On glorious spring morning
toward the close of May 200 years
ago a momentous historic event took
place in very quiet way, with not
even chronicler to describe the de-
tails. Woodland, water and cloud
less sky formed the framework of
the picture, the foreground of, which
was occupied with a. number of boats
sailing on the surface of a broad river
and manned with warriors, fierce-look-
ing, oddly dressed and wrangling
among themselves in loud tones. They
were the famous "Bombardier" regi-
ment which had achieved feats of
prowess a few weeks before during
the battle with the SWedes, and their
captain" was the most imposing fig
ure of them all, sitting in the Prov of
stout vessel ahead of the rest The
weather was bright and bracing, and
the breeze caused the face of the blue,
broad Neva to wrinkle, as it lost
itself in the Finnish gulf. The "cap-
tain" stood with his back to the sea,
gazing at the smiling islands in front,
which were literally covered with
dense forests; indeed, had it not been
for the noisy-tongued men on the
boats he might have fancied himself
in a country heretofore unvisited by
man. The whole district, Swedish
down to a couple Of weeks before, had
recently been taken by the Russian
troops. The "captain' now landed on

When the America won the first in.
ternational yacht race at Cowes, Eng
land, 6fty-tWo years ago, the world
little knew at the time that on farm
at Point Pleasant, Bristol, R. L.,
two children were playing who would
give yachting and rapid navigation
generally, an all-round, far-reaching
impetus such as, in all the wide world,
they had never felt before. The elder,
John B. Herreshoff, a sandy-haired,
blue-eyed, earnest-looking boy of ten,
although foredoomed to life Of
blindness, could then see, and had
already begun to white out pretty
toy boats. Only three or four years
later he built his first boat for &C.
tual use, which was considered a
marvel of beauty and speed. At fif-
teen, his eyesight failed him forever,
but he would not let anything dis
courage him, so he continued to study
boats, and to build them, too. The
younger, "Nat,'' rather reddish-hair-
ed, ruddy-faced, roguish fodder of
three, at the time of the Cowes con-
test, was noted chiefly for an irrepres-
sible inclination to run away to the
shore near by, at every favorable op-
portunity, and lie down on his back
in the sand and kick his heels exult-
antly in the water. He was found
often asleep in this position by his
anxious mother, one chubby hand
clasping wisp of seaweed, the other
full of wet sand, with the rising tide
washing his bare feet. Whenever he
was missing he was first sought for
on the shore, where, if he was awake
and saw that his movements were

by the tail, or where the latter is
small by back wings taking it's place.

way to the center when a curious
sound in the air above arrested, his
attention.
Looking up he beheld great eagle
Tapping it's wings noisily, soaring up
to dizzy height and then swiftly des'
cending to spot not far from where
he stood. He did not then know that
it was a bird tanned by the men who
were wont to load the. boats with tim.

as good omen for his undertaking.
Selling a bayonet therefore, he cut
out two sods of the turf, placed them

Such is the legendary tale of the
foundation of the northern Palmyra

the time, and to have been laid in a
gold casket, which still lies among the
foundations of the fortress.
