PEARLS IN THE
SHIPS BARNACLES

There is a pretty good joke on some
OF the members of the Pacific Club go
ing the rounds. 1t appears that while
on her long voyage from Japan the
ship Dirigo got very foul and that Cap
tain Goodwin recently employed divers
To- clean her bottom. The divers pre-
scented the genial master of the big
windjammer with some big barnacles
which he in turn gave to a friend who
Is a member OF the Pacific Club.
This individual. who is OF a some
what facetious turn OF mind. thought
that Il would be good business to play
a joke on some of his eliminates. and
with this end in view took one of the
clusters OF barnacles and sailed ii with
artificial pearls. Then he set out for
the club.
Arrived there he began displaying the
interesting example OF natures handi-
craft and was soon the center of a Gu
rious crowd. TO one of whom he gave
the shelly trifie. In order to help the
thing along he dropped an allusion to
the effect that there were instances on
record where fine pearls had been found
in barnacles.
The man with the barnacles went
home as soon as he could make a
sneak from the CLUB and began PROB
ing his acquisition with a pocket knife.
Sure enough the blade struck some
thing hard and almost Immediately the
phony pearl was laid bare.
The individual upon whom the joke
had been grated was tickled to death
and bright and. early the next morning
was down at the dock interviewing the
divers with the result that during the
day a hack drew up at his residence
and left a sackful OF blushing bar
nacles.
a hunt for pearls kept the knight OF
the barnacles at home that evening and
the club knew him not. The master
OF the Dirigo heard the story from
the diver in due course and not from |
the member OF the Pacific Club. That
individual. like Brer Rabbit, LAY low
an didn't do no talkin'"
Occasionally a stranger strolls down !
to the Railway wharf where the Di- |
rigo. queen OF the harbor craft is ly- !
ing in state. and. ton-holing Cap
tain Goodwin, innocently asks him
when he is going to take his ship out
and plant her again.
