could be no slower than London. He was
| getting quite thin and his friend Charles
was becoming peevish and -uncompanion-
able. Willie decided to sail on the schooner
to Australia.
About half an hour before she was 70
be towed down the river. he and Charles
went aboard along a hawser which made
her fast TO the wharf. They sought a So
Guided spot in the middle Of a huge coil OF
rope,
over the edge Of their retreat showed them
that the ship was swinging out into the
stream, but they peeped once too 0ten
and two sailor men came along and at the
command Of an officer who used most I'M
gentle language threw them over the side
into the Thames.
There were a lot Of mall boats there and
they were In no danger Of drowning. But
the water was cold and not over clean
u say nothing Of its being exceedingly
wet. A man in a small boat took them
ashore and they sat on a s~tringpiece and
solemnly decided that they did not want
to go TO Australia very much. anyway.
Charles was sure that they ought TO go
bach to Inwood az soon "a might be. Willie
had heard that the easiest way TO get TO
Australia was from San Francisco and IL
seemed good 10 him that they should re-
turn to Yankeeland and get new inspira-
ton from their mother country before
they made the long journey.
There was a Roston freighter tied up
nearby and Il looked very homelike some
how. William and Charles went aboard.
They were challenged by a steward, but
they sale they wanted TO look the state
rooms over before taking passage hack TO
New York on her.
They succeeded in convincing the man
that they were really from Greater New
York and he let them go down into the ship,
keeping a close watch on them all the while.
The more they saw of the ship, the better
they liked her.
They were reluctant TO go ashore. and
indeed did not go until they were urged.
She was to sail the next day at 10 in the
morning. They waited until il was dark
and tlen went aboard again. This time
they went by way of an open coal port
which they reached by a flying leap from
the wharf across tour feet Of exceedingly
unpleasant looking water.
Charles stayed down in the coal hole.
Willie looked for better quarters. He was
seen poking his head up through a hatch
and a searching party was sent below after
him; The searchers found Charles. but
Willie had skipped across the deck to tho
f~orecastle and had crawled under a sailors
bunk, The sailor pulled him out. and then
being touched by Willie's innocent ways
concealed him again in an empty chest
which was In the forecastle.
The other sailors who came In were in
terested In his stories OF life afioat and
ashore and told him TO keep quiet and say
nothing. They fed him on scraps they
saved from their meals.
After awhile he bethought himself OF
Charles and wanted TO go TO look for him,
His friends advised him TO stay close to
his chest. They said that they would
look for Charles.
Willie's co npanion had been chased
from the boat a second time before they
left London. but he made a quick return
by way Of tho coa hole and the searchers
found him, He WAS not to lie brought
10 the forecastle because there was no
place TO keep him, so he slept on the coal
and tho sailors brought him things to eat.
lnssmuch rs he had lived on nothing al all
for three day W he was OF excellent appetite.
Willie. with another Of his smiles. remarks
in telling the tale that the sailors said that
the cook complained bitterly of the amount
that the crew found il necessary to eat.
To Williams disgust, after the ship Was
several days out. he found that she was
bound for Boston and not for New York.
On arriving in Boston. Willie profting by
his experience in England made for the
open fields.

the ways OF gypsies and went In search Of n
