For about two months we had good

could never extricate ourselves. Months
passed by without puff Of wind coming
our way. ana never once did we sight
any kind Of craft.
at the end of four months our situa-

giving out and the water was getting un-
pleasant. The captain gave orders that
the ship was 10 be put on half rations.
For a month we lived-or rather eked
out an existence-on the half allowance OF
food, and then we were transported into
delirium of the widest enthusiasm by
catching sight of land. We made out

Our predicament was now graver than
all our previous trials. We began to suf-

reached land.
The island was about as uninviting as
anything I have ever seen in my thirty

an interesting little love story. involving
also the race question in the Southland,
