CHAPTER VII.

CHAPTER VII
Hullo! what is the matter with the
lightship?" cried Tom. as suddenly
from her deck a rocket shot up In the
air, and then a blue light was burned.
The CHASTITY glare of the latter soon
showed him what had happened. The
Bramble was adrift, and was signaling
for assistance 10 the pilot steamer Cap
tam Cook, which was always stationed
with steam up at Watson's bay, just
inside the Inner South Head In a
rev seconds an answering rocket made
a red, curved line of fire through the
bIackness, and then, as Tom noticed
the direction from which it came, a
sudden fear smote him, as the startling
fact was borne in upon him that he
must be right in mid-channeI, and in
half an hour would be between Sydney
Heads.
To reach Watson's bay beach now
was impossible, for he was abreast of
1t ana had only one scull; to make sail
on the boat and try to beat up to it
IN such a sea meant capsiZing in a
few minutes, and TO bear away to port
meant being dashed away to death
against the great grim cliff of North
Head.
Il must stick to the boat" he thought
somewhat despairingly, knowing what
a heavy sea he would encounter lit
tie further on.
Then another blue light was burned
by the lightship, and answered by a
second rocket from the steamer, now
hastening to her assistance, and Toms
spirits rose. The pilot steamer would
pass pretty close to him, and would
very likely see him, and every now
and then he glanced astern in the hope
of seeing her lights; then he had to
give his attention to his steering, for
now the boat was rising and falling to
the rollers of the Pacific as they came
sweeping in through the Heads.
Ten anxious minutes passed, and
then he saw the steamers mast head
light shining through the inky dark
ness; but, alas, she was half a mile
away and was steaming straight for
North Head, towards which the Bram-
| BILE was drifting. and then Toms heart
sank within him.
Every now aud then the great flash
light on Outer South Head would send
| a streak of white across the tumbling
blackness between the Heads, but he
had little hope of its rays revealing
the boat to human eyes, except that
| by some luck the lookout on some in
| coming steamer should see it, He
prayed silently for sueeor. and then,
as II in response to his appeal to the
Power above, there came a gradual but
nevertheless unmistakeable IulI in the
force Of the wind, and he thought no

smart little boat of yours"
Yes, sir. She was built by Locke
Of Balmain and cost nearly fifty
pounds She is beautifully titted up
and rugged"
All, Well, I'll have her hoisted in"
And leaning over the bridge, ne called
out: 'Bo'sun,. hoist that boat aboard.
Wen take her and this young gentle
man back to Sydney. he was blown
out to sea"
Aye, aye, SIR was the reply. And
then, to Toms intense satisfaction, the
boat was hoisted up and lowered on the
foredeck.
There, my young friend" said the
big man affably, there is your boat,
ali safe and sound, and you need not
worry about her Now come into my
cabin and have something TO warm
you up. Then you had better turn in
and get some rest. The engineers
won't have that steam pipe fixed for
the next three hours or so, and no one
will disturb you in my cabin
Tom followed him down the bridge to
his cabin, and, at the captains request,
related his adventures since o'clock
that evening, adding that he hoped his
aunt and sister would think that he
was still in Sydney, having decided to
remain there all night on account of
the ''southerly" lasting so long.
The big man nodded and lit a cigar.
"Oh, well, Miss, Miss-what is the
lady's name?"
"Denison-she is my fathers sister.
We live at Crows Nest over Sirius
Cove
Miss Denison will soon be satisfied
that you are all right. But you have
had a narrow squeak"
Yes, and I was thinking only just
now that perhaps, after all, 1 might
not have been able to anchor in Blue
Fish bay. I have only ten fathOms of
kellick line, and the water is quite that
depth, even close in to the rocks"
Just so. It is an i'll wind that blows
no one any good. If we had not burst
a steam pipe and had to stop. you
might have anchored at Blue Fish and
lost your boat-Derhaps your life as
well. Now 1 must go and see the en-
gineers, But see you are wet
through" He touched the bell, and a
man appeared. He was most unlike
an ordinary steward, being dressed
like an ordinary seaman, with the adj
dition of sea boots
Sam, can't you get this young gen
tleman a change of clothes from some
one?"

his fat chin. "Pajamas, Sam"

It's on the Queensland border, isn't
it?''
Yes, Just on the border" replied the
captain, as he rose. Fine river, but a
very bad bar Now, goodnight
Ten minutes later, when Tom was
sound asleep, the skipper re-entered
his cabin, looked intently at the SUM
bering youth with a not unkindly ex-
preston, and then, turning out the
light, went on the bridge again, and
whistled down to the engine room.
How much longer are you going TO
be, Clancy2 In Gods name, hurry
up" And then he paced angrily TO
and fro on the bridge.
Two minutes later the chief engineer
assembled to the bridge.

minutes, and then I'll drive her for all

than we can. But hurry, Clancy,

A quarter of an hour passed. and
then the paddle wheels of the Warrlgal
began TO revolve, and the big man,
with sigh Of relief, turned to the
sailor at the wheel.

But presently the engines stopped.

a quarter of hour returned with a

with onions, tomatoes, and kettle of
strong black tea.

Drying the Hair.

More important perhaps than the washing is the drying of the hair. This should He done with warm. soft towels. Never use Turkish towels as they gre very apt to tangle the hair and catch it n their meslles, thus pull ing it out. They gre more apt also to leave lint on the hair than are towels with Il smooth surface. Always dry your hair. if possible. in the sun. as this gives, gloss and sheen that can be obtainccss in no other way. Let the direct rays shine unon it and never pl.t it up until it is as dry as before you washed 1t. In drying the hair it is well to grasp it by the ends and shake it, as n this way the moisture is more quickly eYaporated.

3EECHER KNEW THAT
CREEDS WERE DRY.

Becher's sermons were also very simple, very natural, and very healthy anl streae. They palsatea with life; they had the yisor of bright red blood in then1. the grip of vitality, because, like Christ's, they grew out of doors. He got them everywhere from life and nature. He picked them up in the marlet-place, on Wall street, in the stores. He got them from the brakeman, the mechanic, the blacksmith tue day laborer, the
 newsbpy, the train conductor, the clerk, the lawyer, the physician, and the business man.
 He did not watch the progress Of the great human battle from his study as many other clergymen did. He went into the thick of the fight him. self. He was in the smoke and din. Where the battle of life ragged fiercest, there ne was SIuuylnS US great plou- lems. Now it was the problem of slavery; again the problem of govern ment, or commerce or education whatever touched the lives of men, He kept his hand upon the pulse of events He was in the swim of things. The great, busy, ambitious world was everywhere throbbing for him.
 He did not have much faith in creeds, but he had great faith in the divinity of man. He knew that creeds were dry, and that they lacked the sweetness and juice which satisfy the longing heart. He found that they did not speak to mans wants; that they did not fit everyday needs; that people went to churches longing to be fed. but that they often went away still hungry for the bread of life.
