land, Wales, France, Germany, Spain and
the countries bordering on the Mediterra-
mean sea. He has had adventures, too, and
when in the mood he can entertain his fell
low senators with romances of the sea that
equal the tales of Marryat.
One story of the romantic side of sail.
ors life is told by tho California senator,
story which shows that truth is indeed
stranger than fiction. He shipped with a
brig loaded with lumber from st. John,
N. B., bound for Dublin. Among the crew
were three boys younger than himself.
The brig Lizzie Thompson had never been
to sea, and she was found to be unsea-
worthy after few days out. The crew, in
Guiding the boys consisted of but 13
hands. The boys got sick and did not
want to go any farther after the brig be-
gan to leak The men did not like the
looks of things and mutinied. They refused
to work the pumps and insisted that tho
vessel should be put back, and the captain
was finally compelled to yield.
That he was wild about being forced to
do something against his will by the mu-
tiny of the crew those who know the ma
ture OF the average sea captain of 40 years
ago will easily imagine.
They came back to st. John and an
chored, awaiting the action of the authori-
tics. The three boys were disgusted with
the whole sailing business and had had
enough of tho sen Perkins ogreod to e,ot
them off and away. Ho chose n time when
the tido was coming In and tho c,,rro,,t
was very strong. The tide rises es feet ot
St John bigbor than Mt onv other mort In

and was about to let go when one of them
refused to go unless his chest was carried
