where y number oil the iar creatures were
waiting with thread and needles, and in les.
time than it takes to write this each one OF
his garments were tightly sewed up,
and sent back to his room and the
ladies' were anxiously waiting the arrival OF
the boat at this port, when the fun would
| commence. Immediately on her arrival
Fred was called and said San right, / viii
he out in q minute - but Fred did not come
raped loudly on the door, apparently in =
bad humor at Fred's delay, and told him the
boat was waiting Oh him, aud Tor him to ge
out ofthat room. During all this time Free
was blowing and pulling and trying 10 ge
his pants on, but could not: then he trieo
his coat and vest but found them in like
condition and there he was in u devil Of q
fix, the captain mad, the boat waiting on
him, and lie unable TO leave his room. FL
nally he thought OF his "sunday go 10 meet
ing suit" which the ladies failed to sew. and
in few minutes he made his appearance
when he was greeted with merry peals o.
laughter from the mischieyous creatures who
had assembled in the office.
