Il dove once IN Mobile bay, where put
over three hundred chains under an iron-clad.
The greatest annoyance we had there was
sharks. They didn't hardly dare tackle us, be
cause with our armor we looked more like
scarcCrows than anything else, They would
come sailing along, and gradually swim to-
wards Us with their great big mouths wide
open, but when within Il few feet of us they
would stop ana lay there tlappin' their fins and
looking it seemed to me, like the very devil
himself Finally we devised n way TO scare
them of that never failed TO brighten them so
that they would stay away an hour or longer
before they dare to come back. The armOr
that we wear is alright, you know. Our jacket
sleeves were fastened around our wrists with
IN elastic, so that the air could not escape. BY
running my finger under the sleeve of my
Jacket could let the air out, and rs ii rushed
into the water it would make Il sort of kissing
noise and Il volume of bubbles shoot up. So
whenever those internal sharks would come
prowling around me, would hold out my arm
toward them and, putting my finger under the
elastic of my jacket sleeve, would let a lot OF
air out and send n stream of bubbles into the
sharks face with a kissing noise like steam
from guagc-cock. The way that those sharks
would go scooing off was funny to behold"

In the first place, ii is necessary to rise above
that narrowncSs of view which regards the
doctrine of hell rs especially IL Christian doc
trinc. or as the monopoly of any particular re
ligion. On the contrary, it is rs ancient and
universal rs the systems Of religious faith that
have ovcrsprcad the world. The Oldest reig-
ions of which we have any knowledge-lln-
doc, Egyptian and the various oriental systems
of worship-all affirm the doctrine of a future
life, with accompanying hellS for the torture
of condemned souls. We certainly cannot as
sumo that all these systems are true, and of di-
vine origin; but, if not, then the question
forces itself upon us, how they came by this
belief The old, historic religious systems
involved advanced and complicated crceds and
rituals. and if they were not real divine revel-
ations in this elaborated shape we are com
