Cal. tells how she saved her brother from ruin and her words burn with a new hope to every woman who would rescue a son, brother or husband from the scourge of drunkenness. She says:

STRANGE BOATS IN PERU.
Curioas Vessels That Are Fashioaed
of Reeds and Rushss In That
Country.

According to NJ. de Camarasa, = Eu-
ropsan scientist and traveller, there
are no stranger boats in the world
than those which are used by certain
fisberntn in Peru. They are known as
cabaliitos, which is Spanish werd,
meaning little horses or ponies. ana in
appearance they are some what similar
to Venetian gondo!as. the mos; roiab.e
feature about them being the eX.raor-
binary height of their prows. The
fishermen. who squat in them on their
knee. say that it is impossible TO sink
them. and that when they are over
turned by the waves, as sometimes
happs ms, they are easily rightcd again.
These curious vesse.s are no; hol-
owed ont like ordinary boats, but ere
really small RATS. Neither are they
made of common wood, but Of the
stout reeds or rushes which grow on
the plant known in Peru as the ;c,ora.
They are propelled by means of pad
die, and fishermen fearlesslf 20 in
them through the surf and hrcalers.
In the case of a Shipwreck these i.t.e
boats have also more than once given
timely aid, and their owners are not
afraid to go far out o sea il the ihink
that by doing so they can be OF any
service to vessel in distress. Alto
gether, these little sea horses are very
useful and in some respects are dccid-
eddy superior to small rowboats and
canoes eh
