World be Z Pirate

When I tell you that Jack had grown
50 queer that me really did not believe
IN santa Claus YOU viii see what a funny
boy he was. He used to plan To De
pirate and sail 20 the Caribbean Sea and
take a great Spanish galle0n, but his
father said ne would have TO go into his
shop when he got through school and
learn TO be a workman there Now, as
1is father was a manufacturer Of art.-
fetal Fausage-skins. Jack did not like to
think of learning the trade. and so one
day fIe resolved TO run away and go to
sea. for th6t woald be the first step to-
ward piracy
He packed up his sweater, his sling
shot his fsh-line, two or three haudkeT-
chiefs and a new pair of sb0estrings in a
bundle. and taking all the money out Of
hie savings bank thirty-seven cents. he
started for the wharves where all kinds
of ships were lying. He walked along the
river front looking for the very largest
and handsomeSt ship, intending 10 select
that enc in which 90 be cabin-boy, for
he knew that was the way all pirates
begin.
He came 1T t3st to very large, black
ship which seemed 70 him to look more
like q pirate ship than any OF them. He
did not know how to get on board OF first,
but after dodginS IN and out among the
carts boxes and bales that crowded the
wharf. Ne found the gangway and going
aboard asked to STE the captain. He was
taken TO that officer, who was very
aerce-lcoking man. and he asked him if
ne wanted a cabin-hoy. The captain was
SO angry at being interrupted in his work
by such small boy that he shouted TO
the boatswain 90 throw Jack into the
Gooboo's cags, which frightened the boy
50 that be fed from the ship in such haste
that he almost fell overheard going down
the eang-plank.
He was a little bit discouraged at his
reception on that ship, but he picked out
another, a nice white vessel, at the next
wharf. but a man who was cleaning the
decks threatened to hit him with a greasy
mon when ne asked to see the captain t.
learn if he needed a Cabin-bOy. He went
from snip to ship, but in never a one die
he ind that a boy was needed, or If one
was needed there were SO many other
bops waiting for the job that ne could
not get near the ship. When night came
he was far down the river and there
seemed TO be nothing there but canal
boats. Yet he resolved not to give Up
and decided to stay there ali night. He
saw on the street facing the river large
house with q sign in front Seaman S
Rest Lodging twenty-five cents and hi
made up his mind TO stay there all night
for the streets were so fun of men who
looked like pirates that he was afraid tC
be out there all alone, and ne began &C

nice as he had expected 20 ind them. lie

afternoon nap:

The captain turned pale, EpTang up and

mate. who was a very tail man named
Patrick Kelly, a Swede, and who ted him
that he had been the eabin-boy on the
last voyage, but the voyage had lasted
SO long that he came back a grown man
with whiskers foot in length
Jack hoped that this voyage would not
be of such a length. as his grandmother
was not feeling well when he left home,
and he war ed to get home before she
died of old age; but Patrick, looking at
the sky, said; II this wind holds out it
will take a month or two off the trip,

The ship was loaded with a cargo of pc

look. He added:
