signal for the last time and waved It
to and fro.
Then he saw the other dorymen
wave something back and steer their
boats toward him. The stimulating
influence of their acknowledgment
was so great that he leaped on the
maudlin figure in the bow and tried
to rouse him to realization OF the
most wonderful event in the world.
The youth answered him with faint
indifference The boy was very pal

Later, on board the Flora S. Nick
erson, the older rescued trawler drank
endless quantities of water. Eventu-
ally he said to his rescuers:
"What day of the week is it?'
They answered: "Saturday-Satur-
day afternoon. When were yos lost
in the fog?"
He answered: "On Tuesday
don't remember what year."
The other fishermen counted rapid
ly on their fingers, and then they
gasped:
Zone hundred and two hours
God!''
In a nearby bunk the pallid youth
babled continuously. When they
brought him into Boston the other
day and sent him to the hospital he
was still babbling.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE OF A FISH
ERMAN OFF COAST OF
NOVA SCOTIA.
five DAYS WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER
Mind of Youthful Companion Gives Way
Captain Matheson Prevents Murder
and Suicide Until They Are
Finally Rescued.

Halifax.-Afioat on the limitless ex-
panse of ocean OFF Browns banks. the
Nova Scotia fishing ground, for over 100
hours in little dory, and with COM
panion craZed through lack of food and
drink, such was the awful situation
experienced by Charles Matheson, a
Boston fisherman, recently.
MatheSon with Frederick Hemmeon,
a youthful Nova Scotian, had left the
fishing schooner Quonnapowitt and
gone TRAVELLING. When they finally filled
their dory near shutdown and were
about to return, their vessel was no.
where in sight. They studied the rim
of the universe with great care, but they
could not see her. So far as they were
concerned she did not exist.
So the younger man threw out the an
Choir and made himself restful in the
bow and watched the waves undulating
lazily out of the clouds of mist, into the
small world, and then into the mists
again.
A moment later he said he guessed he
would doze awhile, since there were no
signs of the schooner.
Keep awake" answered the older
man sharply. you'll take cold If you
sleep in this dampness."
But Hemmeon protested that he would
sleep only a short time. The other man
commanded him to sprinkle some water
on his face and swing his arms vigorous
ly. The older man had been to sea during
the past 80 years; the younger man only
three years. So the latter obediently
sprinkled his face with the cold brine
and exercised, and presently he said he
was wide awake again.
The First Night.
Hemmeon said the fog was growing
thicker. The older man corrected him
with considerable sternness. He said
night was coming. He told the younger
man to swing his arms whenever he fel
drowsy and cold. Several times during
the early part of the evening the youth
rose in the bow and exercised; later, he
lay still so long that his dory mate
grabbed an oar and prodded him and
ordered him peremptorily to keep
awake.
Always they listened for the foghorn,
and the youth often wondered what had
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-03-23

We ought to hear that thing by and by.
And maybe the fog will blow away"
On the Boundless Ocean.
To the younger man it was incom-
prehensible what had become of the
Quonnapowitt. He had thought she
lay to the westward, but the longer
he gazed at the exasperating western
horizon the less he thought of his
original theory. At first he suggested
that they row in that direction. But
the older man argued that because
the breeze came from the northeast,
and because the schooner had proba-
bly, changed her position during the
preceding "a hours, they ought to row
southwesterly, with the wind. He told
the young man that that course would
undoubtedly lead them into fleet of
fishing smacks or into the path of
other craft The younger man as
scented.
The older man advised him to take
the oars and row, and added that he
would relieve him after half hour.
The younger man finally became
very weary and hungry and sleepy.
Now and then his head dropped on his
breast and lay there until the man in
the stern prodded him roughly with
an oar, whereupon the young man
slowly awoke and showed much an
ger. Sometimes his friend spoke to
him brusquely and sometimes he
pleaded with him. The young man
continued to complain. He said he
was hungry enough to eat leather. He
wished to eat some of the remaining
fish in the bottom of the boat. The
older man ordered him to leave them
alone, and, to make certain that he
complied, he picked them up, one by
one, and threw them overheard. The
young man said he had already eaten
one, and when the other man scolded
him he laughed loudly.
Youths Mind Deserts Him.
But by and by the laugh became
shrek and the. complaints incoher-
emit. To check the delirium, the older
man splashed cold water on the burn
ing face. These ministrations restored
his friend to temporary sanity. But
presently the older man was so busy
trying to manipulate the dory in the

Will Sue for T 'xes.

ST. Paul-when the attorney gener-
ais department brings suit against the
Great Western to collect the per cent
tax for 1906. it will also sue for an
additional per cent on the gross earn
ings for every year from 1896 to 1904
inclusive. The road has never paid
more than per cent on it's main line,
and the state contends that 1t should
have paid per cent under the general
law.
The amount involved will be over
100000, and would be larger If the
state could go back farther than 1896.
The statute of limitations used to run
against the state in collection Of taxes,
outlawing everything over years old.
In 1902 the legislature abolished it, so
everything from 1896 down can be
reached. The 1902 law may be chal-
lenged, however, because the title
makes it apply only to real estate taxes.
and railroads are in part personal prop
erty.
