England town there once lived a wealthy
but illiterate man. who owned many sail
ing vessels and followed their course over
the seas by the aid of an enormous atlas.
A neighbor, who stopped on one occasion
TO see him on a matter of business. was
ushered into the library. where he found
the shipowner. with his spectacles astride
his nose, porting over the atlas. which
was spread open on the table before him.
I'm gla you've come in" said he.
rising to grasp his guests land cordially.
for there's a little point you may be
able to help me about. l We just had a
letter from one of my captains. and he
tells me hat he's been in a storm and
didn't know but the vessel would go TO
pieces.
Hes a we'll educated man, and he
uses first-rate language said the ship
owner proudly. I'm just read you out the
passage from his letter that puzzles me.
He says: The waves rose like noun
tatns, and the storm ragged about US,
while nothing but the vivid lightning
broke the pitchy gloom. But although
death seemed likely to be our portion, we
were saved: driven before the wind, and
put into great jeopardy, but still here L
am, pen in hand
Now, what l want to know is" said
the Ship-owner, as he refolded the sheet
from which he had read the precious
extract and placed it carefully in his
wallet. what 1 want to know is. where
is Great Jeopardy? 1 know it's some
where in the Mediterranean. but 1 ant
seem to find it on this pesky map any
where"
