OF my family give me another chance
and i shall stop this business" He man
aged to open the hatch, and, swimming
round the vessel, climbed upon the keel.

storm continued all this time, the wind
blowing with such force that when he
opened the hatch the little wind that he
respired caused sound like big
whistle: the lamp oil was also now ex-
hausted and being Goo fatigued to keep
watch, he lay ON the bottom of the boat
for four days.
On Saturday, the god, the water was
all gone. On the same day he saw a
black point of smoke on the horizon,
and two hours afterward he found him

Andrews, who is only forty eight years
old, looks to be at least fifty-five. He
declares that he will never attempt the
voyage again. He is piano maker, and
has wife in Boston, and several child
dren and grandchildren.
