lot OF sturdy Swedes engaged in his
pound" fishing. I noticed Yesterday
that he had very large boat which he
used IN visiting his nets, that extend
Tor two hundred yards into the ocean.
These nets are attached to long poles
driven into the bottom OF the sea by a
novel airspnmp that acts like a pile
driver, lie agreed to take nv boat ont.
What ! wished was to give il the severest
test that is, take her ont beyond the
breakers and les her drift ashore in the
trough OF the sea. The boat had hardly
cleared the beach before a huge wave
struck her q square blow upon her
side and she rolled Ike huge Gle
phant, but though the water went far
above hergunwales, and but for her cover
would lave swamped her, she quickly
righted herself II was done so cleyerlv
that ] took of my hat and huzaaed.
As she went out she would sometimes
disappear from sight, but soon rise on
the crest Of the wave all right. had
taken down bags 30 ballast her with
sand, but 1 found it so hard TO launch
her, being n keel boat that-bottom boats
are always used for he surf. that | con
cudcd not TO load her. When satisfied
that she could not be capsiZed had her
brought ashore. When she grounded
hinge mcrtilcss wave struck her terrific
blow as she lay helpless upon her side,
and ! imagined l heard her groan with
pain, but she rolled over and quickly
recovered herself. The experiment was
satisfactory, though / never doubt
ed her capacity 70 stand any surf.
and only wish tho weather had been
stormy. Yesterday and to-day have been
delightful, with no wind. Yet since
morning the breakers have been in
crcasss in size, due to bad weather
elsewhere. They extended ont about
300 yards, and when they broke on the
shore reminded me of tho discharge OF
a number Of heavy cannon. BY being
left exposed 10 the weather four months.
without my knowledge, the bottom
leaked little, but not one drop of water
came through the canvas, though 1t
went nearly up TO the yentllators, which
are situated about four inches from the
top / had intended 10 try the boats
sailing qualities, rs we had plenty room
at sea, but while she lay unprotected, TO
my surprise, for four months at the
beach, boys had cut oil for gravel
shooters the rubber cuffs from every
oarsleeve, and / had TO tie them up with
ropes and could not use oars to aid the
sail in getting her of and the hour was
also too late.
The principle involved in the superior
safety OF small boat over a large one,
especiallyif you can keep the water out.
IS somewhat akin TO the superior ability
of q saplng to withstand a storm that
tears mp the giant OAK 10y the roots. The
one yields without a fight; the other
cannot yield if it would. The wind
might blow the small boat out of the
water, but not under it; the big ship
must 60 under as she cannot be lifted
out OF the water. Yours truly.

ROANOKE, May 4.-The wife of II. II.
Cardwell, prominent businessman and
n member OF the City Council. died at
1870 o'clock last night after very
brief illness. Mr.. Cardwell attended
the night session of the Counci aud con-
vention, leaving his wife well, but on
bis return home learned that she had
been sick and vomiting, but was much
better. Immediately after he knelt in
prayer she arose from the bed, crossed
the room, aud after a brief vomiting
spell exclaimed ooh my husband, y
and fell to the floor dead.
The coroner regarded the suddenneas
OF her death as warranting an inquiry
into the cause. The investigation will
be continued and concluded tomorrow.
Suspicion does not rest upon any one.
Much sympathy is expressed for the be-
reayed husband.
