CHAPTER III.

81 GIVE MY SHARE TO YOU
Good luck and fair winds followed
our adventures until they reached the
stormy Gulf of California, where an &C.
cident occurred which greatly affected
Toms future plans.
1t was an hour before sunset and the
two passengers were leaning over the
stern watching the water fly swiftly
under the counter, when a loud shout
from aloft attracted their attention.
Looking quickly up they had barely
time to spring aside when heavy block
struck the deck beside them with ter
rife force. \ rope attached to it hit
Toms companion across the chest,
sending him backwards. His heels met
the wheel ropes and the next instant he
struck the water astern and disap-
peared from Toms sight.
1t had all happened so quickly that he
hardly realized what had occurred until
the sailor aloft shouted:
"Man overheard! Man overboard!"
With the promptitude of sailor the
man at the wheel sprang to the rail and
cut adrift the life preserver, which was
always ready for use, and at the same
time the captain rushed on deck and
ordered the ship hove to.
| Then Tom tore off his coat and shoes
and leaped over the rail before the cap
tain could detain him.
Like most Cape Cod boys, he had
learned to swim at an early age, and a
pond in Merrivale had enabled him to
indulge in the exercise in late years, so
that when he came to the surface he
felt no anxiety for himself, although
the vessel was some distance away.
He struck out with all his might in
the direction of the vessels wake, and
soon caught a glimpse of a white face
ahead rising and falling on the waves

so yards away.
There was no reply, and when Ton
was within dozen strokes of his FRIEND
the latter suddenly threw up his arm,
and began to sink.
Tom reached the spot just in time Il
grasp his hair and drag him to the sur
face, where he lay utterly unconsciou!
and unable to assist himself. Tom sup
ported him as best he could, but hi
clothes soon began to drag him down
and his limbs felt like lead. He wa
nearly spent when something whit
swept before his eyes on the top of I
sea. and he saw that it was the life
buoy. With last effort he struck on
and succeeded in grasping it.
In the meantime the Seabird had beer
brought to the wind and boat loweret
with all possible speed, but it is SLOW
operation at best, and the craft was
half mile distant before the boat strucl

Although the buoy supported Ton
easily, he found it no easy task to keel
the unconscious mans head above tn
surface, and when the boat reached
them he was pulled from the water il

: when the vessel was reached he wa
taken to his berth, where the old cap
tain gradually resuscitated him, Ton
having changed his clothes in the mean
time and regained the use of his limbs

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con.
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It ID
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful- It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case il
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi
