of his soreness just now come from fndn himself in
with lot of folks that didn't take any special pains to
admit what great man he So, as him and me
sort OF left to flock by ourselves undertook the job of
supplyn few soothin remarks, just for old times
sake. And that's how it he got r1ng in this little
mix-up with Cap'n Spiller
YOU see, the way the committee had mapped it out,
part of the doin's a grand illumination of the
fleet Anyway they had all the craft they could muster
anchored in a semicrcle off the end of the float and
trimmed up with Japanese lanterns. Well, just about
time for lightin up into the middle of the fleet
driftin' punk loolin old sloop with dirty patched
sails, some shirts and things hangn from the rggn,
and length of stoveppe stickn through the cabin roof
When the skipper has struck the exact CENTER he throws
over his mud hook and lets his sail run.
Not ben posted the details, l didn't know but
that part of the show, until the chairman of my
committee rushn up to me all excited and points
it out.
"Oh 1 say McCabe!" says he "Do you see that?"
"If didn't says I, Il could almost smell it from
here; Some new member, is it,"
fisherman! We've cawn't have him stay there you
know.
WELL, says I, "he to be gettin plenty of ad-
vice that point. And he was; for they shoutn
things at him through a dozen megaphones.
But you know, McCabe," goes on the chairman,
you ought to go out and send him away. That's one

him yourself!''
We had quite argument over it too, with Peter K.
chimn in my side but, while the chappy insists that
it's my job to fire the old hooker off the anchorage,
draws the line at nterfern with anything beyond the
shore Course it might spoil the effect; but the it
struck me that didn't any of Long
Island Sound than anyone else, and says SO fiat.
That must have been how the boss of the old sloop
felt about it too for he don't pay any attention to the

supper.
Anyway. they couldn't bulge him, even though half
the club stewin about it. And, someway, that
seemed to tickle Chunk and lot. We watched him
spread his grub out the cabin table, roll up his sleeves
and square away like he had good appetite just if
he'd been all by himself instead of right here in the
midst of so many fossy yachtsmen.
He had music to eat by; for part of the program
the urnn loose of of these high priced cabinet
disk machines, that the Commodore's big
schooner and feedn with Carlso and Neba records
There much chattern' goin' on around the
verandas and many corks poppn and glasses cnkin
that the skipper must have got more benefit from the
concert than anyone else. At last he wipes his mouth
his sleeve careful, fills his pipe, and craws
deck to enjoy the view.

TT we'll worth lookn at too; for, although there
was most too many clouds for the moon to do much
execution, here all the yachts lighted up, and the
clubhouse blazin and gay and the water lappin gentle

so, and then him dive down into the cabin. He
