with contrary winds, high seas and ter
rife storms, he reluctantly consented to
give up his efforts after a struggle Of
sixty-two days, and returned to Ameri-
ca on a bark which kindly consented to
take him and his sea beaten boat back
to New York. 8
The captain isa very interesting char
acter. He is man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn from the object which
he has in view. He has made the SUBJ
ject of small boat sailing such study
that he is prepared to meet every argu-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds of his critics, yet the New
York Herald put the case in nutshell
when it said: 1.-THE fact that Capt. An.
drews can cross the ocean in cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when a Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that 'shalf
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that a
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might,
or ship loaded with a heavy cargo,
but o row boat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may capslze; but will.
nevertheless, float The passengers on
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go to sea, but all around the
deck they see wooden boats hung up on
which they arc taught to depend for
their lives if the big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
the great vessel or are capsized in
lowering. ] am alone in wooden boat
entirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than others.'' An
ingenious theory but hardly fair one.

DOCTOR recently returned from q.
New Hampshire village says that he

the host took the doctors order for
eggs on toast he called it out in a deem
bass voice, then stepping out into the

ate pitch and invoked response from

the daring Captain writes by an in
coming ship when he is hundreds of
miles from shore) that he finds the
Sapolio' in a sea-way Is {. scrubber
but very lealzy." No better proof Of his
GOODNESS and pluck could be given.
The start was made at 4:30 Wednes-
day, July 2oth, the destination being
Palos, Spain. Capt. Andrews has in
structions to scour the seas until he
discovers that port and the starting
point of Columbus. It is believed that,
sailing in a fourteen foot boat without
so much as hot cup of coffee to vary
his diet Of biscuits and canned goods, he
will, single-handed, eclipse the record
of that Spanish-Italian adventurcr who
almost failed to cross the great ocean
with three ships, $50 men, after secur-
ing the Queens jewels to pawn and
having the blessing of the Church
thrown in. Tbs Columbus is sailing in
boat which had never been in water
until the hour when he started on his
1900 mile trip. He has been spoken
in mid-ocean several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate
success. His effort should interest all
Americans as a test of pluck, endurance
and good seamanship. That it is not a
foolhardy affair is proved by his for
mer success and by the notable trip in
which he battled for sixty-two days
without reaching the other side Thou
sands of people saw the start, his pres
ence at different points on the ocean
has been noted by large numbers of
vessels, and his landing on the other
side will no doubt be made a matter of
public demonstration and rejoicing. As
he sailed from the pier he .said, .sIn
sixty days will be in Spain," and up
to the last reports he had made better
time than he anticipated. Every day
during the voyage a bottle will be
thrown overheard noting the location
and other information about the trip
If Capt. Andrews succeeds in reach
ing Spain and joining in the October,

will then return in one of the great
steamers and arrange to exhibit his
boat and the log which he writes up

lures Of the magnificent display which
