the aDle seaman was ready 1Or scd. ouI lAO
Manila man, while getting ready. said;
"Al rightee we 60 boat upset
swim So this party went back to the
grocery. On the porch in front we're about
forty CAdians playing cards, and putting
chips into tin pans on the table. The pro
prietor was particular to inform the party
that they were not playing for money That
was against the law. Law: what law
said the doubter; "who makes law tor you
way down here r. "Oh, make the law:
when one Of them men gets chips. he buys
things out of my store.' Boys" said the
treasurer, "that is very hugh thing. These
men are playing for the benef. OF COM
merce. 1t is useless to attempt to stay the
current Of trade. We will float with the
stream until the storm is over. Let us buy
some of his chips and play for the grocer
ies." Which they did. And when one
game had been played the rain was over,
and the party had delightful sal! home in
the cool evening breeze, arriving just in
time for dinner.
After dinner ball, proclaimed by ali
WuO were ca pSI Us III SuCA AoLsCAo ~ OO SAAC
best ever seen on the island, was given.
About twenty Of our 'Cadian friends came
over to it. and enjoyed themselves hugely.
At twelve o'clock Charlie Jaeger played
.Home, Sweet Home" and concluded the
labors of the day were over. E.regicus
mistake: He had to serenade every house
on the island. This took till three o'clock.
Charlie was going to bed then, any way,
but Dennie told him it was an absolute
necessity to see if any one was asleep. A
match through the bedrooms, the music
aided by all the power of forty pair of
lungs, settled that question. It then
became an absolute necessity to march
half . mile to the boat and sere
made this. After the boys had become
satisfied that no one was asleep on
the Bossier, Charlie was allowed to lead
the way back to his dormitory, and with a
| parting "blow" was bade good night. 1t
didn't seem of much use. to some. q. least,
| to 90 to bed then, four o'clock In the morn

an hour, so they went and got some ice. A
piece of this luxury artlsacally placed on

Once more in the surf. once more az Mar.
| gots bountiful board, one more march to
the sea, and sixty three of the excursion
lists were on the BOssier bound tor home.
| One was left behind. He was seen on the
roof OF the hotel. frantically gesticulating.
| The atmosphere around him. when viewed
through glass, looked very blue. The
| appearance was probably caused By audible
conversation with himself.
Charles band didn't play much on the
homeward trip. The twelve dozed in theiz
chairs. unmolested But woe t" any one
else who forgot the presence he was in and
fell into the arms Of Murphy. The rene
dy for nightmare was applied with free
| hand. Burnt cork Ornamented his features
He was tied. Oysters were pu. in hi:
pockets. Commissions of nature seemed tc
overtake him and make him think the
boiler had burst. No sleep for any one OF
that trip.
After dinner the return OF compliments
was in order. The little lady whose per
sonal qualities had won the hearts Os fire
men and guests was the first to be thanked
Harry Wilde, in calling the boys to order
