Nothing remained but to wait till the ship broke

chapter on the unwisdom of humankind
A Brilliant Imbecile
DROBABLY no more brilliant piece of imbecility
was ever perpetrated than that which wrecked the
steamer Guyandotte. The Guyandotte was in
process of taking cargo at her pier in the North
River, New York, when the iders on the dock were
startled to see two dripping figures dashing across
her gangplank if fiends were at their heels. Be
fore the crowd had time get its breath the
began to list and settle, and down she went like
stone the bottom before their unbelieving ewes.
1t afterward developed that very young officer
had been directing green deckhand in some general
oling up and in fit of absent mindedness had told
bottom and oil the thread That plate for use
only in drydock, and it communicated directly
with the river No sooner did the luckless deckhand
get it loose than column of water foot and half
in diameter stood up clear to the deck Drenched
and gasping, the two scrambled up the ladder for
their lives, and sprang across the gangplank just
the only on board at the moment; the
job for the wreckers instead of the life
savers; and everybody but the absent minded
officer and the owners could afford to smile.
Unhappily, foolng unstable is likely

plot of five raw landlubbers who embarked in a
light skiff the Genesee River at Rochester AS
they rollicked across the river, they met tug

happy thought struck them: they would astonish
that tug by cutting between her and her tow! 1t
good idea; but ust at the critical mo-
ment that towlino erked taut under the keel of the
frolicsome skiff, lifting her bodily out of the water
and her happy passengers, without notion of
swimming among them, were flung into deep water,
Their yells and the frantic squeas of the tug whistle
brought the life savers in short order. But it

bers on some risky shoal because
the master would sail too near the
wind. There was the schooner
Aaron Reppard, lost in the great
West India hurricane of August,
1900. The storm that pounded
the Reppard to kindling wood was
no sudden affair, swooping down
unawares. For more than week
it had been raging in southern
waters, and the newspapers had
been full of narrowing accounts of
the havoc. first in Porto Rico, and
later on it's wicked progress up our
coast. From Portland to Key West
every signal station was flying its
warning to ships to hug port.
In the face of the known fury of
such gales, Captain Vessel of the
Reppard saw fit to leave Phila
delphia on the afternoon of August
II, bound for Savannah in the very
teeth of the storm. Three days
later he was off Cape Henry, both
wind and glass crying out to him
to run for shelter behind the capes
of the Chesapeake while there was
yet time; for already the hurricane
was furious off Hatteras. But the
infatuated man stood obstinately
away to the southwark, apparently
looking for trouble. He got it soon
