STORIES OF HE DAY.


The Coral Social Circle took a boating
trip u 2on the placid bosom Of the roman.
ttcbrandywine lasteveniug The circle and
It's guests, several OF whom were younp
women from Philadelphia, occupied two
boats. One was large boat With four
oars, three fellows and five girls. The
other was q small boat with two
oars, three fellows and three or
four girls, which cargo was greater
than the boats register allowed. All
went merry as marriage bell until the
return trip was begun, when the wind
aud tide were againsts the boats. The
three fellows in the large boat attempted
20 induce one Of the fellows In the
small boat to accept position as oars
man ia the large boat He was so com
fortably fixed, however. that ne declined
with thanks.
One Of the girls then shamed his man
hood by taking the oar and the large
boat shot ahead Of the small one. Pretty
soon the occupants Of the large boat
heard cries Of Help Help They
turned attention to the small boat and
saw her flying signals Of distress They
made for her, luffed mp on the
port side, and asked the captain what
the matter WAS. He said
his craft had sprung leak, that they
were without water, and had consumed
all their watermelons and canteloupes.
and thrown the rinds at the frogs An
examination showed that what he said
was only too true The gallant embryo
told the captain OF the miniature Den.
mark that he could take the most prec.
ious part OF his cargo. which
consisted Of three or four girls,
but that the crew must work the
craft into port The girls swallowed
sobs two sizes too large for their threats
and gladly accepted the proffered aid
The leaking craft and It's crew were left
to the mercy OF the waves, and as the
marine news Of to-day does not chronicle
a catastrophe, il is safe to presume that
the crew worked her into port.
