And yet during the voyage he worried
more about his trunk and gave him
self more airs about 30, than AN the
rest of the passengers put together. If
the ship was down by the head" and
would not steer. he would go and
move his trunk" further aft. and
then watch the effect If the ship was
/ by the stern" he would suggest to
Columbus to detail some men to shift
/ that baggage In storms he had TO
/ Doe gagged, because his wailings about

men TO hear the orders The man
! does not appear to have been openly
charged with any gravely unbecomng

| the ship in a newspaper, he took IL
! ashore i'm four trunks, a queensWare
crate and "a couple Of champagne bas-
! kets. But when he came back insinu-
| ating i'm an insOlent, staggering way,
| that some Of his things were missing
/ and was going to search the other pas

! they threw him overheard. They
watched long and wonderingly for him
! TO come up. but not even a bubble rose
on the quietly ebbng tide. But while
! every one was most absorbed I'm gazing
over the side, and the interest was mo-
mentarily increasing, it was observed
| with CONSERVATION that the vessel was
| adrift and the anchor cable hanging
! limp from the bow. Then in the ships
| dimmed and ancient log we find this
quaint none:
In time it was discovered vt We

J down and got We anchor, and toke we
scame and solde it to ye dam sauvages
| from We interior saying vt he hadde
founde ii, We some Of a ghun."
Yet this ancestor had good and noble
Instincts, and it is with pride that we
call to mind the fact that he was the
first white person who ever interested
himself IN the work Of elevating and
civilizing our Indians. He built a
commodlous Jail and put up gallows,
and to ais dying day he claimed with
satisfaction that he had had a more
restraining and elevating influence on
the Indians than any other reformer
that ever labored among them. At
this point the chronicle becomes less
frank and chatty, and closes abruptly
by saying that the old Voyager went
to see his gallows perform on the
first white man ever hanged In Amer-
ca, and while there received injuries
which terminated in his death.
The great-grandson Of the reform
er" nourished I'm sixteen hundred and
something, and was known in our an
nails as the old admiral though I'm
! history he had Other titles. He was
long in command Of fleets Of swift YES
sells, well armed and manned and did
great service in hurrylng up merchant
men. Vessels which he followed and
kept his eagle eye on always made
good fair time across the ocean. But
| If ship still lOtered I'm spite of all he
could do, his Indignation would grow
| till he could contain himself no longer
and then he would take that ship
home where he lived and keep it there
carefully, expecting the owners to come
for it, but they never did. And he
would try to get the idleness and sloth
out of the sailors Of that ship by COM
! polling them to take invigorating eXer-
else and bath He called It walking
! the plank" All the pupils liked it.
At any rate, they never found any
! fault with it after trying it. When
! the owners were late coming for their
ships the admiral always burned them
so that the insurance money should not
| be lost At last this fine old tar was
cut down in the fullness Of his years
and honors And to her dying day his
poor heart-broken widow believed that
| if he had been cut down fifteen minutes
sooner ne might have been resuscitat-
ed.
Charles Henry Twain lived during
the latter part Of the seventeenth CEN
fury and was a jealous and distin-
guished missionary He converted six
teen thousand South Sea Islanders,
and taught them that a dog-tooth neck
lace and a pair of spectacles was not
enough clothing to come to divine
service In. His poor flock loved him
very, very dearly; and when his fun
eral was over they got up In body
| (and came out Of the restaurant) with
tears in their eyes, and saying, one
| to another, that he was a good, tender
missionary, and they wished they had
some more of him.
