TOLD BY AN OLD PILOT
Strange Premonition Made Him Keep
 to His Course

Men in our line have plenty of queer experiences. said a veteran bar pilot. but I think the strangest that ever fell to my lot happ ned in 1892, right af- ter the great hurricane that swept down the south coast and drowned so many poor fisher folks on the little islands. The storm blew itself away on Sun day." the pilot went on. and neX- Sun day morning. having nothing particu- lar to do. I decided to take our steamer, which was a handy little tWelve-knot craft, and go for a tWO-hOurS run out into the gulf from South Point to see what I could see. The water was still full of driftwoOd and wreckage from the fishermen's cabins. but We noticed nothing in particular until We had been out about an hour. Then one of the men on the boat sighted a big red can buoy over to the sOu'west. It was a government mark that had drifted away from its moorings and he sug SesteG that We go and see where it be- l0nged. Ordinarily I would have said all right, but something-I don't know what or why-made me refuse. 'No. said l, i've won't change. our course. Keep her head straight for an hour more. and maybe we'll see something better than runaway red cans.
 "I had no idea that my words would come true. but in half an hour We came in sight of little raft dead ahead of Us. and as We got nearer we made out what seemed to be a little child on top of it. We ran to within a couple of hundred feet before We stopped, and then we saw that the raft was evident ly the floor of some fishermans cabin. The child was a boy of fourteen or whereabouts, and he was sitting down with his head hanging forward on his breast and his arms stretched out clutching the blanks. He looked for all the world as if he were dead but he was only asleep. and when l rang the bell he strengthened up all of a sudden and glared at the ship like person in a dream. All he had on was d little shirt And while We lowered a small boat and pulled over to him he sat so, staring and saying not a word He had strength enough to climb in but when We reached the ship he tainted.
 "The poor boy had been on that floating floor for seven days and twelve hours continued the pilot. He was the son of a Gascon oysterman who lived on grand isle, and the hurricane had caught him alone in their cabin. It tore the ramshackle hut to pieces and he found himself adrift on the floor. which had hung together. How he lived through the storm is one of those mysteries which can never be explain ed, but he was carried far off the coast and next morning was out of sight of land in the open gulf. Then followed a solid week without food water or shelter of any kind. l have L2en a sea faring man all my life and have known of many wonderful escapes from death on tla q ? waters, but never of any thin" | compare with this The boy hal to lie down on the raft to keep from falling off, and when he grew weak the crawfish bit him until he was q mass f wounds.

 Then sore or ulcer appears on some part of the body; it may be small and harmless looking at first, but as the can cerous cells form and are deposited by the blood near the sore, it increases in size and severity, with sharp shooting pains. No matter how often the sore is removed by the surgeons knife or flesh destroying plasteTs, another comes and is worse. The real disease is in the blood, poisoned blood must be invigorated and purified, and when this is done cancerous cells can no longer form and the sore will heal naturally and permanently.
