DARING WORK IN A FOG.
Clover ssamsnship of Captain IN .
landIocked Harbor.

Clover Ssamsnship Of q Captain IN q
IandIoeked Hsrbor.
Tho greatest piece OF seamanship I
ever saw" said traveller. ''was on a
trip to Halifax. II was marvel. and
this Is how 1t happened.
I'VE were steaming along about
twelve hours out from our destination
ono summer afternoon. IL had been
clear all day. and the sea was beauti.
fully blue. but about 4 o'clock the fog
began to shut down-one OF those
swift. dense fogs that como on that
coast and shroud boat from sight In
less time than II takes to tell Of It. or
course the fog whistles began to blow,
and many OF the passengers got nerv-
Gus under the strain or its continued
believing.
After dinner I went up on the
bridge and was permitted to stay. The
captain would not enter into any con-
versatton-that Is. I could not talk to
Dim. but In his restless pacing up and
down tho bridge he would frequently
make remark to me. 1t went on that
way for hours. tho fog rs thick as
steam and the whistle reiterating its
mournful warning.
AT length the captain gave sharp
order. Two points. northwest by
morrill, no said. No. "a little more
that's right no finished as his CON-
mand was executed. was bewilder-
Cd. and my face must have shown It
as be passed me. for be vouchsafed
inc explanation that he wanted to pass
within few hundred feet Of Ger.

said nothing. but I did not pnder-
stand Why, the night was 80 Nthick
that 1t was hard work to see from the
bridge to tho rail. and what could he
mean by making a buoy2
"On and on we went, and always the
fog seemed to me thicker. I could
not sleep. and most of the night was
on the bridge. When 1t nfost have
been nearly morning a new whistiing
began to sound on our starboard bow,
as nearly as could Judge. II was a
Fearful fog siren. and kept getting
nearer and nearer We had stopped
whistling, and the passengers were ter
rfbly frightened. l looked at one ex-
naval officer who stood with me on
tho bridge. ana his face was like
dead mans. Mine must have been also.
= Then. just as 1t seemed that some
giant steamship must strike us. 90
close was the whistling. the fog lifted
like a veil. and there. not $50 feet
away, was the buoy that the captain
had mentioned
almost ut once the fog closed down
again; but. DO you know, he took us
past two warships, into the landlocked
hnrbor and up to the dock in 1t. 1t
was magnificent and. though we really
could not put our admiration In tan
gibie form. we got together and gave
him a gold watch on the return voyage
as little souvenir."-New York Post.

EarIv landhoId;na

Nothing is clearer than the fact that
the system Of landholding In the most
ancient races was communal. Private
right IN land was for long time un-
known. the source OF life being held In
common between tho members Of the
tribe. Not only land. but oil property
that I'm any way had to do with the
general welfare. was looked upon as
belonging 70 the whole tribe In com
mon, no individual having the right TO
call It his own. Gradually and after
very long time. under the old regime,
the right OF private ownership began
TO creep in until Mt last It became the
recognized rule pretty nearly every
where.-New York American.
