The following Is a true story, having hap
pened IN the Writers own personal experience,
the names ani dates alone being changed
The schooner Coral Leai", homeward
BOUND from Havana for Portland, had
nefn blown many miles out of her course,
during the heavy gales that swept over
the coast the latter part OF Feprua y, 1S9--.
But the wind had suddenly veered around,
and, under single reefs we were making an
easy ten knots on our course.
The weather, however, remained in
tensely cold.
"a bitter nigh, MIR. Lufkin." / re
marked to my mate. as tarried moment
on deck to finish my pipe before going
below.
"Yes sir, beastly cold,n he replied !;
"nothing lives comfortably out OF blankets
a night like this"
stood few moments longer Watching
the brave little craft as she sped like a
thing OF lie before the wind and sea. 1t
was my first command, and felt Justly
proud OF the ga liant craft that had fought
her way so bravely through the heavy
gales OF the preced ding ten days.
But rousing myself from my reverie,
knocked the ashes from my pipe, and,
| defending to the cabin, l sought my
berth where was soon sleeping soundly.
Suddenly became aware OF a strange and
beautiful being, standing by the side OF
my BERTH, and, slowly raising her arm,
| until the index finger OF the right hand
pointed at the tell tale hat hung a bove
my berth, said three times, slowl, and dis-
tinctly: "Keep her away three points,"
As the last words left her lips / awoke
and lay long time bordering over the
strangeness OF my dream. Try as would,
could not Danish 1t from my mind.
Some mysterious power seemed propelling
me against my will. And rising from my
berth, l dressed hurriedly and went on
deck.
The scene had not changed. / fell to
pacing the quarter deck, endeavoring to
rid myself OF the spell under which was
la boring. It was useless. Turn which
| way would, the vision still haunted me,
and those clesr, ringing tones sounded in
my ears. 1 paused irresolute, and then
suddenly turning around, ordered the
| helmsman to keep the vessel off.
just as the sun was rising over the
wintry scene, the lookout forward re-
ported some object little off the weather
| bow. Selling my glass sprang into the
weather rigging, and leveling the glass
upon the object, made out what appeared
| to be the wreck OF small vessel, lying
dismasted and half submerged in the
trough OF the sea. As we approached the
wreck / could make out, with the aid of
my glass, a group of men huddled to-
gether on the after deck house.
"Mr. Lufkin," I said, turning to the
mate, "are you willing to go to these poor
70 lows rescue?"
| "Cyrus Lufkin never yet shirked what
he considered his duty" replied the noble
| fellow.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1903-12-30

And stepping forward to the break of
the poop. called out in lusty tones:
s'Lay aft here ALL"
The men caine trembling aft in answer
to the mates hail. In few words he
made known to them what was wanted.
Every man expressed Willingness to
follow him. Meanwhie Q, we had APP
proached the wreck. as near as our own
safety would permit, and bringing our
vessel to, proces ded to launch boat.
This was no mean undertaking in such
tumDling sea, but uucer the mates able
direction, 1t was successfully accom-
p ished.
Away sped the frail craft on its errand
OF mercy. As soon as the boat was well
out OF the way, kept our own vessel off,
and ran down to ieeward of the wreck
In short time the boat returned, and
four emaciated and frost bitten men we're
lifted In over the rail, in an exhausted
co.. dition and borne tenderly below.
For three days they had lived on top of
that vessels house, stung by the terrible
cold and the psngs OF Hunger and thirst.
We kept away on our course, and in due
time arrived safely in port.
Through the courtesy of the owners,
Messrs. s. & Co., free passes were procured
for the destitute men, and they left for
their homes they would never have seen
again but for the hand that guided US to
the wreck.
Was 1t the hand OF Providence? Who
among us is wise enough to tell?

Fountain Pen Perfection.
The Quaker City Self-Filling Fountain
Pen Fills Itself and thereby
Fills q Long felt Want.


Free Press.
Any reliable time saver is eagerly
welcomed by the modern business man.
Probably the most forceful illustration
of this condition of things in recent
years was the enthusiasm with which
the fountain pen was greeted. 1t
seemed to mean the saving of so much
time and annoyance for so many
people that its sale was simply .phe-
nomenal.
But the fountain pen was not by any
means perfect and its users soon dis
covered that the bother was only con-
centrated, instead of being dispensed
with. The finest fountain pen would
write indifferently well as long as there
was ink in it, but when that gave out
our busy man had to stop, unscrew an
inky cap, hunt around for a filler and
the particular ink recommended by the
manufacturers of that particular pen
and so on through long process of
annoyance,
The manufacturers of the Quaker
City Self Filling Fountain Pen have
overcome all this bother and produced
a practical writing tool which is as
easy to use as if one were simply writ
ing with the filler needed for the old
pen. There is nothing to. unscrew,
nothing to squirt, nothing to lose or
get out of order. Its construction is
Simple and substantial and the opera
ton of filling it SO simple that you
wonder nobody thought of it before.
1t is merely necessary to dip the pen
pressing it slightly, lift up as usual
