We went outside week ago." one OF
the sailors said, and had a fine run to
Five Fathom Bank. There we began to
fish and had good luck from the start.
It was eight bells on last Sunday night.
The rest Of us were in our hunks in the

burst aboard. They covered the decks,
and six OF them floundered down in the
foreoAstle. One slapped Henry Jacobsen

We rushed to the deck. Much water
had come aboard with the sharks and the
scuppers we're ciogged With the Douies OF
smaller fish that nad come with them.
We found two feet OF water on deck, and
the sharks having a fine time chasing the

into the rigging. We followed him. Ten
minutes afterward the deck was cleared OF
the water, and seventeen big sharks lay
there looking at US and swapping their

axes, and then went down In the forecAstle,

err" THE Dublin Rag" and Rock OF

deal depends on their environment.
DR.. c. Z. Peck. vice president of
the Bowman Dairy Co, said that it
had been demonstrated that cows have
a very delicate nervous organization
and that the least excitement inter-
feres with their milk output He did
not know whether or not music would
