 Tom Stevens wanted to be in the swim, so he bought gasolene boat, and got himself there in short order. He bought the launch Zenith, and ac- quired the art of navigation, by other than the ash breeze to which he had been accustomed, in single day, under the tuition of the man from he made the purchase, or least, thought he had acquired the art along with the boat Then as he sailed, as he sailed, along with companion whom he had invit- ed to ride with him across the stormy water, he was overtaken by night, real dark night at that, in the narrows, and cast anchor near the spindle. It was not only dark night, (WeGnes- day) but just little uncomfortably cool as well and closing the curtains to keep out the cold, Tomuel and his companion tlopped over on the seats and went to sleep. Later the boat listed to one side, and Tomuel in shifting his position managed to drop his check book and some other papers from his pocket, and in his eagerness to recover them lit match, and in an instant he and his companion were envIoped in flames caused by the ig- niton of the gas which had been gen. erated while they slept. Thomas got out into the demnition cold water on one side without asking the permis- sion of his companion who slid into the briny on the other. They, chiefly the companion, succeeded in eXtin- gushing the flames before any serious damage to the boat was done, and came back into port under tow the next day. But then because Tom came so near going there himself is hardly good and sufficient excuse for the invitation he extends to everybody who asks him about it.
