our own country-but in a moment he smiled
grimly, and resumed his walk
Know you this harbor?" the officer asked,
pointing to the chart, which, to Fred's wide
eyed astonishment, was most excellent one
of Mt. Desert, cor what place to anchor it
hafH
There's anywhere from ten to twenty faith
ON in the lower harbor," said Fred, "and the
best Of holding ground"
Can you take sheep in dere in daytime ?"
was the next question.
"Yes, sir; or night either" replied Fred,
with what may seem considerable self-assur-
ance.
Yet the truth is the entrance to Southwest
Harbor is so well defined by buoys and lights
that it is uncommonly easy of access, and
once within the outer harbor, the depth of
water makes it very simple matter to find
a safe anchorage. Then they began to talk
together rapidly and with many gestures, af
ter which the commander signaled the engi-
neer, and soon the engines were started and
the steamer under way.
Fred ran to the end of the bridge to look
after the safety of his boat, but it had been
hoisted in on deck, where it was surrounded
by jabbering throng of heavy featured men
in navy rig
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-25

This was eminently satisfactory, and only for
knowing the terrible anxiety Of his Uncle
Tom, Fred would have enjoyed the situation
hugely. But there being no help, he resolved
to make the best of it.
The officer, who was one Lieutenant Powl
zki now took Fred below, where in a splendid
ly-furnished messroom, they sat down, with
FIVE others, to a table loaded with luxuries. :,
After conducting Fred through the grand
saloon, with its polished tables, its handsome
pictures, and wonderful bronze statues, almost
life size they returned to the deck.
Taking pair of binocular glasses-for, en-
couraged by his friendly treatment, Fred had
begun to make himself very much at home
he examined the horizon ahead, the command
ant watching him from under his shaggy eye
brows with grim amusement.
"Surely," he said, III his own language, to
his first officer, these boys of America have
wonderful intelligence and selfconf-
dence."
And the other assented in a most emphatic
manner; which conversation was afterward
repeated to Fred by Lieutenant Powhki, to
that youths great delight.
"Mt. DESERT" suddenly exclaimed Fred,
handing the glass, with polite bow, to the
eommandant who nodded, and looked steadily
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-25

And all at once it occurred to the thorough
ly astonished Fred that his strange, unfamiliar
language must be Russian although goodness
only knows how he guessed it.
"Look here!" he said, marching up to the
interpreting oficer-for Master Fred had a
very plucky spirit of his own-"you tell the
captain there that he needn't think that he
can make prisoner of freebom American
boy on the high seas and Iot be answerable
to our government. They'll have gunboat
after him in no time, if he isn't careful"
Which, | think, under all the circumstances,
was rather imprudent speech. But, then,
one of Fred's besetting sins was that he didn't
always stop to think.
With half-concealed smile, the young man
interpreted Fred's TRADE to his superior Off
Ger, who stared, stamped. pulled his grizzly
mustache, and then roared with laughter, at
which, of course, the others, as in duty bound,
laughed too.
1T is all WE'LL" said the interpreter, at
length; "the commandant bids TO say Amari-
cans are to us friend We haf keep you to
