old. At that time he would bold
sailor be. He had read all the marvel.
GUS tales of the sea and his ambition
was to sail the ocean blue in command
Of a stanch craft that would carry
him to the uttermost parts of the
earth. He was permitted by his gov
erness to spend much time about the
wharves of New York and he thus be-
came personally acquainted with many
of the most famous shippers of that
time. Chief among his heroes was a
certain Captain Doane, commander of
the clipper ship Rival

A case Of the rejection of a young
woman from Michigan is cited be-
cause she was not tall enough for her
width to meet the requirements, al
though her percentage in other direc-
lions was said to have been high. 1t
is explained that 1t is necessary for q
