Sailor with n Flying Fish.
Persons who have not experienced
somo seafaring among the West India
Islands and become to some extent
familiarized with the tricks and antics
OF the flying fish which abound In these
waters will be surprised at the velocity
they attain in their short flights. Tho
fish will never loave the water unless
compelled to do so by their natural enc
mics, tho dolphins. and when they do
fly they shoot through the air like
rocket.
Some years ago, while on voyage to
Rio Janeiro. | had an experience of tho
Cuban coast with flying fish that am
not likely TO forget and which made me
the subject OF considerable merrimoht
among my older companions. Tho ma
jority of them we're old sailors who had
visited these waters many times before
and were well acquainted with the
tricks of the winged fish.
They prefer flying at night and 1t was
during the midnight watch that met
with my adventure. The night was one
of those balmY evenings peculiar to sub
tropical waters, seldom II ever expert
encod in the north. The full moon was
shining so brightly that one could al
most feol its rays. The breeze had fall
en- away completely, allowing the sails
to flap lazily against the spars in accom-
paniment to the monotonouss squeaking
tho vessel as she wollowcd lazily In the
trough of the long ground swell As
far as eye could reach around the
horizon not a ripple whs visible
on the surface of the sea. Tho
very elements appeared to be
slumbering. Tho whole latch, With
the exception OF the man at the wheel

ing. | was seated up ON tho capstan on
the "look OUT but the somnolonce of
the very atmosphere itself kept me In
n drowsy state Just between waking and
sleeping. This, together with the mus
ical chirping OF Mother Carey's chick.
ems" in the fore rigging, proved too
much for my feeble efforts at walSeful-
moss and several times came within
an ace of falling overheard, This con-
tinued until noar the ond of my watch.
when as peacefully dozed off heard
o sudden "swish,r and before / was
aware Of what had happened received
terrific blow between the eyes, tho
force OF which knocked me of tho cap
stan oyor tho windlass down to the deck
among tho players. lleaped up, seized
Delaying pin and with string OF sui
phuric explctivcs demanded to know
who hit me. My answer was burst OF
laughter, and one of tho mon pointed to
the top-gallant forccastlo at a large fly
ing fish tapping on tho deck. 1t had
