garet Bruce determined that An
gus should never venture more in an
open boat to sea, SO she purchased for
young Angus s'"fhe Clara Belle" two
masted schooner that had piled the
waters OF che ner and coast for several
seasons, carry ing che planters products
to market, bringing them supplies, and
coasting from Newbern and Beaufort to
Charleston harbor
The lad had on the deck of his craft
eight good stout men, and in the galley
a cook, who was his property.
He had always been as punctual and
reliable as the sun, and lacked not for
all that he could do; he was making

This was the Angus Bruce and this
the craft that Abner Hill looked for the
Wednesday succeeding the Sunday on
which John Lloyd was at orion. to
freight his turpentine to Wilmington,
and Fannie, Herbert and Clara were to
take passage in its ample cabin.
The Clara Belle passed into the mouth
of Orion creek on Tuesday night, and

the hold.
Corbett appeared at the house at
eight o'clock Wednesday morning and
found the squire seated on the piazza
smoking his early pipe.
Squire, the Clara Belle is loaded, and
Angus starts for Wilmington on the
food tide at ten o'clock
Very good, Corbett. Angus never
fails us. Did you tell him of his pas
sengers?"
Eyes, squire, I told him"
very well, they'll be aboard at ten"
Promptly at ten the schooner swung
from the wharf and passed out into
the river. Herbert and the two girls
were standing on the after deck. The
tide was bearing up the river, and the
wind was favorable. So, with her can

Belle soon left Orion far behind

Alaska, our remarkable outlying ter

entire United States east of the Missis-

Naturalists consider it a wonderful
fact that the Bermuda islands have
only seven native species of land birds,
while no less than 1913 species pay visits
to the islands. Many of these visitors
are birds which pass the summer in the

islands as a convenient winter resort,
thus initiating some of their human
compatriots. Even some American
bats follow the example of the birds by
wintering in the Bermudas.

She Missed Him.

A poor woman who kept shop in north

husband who could scarcely be considered a
widow through the sudden demise of her her
spouse. A lady, who frequently made
small purchases at the shop, called to see her
and to offer her sympathy, though knowing
that the mans death must in a certain sense
come as relief, as the wife had often suf-
fered from his violence. She was moi. how.

which the wife took her bereavement.
