that old gaby was grinning at my dis

Presently l heard him shuttle in his

with his toothless drawl: "Sa-ay Billy,

CAPTURED BY ANTS.

9toHs OF the Strange aud Unpleasant
experience of an English Vessel.
When a vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with a cargo of .logwood,
everybody on board, from captain down
to cook, rushed frantically ashore, as
though pursued by some unseen enc
my. AS matter Of fact, the vessel
was literally swarming with hordes of
hungry Jamaica ants, says a London
witness.
The little pests had invaded the lock-
ers and dived headlong into the sugar
purrels. After finishing the contents
Of, these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack, anI
ate everything before them, until it
was feared that the stock of provisions
on board would run short. There was
a cessation from their attacks, when the
vessel was caught in West India hur-
ricane, which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re-
nesved energy.
The captain who commands the YES
sci stated that there are millions of the
insects still on board, and ne Thought
that the cargo must have come from the
vicinity of ant hills for which Jamaica
is noted. He stated that the ants were
in all parts of the vessel, and that in ALI
his experience at sea he had never be-
fore met with an attack like the new
corners waged against him. d.:
