Moore Is IS years old. He decided ia
steal his passage from Liverpool to
America and concealed himself in the
hold Of the steamer Templemore OF
the Johnston line. Here amid suffo
eating heat he remained hidden for
nine days. He was discovered
by one Of the sailors when three
days out, but, instead of in.
forming the captain, the sailor took
pity on the youth and gave him
some bread and water when possible.
Moore's rations, however, were short,
as the sailor did not dare to run the
risk OF being caught offering succor to
a stowaway. When nine days out the
engineer discovered the stowaway and
quickly informed the captain. When
Moore was brought before the captain
he was threatened with Imprisonment
when the ship reached Baltimore; also
with the treadmill upon being re.
turned to England. The thoroughly
frightened youth was finally set tc
work and given some bread and water.
Possible Imprisonment in two coun.
tries was not a very desirable outlook
for the young Briton. At first there
seemed to be no way OF escape, but u,

Two shall be born the whole wide world

And speak in different tongues and have
thought
Each for the others being. and no heed
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death;
And, all unconsciously, shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one
end
That, one day, out of darkness they shall
meet
And read life's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way of
life.
So nearly side by side that should one turn
Even so little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged face

With cropping hands that never clasp, ana
