Strange Story Of Skipper Shipwrecked

Captain $. y. IInyt. secretary of the
Masters and Pilots association of Seat

most widely known seafaring men on
the Pacific coast, has Il fund OF eXpe-
riences to draw from when he wishes
to while away an hour. Up in the big.
pleasant rooms of the association the
captain recently told the following
tale:
THE approach Of Christmas always
reminds me of the December that l
spent on an ice ship. Never heard of
one? Well, they are unusual. l was
master of the little brig Holly, and
along about the LIST Of November we
were wrecked away down south Of the
Horn. The ship went on an ice foe
and was battered all to pieces. We
did manage to save some tools and
food and part Of the cargo.
Il put the crew to work to u of a
large pinnacle Of the berg. Then I set
them all to work with axes, and We
shaped it into Il graceful ships hull.
| After that we followed 1t out inside.

regular ship. and with some of the
timber saved from VI vessel we rig
ged her as a bark, side lights and ev
erything, even going so far as to paint
her and name her the Holly. She was
a fine craft and floated like a duck
when finally launched. We spent
Christmas on board of her and had a
great time. l loaded part Of the wreck.
ed Holly's cargo in her, and we Their
started for Callao, which was our des-
tlnation.
1.-THE ice ship sailed fine and was as
good a sea boat as any in which l sail
ed. This was only. however. when We
were down south in cold water. The
nearer we got to the equator the light
er became our vessel, and l finally dis
covered that our ship was melting be
meath us. Another two days and W
would have been in the water when :

the cargo This paid for the loss o.
the vessel. which was also insured, 81

WHEN SANTA WENT ASTRAY.
Miracle Of the Loaves Repeated For
Washington's Poor.

The day of miracles has not passed.
according to the firm belief of Il hun
drcd or more poor people in Washing
ton. Last Christmas day .Almas tenn
pie OF the Shriners gave it's annual din
ner to the poor. 1t was Il well planned
affair, generously contributed to. anil
turned out Il big success. But the most
notable thing about it was not on the
programme and made the hit of the
occasion.
While the 'Shriners were feeding
100 loaves of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one of his sto-
ries there entered another big, fat San
ia Claus, carrying a colossal basket
full of bread, and behind him were
three or our negroes, also carrying
baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
| some one had sent a gift Of bread to
be distributed and signed a receipt for
the $50 loayes. In a few minutes they
were handed around to the heads Of
families. and an additional smile Of
Christmas joy went around with them.
When the festivities We're nearly
over and the crowd had begun to dis
perse a man came running In and ask
ed:
Ibid you get $50 loaves Of breadT
Eve did, was the reply.
"What did you do with it,"
"Gave it away"
"Well. that was an order from the
Carroll institute. 1t came here by
mistake. But it is all right. We arc
glad you gave it away, and II you need
more let us know" and the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied Will

Our Navv's Officers,

OuT Navy , O"CoVos
In the eyes of foreigners there are
some startling defects in the personnel
of our navy. Perhaps the principal
one is the age Of the flag officers and
captains. Not a navy in the world
numbers so many men Of advanced
years In command. All u admirals
are between sixty and sixty-two. 1t is
probable that in the event Of war last,
ing a year not one-half Of the officers
at present in command would possess
the physical yigor to remain on active
duty.
The Extreme youth and lack Of eXpe.
rience of the main part of the crews
of these ships Is another weakness.
The percentage of veterans in the com
plement Of each vessel is small. Our
b%attleships are much underotficered
with experienced subordinate officers
gun division officers particularly.
The mel-of-war Of all other nations
carry many more officers than ours
and more experienced than the Ameri
can. Youngsters now available for sucl
positions. This gap between our veter
ans and youthful mel and command
ers is due to the neglect OF congress
which permitted five years to elapst
after the Spanish American war be
fore the number Of midshipmen Wa
increased at Annapolis. - Broadwa,

THE THREE WISE MEM.
Who Were They?-A An Unsolv@d

Christmas Mystery.
One Christmas myste.'y remains un-
solved. Who were the wise mel of the
east-the magi who followed the star
of Bethlehem from afar to do homage
to the newborn Saviour?
The simple story as told in the Bible
Is one of the most familiar in Christ
mas lore. Any child could recite it in
detail. Painters and sculptOrs have
made it the theme of the most inspired
products of their brushes and chisels,
but to this day the identity Of these
wise men remains a mystery. A
search Of the great paintings in which
the subject is treated produces a be-
wilderment. There are half a hun
dred different ideas presented. The
varying versions Of the books Of the
ages are as many.
It Is fair to assume from the fact
| that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were in their
own country men Of royalty or close
to it. Herod evidently deemed it well
to treat them with Difference, for dis
quieted though he was by their news
Of the comet that was to lead them to
the birthplace Of the Redeemer he dis
sembled and told them that when they
had found the newborn he would re-
turn to worship with them.
