JOHN PAUL JONES. seafaring life.
What little schooling he possessed no
mad secured in the parish school OF
Kirxbean. After he had entered upon
his apprenticeship he learned the need
OF wider knowledge, and set out at
once to study navigation. Many tales
were told OF the intensity with which
the boy studied In every hour that he
could spare from his work.
Just as young Jones was advancing
out Of the apprenticeship his master
failed In business. Jones sailed for
America. On the voyage the captain
and the mate died Of fever, and Jones
assumed the command Of the shin.
bringing 1t safely into harbor. This
entitled him to papers at once, and he
started out on his career as a sailing
master.
The rest Of his life is a matter Of
national history. Through it all Jones
displayed the same courage, the same
way OF overcoming all obstacles, the
same determination that had character
lied his endeavors to obtain a knowl-
edge OF navigation when boy.

chiefly about the mouths OF rivers, and
which enters the streams to spawn,
running for a considerable distance up
the stream and returning to the sea
after the act Of spawning is accom-
plished, says a writer in the Pacific
Monthly. The old males become some
