Romance Of the SEQ.

Romance Of the SEQ.
In a little book entitled "Colunlhsu
Outtlonc" Capt. William a. Andrews,
who has acquired fame by crossing the
Atlantic in small boats, and who is now
in Baltimore arranging for another
similar voyage, tells of his adventures,
in the little 14-foot boat in which he
crossed from Atlantic City to Palss,.
Spain, in 1892. The voyage occupied
sixty-ninc days, Including stop ut
Azores islands.
During all Of his four voyages he.
never tasted warm food. His 'st0ras"'
consisted mainly of canned beef, con.
densed milk, ship biscuits, beef extract
and canned beans. Nearly all his meals
were eaten while he had one hand on,
the boats tiller.
Alone on the ocean for weeks nj a.
time, without sighting a vessel. he sail
cd day after day. Columbus himself
would scarcely have ventured on such
trip. Americas discoverer had three.
good-sized vessels, $50 men, and the.
best equipments of the times, and. IN,
addition, the blessing of the churdh-
Capt. Andrews had nothing but caf-
fin-shaped boat, fourteen feet long. a
little store Of provisions, an old quad
rant, a compass and chart But
through all his dangers and lonely
hours Capt Andrews cheerfulness new
er deserted him.
"She looks like n coffin" said many
who gazcd ut the little craft before she
| started. $50 she does" replied her 0ap-
tain, with grim smile, land as built
her myself / will be my own under
taker if she sinks"
One week after leaving port, when
the little old tub was leaking badly aad
death stared Capt. Andrews in the face,
this entry was made in the log:
| mo mail to-day; can't understand
why my best girl don't drop me Il line"
| Another entry describes q bath the
captain took and comments on the fact
that when you're travelling this WA.
no bathing suit or bath tub is nees-
sary."
One dark night a big sea nearly
swamped the little craft, and this is
how the log describes the event:
"I have just turned in. have just
turned out again. AS soon as closed
my eyes big sea came over and slap
ped me on the 'cocoanut.' AS bail her
out 1 am singing that good old song 50
popular among the Hibernian gentry Of
the pick and shovel who reside near
Harlem, N. Y, Work, Ye Terriers,
Work. Bail, Yc Terriers, Bail
Three weeks out this entry apptIrs;
Sighted lots Of little fishes swim ing
about my boat waiting for dolphin
to come along Then they viii go away
on the inside Of the dolphin"
| A novel way to keep boots from wear
ing out is thus mentioned in the log:
"Have discovered a new way of keep
ing boots from wearing out. Don't pat
them on. Haven't had mine on for q
week. They are wearing splendidly."
And so on goes the log, day after day,
nearly every entry containing some at
tempt at humor, showing the fearless
ness and buoyant disposition Of tho
lone mariner.

BRITISH BEVERAGES.
The English Drink Less Liquor antl
More Tea, Coffee and Cocoa Than
Fcrmerly.

The English Drink Less Liquor md
More Tea, Coffee and Cocoa Than
Formerly.
! On the motion of Sir T.. Seager Hunt
parliamentary return, illustrated by
diagrams, has been issued, showing the
consumption, from the year 1861 up to
the latest date, of alcoholic and non
alcoholic beverages and or tobacco,
compared with the increase of popula-
ton. The general teaching of this off,
clal statement, which has been prepar-
ed by the authorities of the custom
house, is that Of beverages the augmen-
tation in the consumption OF the nom
alcoholic drinks-tea, coffee, cocoa and
chlcory-has far exceeded that of the
alcoholic liquors. The former have
risen from 125,OOO,O00 pounds in 1861
to 265, 100000 pounds in 1893. The fig
ure in the diagram relating to these
articles is sharp and continuous gra-
dent upward.
On the other hand, the consumption
Of British and foreign wines and spir-
IT'S has risen from 35,OOO,OOO gallons in
the same period to 51,OCO,0OO gallons;
but it was considered higher from 1872
to 1878 than it is now. In the same
way the quantity OF beer drunk, though
about 50 per cent more than it was
thirty years ago, shows decline when
compared with the years from 1872 to
lS7S. Exhibited in detail, it appears
hat the Spanish wines attained their
| maximum in 1873 and that the sale is
ess now than it was in 1861. The con-
sumption Of French and Portuguese
! wines is greater than was the case
thirty years ago, but the totals were
larger in 1875 and 1876 than they are
at present. Wines other than those Of
France, Spain and Portugal show a
slight advance.
The consumption of tobacco has risen
in the interval from 2Y,OOO,UoO pounds
to 62,O0O,OOO pounds. The most re-
markable variations are shown in re-
gard to beer. In 1861 the average
amount consumed per head per annum
OF the population of the United King
dom was about "a gallons. In, 1874
| this had advanced rapidly to 33M gal
Ions; it then fell steadily to II gallons
in 1880, and has now risen again to
29h gallons. Foreign wines in the pros
perOcs times of lS74-76 rose to AZ pints
per head yearly average, and they have
| since declined to less than 3 pints.
Spirits, British and foreign, exceeded
10 pints per head in S75, and they now
average less than pints. Of tobacco
the people OF these islands consumed
each, in 1861, ~ ounces per annum on
an average. In 1898 the use OF the
weed had risen to 26 ounces per head
