The fish was caught thirty-fve miles

the party an exciting chase, towing

Mr.. Wise and party Of friends

A Quick-vvitted swede.


An Ordnance Sergeant stationed at
one OF the Pacific coast artillery posts
went suddenly insane o few years ago.
His mind had been disturbed for some
time by the hard-heartedness Of a
young woman who declined to marry
him. On the day that his wits went
completely awry he made for the
magazines with tho intention, as he
quietly announced to young Swedish
recruit whom he met on the way, Of
blowing them up. The Swede's eyes
stuck out at this, but he was one Of
the tribe OF quick thinkers.

said he to the crazy Ordnance Ser
geant, whose eyes cleaned with an
sanity.
The Sergeant made no response,
and the Swedish recruit walked after
him. The Sergeant opened the door
OF one OF the main magazines, that
held many thousands Of pounds of
black smooth-bore powder, and start.
ed TO break out big box Of it. The
Swede saw that the crazy man actually
intended TO blow up the magazine.
When he was convinced OF this he
picked up q shellbar, waited for the
insane man to turn his back and
banged him over the head with II.
Then he carried the crazy Ordnance
Sergeant on his back to the guard.

Rescued the Cadet,

An engineer cadet, who is now an
assistant engineer on one of the
cruisers in Cuban waters, went ashore
in Honolulu to weigh coal for his ship
one morning about five years ago. When
he returned aboard for luncheon all
hands were at mess. except loutish,
moon faced landsman, O former farm
hand from interior California, who had
been the butt of his mates as an inno-
cent of the rawest kind. This lands
man had bolted his dinner and was
leaning over the starboard rail, look
ing no more stupid or inert than he
generally did. A big coal lighter was
moored alongside the ship, and the
cadet in order TO get aboard ship had
to climb from the steam launch that
brought him off onto the lighter, and
then pull himself up on the fixed iron
gangway ladder to the gangway.
There was space of about two feet
between the coal lighter and the ship.
Into this space the cadet, missing his
hold when he attempted to clutch the
ladder, fell, feet foremost, with
splash. The crew Of the steam launch
heard the splash, but did not know
what had caused it. It was about
100 to against the cadets saw
ing his life by his own efforts, for
when he came up his head was due to
bump against the bottom Of the lighter,
and It is hard proposition even for
good swimmer to keep his nerve nm
der such circumstances. The cadet
didn't keep his nerve, and he surely
would have been goner had II not
been for the loutish landsman leaning
over the starboard rail. The loutish
landsman proved TO be the right man.
He did not even kick off his Govern
ment brogans before he let himself
fall into the space between the lighter
and the ship at the exact point where
the cadet had gone done. The crew
OF the steam launch saw this move
and wondered what it meant. They
did not know the cadet was under
meath the lighter. In about half
minute the moon-faced landsman came
from beneath the lighter, and he had
the cadet along with him. The cadet,
his nerve gone, was very wild, and
clutched the landsman fiercely. The
landsman freed his right arm from the
grasp of the struggling cadetand gave
him q jolt on the point Of the jaw
with his big right fist that the cadet
declares he feels yet. The blow put
the cadet out Of the game altogether,
but it saved his life. He would have
pulled his rescuer down with him had
he not been knocked silly, and this
was one of the times whenIan enlisted
man struck an officer without being
punished for it. The landsman and
the cadet were hauled into the steam
launch by the Grew, and the ships
company proceeded t, hunt up an
other butt for their humor. The
landsman wasn't made to
serve in that capacity any longer,

DEEDS ON LAND AND SEA.

Fighting with whaIes-Ths Experience
OF Captain Hose or Hntteras-secret
ola Missionary's Observation-Disclosures
by . Rattler-The Cadets Rescue.
Captain Antoine Rose, Of the whaling
schooner Joseph A. Mania, has arrived
ct Provincetown, Mass, his home,
having been obliged to leave his vessel
on account Of sickness, the result OF
exposure while fighting whale.
The schooner reached the. Hatteras
whaling grounds on April "a, and the
next day, soon after daylight, the man
in the crows nest at the mainmast
head raised whales, and in FIVE
minutes the boats were away to the
chase. The irons were soon to the
hilt in a lively young twenty-five
barrel whale.
After a few moments tussle the fish
started to sound, taking the line over
the bow at racehorse speed, making
things smoke in the chocks. Suddenly
the line kinked, and in the twinkling
OF an eye the remainder OF the rail
was out Of the tub, catching with
snap for an instant on the stem of the
boat, just long enough to tear it out
and wreck the boat. The boat
steerer's knife flashed in the air, and
the monster was free, taking the line
with him.
All attention of the crew was turned
to the boat, which was quickly filling,
and it Yves quick work to save their
own lives. The mast and the six oars
were dashed across the gunwales to
keep her from capsizing, and she
slowly began to settle. Higher and
higher rose the water, until it reached
to the shoulders OF the men as they
stood on the seats.
There they stood four long hours,
balancing on their precarious foot
hold, hanging to life by q thread,
until their vessel could be worked up
to them from her distant position on
the horizon.
When rescued some Of the men
were nearly dead. One poor fellow
was unconscious, and it required an
hour OF hard work and quantities OF
hot coffee to bring him back to life.
The next day, nothing daunted by
their rough experience, the, boats were
away again in the chase, and soon had
a monster as long as the vessel spout.
ing his life blood. At 8 o'clock that
afternoon their prize was safely
moored head and stern alongside the
little schooner, and the work of get
ting her out Of the rough waters Of
the Gulf stream began.
They worked steadily until 5o'clock
the next morning, but their efforts
were unavailing, as heavy gale had
sprung up and was blowing with
hurricane force. Banks and schooners
could be seen on all sides lying hove
to under bare poles.
In order to save the vessel Captain
Rose was obliged to cut the warps and |
let the eighty-barrel prize, worth
fully $4,000, drift away. The long ex.
posure in the cold water and hard
work aggravated an old strain, On d
Captain Rose began TO grow sick and
was obliged to work the vessel in to-
ward the land for assistance.
Sighting tug off Long Island, the
captain took passage for land, and
sent his'vessel to sea again in charge |
Of his first officer, and has spent the
last five weeks in the New Bedford |
Hospital.
