A SEA LYRIC.

They went to save the salmon nets
Out Of the hungry sea-
Twas Just outside Of the Harbor bar,
As near as near could be;
It was Just behind the sandy bar,
The women were all on the quay.
The boat rode DER the rolling foam.
They pulled against the wind.
For twas rough within the Harbor bar,
The breakers reared behind;
And gray gulls shrieked DER the shelt'ring
bar,
The caverns with sea birds were lined.
They went to draw the fishing nets:
A cruel, crested wave
Swept slowly on to the Harbor bar.
And scOoped for them grave;
The boat heeled over the harbor bar,
And keel up to the women drave.
They went to save the salmon nets
Out of the leaden sea.
Twas Just outside of the Harbor bar.
Near to home could be:
It was just behind the sandy bar
And beyond the little stone quay.
One moment black against the wave,
The women still with dread.
Then the boat leapt over the Harbor bar,
And on To the Mothers sped;
And two lads lost DER the shifting bar
Till the sea eiveth up her dead.
They went to save the salmon nets
Out of the surging sea,
From just without the sandy bar.
So near. as you can see;
The screams that rang DER the fceting bar
Were the women's cries from the quay

rise to the popular belief that every man
has his double somewhere in the world.

professor was walking homeward from
his lecture room, when gentleman. en-

the street, saying:
"Follow me to my house. Iwant you
to cut my hair"
The amiable professor, one of whose
principles of life it has always been never
to withhold from fellow creature any
service that it might be within his power
to render, meekly accompanied the stran-
ger home and there addressed himself to
the task thus imperatively prescribed to
him.
Lacking professional scissors, he
picked up pair of shears, used for cut
ting paper, from writing table in the
dressing room to which he had been con

THE SAN FRANCISCO BOAT AND
THE HAWAII.

EDIroR BUnETN:--
Mr.. Fraser, the coXswain Of the
San Francisco's boat in the boat race
at Pearl River ON the 18th, complains
in your issue of yesterday that the
yacht Hawaii gave them her dead
water and wash for mile, whereby
he explains his defeat. He also IN.
dulges in q number Of insinuations
which need not be noticed. 1t would
seem as though the fact that the San
Fraucisccs had heavier boat and
the kapiolani good crew, were
sufficient reasons for the result of the
race without seeking imaginary ones.
lf the San Franchises think that |
have done them an injury, | regret
it but the statements made by Mr..
Fraser are Incorrect. The Hawaii
was at no time nearer than 100 yards
to any of the three boats while ON
the course, and when at that distance
she was sailing between the lines
rowed by the race boats, and in the
same direction the boats were row.
ing. As the San Francisco's boat
did not row in our wake, they could
not take our dead water; and as we
were from 100 to 400 yards in ad.
vance of them, going in the same
direction, they could not take oul
wash. LORRIN a. THuRsroN.
