The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1895-05-04
ON THE SOUTHERN SEAS.
-Harper'S.

Two CHASTITY creatures sat facing each
other in their worthless misery as the
wind died away and the tattered rem
nants of the sail hung m~otionless after
a last faint lutter. The thing that sat
aft-for surely SO grotesquely horrible
q vision could not be a man-pointed
with hands like talons of a bird of prey
to the purple outline of the island in the
west, and his black. blood-baked lips
moved. opened and essayed to speak.
The other being that, with bare and
skinny arms clasped around its bony
knees, sat crouched in the bottom of the
boat, leaned forward to listen.
"Ducie Island. Enderby. said the first
in a hoarse. rafting whisper; mo one
IS on it; but water is there and
plenty of birds and turtle, and q few
cocoanuts."
AT the word "water" the listener gave
9 curious, gibberish chuckle, unclaped
his hands from his knees, and crept
further toward the speaker.
And the current is setting us down
to it, wind or no wind. l believe we'll
see this pleasure trip through after all"
