O'NEAL RAISED HIS FEET.

The officers were out for Il money max
ing cruise, he states, and proved ver-
liable slave drivers. The ship was
short handed, and it became necessary
in the captains eyes to work the men
day and night. O'Neal and Connolly
proved to be the strongest hands on
deck. and on them fell the brunt of
the labor. They were dashed into ODE
dience when their tired natures re-
bellCd and cried out for sleep. They
were Kicked. cuffpd, banged about and
treated, on the whole, more like cattle
than human beings. They had shipped
from England and learned later that
the vessel was bound for Rio de Ja-
metro and back. When they reached
the waters Of Rio de Janeiro, O'Neal
and Connolly decided to desert.
One night rs the ship lay at anchor
they rugged up gangway to serve as
a raft They waited until - O'clock
when it was time for the second officer
to go on watch. This second officer was
n stupid, unsuspecting old German,
who spent most of his watch in sleep.
They had Il plank gangway which
consisted of three good sized planks
nailed together. in readiness by the
side Of the rail so it could be easily
lifted over. After the officer had made
his first round and settled down for a
nap they started to raise the raft to
the rail. but misjudged it's weight. and
it fell with rattle and crash on n pile
of chains. The German stirred. but did
not wake. They found it impossible to
get the clumsy affair over alone and
called on the only man whom they felt
they could trust. He proved to be true
blue, and the thing went over With a
splash that might have awakened the
dead, but never the German. who was
evidently n little tipsy as well.
Unfortunately the rough contact with
the chains and the rail had severed the
planks. and the raft capsized almost
instantly and went to pieces They
managed to right two of the planks
and piled their soaked clothing and
bags on these. They had managed to
get hold Of two paddles and easily res
cued these. They got out of earshot of
the vessel and We're congratulatins
themselves on their good fortune when

German syrup.

We want to impress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is posi-
lively the only preparation on the mar
ket today that does relieve and cure
consumption. It contains the specifics.
such as pure tar, extracts of gums, etc,
which have been so highly endorsed for
the cure of coughs, colds and consump-
ton by the great medical congresses.
The consumptive, whether his disease
is in the throat or lungs, must have
rest at night, and be free from the
spasm of dry and racking cough in the
morning. The diseased parts want
rest, healing and soothing treatment,
and the patient needs fresh air, good
food, etc. German Syrup will give
free and easy expectoration in the
morning with speedy and permanent
relief. Small bottles, Is cents; regular
size, containing nearly four times as
much, IS cents. AT all druggists.

| suddenly, not ten rect away, we nearn
an ominOus swishing sound and saw
| in the moonlight set Of ugly. jagged.
black fms sticking up out Of the water
The next instant fins began to start
| up in all directions, and 1 felt slick,
smooth body strike against one of my
feet. The shock sent cold shivers up
and down my spinal column. For a
few seconds fancied my leg off, for
was numb with fright. We both tried
to jerk our legs out Of the water. but
the planks were not wide enough to let
us lie out fiat.
81 have seen few Of my mates eaten
by sharks in southern waters, general
iy through their own carelessness.
There is not much to see. A shark has
to throw himself ON his back before he
can seize his prey. He closes his jaws
over his victims legs and drags him
down. and there is nothing but trail
of blood left to tell what has happened.
every horrible shark story l had
ever heard came back to me, and ex-
oected my doom as assuredly as ever
expected anything, but decided to make
fight for my life. l think l would
have shot myself if l had had the
means just to get away from the horror
Of the situation. l called to my mate,
and we tried to keep as close together
US possible. Every time he would
sway to one side, as he did frequently
from fear and fatigue l would think
him gone and would feel mad inclina-
ton to plunge in after him. We were
too weak from our work on the vessel to
put in much exertion with the paddles.
The planks seemed t. go forward at
snaiPs pace, with those black crea lures
on all sides blocking the way. Occa-
sionally they would come to the sur
face, showing their top fins, which was
relief to us, for we knew where they
were at least and what they were do
ing.
presently there wasn't a shark any
where in sight. l thought it was all up
with us. In few minutes one of them
appeared not ten feet away and slow
~ swan along the surface in the same
way we were going. For fully fifteen
minutes he kept alongside, and it SEEM
ed more like an hour to u.s. then went
out of sight under the water headed in
our direction. We both pulled our legs
up as high as we could and poised our
paddles in the air ready to bring them
down on the water to frighten him if
he made an attack. Why that shark
did not go for us l have no idea unless
the length Of the planks confused him.
He reappeared on the surface every lit
tie while until we reached shallow wa
ter, nearly two hours later, and the
water all about us showed the fins Of
q dozen or more great sharks in the
moonlight The experience was a
nerve SCATTERING process We We're 50

Here is Il headache cure that is said
to be Il marvellous remedy and to re-
licve the sufferer when all else fails
1t is easy to make and easy to apply,
and it consists simply of black pepper
and camphor. Take Il quantity of black
pepper and put it in a handkerchief.
Then fold the handkerchief over so
that the grains cannot fall out and
saturate the whole thing with cam
phor. Bind this plaster" on the head
and lie down. In a very few moments
the headache will be relieved and the
patient will be asleep. When the hand

with the camphor: that's all. People
