F|ND|NG THE MAGNET
copyright, 1909, by c. B. Lewis. ]


Several months previous to our ar
rival at Rio in the whaler John Davis
a craft called the Magnet, containing
about sixty gold seekers, had left
she had not been spoken and as we
were bound to those seas we were ask
ed to keep lookout for signs of her
Forty days later one day when 1 was
aloft in the crows nest l sighted q
derelict not over four miles away.
What l made out was craft with all
her masts, yards, bowsprit and stand
ing rigging gone. She was nearly bows
on to me, so l could not make out how
badly her bulwnrks We're damaged.
The stump of the foremost was about
twenty feet high, while the others had
broken off lower down. The hull was
very buoyant and 1oated high. but as
was to be expected. it presented a
weather beaten and forlorn appear
ance.
On descending to the deck reported
my discovery to the captain, and an
hour later, the wind being very light
we were up with the wreck. To our
great surprise the drifting hulk proved
to be that of the missing Magnet.
From the time Of sighting her to the
moment of heaving to we looked for a
signal to show that some one was still
living aboard of her, but none was
shown. When we had her under our
lee the crew ran aloft to look down
upon her decks. The fall Of the masts
had crushed her bulwarks, but the
damage had been repaired afterward,
though the new work had not been
painted. AS for the hull, it was appar-
emily as tight and buoyant as when it
sailed out CT Rio. 1t was terribly
weather worn, however, and seemed to
be sailing in bed of grass.
A musket was brought up and fired
three or four times, and the crew shout
ed in chorus again and again, but as we
got no response the captain ordered a
boat lowered to go aboard. We board
ed her at the bows, and when I fol-
lowed the captain over Their braced
| my nerves to meet a grewsome specta-
Gle. Nothing living or dead was in
sight, however. Every bit Of the wreck
was gray white In color because of long
exposure to the weather, and here and
there about the decks were black spots
of decay. There were few coils of
rope, a heap of clothing and bedding
little better than black mold, and three

Lines in memory of Devona, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Al Heath
September dawned in all her granduer,
But it has no charms for me
For there's one been taken from us,
whom on earth no more We'll see.
When right in the bloom of childhood,
10 her parents such pride;
Devona was stricken down with fever,
And in a few short days she died.
Doctors tried in vain to save her,
She was cared for night and day;
But her earthly work was finished,
AND she calmly passed away.
She was always smiling sweetly.
Except when in the greatest pain;
And even then she did not nlurmur,
Never once did she complain.
Parents dear, although you miss her,
With her ever cheerful face;
hen you glance around the table,
And you see one vacant place.
Do not think your lot the hardest,
FOR God ways are not our own;
Devona's happy now in heaven,
Singing praises near the throne.
Brother. sister, cease your weeping,
God who doeth all things best;
saw mt to take our sister
10 her home among the blest.
All her friends and her companions,
W men her form no more they'll see,
In ner old accustomed places,
OFT will grieve and cry with me.
Dark and cherries is our dwelling,
Lonely is our home today;
For the one we loved so dearly,
has forever passed away.
Ones been taken from our circle,
Whom we loved with all our hearts;
But some day we IL meet in heaven,
Never, never more to part
