CHAPTER XIII.
An Incident

By the time we had been a month
at sea, having applied myself assidu-
ously to work, l picked up a little
knowledge Of seamanship. l took my
turn of watch with the rest; | learned
to go aloft and to lie upon a yard in
a stiff topgallant breeze. l acquired all
the mysteries of knotting and splicing,
of serving a rope with spun-yarn,an to
know the technical difference between
the rope itself and a line. l could
heave the log, box the compass and take
my trick" at the helm with the best
man on board, and thus gained the
golden opinions of those among whom
a rough turn of the wheel of fortune
had so strangely and so suddenly cast
me.
Some days after leaving the Cana
ries we found ourselves passing
through what seemed to be immense
meadows of green stuff adrift. By
moonlight the branches, leaves and
fbers of this ~uprooted marine forest
for such it was, being Wrack and sea-
weeds of wondrous length springing
from the lowest depths of the OCEAN
sparkled, flashed and whirled in the
foaming eddies astern of the brig as
she cleft or brushed down the yielding
masses with her rushing keel.
| was never weary of surveying this
scene, which was so marvellous in its
beauty, when the moon was shining on
the sea.
These vast, broad leaves and long,
snaky tendrils that danced upon tbs
surface of the sea were the Florida
gulf-weed.
"The tropical grape of the sailors"
said Hislop, as We leaned over the lee
quarter one night. "These plants grow
upon the two great banks OF the At
lantic, and were known to the Phoe-
n~icians, who named them the Weedy
Sea-"
81 remember" said I; land that the
seamen of Columbus thought they
were sent by heaven to stay their
course"
"You are right" replied the mate
with an approving smile. ut is pleas,
ant to meet one like you, Rodney, who
has read that which is worth reading
and remembers it,"
"The Gulf Stream" said Weston
joining in the conversation, "is a grear
current about sixty miles broad
caused by the trade winds, which al
ways blow from east to west. 1t is
sues from the Gulf between Cape Flor
ida and Cuba, and runs at the rate o
three knots an hour along the shores
of South and North America, till thu
Newfoundland bank turns it to TIL
southeast; so everywhere its track i
known by that gulf-weed which yol
now see floating past"
1t is by this mysterious current
this mighty river that traverses tn
o~cean-that the timber logs Of the 8.
Lawrence, the wrecks of the old plat
~argosies, and the carved idols Of olde
Mexico and the Caribbean Isles, al
covered with the weeds and barnacle
of long immersion, have been cas-
upon the western shores of Scotlan
and the Hebrides.

CHAPTER XII.
The Anchor A-Peak.

Alarmed by the foregoing narrative,
which was fully ~corroborated by Jul
excitement, by the two muskets we
had brought on board as trophies, by
the state of our hands and wrists, and
the numerous cuts and bruis,s we had
upon us; and fearing the consequent
detention Of the brig for some legal in
CURRY, Captain Weston prepared at
once for putting to sea.
I was happy when finding myself on
the deck Of the Eugene, but still more
supremely happy on hearing Weston's
resolution to get underway, as l pos
sessed very vague but decidedly I'M
pleasant ideas of Spanish justice, and
had visions of ~alcaldes, alguazils,
wheels, garrotes, and even the masked
familiars of the Inquisition itself,
9oating before me.
NY heart beat responsive to the clank
of the windlass pawls, as the Eugene
Esss .yvfe short on her anchor, and the
nsA1s starred aloft to cast loose the
topsails.
Weston threw Our two muskets into
the sea lest their discovery on board
might cause suspicion or annoyance.
The morning was clear, cool and
starry; as yet no vestige of dawn was
visible. asaa all was still and quiet on
shore; but ! was in momentary expec-
tation of seeing q boat dash OFF toward
us, though thosa from whom we had
escaped could have no just cause OF
complaint.
Suddenly l heard the sound of oars,
and saw a long, low boat shoot out
from the obscurity Of the harbor. My
heart stood still for a moment as this
craft was steered in u direction, but
to my infinite relief it boarded a Costa

So Weston gave the order to brace

and the anchor was tripped.
"Heave and a-wash!" cried Ton
~Lambourne, cheerily, giving the usua
call of encouragement when the drip

and the stock is seen to stir the sur

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

The last bulletin of the United States
department. of labor makes interesting
reading. 1t tells, among other things,
of Al large industrial establishments,
some of which are classed as trusts,
where constant attention is given to the
problem of aiding the workmen in the
best way to improve their condition.
These companies are eXerting themselves
to bring to their employees a greater de-
gree of comfort, and are furnishing the
means by which the workmen may ad-
vance socially and Intellectually. Some
of these means are clubs, libraries, lec-
ture courses, etc, while attention is paid
to the sanitary surroundings where the
men live. So general has this movement
become that some of the current maga-
zines devote considerable space to it,
and the results seem to be very salts

perhaps, a closer relation between cap
ital and labor, or between the employer
/ and employe, than has existed hereto

are, in the end, profitable to both sides
and it is believed that through it the
employe will ultima tely come to enjoy
larger share of the profits of his own

AMAPA BoU NDARY AWARD.

The press dispatches announce the set

The question submitted to arbitra ton
involved a territory OF 10000 square
miles bounded by the Oyapok river and
the Tumac- -Humac mountains on the
north, the Atlantic on the northeast, the
Branco river on the west and the Ara

m.tted that substantial justice was done
III tile award nate.
The quarrel is two centuries old. and
possesses many elements of romance.
Away back in the seventeenth century,
France and Portugal had a dispute over
the possession of the north bank of the
Amazon, and in 1858 Portugal established
fortifications there. Ten years later the
French. under the governor of Cayenne,
destroyed the forts, but a year later
found the Portuguese again in possess
sion of new forts. Under the treaty of
Utrecht, in 1,1S, France abandoned its
claim to the left bank of the river and
assented to the establishment of q
guese territory there the river Vincent-
Pincon to be designated. the former
identifying this river with the Araguay.
Portugal protested that the Vincent
Pincon and Oyapok rivers We're the
same, and there the dispute rested.
In 1915, the treaties restored to Francs
the colony of Guiana, which had been
occupied by the Portuguese for several
years, and a mixed commission was
chosen to investigate the boundary ques-
ton. but the body could never be got
together, and in 1885 France established
a military post in the disputed territory,
only to eyacuate it four years later,
when Brazil, which had by this time in
1ieritel Portugal's claim, agreed to let
the matter stand. At length, however,
in 1860, Brazil disregard.ng the conven-
ton, annexed the finest part of the con-
tested land. In 1887, it will be remem-

and the French residents ever since, and
