GRANTS who cross tho ocean In small boats
are variety Of the species that jump from
high bridges or 60 through whlrlpools in
barrels, but II ID refreshing 10 read OF q
man who braves equal perils with worthy
object, and that appears TO be the case with
Captain Josiah Warron LAwler. He may

. ssuntiou In England some months ago
by his bold measures for the recovery of
the little yacht Neversink, which had been

Captain Lawlcr, with one man, took
charge Of the thirty-foot yacht Nevorsink
q Boston last May, and engaged to sail
aoross the ocean for the purpose Of demon
strating that the patent water ballast ays.
TEN illustrased In it, construction made the
boat unslnkable and uncapsixable. His
voyage attracted great deal OF attention
II nautical circles, because II was not only
daring feat but would practically test the
value OF new device in tho building OF
small sailing craft. LAwler describes the
Atlantic passage 40 terrible, ~ often
feared that the craft would 60 down, a. not
only tho sea but hugh whales spouted
about mo constantly, thinking the craft
some strange ash. 6warms of sharks
were constantly on our trails, and the At
lantic greyhounds passed us In such haste
that we were seldom seon by those on
board. To save her In heavy gales drag

troubles were not over with the voyage,
for at Havro, Franco, an Englishman
named Black, seized the boat In LAWYERS
absence and took her TO England. He was
acting under orders Of the Norton COM
pany, the owners of the vessel; but the
American was not to be thrown aside SO
easily, and pursuing Black to Southampton
he boarded and claimed the Neversink.
After hard struggle with the three Eng

shore and sought the American consul, who
advised him To arm himself and take pos

bought . revolver and advanced on the
British forces. A sharp fight followed
Black received bullet In his shoulder and
the enemy retired over the side OF the boat,
leaving Captain Lawler in triumphant
possession. For this shooting the captain
was sentenced 10 several months In an
English prison. but public feeling was with
him and he was we'll treated by the prison
governor. He has just returned TO America
In the usual way, but says that no will
again take charge of the Neversink and
sail her around the world. Edison has
given him phonograph and he proposes
TO have eminent men Of foreign nations
