officers aboard the British warship
Urgent tell a good story on the big
British cruiser Talbot. While on her
way from Havana while ago, at night,
in the Bahama channel, a shot was
fred across her bow.
Captain Gamble paid no attention to
1t, but when second came whistlng
across his bow. he brought his ship
to quick stop. 1t was hard for him
to distinguish the other vessel in the
darkness, SO he waited patiently as 1t
bore down on him.
who are you?" voice from the
darkness demanded.
Who are you?" answered the cap
tain of the Talbot.
This is the United States ship Ley
den" returned the American captain.
Never heard of such vessel. What
do you want?"
Il want to know who you are and
what you are doing here"
"Oh,' shouted Gamble; this is her
Britannia majesty's cruiser Talbot. Is
there anything we can do for you?"
No"
well, l suppose you are satisfied.
Are you going to fire any more guns at
u.s."
NO"
The two vessels parted, and the cap
tain of the English vessel went down
to his cabin to look up the Leyden, and
learn what class of vessel she was. He
came back upon the bridge the most
astonished Englishman ever seen. He
leaned over to his first lieutenant and
said:
do you know what class of vessel
the Leyden is?'
The first lieutenant did not, and said
so.
We'll, she is dinky little tugboat
with one little gun; that's ALL" shout
ed the captain. What nerve for her
to shoot across the bow of British
warship."

AROUND THE WORLD
CAPTAIN sLocUM IN A THIRTY FOOT
BOAT boss THE FEAT. /

Starting From Boston in April. 1895 HI
Returns in July the following YeAr--Had
Sailed in Ships a Quarter of q Century,
in All Probably 10000 Miles.
Flying the Stars and Stripes, the
Spray, Captain Joshua Slocum's thirty
foot lugger rugged craft. arrived In
Newport Harbor early one July morn
ing, 1898, after trip around the
world. She was seventeen days from
Antigua, West Indios, and intended to
make New York as The first home port,
but off Fire Island she encountered a
thunder storm which forced her into
Newport.
Captain Slocum, alone in his boat,
left Boston on April "a, 1895, and since
he has sailed the world over. The
Spray is a twelve-ton boat, thirty feet
long. To secure seagoing qualities she
has considerable breadth Of beam.
Captain Slocum says his trip has no
equal in history.
On sailing from Boston the Spray
touched at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia,
then Horta and Fayal. reaching Glib
raltar In Twenty-Five days from Cape
Sable. The Atlantic was then recross-
ed to Brazil. thence to the Pacific,
touching the principal ports or the
way. Crossing the Pacific. Captain
Slocum went to Juan Fernandez. where
he visited the cave of Robinson CRU
soc, Samoa. Melbourne, New South
Wales. Tasmania and thence through
the Torney Straits to the East Indies
was then his course, thence to kodri-
guez, Martinique. and Natal and Cape
Town. South Africa.
Christmas off the Cape Of Good Hope
was passed in blow that nearly tore
the Spray to pieces. Captain Slocum
was entertained by the Cape Town
Railroad Company. In Pretoria while
the guest Of President Kruger, Cap
tain Slocum learned of the blowing up
OF the Maine.
The Spray left Cape Town March
rs last. going to St. Helena and AS
censiOn. He reached Grenada on June
2 last. OFF the coast Of Brazil, near
the mouth of tho Amazon, Captain
Slocum sighted the Oregon going north
with rush
Captain Slocum undertook the trip
through love Of adventure He is fif-
ty-five years old and returned in per-
feet health. His method was to run
at night and sleep during the day, that
the Spray might be seen and avoided.
He never met an accident.
Captain Slocum hailed from Glon-
cester, Mass. and has sailed out OF
Boston and New York for a quarter of
a century. He estimates that he has
navigated $4,000 miles of seas. In the
rocker keeled boat, the Liberdale, with
his wife and two sons, Captain Slocum
a few years ago rounded the Horn.
