"'Men, to the hatchesr came the stern
command of officers to crew. Every
ventilator was forced down air tight.
But the work seemed like driving nails
into the face of providence. Another
wave, almost scaling the sky, it appeared,
washed up and fell to pieces on our deck,
crashing through all barriers. To save
my own life | climbed into the he Id and
waited for the storm to die away.
Scarcely five minutes did the hurri-
cane last before it dashed off in a north
erly direction, permitting us to speed out
from beneath the crook of its elbow,
while the death dealing monster whipped
the foaming sea with its hideous tail
"Strewn upon the deck were the dead
forms of three of our men. The tragedy
threw pail over the entire force, and
with all of the mercy of humanity, we
lowered the bodies of our luckless mates
into the sea. Upon taking an account
of stock we found sixtyseven dead cat
tie on the upper deck and twelve that
had died of suffocation on the lower
deck. We stripped them of their hides
and threw their carcasses to the fishes"
This was the most exciting incident of
my friends trip. In time the ship arrived
on the other side, and he returned to

and determined to earn his living some
other way.
After all, the vocation OF a cattle boat
man is not one that would be likely to
heartily recommend to any person pos
sessed of delicate Tor sensitive) phys
ical organization. At the same time
there are many men who do try it, and
apparently it agrees with them, for they
stick to it, And the demand for this
class of helm has increased until there
are now l 500 men regularly employed in
taking care of cattle engaged in the
boat traffic between this port and Eng
land.
