MY SHIP.

7 am waiting for my ship to come and
bring its burden home;
Laden deep she cleaves the waters, from
her bow she filings the foam.
Meath her matches bales Of riches, fruit
age Of the years, repose,
All her canvas, bellying outward with each
perfumed breeze that blows,
Sends her plunging, dipping forward TIL
the spendthrift of the sea
In bright jewels decks her ccrdage, decks
her pennant flying free,
And my eyes grown dim with waiting
watch the far horizons line
For her snowy perfumed pinions TO appear
above the brine
And she's coming, coming, coming; hear
her timbers ereak and groan,
AS she surges thro' the pillows swiftly
bringing me my own;
Hear her cordage taut and singing as her
shadow thrown afar
Limns upon my errant fancy ev'ry graceful
line and spar;
Always just beyond the harbor ! can see
her rise and fall
See her lights CLEAN thro the darkness,
hear her merry seamen call,
Hear them throw aside the matches, break
the cargo from her hold,
Send her anchors plunging downward, reef
her canvas fold on fold.
Long she's been upon her voyage; thro'
the fogs of discomfort
| have strained my aching vision, and my
listening ears have bent
For the screaming Of her siren as she
battled thro' the murk,
And, although ! may not see her, faint
hear her engines work
She may never win the harbor, / may
watch and wait in vain,
Meier may see her walk In beauty Ger life's
stormy, tumbling main,
From her depths / may not gather full
frution Of my hopes,
Ne'er may see the sunset glisten on her
spray bedzened ropes;
may never bask in plenty on the products
OF her trip,
And the trimming beaker Of success may
never kiss my lip,
Yet / hold our natures nodded by the
hopes we entertain,
And were judged not by our failures, but
the mark at which we aim;
Hopes may fail of their fruition, we may
falter on the way,
And our ship may gore her timbers where
temptations beacons play,
But II we've hoped for better things and
honestly have striven
Thro the dangers Of her voyage she viii
some day win the haven.

A LAKE PILOTS LEG.
How IL solved the Mystery of the
Wreck Of the steam Propeller
susan 4. Peck.

I'VE are never amazed when vessels
20 aground and are wrecked on Lake
Erie during the gales that are com
mon on that treacherous water, for We
expect such things then" said a lake
skipper, but when one is grounded
on "a clear day and wrecked, on course
as clear as the day and in the hands OF
pilot that knows the ground like a
book. we naturally wonder little and
want TO know the Why's and yherefores.
Such was the case Of the propeller su-
san T. Peck, that went aground near
Bar Point and was lost with a 5000
cargo.
The captain of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds Of times
between Point Pelee and Bar Point and
in all kinds OF weather, and this time
he had a wheelman who was known
from one end OF the lake to the other
a. one Of the most expert navigators
in the lake business. He had been "
ing up long time for the very good
reason that owing to an accident 10
one Of his legs that leg had 10 be ampu-
tsted to save his life. The lost mem
Der was replaced by an artificial leg
and then the pilot was ready 10 take
his post at the wheel again. His hrst
service after his misfortune was this
trip of the Susan +. Peck, and he ran
her aground.
THE puzzle 10 everybody was how
IL was possible for the propeller.
handled by a man of such skill and ex-
perience. on straight course only 40
miles long and with every sailing con
dition favorable, 10 leave her course.
The pilot was the most puzzled and
astounded person Of all. He soon got
another vessel, and this one he ran in
such an giraffe manner, but fortunate
~ with no disastrous result, that he
was compelled 10 give her up, and his
usefulness as a pilot was gone. He and
others went 10 investigating to see II
they could discover what was wrong
with his seamanship After awhile
they discovered what they believed was
the trouble. In the pilots artificial leg
a great deal of steel had been used in
the joints and other places. Sitting
close TO the pinnacle, as he did while
steering, this steel deranged the com
pass so that il threw the wheelman
way of his reckoning and led to the
wrong plotting that had wrecked the
Susan f. Peek and endangered the
other vessel that the wheelman navi-
gated subsequently,. This was what
they argued, and TO demonstrate the
correctness Of the theory the pilot took
charge Of vessel without wearing his
false leg. Everything worked to a
charm. The mystery Of the Susan +.
Peck was solved and the pilot was re-
stored to his old place in the confidence
of Lake Erie shippers and vessel own
ers."-N. Y. Sun.
