A CAPE COLDER.
Randall Bros New Racing Yacht.

Now Being Built by j. HI. Dyer-Shc Has
the Peculiar Shape of the Cape Cod
Racers.
There will be lively times in the harbor
next summer, when the yacht which Mr..
Joseph h. Dyer is building for the
Messrs. Randall starts out to show what
she can do. A strange model is that of this
new craft, a model still out of the
common in these waters but one which in
the Cape Cod region has won distinction.
In fact the term Cape Cod racer carries
with it the idea Of speed. and Cape
Cod racer is what this new boat is. The
yacht is being built on Custom House
wharf and the workmen are now busy
putting on the planking A noticeable
thing about the big boat as she lies in
Harford's shed tilted over on her star
board side,l Is her great beam and shallow
draught. Before the wind she will be a
4" skimming dish" indeed but when sail
ing by the wind, the boat should get a
good grip on the water, Judging from the
size Of the center board. 1t Is ten feet

MISS ARNoLD's LECTURE
At the High School notwithstanding
Talk on Education.

A large audience assembled at the
High school building Saturday even ing
to listen to "a lecture by Miss Arnold on
the subject of education. Mrs. George
IS. Hunt, presided and introduced the
lecturer, who was received with applause.
Miss Sarah L. Arnold is graceful and
easy speaker. and spoke for nearly two
hours, holding the close attention of her
audience to the last
The real work of the teacher, she said,
is to tram citizens-little children at
first, but they are to control the munic-
ipality, the state and the nation. The
moral effect of teaching is the one great
thing. Teach children to think, as we'll
as to read. Longfellow's "Village Black
smith," for example, may be made much
more than a reading exercise. The
modern idea is that reality comes before
form. The successful teacher will adapt
herself to tie children, rather than to
aim to adapt them to her way of think
ing. When you take your class out into
the woods to find out what they admire,
find out the line of their thoughts Make
what you are teaching as much of a
reality as possible. Pupils of the manual
and cooking schools become so absor ped
in their work that they forget the pres
ence of others.
The uplifting possibilities of any.school
should never be lost sight of. The m ost
interesting study for a teacher is the
study of children. Professor Burns was
right when ne said that to child every
thing i'll this world would centre around
himself She spoke of the study of bad
pupils made by group of discouraged
teachers and they all found that the
John Smith of one room, the boy whose
absence seemed to make seventh heaven
of the school room, was duplicated in
every other school, and the question
''Shall we keep the bad children with
the rest, or must they be isolated2" was
answered by every teacher as one, in
favor of the retention of the bad boys,
and every one said that the bad'children,
who very likely remained to some degree
bad to the end of the chapter, did, as a
matter of fact, improve while attending
school.
Miss Arnold believes that teachers are
showing higher appreciation of their
work, and they are trying to help the
church and state in oharao ter building,
and she saw favorable indication Of the
good time coming in the fact that others
are becoming in touch with the schools,
that the press is interested in educational
work, and that women are more fire.

Of fresh water was ruined. 1t actually
seemed to ME that the water in our butts
was
SALTER THAN THE SEA
itself For the time we were without
single drop of fresh water on board"
Under such circumstances, knowing
that it would soon be matter of life and
death, Capt. Dodge ordered the cook to
coudense what water he could. and he. did
SO by placing steamer over his kettle.
In that way, drop at time, he secured
enough to keep he men alive. but not
enough to prevent them from suffering
the torture of extreme thirst.
By working day and night they man.
aged to condense enough SO that each
officer and man on board had about half
a tea cup full of fresh water every "a
hours, not enough to keep their lips wet.
1t was, the est that could be done un-
der the circumstances.
"Of course we had plenty to eat,' said
Captain Dodge, ''but the trouble was to
find anything that wouldn't make our
thirst worse. Everything seemed to have
salt in IT'D
Capt. Dodge said that after the second
day, if he ordered man to do anything
he would reply, "Give mo water :"
That cry "Giye me water, followed
him wherever he went. His personal
sufferings were made worse by the fact
hat the men SO constantly appealed to
him to give them what it was just as
much out of his power to obtain as it
was beyond theirs. All he could do was
to order sharp lookout to be kept for a
sail, and to get his flag union down.
The third and fourth day passed in this
way, the suffering of the Grew increasing.
Capt. Dodge seems to have never lost
courage, although the situation was fast
becoming desperate. The little they
could condense had up to that time en-
abled them to keep alive, but it was a
grave question how much longer they
could endure the
HORRORS OF SUCH THIRST,
and not go mad.
With the fifth day, after the men had
been for four days on this piteously
small allowance OF less than half tea
cuptul Of water in "a hours, and when,
as the captain said, their tongues had
become swollen, and their lips parched
and broken,a sail was sighted.
For time they thought that their sig
nal Of distress had not been seen, and
then the stranger came about and they
knew they were saved, and from her
Cant. Dodge obtained enough water to
fill four beef barrels, the best substitute
for water barrels at his command.
Of course had the men been permitted
to take all the water they pleased, they
would have been In danger of killing
themselves, and so it was doled out to
them, but even partial supply was
enough to save them, and it lasted until
more was obtained
Bad luck followed them to the last, for
they made this coast in thick snow
storm, and had last touch of high
winds and generally bad weather off the
harpor, and it was raining when they
locked. Despite the trying experience
through which they passed, all on board
were well, but Capt. Dodge said he was
glad to see Portland again.
Capt. Dodge is resident of South
Portland. He is unm arried, and has for
sometime been regarded as one Of the
best master mariners sailing from this
port. He certainly is entitled to great
credit for the way he met the danger he
encountered In mid-ocean.
