The Columbia will ship between 800

for some time and as 1t now looks
the Alpine will probably average five
tons a day for several weeks TO come.
with these increases in estimated
tonnage and a prospect of the Seven

In the Northwestern part OF the United
States, and especially in the Yellowstone, VA
tional Park, curlews are exceedingly plentiful.
During many journeys through the Yellow
stone Park, always found curlews in the
greatest numbers in the marshy swampy
parts, where worms, bugs and insects were
to be had in abundance.
One day, while crossing the Lower Geyser

miniature mudsprihgs were bubbhng forth

marshy place covered with rank grasses and
thick with weeds, which had the appearance
of being anything else but the habitation OF
living creatures.
All at once from the ground arose a cloud
of life, accompanied by tremendous flutter,

ner; still the scene was interesting, and took
advantage of it to make a few investigations.
The place was simply vast nesting place
for curlews. l walked around upon the
4reaeherous ground and found thousands Of
eggs and countless nests; but the latter were
simply apologies for the name, as they con-
sisted of nothing more than few bits of
straw and grass scraped together and lodged
anywhere on the open ground.
The eggs were exceedingly curious in color,
formation and situation. They were a sort
of brownish-green, splashed with blotches and

and, astonishing to say, there were but four
in each nest and in every instance the eggs
were placed with their small ends together.
/ walked over this immense broodingground
for more than an hour and examined hum

the small ends together.
| gathered up few and carried them back
to camp, where we had them for supper; but
they were coarse, rank and fshy, and not at
all palatable eating.
At certain seasons of the year the plains
and marshes of Idaho, Montana and Dakota
are great resorts for members of the curlew
family; but these northern birds of a
different type from their cousins of the south,
for the latter have the distinctive long, or
sickle-bill, and seldom breed or migrate north.
The Montana and Dakota curlews are a
closely allied but different species from the
'sickle-bills. To be sure, they have very long
bills, but somewhat of a different pattern,
being much straighter and shorter than those
of their southern neghbors.

scriptions and details of the land, country,
animals and inhabitants are as true today as
they were then.
Texas is the true home of the long-billed
curlew. He breeds and feeds all the year
round in the far southwest and is seldom
found north of Mason and Dixon's line. His
general color and plumage in this latitude are
much better, and his flesh is finer favored
and more delicate than that of the northern
rangers: He wades in the marshes, pokes his
long bill down into the water and picks out
small fish and insects for his diet.
When such is not to be had, then he feeds
on grasshoppers, worms, bugs and peculiar
berry called the curlew berry.
Since this portion of the United States has
become better settled, regular trade has
sprung up in curlew wings which are export
ed for millinery purposes.
An Eastern lady came to Texas few years
ago, and when some curlews were brought
in by local sportsmen, she noticed that the
wings were rather pretty, as they are
brownsh green, with splashes of dark brown
and darker green handsomely distributed over
the feathers.
She suggested that few samples be sent
East to prominent milliner, and an order
came back for all that could be procured.
Cow boys now, in addition to their range
work, bag all the curlews they can, clip the
wings for expectation, and then send the birds
to market. where they are bought up by hotels
and boarding houses

backed till the ship is still in the water
Generally, the lee life.buoy is dropped as
soon as the cry is heard, although trained
lookout will look over the side, and not pull
the lanyard until the man is close under the
stern. A lookout is always stationed at the
life-buoys, which are hung one on each quar-
ter.
simultaneously with the orders for reducing
sail, heaving-to and dropping the buoy, the
officer Of the deck sends the ifeboats crew
to their boat. The two quarter boats are
usually left swung out, with their tackles
cooled down on deck ready for lowering.
The gripes, or broad sennit- bands that go
around the boat and hold it fast against the
davits at sea. are fitted with quickaction

cast off.
The regular crew for the lifeboat in each
watch quickly scramble into the lee quarter
boat, prepare their oars for use, and tend the
patent unlocking device, if there is one. The
coxswain prepares to ship his steering oar, and
the plug is put in.

In the old-time navy the only way that
could be depended on for teaching the sea
men how to swim was to hang topmast
stu'nsail from the outer end of the lower
stu'nsail boom. the inner end supported from
the forechains in a CURVE with about four feet
depth of water in the belly of the sail.
In this shallow space the beginners could
venture and learn from the experienced swim
mers. This arrangement is imperative in
waters where sharks are plentiful, since the
sail is sufficient to keep the man-eaters off, and
no one would dare to go outside of it.

GSYV1T is universally conceded that the
HM most startling cry ON shipboard is
k4kz "Firel" conveying, as it does, the
E0EMSbA idea of an awful death and the

bad is the announcement that the

there is something about the cry Man over

On manof-war it acts on a ships COM
