moment the pilot is cambering up the rope
ladder on deck and off to greet the captain.
The yawl stops a few moments by our side
and one of the men calls out from below to
inquire the name of our ship.
How strange this voice soundsl-this voice
coming out of the depthsl 1t is like speaking
to some uncanny thing-there out in that
dreary desolation of waters with blackness
overhead and the strange glare of the waters
beneath.
We then move slowly forward, the boatmen
holding to our rope until the yawl swings
safely out from what might. prove dangerous
suction.
Then they let go, and we watch their light
fade away toward the light of their cutter.
Behind us we can see the green, red and yel-
low lights of another steamer.

darkness, the signaling, the moving about OF

Ed said he didn't mind going for straw II

Mark volunteered to do this, provided Ed
would not also make him carry all the straw
down to the boat from the barn when they
got to the farmhouse.
"Ob, I'll help carry the straw, all right
was Eds reply to this, and the two boys ac-
cordingly started.
They reached the farmhouse landing without
accident or incident of any Importance, ana
Ed got out and held the boat for Mark 10

Just at this moment, however, a drawing
voice called to them from the vicinity OF the
"onyin" bed something which sounded very
much like command, and they both turned
about and looked in that direction:
There stood Samuel's father, with gun IN
his hand, aimed directly at them, and back
of him little way, Samuel himself. IA,

amused, and Mark would have laughed out

I"Samuel has told him that I'm crazy, and
! he's lust brainless enough to believe it, Mark
whispered to Ed. "Now, what are we going
to do about getting the straw"
"Have to go back without It, l guess, re-
piled Ed. Il don't see any other way"
'fWell, tell him we want to get some straw

Mark.

Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-27

Here was a new phase of the question, and
did not please Ed a bit.
Mark was to sit in the boat and take things
easy, while he went up to the barn and lugged
down the straw, and, as it was no short dis
tance to the parn and the bundles OF straw
would not be any too light, Ed regarded thls
as sort of put-up job, and was some time IN
making up his mind to accede to the impos,-
ton thus placed on him. :.
"That farmer is more of lunatic himself
than he thinks you are!" he snorted, as he
finally prepared to go alone after the straw;
II don't see how a man can be 50 'tarnal

and a nmpleton, was what l was going to

1t took Ed all Of twenty minutes to get the
first bundle of straw, and when he tumbled it
into the boat there was a look on his face
that showed him to be seriously debating with
himself whether he would return for the
second bundle or make Mark and some OF
the other boys sleep on the same old straw
into camp; but his deep-seated better nature
finally got the better of his tired body and he
went back, returning some time later with a
bundle even larger than the first one he had
brought. =, =.
mented Mark, gazing into Eds flushed and
perspiring face, with look that showed his
words to be nothing else than pure irony.
you'll get page Of the camp diary all to

Ed cast the boat loose and stepped in, max
ing no reply to these remarks.
"I'll bet, when anybody asks you to come
after straw again, they'll not get you to come
chr" said Mark, as he took up the oars and
prepared for the pull before him.. you'll be

: - HERE are three incidents IN Trans
atlantic voyage which stand out
above all others and which impress
even the most unimpressionable OF
travellers, particularly if@it be first expert
ence.
One of these, the saddest of all, is the last
parting from land especially ones native land.
The first sight of land-the first firm ground
after days of monotony and perhaps danger
IS sensation of very different character.
Now there is exhilaration, hope and the an
ticipation of pleasure on shore. Even the
sailor, to whom this incident can have no
novelty, seems more cheerful and looks long
lngly toward the welcome land.
The third incident the taking of the pilot,
while differing from the other two, yields to
neither, perhaps, IN point of interest, and If
this event should happen at night, surpasses
both from dramatic point of view.
:, On the other side the pilot enters and leaves
tne snip with scarce any one being aware of
quite different.
The New. York pilot boats try to outsal
each other in the track of inward-bound ships
untii tney sometimes catch the steamer three
hundred miles from port
When q pilot cutter leaves New York its
iui complement of pilots is seven, and until
these all have been placed on incoming vessels.
the pilot boat, unless forced by stress of
weather or an accident, remains at sea.
But If the sight of signal for a pilot is
welcome TO the hardy men on board their little
craft, the first glimpse of the huge numbers
on their mainsail or the fash of their beacon
Is none the less SO to the weary traveller.
The North Atlantic is a dangerous sea. In
the summer 1t i8 inflicted with fogs. in the
winter there is succession of Qales. The
Gulf Stream and the Arctic current opnose
each other and blind the way with stor,ns
and the dread fog banks of Newfoundland
seem to defy the navigator to penetrate the
gloom.
OFF the coast are rocks and shoals and fitful
winds, and it is amid these that the lookout
ON. board the great steamship first catches
sight of the pilot boat.
All on board are of course watching anx.
iously for this event. For ten days perhaps
nothing has been heard of the great world.
Dynasties may have fallen, governments
changed, wars been declared
The pilot will bring file of newspapers
day or two old maybe, but decidedly better
than no news.
So, apart from his actual duties. the pilot
is link binding the passengers to the world
from which they have been so long estranged
Only ten or twelve days-please bear in mind
that "six-day boats" are the exception not
the rule--but a day on the sea is not the
same as one on land.
/ remember distinctly the taking of the
pilot on my last voyage. The night was very
dark and stormy, with gusts of fine rain, but
the sea was lighted with strange, lurid, 4phos-
phorescent glow-an effect which is known as
the white horses" which prognosticates
stormy weather.
It was about 10 o'clock. and most Of the

passengers were below. Happening to be on

like luminousness of the sea, heard the look
out on the forecastle head can out, Light on

ness, to the right, appeared q small, glimmer-

At full speed we bore down upon it. The
captain, who stood on the bridge close by,
now called out, "Show them a blue light"
The quartermaster then lit light on the
starboard quarter, which burnt with blue
flare, sending clouds of smoke out against the
darkness When it had burnt out. all was as
dark as before.
After some little time, during which we
strain our eyes toward the little giimmer,
suddenly brilliant beacon is lighted, on what
proves to be the pilot boat.
This beacon is produced by dipping ball
of cotton into turpentine and then setting
fire to it. 1t is then whirled about SO as to
illumine the mainsail of the schooner, show

mated. Upon seeing this the captain called
