a moment he came out on the other side
and we could see that his whaleship was
covered with barnacles. Once he came up
within ten feet Of the side and turned
over like big sea kitten. 1 think he
must have thought IIe could have a

The Voyage OF The coRDEL1a 4EsLD

Suddenly the Cordelia gave an awful lurch
to leeward, there was a rumbling, rackety
sound, and something shot down the
hatchway.
1T was Moseley, and he never moved
from the floor where he struck He was
conscious, poor lad, but he sailed no
farther with the crew of the CordeIia
Platt was as tender as a woman with
him, but he only lived a few minutes. 1
rushed up to the deck to man the wheel
and I found that the main boom had
swung around and struck the poor boy
and knocked him down the stairway. The
awful blow fractured his skull He died
doing his duty as a soldier should, for he
had served in the United States army in
the Philippines and had a good record.
That was a solemn thing when we gave
the poor boys body to the sea and all
that therein is

said prayer and then we both turned
our heads away as Platt let the canvas
shrouded body slip into the green curling
waves.

and one of US often had to work sixteen
hours a day. Sometimes in the omen sea
L was so fatigued that 1 would come near
dropping at the wheel. Sometimes we
would just lash the wheel and let the
Cordelia go before the wind and take care
OF herself while slept And when we
did sleep we slept without inquiring what
became of the Cordelia, or how many bells
had just struck. And we always came
out right, though we had some pretty
close shaves. After the death of Moselev
we decided to go on any try to reach our
destination and see whether landsrnen
could run boat or not After a long
time, in which we saw neither land nor
lights, we arrived off the mouth of the
klamath River on October 10. And that
was the hardest pill of all our long and
eventful trip.
I'VE had neither steam nor a propeller
and we had to have three conditions ia
vorable or we would bump ON the outside
bar. We had to have a smooth sea. with
tide and wind up the river. These three
things we could not get. After making
several attempts to enter the river there
seemed to be nothing left to do but to
tack ship and float for San Francisco,
which we accordingly did. BY this time

the ship his lordship would have de-
camped Immediately. But we didn't know
that, and we sat there frightened to death
while he repeated the diving process,
coming up on the other side of the boat,
think about twenty times.
THE next thing that worried US was
the running low of our food supply. The
supply of oil for the lanterns was nearly
exhausted. and things began to look Sc
rious. Then stormy weather began and
lasted until November s. We had two
tight spots to get out of on the voyage
back. Once we came near going ashore
at Fort Ross. The waves were high, and
the wind blew to west and then to north.
We could see the land only mile or two
away, and the Cordelias nose heading
straight for it. In some way managed
to tack ship. and my luck did not desert
me. We had fourteen tons of coal as bal
last when we started, but that didn't
amount to much. The fact of the matter
is the Cordelia can't steer, and 1 think 1

do as much watching and steering as If
we were sta. ting for foreign port in

Thick weather and rolling seas kept the
rule, and 1t was not until December 6 that

TObaccO-SmOker Who Gets Most Out Of Good Pine

-H HERE are many pipe smokers who
DO not know how to get the best
there is out Of their indulgence. The
great point in pipe smoking is 10
Tmoke slowly. Nervous smokers smoke
TOO rapidly and burn their tongues with
rot smoke, besides failing entirely to get
The fullest and best flavor out of the to-
bscco. II IS all a matter Of habit, but
Ilow smoking is a habit which IT is hard
'or some smokers to acquire. In some
Eases pipe smokers have tried for years
% check their smoking speed without
success. They begin too late, and the
habit Of rapid smoking is shaken OF with
sihiculty when II IS once acquired.
Rapid smoking is bad as rapid eat
ing, or worse. II is also bad form, -
whether Il is cigar, pipe or cigarette.
The smoking should be deliberate in or
Ger 10 get the fullest enjoyment. 1t Is
especially 50 with pipe. Many persons
have smoked all their lives and yet do
cot know how to smoke. II is as painful
10 watch some people smoke as it is to
sit at the table with a man who COB
oIes'' and georges" his food on the "fif-
een-minutes-fOr-refres plan.
The deliberate pipe smoker gets out Of
his pipe an enjoyment of which the rapid
smoker has no inkling. A cigar which
has once gone out has its flavor ruined
forever. Tor nothing is more obnoxious 10

and surface cars should have some pun

norous with boiling oil"
But IL makes no difference to the flavor
u a pipe how many times it goes out.
Fastidious pipe smokers always have at
least two pipes at hand and never refill
one until it is entirely cooled of. This

in the trough of the waves, and try to
keep your reckonings when you have to
depend on sextant, for we had no chro-

happened the saddest, most uncanny dis
aster Of the whole trip. We three men
had to take turns at the wheel, and have
not had my clothes of once during the
time we were away. The Cordelia man
aged to keep us all on the alert most of
the time, can tell you. On the night of

Denver, Sept. 2.-Gerald Hughes,
son OF C. J. Hughes, Jr., has pur-
chased the home of the Bakers out
of revenge. Mrs. Cornelia Baxter
Tevis Tilted him for the millionaire
Californian, Hugh Tevls, who died in
Japan just one month after the we'd
ding.
society people In Denver who knew
all about the love affair between
young Hughes and the then Miss Cor
nelia Baxter said the jilting was all
because High Tevis was supposed to
be several times a millionaire, while
the amount of j. G. Hughes fortune
was not known.
OF late 1t has transpired that G. ].
Hughes, Jr., instead of being worth
only a paltry half million, increased
his fortune million and a half or
more last year In mining investments.
Several years ago the Baxter family
came from Cheyenne and acquired the
handsome house adjoining the Hughes
brown stone mansion. COrnella was a
mere girl In years then and wore short
dresses. She and Gerald Hughes were
thrown into each others company a
great deal. The announcement OF
their engagement was received with
applause by society. Then came the
jiiring, the marriage to Tevis and the
death of the millionaire.
Now Gerald Hughes has bought the
