Arthur Simmons has n Texas pony on
his farm at Chokee whose ability Ms a
jumper cannot be surpassed, says the
Americus (Gn) Times. He is a diminu-
tive specimen of that breed of horseflesh,
and dny or two ago was put into big
box or crate for shipment to Americus,
there being no stock car convenient at
the time.
The pony and box were placed upon a
fiat car and the train pulled out. The
little sample Of Texas cyclone soon got
tired of his close quarters. and while the
train was running at n speed of thirty
miles an hour, kicked the box into a
cooked hat and made IA leap for liberty.
He struck terra firma right side up with
care, AID when the train men came back
to view his cold remains the said remains
were quietly nibbling at keg of iron
spikes on the side of the road. and il took
four men and boy an hour to run down
and capture him. At least that IL what
the conductor said.

At 2 A. NJ. on the morning of Sept. 81,

Shanghai, was struck by cyclone in the
Indian Ocean. Her decks we're swept,
cabin skylights smashed and sails blown
from the bolt ropes.
/ was detailed, with other sailors. under
Second Mate Sebbitt, to bail out the
saloon and captains cabin. We had
nearly completed our task when the mate
appeared and hurriedly told the captain
steamship was on our port bow and both
vessels were steering wildly. The cap
tain jumped to his feet and exclaimed (:
"Shut that cabin door, quick !"
Sebbitt sprang over the preventive
storm board to unfasten the door when a
heavy sea struck the vessel over the star
board quarter, nearly throwing her on
her beam ends. When she righted the
only trace of SebbItt we found was his
cap, which was hanging to Delaying pin
abaft the mizzen rigging. Poor Sebbitt
was washed overheard.
We discharged our cargo at Shanghai,
loaded tea for London. and after quick
run we docked at the Victoria docks.
All hands were in the forecastle getting
ready to go ashore when voice said,
Welcome home, my hearties."
There stood Sebbitt. He told us that
the sea that washed him from the Odessa
threw him, stunned, on the deck of the
Nile. She was bound for Marseilles.
Her second mate being sick, ,Sebbitt took
his place. After loading at Marseilles
they went to South America and back to
