Mr. Andrews will take along dozen
or SO waterproof torpedoes, which eN-
plode on the surface with report equal
to that of a SiX-pounder. These, he
thinks, will cause the big fish to keep
away from him. Icebergs can be de-
tected by the lowness of the tempera-
ture in the neighborhoOd, but drifting
wreckage, if encountered at night,
would do serious damage to, if not sink,
the boat. Mr.. Andrews will not be able
to carry a lamp after dark, as its CLEAN
would be sufficient to attract every fish
for miles around, thus bringing him
into proximity with some very unpleaS-
ant customers. Without the lightIthe

The logs from the famous lumber raft
that was wrecked last winter cause Mr..
Andrews good deal of uneasiness, as

The trip across the Atlantic has been
made by four small American boats, the

which were of such dimensions that the
trip was in each case most dangerous

goes over is smaller than any of them.

came the Centennial, 20 feet over all, 16

Bedford, 10 feet:5 inches over all, Is feet
keel and 4 feet 4 inches deep, and then
the Nautilus, 19 feet over all and Is feet

have been other dory passages from va
rious points in Europe to other points
on the European continent Oh the shores
of Great Britain. But only the four
aforementioned craft have crossed the
Atlantic ocean. i.
While Capt Andrews and the Dark
Secret are making the perilous voyage
all captains OF steamers and sailing
craft should keep sharp eye open for
the little craft. He intends to burn no
light at night, for fear of the thousands
of big fishes and sharks that swarm
about such curious little ship. He is
willing to take his chances of being run
down, and does not expect to be seen by
the big ocean racers as they shoot past
him after nightfall. During the day
time, however, his sail will be up, and he
will be glad to stop and exchange COM
pliments with all captains.

1854, and said he would be Eclipse this
year, the others not placed.
Having been elected governor. of
New York by over 10000 MAJORITY in
1882" he said, sit seemed to me very
narrow margin to have only 1,O47n in
1884, and l used to think this narrow
escape was not altogether one to be
proud of. Congressman Scott, of Penn
sylvania, came in one evening and
was telling him of the great disparity of
my vote in New York between 1882 and
1884, and how it impressed me. !;
''Mr. Scott converted me to his way of
thinking by a practical comparison.
Said he: when good horse beats a
scrub that is not counted an honor
among turf men by any means. but
when your favorite is matched against
the best the field can offer and he comes

you want to win the race. That is what

so much glory to the winning horses -

I cannot now look forth as once could
Along the opening of my coming years,
And say unto my heart. in joyful mood
''Thy best of life is yet to come"-thick
tears
Are binding heart and eyes and path, and all
About is dark with fears
/ strive to look ahead, clouds gather fast;
look behind and see the waning light
Where Happiness and / each other passed,
And knew it not. until tonight, tonight,
The lightning of word look, tone,
Revealed all in its lightI
We may not know why God should shut our
eyes,
And open them again some after day;
Or why he lets Love pass US in disguise,
And just allows the faint, sweet atter-ray
OF His inverted torch to touch our lives,
And reach our darkened way
We may not know: but in his hand all threads
He holds secure, nor breaks the frailest one !;
Before Him life subtle pattern spreads
And into it He weayes, till all is done:
Then we, shall trace to joyful ends some
threads
We lost when just begun!

Capt. William A. Andrews started for
queenstown this evening ON board his
brave little dory, the Dark Secret, which
measures just twelve feet from stem to
stern. If it reaches it's far-away desti-
nation safely it will be the smallest
craft known to history to successfully
encounter the perIls of the deep on so
long voyage. The tiny boat is built
on model which insures staunchness
rather than speed, and although it can
make creditable headway under stiff
breeze with its queer little snuff-colored
mutton-leg sail, its chief virtue lies in
its capacity to float in the roughest sea.
Its solitary skipper is weather-stained
mariner, whose purpose would be con-
Sidered fOOlhardy were it not for the
fact that he has brave heart, nauti-
cal knowledge second to none and real

yachts and boats in the harbor roared
out laundering godspeed. Capt. An

air. The crowd watched the progress
of the little boat until the gather
ing twilight shut it from theii view,
and then the people went home with
grave fOrebodingS for the captains fate,
but all hoping he would reach port safe

such craft. The chief reason for his

Capt. Andrews, during the spare
moments when the sea is not so high as
to wet his paper, and the sharks are not

dynamite torpedo in his hand instead of
a pencil, will write out bulletins of his
