You landlubbers may not know
who Davy Jones is, SO [ will tell
you. Davy Jones is the spirit of
a sailor who was drowned in pre-
historic times and was appointed
by St. Peter to gather the bones
of all sailors who were honorably
drowned or buried at sea, and to
keep said bones separate from the
bones of the landlubbers who
sometimes miserably perish at sea
(God be good to the fishes!), for it
would be terrible calamity if on
the day of the resurrection sailor
were to appear at the gates with
the thigh bones of a landsman stuck

you see it is Davy Jones's duty to
see that nothing like that should
happen. SINBAD.

his finger with my eye. At first |
saw nothing-then an object ap-

for moment and disappeared into
a hollow. Each of us took good
grip on our ropes and sat perfectly
still. Suddenly coyote trotted
over the ridge opposite us and then
apparently saw the rabbit. He
made a quick rush, caught the
closest piece of flesh, which fortu-
nately, Cor unfortunately for him)
was attached to my line, and swal-
lowed lt-at least he tried to but
the hooks caught in his jaws and
held him.
Then came the struggle. He
jumped, yelped, bit and paved at
the rope, and once when we at
tempted to take in slack, he made
a maddened rush at us. If any
one tells you coyote won't fight,
don't believe him. It took us an
hour to tire that coyote enough
to allow us to kill him, which we
did with knife. Then we trudged
slowly home, tired, thirsty and
hungry, but supremely happy.
