in a little time the launch was beset
on every side by gulls.
Alone in the launch, Lillico was at
a loss as to the best course to pur-
sue. He stopped the engine and step
ped out on the deck, where the birds
were tearing open the parcels and
dismantling the fruit as they fought
with each other for possession. Heed
less of the mans attempts to drive
them away, they continued to battle
among themselves until Lillico began
to belabor them with pike. Then
they turned upon him and vented
their rage in efforts to tear his face
clothes and hands. Almost blinded
by the cloud of tapping wings, snap
ping beaks and tearing claws, Lilli-
CO fought frantically, at first to save
his cargo, and then to save himself.
Perceiving that he could make no
Roadway with his pike blows and
realizing that his eyes and clothing
were liable to be torn from him if he
continued on deck, the captain beat
a hasty retreat inside the launch, and
there he found the idea which saved
tie day. He took hose, attached it
to a steam tap, and, turning it on full
head, shot the scalding steam and
water into the midst of the fighting
flock
There was a wild scream of pain
and fright from the gulls, and many
of them, sightless fell into the water
The others made p1ucky attempt to
withstand the burning vapor, but
were finally obliged to give up and
beat a retreat. Once driven away, they
did not return to the attack and the
launch was not further molested as.

From Coughs, Colds, Sore Threats and
Hoarseness, by Using Hyomei.
When you catch cold you want to
get rid of it as quickly as you can.
You don't want to lie around the
house for a week swallowing nauseat-
ing drugs. You know when you do this
that you are not only making your
own life miserable, but are nuisance
to every one about you.
Why not avoid all this; why not re-
lieve your cold in five minutes; why
rot cure it over night? You can do it
by using Hyomei, the sure and guaran-
catarrh, bronchitis and asthma.
Hyomei is ~medicated and antiseptic
air; you breathe it INTO the lungs
through small pocket inhaler, and its
soothing influences as it passes over
the inflamed membrane of the respira-
tory tract, stops the mucuous dis
charge, allays the Inflammation, and
the cold is cured. A complete Hyomei
outfit costs 81. and H. o. Rolls will
refund your money if it fails to cure.
