How to Pass Hatteras.

The late Senator Vest of Missouri
was fond of telling a story regarding
a friend of his who was in terrible
dread of the ordeal involved in pass
ing Cape Hatteras. The man was a
confirmed victim of seasickness, and
while he made many trips on the
ocean, he always looked with fear to
that period of time when the vessel
would be passing the tumultuous sea
in and around Hatteras. Returning
from one of his trips. he announced
with joy a cure for the dreaded Hat
teras period.
What is it?' asked a friend.

within twenty miles of Hatteras | or

astonishment. why, there was no

stabbed, Do you want me TO cover

With hoarse cry, Rothsar flung his
sword back to his sheath, recoiling-

follows: THE Rhode Island Reds
