The First Great Ocean steamship Race.

The First Great Ocean Steamship Race.
There are, undoubtedly, many men and
women in New York to-day who went
down to the Battery and cheered and
waved their hands in greeting to the first
steamship that entered this port from
Europe. This important event took
place on April %, 1883. and it was doubly
interesting and significant because not
only the first transatlantic steamship
came to anchor in the harbor that day,
but the second also; steam travel across
the sea thus beginning with race that
was earnestly contested and brilliantly
won. Furthermore, it was a race that
attracted infinitely more attention than
any of the contests that have succeeded
it. Two steam vessels had crossed the
Atlantic in years previous, both having
started from this side; the Savannah,
from Savannah, in 1919; and the Royal
William, from Quebec, in 1881, but
neither of these voyages had demon
strated the feasibility of abandoning the
fine sailing packets and clippers for
steamers when it came to long voyage.
The Savannah used both steam and sail
during is of the 25 days required for
passage to Liverpool, and more than one
clipper overlook and passed her during
the voyage. The Royal William had to
utilize all her hold for coal in order to
carry sufficient fuel to insure compile
tion of the voyage. Public interest ac-
cordingly was deeply stirred on both
sides of the ocean when, in 1887, it was
learned that two steam vessels were on
the stocks, building for the American
service. These were the Sirius, at Lon
don, and the Great Western, at Bristol.
1t was these vessels that made the first
race; the Sirius making the trip, meas
ued from Queenstown, in 184 days, and
the Great Western in 141 days. The
Sirius, having had nearly four days start,
came in a few hours ahead of the win
ner. She brought seven passengers, and
whether the Great Western had others
than her crew ON board can not now be
ascertained.-[From Ocean Passenger

But she would never go, he knew, al
long as his father lived and was help
less in the chains of his CALLING habits
She clung too fondly to what was gen
tie in the man to set him adrift, or eve
cease to hope that something at lasi
might save him. And the boy himself,
responsive to the ties of nature, felt a
throb of pity fly to his heart when he
thought of death for the one who had
given him even so hurt and hateful a
life.
After time, when the day had come
nearer its close, he reused himself from
his brooding stupor and turned toward
the house. The west was now a vast
bank of dead and smouldering fire, and
he noticed that a ship seemed sailing
directly into it, looking strangely black
and motionless against the dull, red
fare. Then he suddenly bethought
him of his mother, and limped quickly
up the pathway to the door.

The woman stood moment, leaning
with her soap-eaten hands upon the
tubs edge, and looked after him with
tender eyes. Then she glanced at little
Gabe, six years old, and three-year-ol6
Lannie, who were playing under the
trees, and began washing again. "He's
the best of them all,'' she murmured as
she rubbed. ''His hearts as soft as a
girls; he'd help me more than he does
if he could. Oh, if his father had only
never done that awful thing to him!'
And tears slipped down her cheeks and
fell into the suds.
The boy stopped at spring half way
down the bluff, and, filling the pals,
looked a moment at the mills back Of
the bay. Red-shirted logmen were
working with their cant-hoolxs
among the brown ricks, theil
sing-song cry of s'He-o-he-e-e!" as they
lifted, coming in mellow waves across
the water with the long-drawn, never.
ceasing whine of the feeding saws.
Presently he labored back up the hill
with the water, and when the tubs
were filed and his mother had thanked
him gratefully, he sat down on bench
near by and watched her dreamily.
Mother" he said at last, ssdo you
'spose we will always live here?"
II hope not, dear"
s'Do You think ken ever go to worl,
in the mills, mother?"
81 hope SO, Paul; or maybe at some
thing better. The doctor said, you
know, when. he looked at your knees,
that if some parts that were growed to-
gether could be parted you would not
be bothered much. But you would have
to go away to a big city where they do
such things, and it would cost good
deal" She could not bear to look up,
and kept on washing, feeling the cloud
that always hung over them grow
thicker with thought of all their help
lessness.
EYES," said the boy, after a little
silence, sit would cost lots; but mebbe
something'1 happen sometime, an it

Eyes, something may happen said
the mother, soothingly; sit don't cost
much to live here in this old house that
nobody owns, and as long as l have
strength to wash we won't starve May
be sometime your father'n quit-will
be himself again"
Her voice broke, and the boy got up
with an angry tumult in his breast and
went down to watch Lannie and Gabe,
who now were playing near the preci-
pice. When he had sent them into the
yard he stood looking gloomily out to
sea. The sun mad fallen into the water
far on its western rim, with fat
mass of clouds lying over it like dull
red bed of Goals. Above this a vast
cloud hung in greenish folds, slit here
and there with sharp, bright blades of
light, while half the great vault above
him was covered with troubled, pur-
plish scud.
But he took no note of the seeming
prophecy of storm in the sky; he was
revolving in blind kind of way the
thought that if his father were not in
the world his mother and they would go
back to her people in the east, and all

carefully around it, emerged upon
little platform of stone. There the
shelf came apparently to an end, and as
he turned about in binding eagerness
to find a further way, the voice sprang
out almost from beneath his feet. He
all but leaped into the sea with Joy and
fright.
In an instant he was down upon his
knees peering over the brink, and there
almost in reach of his hand, was his IA
theirs upturned face! He was standing
upon one foot in a break in one of the
pillars that leaned against the cliff,
with his arms about it's shattered top,
and upon its top and within the pro-
tecting circle of his arms, sat thin
faced, yellow-haired child
1t was the strangest, widest picture
Paul Armor had ever seen.
"Oh, father, don't ye let go! I'll save
yet" he cried. With the first look the
child stretched out her arms to him,
and a light that was more than the
radiance of the moon broke over the
mans face.

just why a Fat Man puns.

In suggesting new theory of the suns
light and heat to the members of the Bos-
ton Scientific Society, Mr.. George Smith
recently showed scientific reasons why a
fat man should suffer more than lean
one in summer.
The new theory, briefly put, is this:
Gravity is an ethereal force continually
streaming from space through every solar
and celestial body. If the body is not
movable with relation to some larger
body, this force of gravity becomes that
form of molecular motion which we call
heat.
As gravity depends upon the mass of a
body, and heat is, according to Mr..
Smiths theory, in one sense gravity, it
follows that the larger body is the
hotter. Hence the fat mans discomfort.

Then grasping the rope tightly Paul
began to pull and the child swung
away from the man and hung over the
plunging waters with wide, terrified
eyes. Slowly he drew her up, and the
man watched until she was safe on the
ledge; then he said: ''Now, son, I'll see
what good l aml'' and he began strug-
Cling to get upon the end of the leaning
column.
Again and again he essayed it: he
was so numb he could scarcely move.
The boy watched him, with every
muscle rigid from sympathy The
action seemed to warm and freshen the
man, and at last he got upon the pillars
end and sat still, with his forehead rest
ing against the cool wall before him.
'.Now, my son." he said when he had
gotten his breath, ''tal1e all the time We
need for gettin' the little thing onto dry
ground I'll be a-restin' while y're gone.
Don't hurry, I'll be a-restin'. Keep the

Slowly and warily the boy picked his
way through the curling mist, guiding
lifting, leading the frightened child
along the dizzy path. At last they came
down and out upon the beaten sand,
and as he took the rope from round the
child's quivering form he heard cry,
and looking up saw his mother coming
down the rain-gullied bluff, with the
gray light of dawn breaking over the
edge of the cliff behind her
''Oh, mother, he's comel Fathers
comet cried the boy. "He's just
round yander! I'll bring him in min
ute!''
The woman's haggard face lit up as
she ran forward to meet him. When
she saw the child she stopped short.
'sWhy-why, where did that little thing
come from?" she asked.
II don't know, mother. Father said
she'd been holding him round the neck
an keepin' him from drowndin'," said
the boy, and he looked at the shivering
wait with something like awe.
The child sat still on the rock where
Paul had placed her, and looked from
one face to the other. Her clothes were
fine and thin, but torn and wet, and her
tangled curls clung about her thin neck
like yellow silk. Her blue eyes were
very appealing, and the woman dropped
down on her knees beside the child with
great pang of pity at her heart.
''Oh, you poor, drowned, starvin lit
tie thing!" she said, whats become of
your mammy?" The child gazed at her
wonderingly moment, and murmured
something in a foreign tongue.
''Mereyn exclaimed the woman. sit

and she put her faded shawl about it
Suddenly the boy started up. ''I'm
goin' now, mother" he. said. ''I'm GO
in after father!" and before the woman
could comprehend he snatched the rope
and ran up in the spray and was swal-
lowed from her sight The act appalled,
her, and she sprang screaming after
him, but she slipped on the wet rocks and |
the plunging sr1rges beat her back. To |

had passed into billowlng fire. The mo-
ments seemed interminable; would he |

CHAPTER III.

| CHAPTER II. 49,
| AS Paul Armor crept back along the
ledge his heart beat very fast. Up and
down, in and out, painting, hurIying, he
passed above the turmoil of waters.
Would they be there when he returned?
Oh, for wings, or even sound limbs! But
how came his limbs so halting? He did
not think of that now, with his father,
who had MANNED him, hanging there so
near to death. Pity had turned the
noisome current of hate aside, and he
was being carried forward on the ever
saving, ever-healing stream of love.
| In a few minutes, that seemed as
many hours, he came down upon the
beach. His blood was fairly leaping,
and he ran along the sand pitching for
ward in his lameness, and looking pal
lid and wild in the moonlight. A little
way beyond his fathers broken boat he
came to a sort of landing. He remem-
bered having seen rope there. Yes,
there it lay, coiled and wet, on the bow
of a canoe. His face lit up and he
seized it with a joyous cry. But it was
| fastened to the boat! Instantly he fell
upon his knees, and began pulling and
tugging at the knot, using both fingers
and teeth in his eagerness. But it was
sodden and solid, and would not yield

turned; and in moment he had it off,
and, climbing upon the edge of the boat,
le wound the rope about his shoulders
md hands and lifted hard. Suddenly.
as he strained, the rusty bolt left its
socket, and he plunged headlong from
the boats side upon the wet sand.
Scrambling up, and snatching the rope,
he hurried down the beach. Without
waiting to take breath, or steady him
self, he plunged into the spray, and,
climbing above the surf, took his dam
gerous way across the head. Onward
he went, creeping along the dripping
ledge, with clouds of mist rolling past
him up the cliff, and now and then the
moonlight breaking through upon him.
AS he approached the beetling point
that hid his father and the unknown
child from view he paused with futter-
ing pulse and listened. No sound save
the long rolling crash of the. incoming
surges met his ear. Tremblingly he
crept on round the point and looked
down; there they hung! and his heart
gave great leap at the sight. The man
with closed eyes seemed sinking down,
but the child still held him fast about
the neck.
Father! father!" shouted the boy,
with warning voice, I'm come! I've got

The man reused himself with a pitiful
smile and the boy made a hurrieo moose
of the rope and cast it down. The
father steadied himself and at length
got the moose over the child's head and
around its body. Then he kissed her
and said, falteringly: "Idon't know who
