The sunset-The Shippers Dittg-Echoes of
an Ocean Disaster.
Rounding Cape Cod in giant tug during
a radiant sunset, with all the beauty
and glory OF the scene added to by the
picture Of the bronzed and hearty skipper at
the wheel singing a sea ditty to the music OF
the throb-throb Of the engines below and tho
steady swash and rush OF the rollers against
the side. Ia an experience. once granted to
landsman. not soon to he forgotten. The wind
from the southland signs through the rigging
and bulges the dun-colored sails OF tn big
empty coal barRes in tow lust enough to heel
over the clumsy looking vessels and send the
spray spashing up over the windward rails.
while the tows lumber along. rolling from side
to side like drunken sailors after roaring
night OF fun ashore.
As the sun. u giant bali Of glorious red. In
one last burst OF golden glory drops below
Boston Light. now far astern. its rays shoot
athwart the SKY. painting the white cloud

long. thin lines with beautiful tones of red
orange, gold and purple. 1t seems as though
some gigantic searchght had been focused on
the world and held the sphere in its binding,
dazzling radiance,
As the sun drops away behind the world for
another night and Cape Cod and Race Point
lights blink into view, the skipper. his spirits
bursts into SONG. 1t Ia a musical tale OF
