Julia Morelli lived ON the top floor
of the three-storied rickety old build
ing in the rear of the four-storied
rickety old building that looked out
on Mulberry street. The four-storied
building had a little air and sun
light to give to its hundreds Of men,
women and children.
In the winter the building in the
rear was comfortable as home, but
in the summer it was fearfully hot,
and everybody had to sleep on the
roof. Here little Julia, for she was
only fourteen years old and small for
her age, could lie awake at night and
look up at the stars and dream OF
Pasquale.
He was her neighbor. He lived In
the front house. He was eighteen,
and he was tall and brave, and gave
her the peanuts and apples that he
could not sell, so that she loved him
and he loved her.
Julia's father was shoemaker, and
had but little liking for Pasquale.
All of the Bucios had been ne'er-do
wells, he declared; the father had
died and left his only son nothing but
a pushcart and a barrel of apples and
bag of peanuts. Pasquale had
worked hard, he admitted, but he was
not in a good position, and his trade
did not pay well, for the policeman
ate halt his stock in trade on some
days, and on other days waited until
he had sold three dollars worth OF
apples and peanuts, and then arrested
him and took him off to court, where
he was fined all that he had made.
No, Pasquale was not the man for
Julia, her father declared, for she was
extravagant and used to every COM
fort, such as shoes in the summer
time and new shawls when the patri-
otto sons of Italy had their picnics in
Lion Park. So Julia was told never
to think of Pasquale again.
Julia was sure that she loved Pas
quale, and she knew that he loved
her, too. So that it was all soon ar.
.anged.
Pasquale said that he would make
q formal offer of his heart and hand,
and then. if her father would not let
them get married, why they would do
80 anyhow and ask his consent after
ward. Then he went away.
The next morning when her mother
went out to market she was ready.
She crept down the stairs and then
through the alley to Mulberry street
and then down to the Bowery. Pas
quale was waiting for her. They got
on the elevated and went away up
own.
Now we are SAFE" said Pasquale;
they will never seek for us up this
far, and l have bought a shoeblack
stand up here and we will soon be
rich-and so happy"
when are we to be married."
asked Julia, her heart beating violent
ly at the mere prospect Of so much
happiness.

seafaring family, although he was born
in the middle part of Germany. His
father, Jacob Eisenbraum, who died a
year ago, was an admiral in the Ger
man navy, and he also had brother
who was in the navy. Ludwig went
into the navy when quite young, and
remained there until he was twenty
five. Then he came to this country,
and did not return home again until
the death of his father, year ago.
He is naturaliZed American citizen,
and makes his home in Boston when
he is not on the water
When he started I presented him
with a beautiful American flag and
told him to hoist it at whatever port
he might touch. He is fond Of his
adopted country and knows that his
allegiance to Old Glory will be ap.
preciated. His first stop will be made
at Queenstown, from where he will go
to London. He will also go to Ham
burg and Berlin, and will undoubted-
ly be royalty received by the people
of his native land. He will also visit
Paris and probably Other points in
Europe. The return trip will be made
in an ocean linc~.'
At least score of daring navigator3
have left these shores to cross the
Atlantic in small boats during the
past ten or fifteen years. Some Of
them have given up the task after
getting out on TIE ocean short dis
lance and have made their way to
some other seaccast town than the
one from which they started. Still
there are some few who have accom-
plished the feat. Some years ago
Capt. Crepo of Now Bedford made the
trip with his wife in double-ender
something like whaleboat Later
he became master of vessel and was
drowned in tie West Indies.
Capt. Andrea is one of those who
started to make the trip, and from
whom nothing has ever been heard.

great trouble with those in the past
who have failed in their endeavors to
cross the Atlantic in an open boat Is
that their craft was not Of the right
selection. The boat in which intend
making the trip will be safer than a
sloop or tugboat."
The management of the boat during
sleeping time, he said, was an easy
matter. From two to three hours
sleep, in twenty-four will be sufficient
on the voyage" he said. During that
time. shall drop out sea anchor,
which will assist in keeping the boat
always with her head to the waves.
This Is most important feature of
trip of this kind. In my opinion, An.
drea and others who have had much
larger boats than the Constitution
have met their end by turning broad

capsizing. 3d..

up the capital for the undertaking. So
far he has spent about $500, and the
expenses will be considerably larger
before the completion OF the trip. He
is just as enthusiastic and as confident
of the success of the venture as Capt.
Eisenbraum, and is ready to post a
wager that his friend will make the
trip safely.

How about the risk OF being run

Leave it to Ludwig Eisenbraum to

without knowing something about

nineteen years of age he was COM

might become citizen of the Repub-

DARING SAILOR Is CROSSING !:
THE SEA IN AN OPEN DORY

Shortly after his marriage last year
he and his wife left one of the sea
shore resorts in small boat for the
purpose of going to England. Neither
of them have been heard from since,
and no trace of their boat has been
found.
Capt. Blackburn of Gloucester and
Capt. Perry of Swampscott have made
the trip across the Atlantic, but they
used much larger boats than the one
in which Capt. Eisenbraum is sailing.
