Captain Andrews Log Reads Like a
iRoniance of the Sea.

4-2-AT va
In a little book entitled columbus
outdone"", Captain William A. Andrews
who has acquired fame by crossing the
Atlantic in small boats, and who is now
in Baltimore arranging for another SINH
lar voyage. tells of his adventures in the
little l4-foot boat, Sapolio, in which he
Spain. in 1892. The voyage occupied sixty
nine days, including a stop at Azores
Islands.
During all of his four voyages he new
sisted mainly of canned beef, condens-
ID milk, ship biscuits, beef extract and
canned beans Nearly all his meals Z :
the boats tiller.
Alone on the ocean for weeks at a
stne' without sighting E vessel he
self would scarcely have ventured on
such a trip. Americas discoverer had
three good size vessels, l5o men; the best
tain Andrews had nothing but a cot
fin shaped boat, IA feet long, a little
compass and q chart. But through all
his dangers, and lonely hours Captain
him.
wh hshe sa iasFs It IKE the q fi9fIs cr sasd b msns
she started. so she does" replied her
built her myself I will be my own under
taker If she sinks.
One week after leaving port, when the
little old tub was leaking badly and
death stared Captain Andrews in the
face, sth.s entry was made, in the leg:
mo mail today; cant understand
why my best girl don't drop ms a line"
Another entry describes q bath the. cap
|tafn took and comments en- the fact
that when you're travelling this way no
bathing sui or bath tub ls necessary.'
One dark night a big sea nearly swamp
| ed the little craft and this is how the
log describes the event:
"I just turned in. I have just
turned out again. AS soon as / closed
my eyes q big sea came over and clap.
| ped me on the s~cocoanut.,. AS ] pail her
cut J am singing that good old song so
nopular among the Hibernian gentry OF
the pick and shovel who reside near
| Harlem, New York, .Woork, Ye Terriers,
EWorkp Bail. Ye Terriers, Ba.lH I"
Sighed lots of little fishes swimming
| about my boat, waiting for q dolphin to
| come along. Then they will 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 put
them on. Haven't had mine on for q
Wesk. They are wearing ~splendidly.'
And so on goes tlle log. day after day,
nearly every entry containing ON al
| tempt at. humor, showing the fearlessness
and buoyant disposition of the lone
