this trip made a solemn VOW never to
be caught mapping again; he was de-
termined to balk the officers by ma
neuvering his vessel SO as to prevent
their approaching within the neces-
sary distance. On this occasion he
had worked his sturdy little round
bowed ''pinkey," without mishap, to a
certain point in the Gut of Canso, when
just at dark the wind failed him en-
tirely, and he was obliged to anchor
in a position which, as he well knew,
exposed him to visit from one of the
detested government boats. Being so
far advanced into that moisture-laden
CLINE. it is but reasonable to surmise
that he had taken his usual method Of
clearing the cobwebs from his eyes;
and on this particular night, with the
laudable design Of frustrating any visit
from the greedy hirelings of her
Brittanic majesty, he doubtless deemed
it expedient to sharpen his vision by
an extra dose or two of the well-known
prescription. Fully realizing the dan
ger of his present ancorage, he de-
cided to keep strict watch on deck him
self, and to get under way again the
instant there was breeze enough to
warrant it.

'Do you mean that as complimenr
for women or as an insult TO her?" she
inquired.
