Supcrstitious people will have
encouragement in their belief of
dreams by an experience related
recently by a certain sea captain
running into Honolulu.
Just previous to his departure
ON a voyage the captain was re-
qucstcd by a merchant of San
Francisco to take with him his
nephew who desired to spend
his vacation as a sailor aboard
ship. After considering the mat
ter and deciding upon what work
he could assign the young man
to he gave his assent. Before
leaving San Francisco the mer-
chant called on the captain and
made a further request that his
ncphew's school companion be
allowed to accompany him also.
This was complied with and the
lads given their quarters on the
vessel and assigned to duty on
the deck, A few nights after
ward, and when the vessel was
at sea the captain dreamed he
had lost one of the Young men
overheard and 50 startled was
he that the dream awakened
him. Then. he reasoned with
himself: how could it be posi-,
bic that the boy would be lost
when his work on the vessel kept
him on the deck and did not take
him aloft. The dream impressed
him to such an extent that he re-
lated it to the passengers in the
morning. The believers in
dreams suggested caution, others
sCoffed at the idea and the cap
tain decided to keep a rigid
watch on his ward and see that
he did not attempt any duty that
would take him into danger.

down was joined in by the lad
and then a sudden gust of wind
threw the boom in the opposite
direction and the young mar
held to the rope and was jerked
over the rail into the sea. In AT
instant the captain threw him
a life buoy; eight minutes later
the life boat was launched anC
pulled to the buoy but the lac
was gone. We do not encourage
a belief in dreams but the eX
perience of this captain will
probably make him as super
stitius as the next man.
