Nursed His RAJ

He was a Bath boy, who, when 10 or
Ia years old, went to sea as cook ON q
fishing schooner. One morning he had
the misfortune to burn some mackerel
which he was frying, and the captain
was so ansered at this failure of his
breakfast that he took one of the burned
fish from the platter aud slung it across
the table into the boy cooks face.
The boy nursed his wrath until with
full fare the fisher boat was tied to her
pier in the home dock, when he packed
his kit. went ashore, and from the
wharf made this little speech to the
captain;
"Cap'n, you've insulted and abused
me ON this trip, and sure as I'm alive,
when 1 grow up to be q man, I'll lay
for you and lick you if I'm ablel"
Years rolled on, and the boy cook be-
came master of n ship and could thrash
almost any man Of his inches and
weight. In Portland one day he was
passing by the Falmouth hotel when he
encountered. face to face, his former
Grand Banks captain and accosted him
