houseboat means after the initial ex-
pense.
The latter need not be excessive,
but may depend on the purse of the
owner.
You can have the most luxurious
triple decker imaginable, or your ''wa-
ter cottage may be one story trans
formed scow.
One thing is common to all house
boats-striped awnings and boxes of
flowers. At night the deck is illu-
mined with Japanese lanterns.
Windows are plentiful There is
spacious kitchen and all the bedrooms
one wants.
The more advanced houseboats have
power for cruising. but the smaller
ones are anchored to one spot and are
either poled or taken in tow when a
fresh anchorage is desired.
A sheltered inlet harbor or river
makes the ideal spot for craft of
this sort, and by means of the row
boat one can easily land and visit
ones friends. The broad decks make
ideal places for the women of the fam
lily to read and embroider on hot aft
ernOOnS.
Windows are plentiful and should
be provided with green blinds and
stout muslin curtains. Life preServ-
ers are hung at intervals between the
windows in case some venturesome
spirit falls overheard.
Those who enjoy nature and want to
sconomize on purse and nerves should
certainly try hOuseboating.

pretty wife, possessed of thou

Well, come out on the piazza. We
have a fine view Of the bay there, and l
love to listen to the roar of the surf.
It reminds me of old times, you know.
Light a fresh cigar. You have nothing
like them ia the states, l can assure
you of that. And now for my yarn.
MANY years ago 1 was chief mate
on board ofga down east brig engaged
in the South American trade. The
captain was good enough at heart, but
he did love gold dollar so much that
the passion of avarice at times warped
the better and prevailing instincts Of
his nature.
VAS young, careless and free, with
out a soul living could claim as kin,
and as happy in my lone state as you
can we'll imagine. I had but little
responsibility on my shoulders, the
skipper taking entire control, even to
details.
We were to the southwark Of the
eventful night in question, which was
truly an era in my life. had the first
watch. The wind was light and the
ocean as calm as though asleep.
We had all our light kites set to woo
the gentle breeze, running through the
water not over three knots an hour.
Absorbed in my own thoughts and re-
Elections, l was leaning idly over the
, taffrail watching the bubbles and phos-
phorescent light playing about the rest
less rudder when a touch on my arm
from the man at the wheel brought
me to myself.
''What do you call that, sir?" he in
quired, pointing over the quarter.
| gazed in the direction pointed out
by the man and, to my intense sur
prise, saw a bright light, not unlike a
, ball of fire, which threw lurid, tremu-
lous light across the dark waters.
1T can't be the moon, sirT' said the
seaman, with an inquiring look.
''The moon rising in a quarter bear

John Watkins, and I'll rouse out the
captain at once"
| In another instant l was rapping in
no gentle manner at the shippers state
room, who turned out in hurry.
''What-what is the matter?" he
stammered, rubbing his eyes. us there
a squat coming?'
''No, sir; it's as pretty a night as
ever saw. But, Captain Thompson,
there is a vessel on fire to leeward of
US. and 1 will, If you say so, run down
to her assistance
I'm be on deck in moment. Don't

grumbling to himself, l regained the
deck

as to bear before it, and the next in
slant the hurricane burst upon us in
all its fury.
The Shrek of the tempest drowned
my voice. The oars were dashed from
the sailors hands, while they in ter
ror threw themselves down in the bot
tom of the boat.
In an agony of terror Marie chung
to me, while I with all my strength
and skill maraged to keep the boat
dead before the gale.
On rushed the frail structure through
the murBy darkness, enveloped in a
whirl of foam which half blinded me
as the salt spray filed my eyes. The
wafer was torn up by Barrelfuls and
hurled with cutting force and violence
through the air.
Drenched to the skin, with the deli
cate girl crouching by my side wrap
ped up in all the spare coats could
muster, | kept watch during the long
hours OF that eventful night.
How we ever escaped destruction
merciful Providence alone can tell, but
with daylight the fierce gale showed
signs of abating. and by noon we were
sailing upon a summer sea. A rough
temporary sail had been rugged and
the boats head directed toward the
land. for, of course, we had given up
all hope of seeing the brig, for awhile
at least. If we would be saved we
had got to rely upon our own re-
sources. Carefully / dealt out slim
allowance of bread and water from
the scanty supplies which were in
the stern sheets, cautioning the men
to make the precious fluid go as far
as possible.
/ could enlarge upon the sufferings
we endured, tell you about the calm
days which succeeded, how the scorch-
ing rays of the sun beat down upon
our heads and how the men with noble
generosity surrendered their few drops
of water to the pale, suffering woman,
who never murmured once, though her
brain was all but on fire and her
tongue parched and swollen in her
mouth.
You can imagine my feelings when
the last crumb of bread was exhausted
and the beaker had been drained dry.
Death in it's most terrible form, with
the attending horrors of hunger and
thirst, stared us in the face, and /
groaned in anguish as / gazed upon
the now inanimate form Of the poor
girl She was dying perhaps dead
already-and l stretched myself by
her side to meet the fate / was power
less to avert.
Well, we were picked up shortly
after by a Brazilian fishing boat,
placed aboard a man-of-war cruising
on the coast, and the surgeon soon
had us under his care. Strange TO
say, none of us succumbed to the
privations we had undergone, but we
all recovered to congratulate one an
other upon our escape. The Senior
Jose Gonzales fairly Rugged me in his
delight at the escape of his daughter
and insisted upon my making his resi-
dence my home. The men were re-
warded by him beyond their most san
guine hopes, and I-welI, | rewarded
myself by marrying the fair heiress,
and when her father died few years
ago 1 assumed full control OF the es-
tates.
AS for the old brig and Captain
Thompson, neither was ever seen or
heard from after the terrible storm
which swept the coast Of South Amer
lea, strewing its shores with the'wreck
of many a noble craft.
