Prot Harris, head Of the department
OF pedagogy i'm Harvard university, has
been discussing the familiar and per-
picking question of the overcrowding Of
she public school curriculum. His rem
edy for the universally admitted evil,
stated in general terms. is the suitable
elimination of unsuitable subject mat
ter" If Prof Harris ideas about re-
form prevail let it be hoped that the
school boards win begin the elimination
programme with arithmetic. OF all the
overworl1ed fads in connection with the
public school system arithmetic is the
worst About one-tenth of the time
spent upon it probably would prove suf-
hcient in most instances and that
should be placed near the end of the
school course instead of near the be
ginning. What is the object of so much
arithmetic anyway? Is it designed to
enable people to figure out a living in
stead of working for it2

IN Fifteen
FATHOMS
[Copyright. 1903, by c. B. Lewis.1

copyright. 1903, by c. B. Lewis.1
We had gone to Bird island, in the
Arabian see, in the trading brig Hope
to fish for pearl oysters. One day as
we were dragging the bottom in fifteen
fathoms we came across what we be-
lieved to be sunken hulk. The spot
was about three miles Off the island.
Our divers could not descend to such
depth to make an inspection. and after
two days spent in preparing tackle we
sailed the brig out and anchored her
near the spot.
1t was three days before we got the
breeze from the right quarter. but
when it came we threw over our drag
and sailed over the wreck. The grap-
nels caught her, and the ropes and
chains stood the strain. We piled sail
on the brig. but for ten minutes she
h.aved and tuggcd and was held fast.
Something had to give as the breeze
freshened, and. to our great JOY. the
hulk Was pulled out of her sandy bed
and towed along the bottom behind US.
We got her into thirty feet OF water
and within two cables length of the
beach and anchored her. The pearl
divers then went down to make an ex-
animation. They reported her to be
the hulk of an Arabian dhow which
must have been in collision with an
other craft, as she was STAYED in on
the port quarter
What we wanted to get our find on
west 1t came after nearly week of
waiting. and the combined efforts Of
wind current and tide brought the
old hulk in at high water. She was
one of the most curious. sights sailor
ever clapped eyes on. From stem to
stern she was solid mass of shells.
She was about ninety feet long. and
when we came to dig down to the
wood we found it almost as hard as
iron. She had been rigged with two
masts. the stumps of which stood up
eight feet nlgn. rev rect OF Dul-
warks remained on either bow. but the
rest Of the deck had been swept clean.
Our grapnels had caught in the hole
which sunk her. else they would not
have caught at all owing to the solid
layer Of shells.
Ii we had been supplied with powder
we should have blown her up, but as
we had none we had to do some hard
work with pick and shovel. The in
terror seemed to be solid cake of
mud and sand, but we did not remove
much Of it until we had cleared the
outside. After she had lain in the hot
sun for three or four days she began
to dry out. and the work of digging off

the shells was much easier. Tnerc
were six separate and distinct layers
on her deck, and mixed with the bot
tom one we found three Arabian
swords, two or three ancient muskets
and u couple Of axes.
The divers had given it as their opin-
ion that she had been run into, but
when we came to make closer in
spection Of the holes in her quarter we
concluded that she had been struck by
shell fred from some man-of-war.
1t had sent lnr to the bottom as quick
as if she had been run into by thou
sand ton ai B. During the week we
were freei the hulk from her shell
armor a }cl lose watch was kept on
the beach, tnd we picked up coins to
the val 5of about $500. American
money. Some of these We're Arabian
and some Persian.
When we had entirely cleared the
decks we found the craft had only one
hatchway, and that was amidships.
We enlarged this and then rugged up
windlass and bucket to empty her as
dirt is taken from Il we'll. Every buck
etful was carefully inspected as soon
as dumped. but we found nothing more
valuable than shells until we'll down to
her keel. We couldn't make out what
sort OF cargo she carried until the shov-
els began to throw out human bones
along with the sand. With the bones
came iron shuckles and other outfit
tings of 81 SLAYER. and by and by we got
down far enough to find that she had
been fitted for a false deck and thus
enabled to carry double tier of slaves
In hold only six feet deep. We dug
out ot her Old bones enough to account
for at least fifty persons. and a sur
geon who afterward examined some of
them said they belonged to men and
women Of the negro race. In the fore
castle We found nothing except cou-
pie Of gun barrels and two earthen
bowls. but in the cabin we had better
luck.
In the last dirt we took out we found
coins to the value of 5000. These were
scattered about on the floor. Many had
worked out and come ashore. and
many were doubtless buried in the
sands beyond recovery. We found
number Of muskets and swords in the
cabin. but us no bones were found
there or in the forecastle we argued
that the crew must have got away in
small boat.
Six months later when we told our
story at Cape Town we were referred
to history to prove that the dhow had
been fired on and sunk by H. NJ. S.
Sovereign while forming one Of the
fleet to suppress the slave trade. The
dhow had loaded part Of cargo OF
slaves on the Mozambique coast when
driven off and pursued by the mall-of-
war. The chase lasted three or four
days. and the dhow had finally thought
to escape by running among the is
lands, When she went down her crew
escaped to Bird island and were after
ward taken off by native craft.

it.
She will show her pretty throat and
a tempting bit of her soft neck
she viii have her gowns draped to
half reveal and half conceal the love
