off so as to get the boat well on our star
board. In this way we could easily reach
it without the necessity of lowering a boat,
which is always a tedious operation on
board sailing vessels. The man, seeing
that we were coming for him, ceased to
signal, and sat down in the stern, and
with his oar he steered the boat toward
us. We could distinctly see the boats
mast was broken at about three or four
feet above the sailing thwart. When she
was about 800 meters from us, the captain,
who was on the poop asked the mate if
everything was ready, and, on the latter
affirmative reply he gave the order to head
her up a little to starboard. At this mo-
ment the emotion on board the vessel was
intense. The entire crew leaned over the
rail. Then suddenly as If we all had been
aroused from q dream, a man and the
boat turned into block of pumce-stone
on which were several branches of banana
trees. After drifting slowly along the
side of the vessel before the stupefied sail
ors, it vanished out of sight. The men
were so utterly astonished that several of
them could not help crying out But, by
lingo, there was man on it, sure! We
all saw him.
IF the sea had been rough. so that we
could not reach that little floating island,
we would certainly have been convinced
that a fellow creature had been left to
perish.
Nevertheless, our mind was free from
all anterior preoccupation. Notwithstand-
ing the spontaneity of the thing that had
started it, the suggestion was none the
less vivid. Its intensity was as strong in
the mind of the officer as it was in the mind
of each sailor; and this goes to prove that
in the case of a crowd the mental quality
of the individuals that compose it is with
out any Importance
After that, what is anybody to think of
the fantastic news given 10 US about An
dree's balloon? Remember the sugges-
tons of the siege of Paris, the signals seen
at perfectly innocent windows, and~the fu-
rious cavalry charges that the peasants
could see at sunset in the sky.
