"A white squall, did l ever see one2 !

barge office. we were between here and
the West Indies and il was as fair a day
as you ever put eyes on. l was at the
wheel, and we were bowling along under
a pretty sailing breeze. There wasn't a
cloud TO be seen, unless little white
vapor far off could be called cloud. All
of sudden the captain came up out of his
cabin.
=" Get all the light sails off her as quick
as you can he shouted to the mate. 'Clew
up the royals and topgallant sails. and bear
a hand lively. boys.
Whats the matter with the old man
now said the sailors, they looked
around the horizon and saw nothing but
sunshine and the clear sky.
Nevertheless all hands turned to getting
in the light sails. The captain took the
wheel and sent me to assist. OF course
we all thought it was a piece of foolish
ness but we worked with Will because
the captain told us to.
well, we had no sooner got those sails
in than it struck. Right out of the clear
sky came an awful gale. 1t tore our great
mainsaiI and other sails to ribbons quick
er than a flash. 1t came butt end to- as
the sailors say.
