IN THE CROWS NEST.
A Grand Outlook Over the Beautiful Ant
arctic Scenery.

A Grand Outlook Over the Beautiful Ant
arctic Scenery.
On Dec. l sighted the edge of the ice
pack from the crows nest and shot my
first seal, which was Of tho white kind, it's
skin being injured by several deep scratch
es. 1t was cold up in the white ousk on the
maintop that morning. Before us were the
icetlelds, with tho strong ice blink i'm the
air above us and as We drew near to tho
edge the snow white petrels became more
and more numerous. They are of the size
of an ordinary pigeon, but much moro
graceful. THOR large eyes are deep black.
ms are also their bold, curved beak and
their elegant wobbod feet They seemed
almost transparent as with spread, quiet
wings they scared in the air about the
crows nest, whore l was hanging on TO
ono end of large telescope heavy enough
TO lift mo i'm scesaw fashion for out of the
nest every time / let IL glide too far out
over the upper edge Of the barrel.
Like the pricking of pins the snow crys-
tails blow against my face, and had con
tinually to dry the telescope glasses with
my wooden mittens, us the vapor from my
breath settled on the lenses in numberless
crystals, and formed an extra sheet of
glass. But they were glorious, those hours
ON the lookout The air was generally
clear, and the human eye could see, even
from the deck, great distances within those
southern ATTITUDES. Only from the crows
nest can one fully appreciate tho super
natural charm of antarctic scenery. Up
there you seom lifted above the pettiness
and troubles Of everyday life Your hori-
Zon is wide, and from your high position
you rule the little world below you. On
ward, onward stretch the iceflelds, the
narrow channels about the ship are opened
and closed again by current and wind, and
as you strain your sight to the utmost to
find the best places for the vessel to pene-
trate, your eyes wander from the ships
bow out toward tho horizon, where foes
ana channels seem to form one dense vast
icefeld. Ice and snow cover spars and
ropes, and everywhere are perfect peace
and silence.
We always observed the white shining
reflection of the icefields in the air, and |
we were thus warned from afar even of
the presence of a narrow stream of ice or |
an iceberg. This ice blink and the pres.
ence of the white petrol never deceived us. |

ONE LAW SUIT AND RUMOR OF
ANOTHER.

When the town of South Portland
widened Mariner street, Mrs. E. j. Pratt
donated forty feet of land to help improve
the street. The town to complete the
work took forty-tive feet hence Mrs. Pratt
has entered suit for damages.
1t has been rumored during the past

entered against the town by Mr.. Hugh
Flynn, constable at Pleasantdale. The
whole matter according to statement
made to the PRESS by one Of the board
of selectmen arises from the fact that
Mr. Flynn presented salary bill of the
town for last years salary. The old board
of selectmen went out Of office without
approving the bill. The present board do
not propose to pay the bill unless it is ap-
proved by the old board whose duty it is

approved bill before it will beipaid.
