spent (says well known author) an
evening lately with Captain Strout, OF the

his experience, he related the followlng:
II once had man." he said. who
sailed with me many voyages and who,
though thorough seaman, and ordinarily
quiet and orderly, yet gave me q great
deal Of trouble. In those days we used
more rum ON shipboard than we do now.
and this man often contrived to get tipsy,
and when in that condition he would in.
variably try to drown himself. had
borne with him long time, when, as
was one day in my cabin busy with my
reckoning, l heard an unusual hustle on
deck, and upon running up to learn the
cause, / found that it came from this lei
lows trying to jump overheard. and his
shipmates trying to prevent him from do
ing so. The man was quite tipSy, and l
thought would not only sober him, but
give him lesson which might make an
impression. Accordingly, dispatched
one of the hands for the deep-sea line.
This / secured firmly around the culprit' 5
body, contriving that the lead, weighing
about fifty pounds, should dangle under
his arm. Having made all ready. pitch
ed the fellow overheard. and let him sink
a few fathoms. He was soon drawn TO
the surface, and allowed to squirt ont the
saltwater and to breathe, and then
dumped him again. As we drew him up
the second time, he struggled and shouted
for dear life.
For mercy's sake don't drown me !! he
cried
q To be sure WILL said l. Wont it
save you the sin of suicide? You'd better
go into the next world by my hands than
by your own"
'And then dropped him again. this
time letting him go by the run at least
five fathoms down. lie was finally taken
on deck, completely exhausted, and en-
tirely sober He sailed with me four years
after that, the best hand had and as for
drowning himself, he neycr threatened OF
attempted it again"
