The fear suddenly smote him as It toppled over
that perhaps itwould not understand wish uttered
in English, and he hastily rewound t. As he was
about 10 send it along the deck again another idea
came into his mind, and he smiled that the Emperor
had not thought Of 1t. He cried
81 wish that you would spin for i've hours!
He watched the top until it began to slow down,
and then when it rolled with whirl into the lee
scuppers he realized that this wish was oues~ at
least, that had effect, and then he came to the
conclusion, and the correct one too that the top
must be spun by some other force than its own.
So again he wound it up and cast it oI, the deck,
this time intending TO make a simple wish, but Just
then loud call came from the in the bow, who
yelled:
"Ship ahoyl Man-o'-war, tool"
Sam spraug into the shrouds and looked across
the rolling waves. and there, far TO the north he
saw the smoke of five ships mounting sFirally up
ward So intense had been the dread of battleships
that instantly he forgot the top, and when the ship
had been turned TO sail away south before the strong
wind, IN the desperate hope of Guiding the battle
ships, the top rolled over and lay stiH.
Sam watched the ships climb up into view and
come swiftly nearer and nearer until the Russian
flags showed what they were
Just as the nearest ship came close enough to
show many men watching them-Sam suddenly
thought of the magic top, and hurriedy winding it
he tossed it upon the deck and cried:
"NOw, if you're any good at all turn the Sister
Jane into fast steamboat
Instantly the shlver Of propeller was felt all
over the Sister Jane, and before Sam could more
than realize that the wish had come true she was
darting through the water like an arrowl The old
ship was completely transformed from stem to
stern, and Sam could see the look of astonshment
on the faces of the Russians who had been watching
them Astonishment too great to allow them to
even fire one gun at the fast-vanishing Sister Jane
for you may imagine what it would be to you to see
dingy old ship suddenly turn into a steamer before
your eyes.
Every man in the crew also pinched himself but
Sam danced up and down in delighted frenzy
It was almost two minutes before the Russian
ships put all speed and began to follow but Sam
was not at all alarmed now, for he knew that the
top understood English and was perfectly able to
take care Of them.
lie soon saw that the speed ef the Sister Jane
was far superior to that 81 any of the Russian ships
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-05-15
THEN THE GIRL HANDED HIM THE TOP

and in few minutes it plain that she was leav-
ing them so swiftly that they soon would be far out
of sight in the rear; So Sam went through the
steamship and inspected her with vast delight, for
be had always wished that his father owned just
such vessel
When at last he reached the Wheelhousc and found
Captain Breeze in q maze of astonishmeat steering
and looking back at the Russians, he shouted in
glee:
well popl What do you think Of your new
shipl'
"Yhat has happened 10 US p asked the captain
II can't believe that 1 am awake"
We've been changed into a steamship shouted
Sam, "The old Chinese top did it,"
''Ehat do you mean Z" asked his father.
"That was the magic top of Emperor Eipg that
the chink gave me when he left" replied Sam. Go
down and see it while it's spinning!'
His father left the room and Sam took the Wheel
but the captain soon came back looking startled.
But, owing to the marvellous speed made By the
Sister Jane, the Russian ships were nov tar down
in the horizon, and, it seemed, had given zap the
chase as hopeless, for the smoke not now pour
ing out of their tunnels so thickly
A few minutes more and the top fell over and
vhirled around in a spasm. The Sister Jane be-
came an old, battered ship Cgain in a twinkling,
and Sam had TO laugh when his father ran forward,
shouting:
Hi there. set her of again! We aren't safe yeti'
So again the top set going and again the
ship became q steamer while the captain stood at
the wheel with broad grim on his face, for he
knew that an hour OF two would bring him into
harbor with his cargo

the girl. 'But if you know about the box, perhaps

@And there was a string to spin it with, too"
added Sam anXiously. "WheTe is that#

the tree and said:

She leaned over and reached down with the top

rocks When she caught sight of Sam about to take
the top she cried out ohrlLy:

he went on for mile after mile without seeing
