"Mr. Smith will take charge of the
boat"
The mate, with look at the skip
per, climbed into the boat as she hung
in the davits. The skipper then called
the names of the crew he proposed to
send in her, sending first the sailors,
SO that the mate might place each in
his proper station in the boat, before
the firemen, ETC., who would be of no
use in the critical maneuvers of get
ting her away from the ships side,
crowded her up. But these same fire.
men did not understand his reason
and thought he was showing undue
preference to his own men, and,
heavier sea than usual striking the
steamer, there was cry of: She's
going down, and he's sending the sail
ors first!" and rush for the boat.
STAND back!" cried the skipper.
Crack! and the leading fireman
spread out his hands and pitched on
to his face, rolling in a limp bundle
down on to the lee rail. The rest of the
men stopped. They might as well be
drowned as shot, they thought, and
they huddled together, looking with
Mortified chances at their dead COM
rade. The skipper paused, lowered his
revolver, and then called the next
name; they had learned their lesson,
and went quietly to the boat, which
was got safely away, and drifted out of
sight in the mist of the gale.
The other boat was filled without
any mishap, and the skipper, the only
man left on the deck, lowered her; she
also got clear away, and drifted out to
the full length of her painter. The
skipper walked aft to wait for them to
haul up again. He had to pass the body
of the dead man, and he did not look at
it. The boat was hauling up on the
painter, and was getting close; the
skipper got on the rail ready to jump.
At that moment fireman, the brother
of the man he had shot, reached over
the boats bow, and. with a cry of
"Blast you, stop and drown with Bill"
cut the painter.
The distance between the ship and
the boat began to widen instantly, and
in spite of the frantic efforts of the
sailors at the oars the deeply laden
boat was swept away and blotted out
in the mist. The skipper got down
from the rails, and made his way back
TO the bridge deck. He had just ten
minutes to live. Ten minutes to pre-
pare for the next world, after 40 years
at sea!
He climbed up on the bridge again,

"never mind! Perhaps some day you

! The following comment OF the
Denver Hesald on the county
printing ques,ion hits @the nail
s1uareli on the bead and hits it
hard. The TRIBUNE endorses
every line Of it, because the views
expressed are reasonable and SEN
sible and ought to be convincing
10 any man. When county COM
|missioners become afflicted with .
spasm OF economy, the newspapers
are generally the first to suffer.
The newspaper proprietors are
themselves much to blame for the
fact that there;is usually an annual
fight over the awarding Of the
county printing contract, some
newspaper proprietors being 50
fond Of working for glory that they
will do the county printing for
nothing rather than see some rival
secure it. lf%hc publishers stand
pat and demand the legal rates,
which they are justly entitled to as
much as any county official is en-
titled to the salary he draws, it
would be infinitely better in the
long run for every one concerned.
The Herald's comment is as fol-
lows:
We notice that the county com
missioners are advertising for bids
for the county printing for the
next year and asks that they be
sent by the 18TH. Now this is all
wrong. The laws OF the state al
low a certain price TO be charged
for legal advertising and why
should newspapers be compelled
to submit bids in order to get it.
Why not ask candidates for Office to
send in their bids 10 fill Offices and
award it to the lowest bidder9 An
officers salary is regulated by law,
and we have never yet heard OF any
one offering to perform the duties
OF any Office for less than the full
price allowed, in order to get the
place.
In the case of advertising, the
papers get into a fight among
themselves and put in bids below
the price of composition in order
to get it, and the people regard it
as stroke OF sharp business. On
the other hand the newspapers are
called upon every week to ''whoop
it' up lively for something to
bring people into the country
which does not benefit the paper
one dollars worth. And the peo-
pie want it done for nothing. Let
our officials select their county
paper the same as they select their
clerk's-politically. Give il what
the law allows. and in due time
everybody will say albright. Whv
should newspaper furnish city,
county or state advertising for
nothing any more than the grocery
man should supplies for the coun-
ty poora
