The cutter was only ten feet away
and was prepared to throw a grapple
aboard when Nancy Jones tossed her
snuff into the air and dropped to the
deck. n her example was followed
by the others. The wind carried every
last pinch OF that strong snum across
the space to the cutter. and it may be
said that she was raked from stem to
stern and from starboard to port. In
an Instant every man on the English
mans deer was Dllueu, COuShAhEs
sneczing and as helpless as IL bound
hand and foot.
The crew Of the Nancy Jones could
have captured the whole outfit without
striking a blow. but that had not been
Included in Naucy's plan. Urged on by
Captain Israel. they swung her yards
and got her gu her course, and the
breeze freshened us II in sympathy
with her efforts. She was not pursued,
however. Indeed the officers pnd men
OF the cutter were calling out to her
for relief, and it was probably n full
hour before any one Of them could see
n distance of twenty feet over the rail.
In due time and without meeting
with further adventure the Nancy
Jones arrived Mt her home port, and
the tale Of the snuff was soon told. If
Nancy had found herself n heroine IN
the eyes of the crew, she was now III

she was the veritable Goddess Of Lib

rhc whnIe.n Appetite.

A whales appetite Is phenomenal.
His chief diet consists of jellyhsh- He
has simply to open his mouth and pad
die along IeIsurely in order to take in
ielIyfsh by the wagon load. Such is
the method adopted by the w~halebonc
whale. The sperm whale, on the coz
trary, captures huge squids weighing
often several tons. Like his brother
the whaleoone whale, he must be con-
stantly on The lookout for food; other
wise he would starve. As many as
fourteen seals have c taken from a
thirty foot .killer." Other fishes of
enormous appetites are not uncommon.
The bluehsh. for example, thrives on
Sardines and other small fish. Assum-
ing that one bIuefsh eats ten small fish
a day, It has been figured that 1t re-
quires 1O,oOo.o 100000 snrdInes to feed
the 1.OOOOOO.OOo bluefish on our COASTS
every summer. Most curious of all
eaters is the hydra strange creature
that can be turned inside out without
impairing its appetite or it's power to
eat-Sclentidc American.
