large canvass.

were sold at SO cents each. The re-

to look after the barbecue, and the gen.
eral entertainment of the people. The

FROLIC OF A TORPEDO BOAT.
singular Misfortune OF One of Our
Fleet In the Attack on
Havana.

In the earlier days Of the war, while
the excitement of the new condition
of affairs was still at its height, the
commanders of the different craft en-
gagCd in the blockade Of Havana were
restless under the mouotony Of their
duties. and sometimes did things that
were not ordered by the commandments
chief. So writes n naval correspondent
of the Companion, and lie proceeds to
narrate a pretty lively adventure as a
case in point.
One particularly dark night the cap
tain of a torpedo boat decided TO take
advantage of the darkness and run well
in toward the Moro. With all lights
doused. the boat steamed slowly TO-
ward the entrance of the harbor until
her crew could hear plainly the surf
breaking on the rocks under the "cas-
tie" While the boat rolled laZily in
the swell. the officers tried TO make out
the guns and the Notifications at the
harbor mouth.
Suddenly, as the boat gave a heavy
roll, the switch which turned on the
private light signal was moved. and a
blaze Of red and white lights illu-
minated the entire boat. Everyone
made a dash to break the connection.
In the rush the colored cock managed
TO roll overheard. and as he went over
the side he grabbed at everything
handy. Among the things he took
hold Of, unfortunately, was the whistle
rope.
If the boat had been laundering,
nothing more could have been done TO
attract attention. The big s~earchlight
IN the MORO twitched around in an
uncertain name and turned slowly
toward the boat. Before il reached
them the people on the torpedo boat
managed to turn off the signal; the
%spasmodic shrieking of the whistle
stopped when the cook was hauled
aboard, and the boat escaped in the
darkness without O shot being fired at
her.
The next time his boat went in, the
captain took in his private night sig
lal and the cook had orders to stay in
he gallery.-Youth's Companion
