ship was making 10 knots. Schley took
the two captive monkeys and carefully
creased their tails then with a savage
whoop at them struck both with rope $

weather rigging and made wild leap
for the lower studding sail sheet, which
was over the water and 30 feet from the
ships side. Swish went the tails around
the quivering sheet. Alas, the tails
slipped, and two sons of Africa went
shrieking into the sea. The Japs ran
screaming from their cabins but the Of

could not be put about or her sail short

failed to afford any relief. A
friend who knew what was needed
procured him a bottle of Chamber

cured him and he thinks, saved
his life. He says that there has
not been a day since that time
that he has not bad this remedy
