A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Captain and Crow Cooped Up In Cap
sized Vessel.

sized Vessel.
No seaman ever knew more ter
rible and unique experience than that
which fell to the lot Of Captain James
Morse, Of Phipsburg, an experience
that thrilled the sea-going world at
that time. Captain Morse had been
cvertaken by terrible gale, and
while "lying too" one of the tremen-
dous waves which plunged along mast
high "tripped" the vessel and she
was instantly turned bottom up. Cap
tain Morse and a companion were in
the cabin at tho time, and as the
deck was several feet below the sur
face of the sea they were imprisoned
there. They were in absolute dark
ness, standing in water up to their
waists, seemingly helpless and
doomed.
But Captain Morse and his COM
panion were not the kind of men to
surrender 10 the seemingly inevitable
until forced to do so. Cropping about
they found Ratchet and decided to
hew their way TIC the upper air. Know
ing that as soon as an opening was
made the air, which was then shut in
by the arch of the inverted hull, would
escape and the water take its place,
they were obliged to work with the
greatest caution lest they make fatal
leak before there was hole large
enough to permit of their escape, and
SO be drowned like rats imprisoned
there. For days they worked. cutting
away the ceiling and planks until
they could catch the CLEAN of light
through the thin wood in one place,
then cutting again until another
part was similarly cleared. and so on
until the light, passing through the
slight surface, marked the lines of
square place large enough to admit
the free passage of mans body.
Then, when every possible prepara-
ton had been made, and there
seemed to be nothing more that they
could do to insure the success of the
final move, they knocked out the OBJ
structing square and crawled into tho
daylight as the water, freed from tho
opposition of the compressed air, fol-
lowed them, and the vessel sank lower
IllIo tllt Nottt ltillll lIlt DubN-
ancy of the timber checked her.
There they were, pcrched on tho
curved surface of capsized wreck,
drifting at the mercies of the seas.
But they had no idea of surrender.
Having escaped to the light they at
once set TO work to build up sort of
signal station to attract the attention
of any vessel that might chance to
come that way, and upon the top they
fixed staff from which nuttered a
signal--a shirt.
Fortunately, a brick-laden schooner
passing that way sighted the signal
Of distress, bore down upon and
rescued tho mon, who were almost
exhausted by their days Of suffering
thore, their torn hands showing how
they had labored there in the terrible
darkness, but they soon recovered, and
any one talking with the captain to-
day would never suspect that he once
dug his way out Of the sepulcher of
the sea.

Various Ideas Entertained ty tho Peo-

In archaic times the moon was re-

night added to the mystery. until,
from being viewed as a man, it was

angry, in mist or an eclipse, and so
reverenccd and worshiped as the
heaven mantle monthly god.
We learn from Max Muller that
"moOn" is very old word, and in
Anglo-SaXOn, where it was used as o
masculine and not feminine, was
mona In all the Teutonic Ian
guages the sun was feminine, and it
is only through the influence of class
zeal models that in English moon has
been changed into feminine and the
sun into masculine. Even in com

were fond of calling the sun and moon
