Bisbee daily review., 1907-07-18

land all right Pm not the man. says, to play no cheap jokes The officer says something more about imperdence, but the cap'n, who
 was a man of sense as we'll as eddi 1 cation, asks if I was in earnest an says if he didn't want to foller in sight of me all he'd got to do was te let me git out of sight an the way would be made plain to him, an then jest laid a course that would take him to a pint off'n the mouth of the harbor an I sailed away. When got to good place where he could turn an run in I put about myself an run up and off'n the breakwater an leggo anchor. We hadn't more got thing snugged up some abore I see that | warship come poking along after us He'd got in all right, an a little while afterward a boat come alongside an the officer in charge give me the compliments of the cap'n with an in. vitation to come on board. Naturally I went. an when me an the cap'n of that warship was in his cabin with somethin' warmin' beside us he says to me:
 "Cap'n,' he says, I have to thank you fer a new aid ter navigation. You, sir he says, you, sir, have de, vised a new method of maxim naviga. tion easy, but if carried out 1t would make the ocean so unpleasant that I doubt if shall report it to my depart ment.'
 Thank ye kindly, sir says. Tn glad that you got in without takin' a pilot. Permit me to say I says tryin' ter be perlite and genteel as the cap'n himself, that you are a fine sailor, sir, because why? Because you know how to take advantage of the aids which is pervided for the mari. ner,' says.
 With that he says it would give him pleasure to send on board the Polly Ann a slight recognition of his sense of obligation. Them was his words, a slight recognition of his sense of obligation an I says that if it took the form of that We was then enjOyin' I should feel that I was well paid. He says that he thought it would be at least pleasanter to a man who follered his nose than my own guide to the sailor, an then we ex- changed the compliments of the day | ASih l lOOh lcdNS. "Gli, guess that was about all there was to it."
 But how could he get into port if he couldn't see you?" someone asked. "Humph! He could hear" said Cap'n Sol.
 You'll have to guess agin. Sol,'' said Cap'n Zekiel. Didn't I tell you that sound warn't no guide in that be- cause it seemed to come from every direction but the right one?"
 Well. what in thunder did it then? asked the mystified Captain Sol.
 "Phosphate,'1 said Zekiel, with a chuckle. She was loaded with some of that patent fertilizer, an I jest smashed in barrel of the stuff and set it on deck. In that damp it did smell powerful. The course of the old Polly Ann was marked as plain as If there had been row of lighthouses an fog signals there. That smell was so powerful that there was a line of it from Off'n old Orchard to the point where I turned Off'n the harbor. The cap'n told me that when he found that his ship was gettin' off'n the course he put neT round an come back till he found that smell agin an followed it right into the harbor. He said that turnin' pint was as plain as a street corner with a lamp post onto it. Ye see the fog was so heavy that the smell of that phosphate jest hung where twas left by the old Polly Ann.
 "Ye ought to take out a paytent on that scheme" said Cap'n Sol.
 Well, I have thought some ot it." replied Cap'n Zekiel, but I hain't a-goin' to do it till get through my coastin' days. I kinder like the sea, an I don't want it all smelIin' of phospate, an then agin if everybody went into the scheme there would be so many smells that shippers might be more liable to get mixed up than they be now, but that navy man was a man of eddication. He didn't have sea hoss sense, but his eddication didn't prevent his putin faith in man that did"
