CHAPTER XVII.
THE LANDING.

1t was a dark night, with stiff
southwest wind dashing mighty waves
against the headland Of Montauk, where
the Indians, in accordance with 6
treaty, now kept beacons burning al
night, for the guidance Of ships making
their way to the waters Of the Sound.
The Wanderer had been out Of sight
OF land for four days, when the lookout.
mp near the masthead, shouted out:
"A light on the starboard bowl"
Through the rain and the spray blown
from the caps OF waves by the fierce
midsummer storm, Captain Fox made
out the light, and at once took his place
beside the men at the wheel, for, though
under nearly bare poles, the little
canvas out being close-reeted, the Wan
derer was leaping across the waves like
q race horse under the spurs OF des-
perate rider.
High above the wind that whistled
and shrieked through the rigging, louder
than the Groaning OF the spars and the
mad dash OF the waves, rang out the
trumpet-like voice Of Captain Fox.
In anticipation of danger every man
was on deck, and as quick as the orders
were given they were shouted out By
the officers along the deck, and the men
repeated them as they sprang to obey.
There was not light visible on the
Wanderer, and, save the Pickering
pleam, which the storm threatened tC
extinguish, on the distant headland, the
world was enveioped in darkness that
could be felt.
On dashed the cruiser, till the beacon
was well down on the left, now larboard
and lee.
AS she rounded the point flash OF
lightning, that made Fox utter horri-
bic oath, lit up the bay to the westward,
showing that the headland broke the
force OF the wind and left tie water
comparatively calm.
Just as the beacon on MCntauk Point.
was fading from view, another light
flashed close down to the shore and not
more than mile ahead.
At the Captains order, every stitch
OF sail went down with run, and be-
fore the trea" herous tide could seize
the ship, the command to let 20 both
anchors was given.
Then followed dash, and q roaring
noise, aud squirt of flame where the
fying cables ignited the woodwork, and
the Wanderer swung round with her
head to the wind.
That was an easier job than I ex-
Pected, sir, said a dripping officer, COM
ing back to where the captain was
standing.
3 Tut" replied Fox, the man that
couldn't do as I have, isn't fit to com
mand Yarmouth bloater smack. See
that everything is made snug, and the
watch set, then come below. We have
other work before us tonight. --

going to row him ashore, then called
six men by name, aud led them into the
cabin.
These six men entered the room where
Ralph Denham was lying, their sleeves
pulled up as men sometimes think II
necessary to have them when they are
about to lit considerable load.
Pick up the frame, bed and all, and
see that you don't drop it as you value
your lives, said the captain. sternly.
The men looked at each other in sur.
prise, and then at the sleeping man op
the bed, and began their task.
For six ordinary men, the bed with it's
occupant would not have been burden
to the six giants who carried Captain
Denham to the dock. the load did not
seem so heavy as their own wet gar
ments.
They placed the bed in the stern
sheos, over which ar awning had been
spread. The officers, Don, and the men
who were to row, now took their places.
Lower away there!" shouted Fox.
There was q whirr Of ropes, crack
ing OF blocks, and the men on dock let
the boat down from the davits.
The hooks were slipped out, the sjY
oars caught the water as if they had al
been driven by one hand.
Capt. Fox had the tiller, and under
his guidance the boat shot over the
black waters towards the light which
momentarily flashed up or was extin-
guished as the gig rose and fell in the
trough of the sea.

POINTS FOR

Don't keep more horses than you
need.
The offspring from a mature sow is
stronger than from a young one.
Swine need bulk in their feed.
Don't feed on concentrated foods alone.
Pork is one of the very best of meats
II swine are properly fed and cared
for
The selection and steady use OF the
best of ever common scrub stock viii
lead to improvement.
Sows eat their pigs because their sys-
tens are out of condition, the result of
improper feeding and bad management.
1t is dangerous to inbred swine. II
there are family defects they will APP
pear in the offspring in an exaggerated
form.
On the whole, the horses would be
better off, and so would the n if
the w~hip-making industry were abol-
isEed.
There is too much talk and not enough
action in the matter of reviving in
terest in the Morgan horse. The Nor
gan will revive itself if given half a
chance.
Sell half the scrub herd. if necessary,
and buy a thoroughbred bull. If cattle
must rough it take the Hereford, Polled
