In an article on -Four Generations
of Well-Known Augusta Family
printed in the Journal March % last,
it was said:
"Mrs. Burdin was born Jan. s, 1914, in
Readfield, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Carleton, who were among
that towns earliest settlers, near
Carleton pond. from which the city
now has it's water supply. Well does
Mrs. Burdin remember taking the
family washing to the shore of that
pond to do.
"She is a niece of the late John Hub
bard of Hallowell, Governor of Maine
in 1850. When a child she went with
her parents to Wellington, in Piscata-
quis county, where for years they
lived in log house and where she
married and where her daughter was
born. Mr.. and Mrs. Burdin moved to
Augusta in 1876 and she has ever since
resided here. Her husband died many
years ago.
Mrs. Burdin has been connected
with the Free Baptist church for a
great many years, even before the
members had a church, holding their
meetings in a hall on Water street.
"Her health is remarkably good and
her appearance that of a woman be-
tw cen so and 60, her cheeks rosy and
face smooth and pleasant. So active is
she that she frequently makes visits
afoot and only the past winter, when
on a visit to friends down town re-
fused to have carrige called to take
her home, saying:
"Td much rather walk home. Why,
I sit around the house so much, doing
nothing, that I'm fairly growing lazy

of her splendid health to her out door

to keep grandma busy.

"Yes," she cried; II shall be only toe

is very frightened"
There is no accounting for the work
ings of a mans mind. Courtenay, at
no time a lady's man, most certainly
then. Yet here he was thinking only
Of woman's comfort. His dismal
forebodings were banished by a rush
of absurd delight at the thought that
he would have an opportunity of speak
ing to her occasionally. What a brave
girl she was! What wife for a sail
or! In truth, these were mad notions
that jostled in his brain when his life
and hers were not worth an hours
purchase. He drew her to the foot of

dog, weird little figure, leaning for

Though her skirts were troublesome,
she managed the ascent. Then she
was taken off her feet again and hard

herself in the haven of Courtenay's
cabin. Joey was glad to be there too.

coat.

change to the southwark! Still, 1t was
in an altogether more cheerful mood
that he regained the promenade deck
and made his way toward the salon.
He was in the very act of entering
the doorway when a shudder ran
through the ship, and she lifted slight
ly. Clinging to rail, he waited, rigid
as q statue. A second time the great
steel hull shook, but much more vio-
lently. Then the Kansas ran her nose
into shoal, swung round broadside to

and listed to port.
COurtenay was on the starboard side.
He heard a yell Of dismay from the
men attending to the boats. Screams
came from the salon. The sea leaped
triumphantly over the rails and nearly
smothered him with its dense spray.
So this was the end? 1t had come all
too soon. And what a place for the
ship to be cast away-twenty miles
from the nearest land, in the midst of
a sea where no boat could live! God
help them all!

She had no idea that wind could
blow like that especially when the
ship was going in the same direction.
1t shrieked and whistled and tore at
the canvas side awnings with a vehe-
mence that threatened to rip them
from their stays. Courtenay held her
glued to his left side, and there was
something reassuring in the viselike
grasp. She had dim notion that he
need not squeeze her quite so earnest
ly until she passed gangway which
led to the port side between the deck
cabins and the music room. Then she
changed her opinion. Were it not for
the strong arm which held her she

had to pass the boats near which

CHAPTER V.

~ OURTENAY waited for the
rending of plates, the tearing
asunder of stanch steel ribs
and crossbeams, which should
sound the knell of the ships last mo-
ments. But the Kansas seemed to be
in no hurry to fall in pieces. She
strained and groaned and shook vio-
lently when wave pounded her. 9th
erwise she lay there like a beaten
thing, oddly resembling the living but
almost unconscious men stretched ON
the mattresses in the forward salon.
Courtenay did not experience the
least fear of death. Emotion of any
sort was already dead in him. He
found himself wondering If an uneX-
pectedly strong current setting to the
southeast had not upset his reckoning.
If there were any broken limbs among
the occupants of the salon, if Elsie
had been injured by being thrown
down into his cabin. He looked at his
watch. 1t was past II. In four hours
there would be dawn. Dawn! In as
many minutes he might see the day
that is everlasting. All, perhaps not
even four minutes! The Kansas, with
q shiver, lifted to the embrace Of
heavy sea, lurched to port and settled
herself more comfortably. The deck
assumed an easier angle. Now it was
possible to walk. There were no rocks
here, at, any rate. Courtenay at once
jumped Ito the conclusion that the pow
nrf,,l h.
pected had rut out for itself deep
water channel toward the land and the
ship had struck on the silt of it's back
wash. Anyhow, the Kansas was still
living. The lights were all burning
steadily. He could detect the rhythmic
throb of the donkey engine. He felt
1t like the faint beat of q pulse. In
her new position the ship presented
less of solid wall to the onslaught of
the sea. The tumultuous waves began
10 race past without breaking so fierce
ly. Had she started her plates? Were
the holds and engine room full of wa

He could have strangled the fugitive

Courtenay relaxed his grip, and for a
time at least one member of the crew
stuck to his post, fearing the mad
captain more than death.
A mob of stewards and kitchen
hands came In q torrent up the salon
stairs. Courtenay met them, terri

Courtcndy held her glued to his left side.
Courtenay had halted. The sailors saw
them. During the first lull one of the
men said:
1.-THE senior captain is escorting one
Of the English senoritas from the sa-
lon."
'Where is he taking her to?" asked
another.
"Who knows"
''It will be all the same wherever she
is. If the ship goes, we CO."
"Who can tell? These English are
stupid They always try to save wom-

A few words in Spanish reached
them from A1r. Boyle, and they went
on with their work. But such mutter-
ed condolences are eloquent of mis-
chief when the pinch comes.
At the forward end of the prone
made deck just beneath the bridge Ell
sic received another reminder of the
force of the wind, which was rendered
almost intolerable by the lashing Of
the spray.
"I-can't-go on!' she gasped. Cour-
tenay felt rather than heard that she
was speaking TO him. Without further
ado he picked her up in his arms and
deposited her, all flushed and breath
less, in the shelter of the fore salon
hatch. If she were so anxious to see
her friend the doctor, he was deter
mined she should not be disappointed
"No time for explanations" he said,

A pungent smell Of iodoform came
to them up the hatchway. Joey, who
had followed bravely in their wake
and was now few steps down the
stairs, crept back, awed.
"At least let me ask DR.. Christobal
