relates a strange instance of Fremont
ton which fellow sailor had the night
before the attack on Fort Fisher, in
January, 1865. He says:
eve had on board the Powhatan q
fine young seaman named Flanagan,
who came from Philadelphia. On the
night of the 18th of January he came to
my room with a small box in his hand
and said to me, 'Mr. Evans, will you be
kind enough to take charge of this box
for nett has some little trinkets in it
and give it to my sister in Philadel-

liver it himself, to which he replied, I
am going ashore with you tomorrow
and will be killed l told him how
many bullets 1t required to kill man
in action and in other ways tried to
shake his convictions, but it was no
use-he stuck to 1t. He showed no nerv-
BUSINESS over it, but seemed to regard
1t as a matter Of course. took the box
and, after making proper memoran-
dunn, put it away among my things.
'On the afternoon of the next day
when we were charging the fort and
Just as we came under fire at about
300 yards / saw Flanagan reel out to
one side and drop, the first man hit,
with a bullet through his heart. STEP

were badly hurt. The only reply was
a smile as he looked up into my face
and rolled over dead. The box was de-
livered as he requested"

Very largely the care of the stomach. In

doesn't seem to matter how we treat the
stomach. We abuse it, overwork it, injure
it. We don't suffer from it much But
when age comes the stomach is worn out.

They were guyed and ridiculed, Of
course, but they stood SO firm that the
tender brought off another crew, and
they were relieved from duty. They
were no sooner ashore than they got
the bounce. Trinity board wanted no
old women or children In its service.
The story got into the papers, and the
men were laughing stock for week.
At the end of that time there was an
other gale, and the man and the boat
appeared to the new crew twice in the
same night and drove them ashore, as
they had the old.
A third crew went out, and for two
weeks the weather was fine, and the
board began to prepare to remove the
wrecks. Some progress had been made
when three days gale set in from the
north, and there were more wrecks
than had been known for ten years be-
fore. For two days the lightship hung
to her anchors, though having a signal
of distress out after the first day, but
when the gale abated she had disap-
peared. She had been swept down
channel and out to sea and week lat
er was passed bottom up more than
BOO miles away. The same storm broke
I'D and removed the wrecks, and there
was no longer need of a light at the
spot. Trinity board would have none
of the men back, though there were
eight of them to tell the same grew
some story. but none of them repined
overmuch. They had been driven
ashore by specter, but it had been a
warning to save them from the fate
that took the last quartet.

Gunnlng For Ice Cream.

W. was an apprentice on board the
battleship - and, becoming tired Of the
service, went home when his time was
up, remaining on shore about year. The
old desire to follow the sea returning, he
enlisted at the Brooklyn navy yard, got
sick and was sent to the Vermont. One
scorching hot night at a reception on the
receiving ship the ice cream failed to APP
pear. Orderlies were sent through Brook
Ign searching for some, but all failed to
find so much as pint.
In this predicament w. said he
thought he might be able to get a few
gallons and somehow or other did man
age to do so. The gratitude of the wives
of the officers was so keen that they ex-
erted their combined influence in his be-
half and actually obtained for him a war
rant as gunner. He may not know much
about gunnery, but he did know where to
find ice cream when it was sorely needed.
He rose to the occasion, and it is the
man who does that that gets along
