tenant on the ship Potomac, which
crossed the North Pacific. a region
little known 10 naval vessels in the
early thirtles. Pinkham had been on
several whaling voyages, and was ia.
miliar with those waters. The author
OF The Island Of Nantucket says
that one day. near sunset he had the
watch, while the commodore was pac.
ing up and down the deck
Suddenly Pinkham gave the order,
"Man the weather braces
whats that for:' asked the com.
modore.
I'VE shall have wind in a moment"
The commodore went TO the lee rail
and scanned the sea ana sky. Il see
no signs OF wind he returned. Let
the men leave the braces
The crew dropped the ropes.
Keep hold Of the braces. every man
Of you" called out Pinkham, and the
men resumed their grasp. The COM
mOdOre flushed with anger aud ex-
claimed in peremptory tones:
LET the men leave the braces" and
again the braces were dropped
Don't any Of you dare to drop the
ropesw shouted Pinkham, shaking his
trumpet at the crew, who once more
took hold. Just then the wind dropped
0tirely; not a breath stirreL
T"Taut, taut. Haul, all Of you" called
Pinkham and the ponderOus yards
swung to reversed position. The wind
came out Of the opposite quarter and
struck the ship like slpdge hammer.
The vessel staggered, shook the spray
from her bows and dashed ahead. The
commodore disappeared into his cabin
without saying word.
Presently he sent the first Lieutenant
to relieve Pinkham, requesting to see
the latter Immediately. When Pink
ham entered the cabin the commodore
said.

FOR all OF our lives but | will tell you
frankly if that wind hadn't come
