astern-but say, that old hooker was q
total wreck. The seas would board '1s
with every roll, and wash her from stem 10
stern. The boats which had been secured
in the checks amidships were smashed TO
smithereens. The quarter boats on the
davits were to all appearances In gooo
condition. but it was worse than useless TO
attempt to lower them
ITO make matters worse, when soundi7gs
were taken we found that the old tub
had sprung leak. SO It was all hands to
the pumps. 1t was heart-breaking work
trying to keep that rotten old hulk aho-t.
We pumped and pumped, but it was no use.
The water steadily gained on us, and
saw that 1t was only matter of few
hours until she foundered The captain saw
that our efforts were useless. and he or
dered US aft to clear away the quarter
boats. 1t was a desperate chance.
We lowered the weather boat first. She
was safely in the water. but before she
could get clear a huge sea broke over her.
rand she was dashed against the ships side
and crushed like an egg shell. The bal
ance of us had clambered into the lee boat
and by hard work managed to get her clear
OF the ship, and only just in time. We
were hardly at a safe distance when an

ward plunge. and down she went, stem
first.
'"The boat was overaden and we found
our condition terrible. The seas broke
over us continually We made grating
fast to the boats painter and hove 1t over
the side. 1t acted as sea anchor, and
kept her head up to the sea, but still t
requiring constant baling to keep our fraii
craft afioat Night settled down and our
condition was even worse. Sleep was out
of the question, and we felt vastly re-
lieved as we saw the first sign of dawn.
During the night the wind had modera led
somewhat. and the sea had gone down con-
siderably.
"At daybreak we saw the loom Of land
in the distance. We dragged in the graf
ing and headed for the island. as 1t proved
to be. 1t was late in the afternoon before
we reached it. The sea was running so
high that it was madness to attempt q
landing, but we skirtcd the island, and,
coming to a small cove. or bay, the captain
decided to make the trial: anything was
better than another night in the open boat
We had almost succeeded In making the
beach when big sea came rushing toward
Us. Before we could get the boat head
on 1t hroke over US, the boat capsized and
We we're all thrown into the water. My
head struck projecting rock, sight and
sound were merged into utter darkness
and thought the end had come.

NAL, with not enough power to run the vital
organs and do the usual work. One quits
work and sends for doctor. The doctor
gives him stimulating drugs which arouse
the low reserve forces into a frenzy Of &C
ton. The drugs arouse and use the vital
forces, but do not create more. The reac-
ton makes one weaker. 1t is like whipping

them up quickly, but does not create more
Whipping beyond the normal strength will

A COINCIDENCE.
Peculiar Combination of Events Re-
lated by Andrew Lana.

Peculiar Combination of Events Re-
lated by Andrew Lang.
AS to 1.-THE long arm of coincidence"
it may be as long as is necessary.
Nothing is impossible to coincidence
An instance Of my own experience,
said Andrew Lang. convinces me Of
this fact. l had been reading a foolish
book, "Out of the Hurry Burly," and
some Of the rhymes ran in my head.
They began:
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In a beautiful hole in the ground.
In the afternoon drove with a par
ty of friends, and we took the refresh
ment Of tea at a house where there
were several other guests, all unknown
to me even by name. AS two Of these
lived at place on our homeward
route. they accompanied us in our We,
hicle. AS we passed wood on hill
side one of these anonymous strangers
said to me, This is the burial place Of
the Murrays Of Glendhubreac." 1 alb
sently and automatically replied:
Bury Bartholomew out In the woods
In q beautiful hole in the ground.
A kind Of chill blight settled on the
party. though one Of them tactfully
asked me what poet l was quoting.
When we had set down our two
strangers at their own home / was
asked whether knew the name Of the
gentleman on whom | had expended
my poetical quotation? OF course did
aot know. and OF course his surname
vas Bartholomew, while, as he seemed
In Tad health. my citation had an air
Of brutal appropriateness. THUS does
fortune banter us, for Bartholomew

You can't be we'll if you have a
weak, unhealthy, tired out stomach.
Neither can you feel good if by some
little irregularity in eating you have
caused the stomach to get out OF or
der. These little stomach troubles
are signs of indigestion, which may
and very often does turn into very
bad case of dyspepsia. Don't allow
this to go on a single day without
doing something to overcome it
Take some good reliable and safe di-

KODOL is the best remedy known
