for a big breaker came laundering
over the weather rail.
The breaker caught Bob at the fore
backstays. He jumped up and put his
arm through the coils of the fore sheet,
hanging in straps in the royal back
stay.
The straps were rotten, and Bob and
the coil sheet rope dropped and disap-
peared in the boiling deck waters.
The waters surged to leeward and
carried dark object with them.
The skipper threw life buoy from
the poop.
Poor Bob!" said everybody to him

Bob was gone, and there seemed to be
no help for it.
We had the Mary Ann snug at last.
Our watch bad still an hour more be

lighted our pipes, lay down on our

Say, boys, when we auction this stuff

1t must be explained that when sail
ors die at sea their belongings are sold
at auction to the crew This custom
serves Il double purpose. 1t is easier
to ship money halfway around the
globe than to insure the safe delivery
of an old wooden chest. A good SUN
of money is also more welcome to most
heirs than chestful of tarred rags
Besides, the sea auctions give the ship
mates of the dead an opportunity to
"raise his reputation" by adding gener-
ously to his account.
Everybody wanted to FIJI the Christ
mas stockings of poor Bob's folks. The
chief mate, Dickson, good naturally
consented that the auction should be
held then and there and came to the
forecastle with pencil and paper to re-
cord the sales as fast as they were
made

When Shepherds Watched by Night


Some historians contend that the
shepherds could not have watched by
night on the Bethlehem plains in De-
cember, it being a period of great in
clemency In answer to this a well
known student says: bethlehem is
not cold region. The mercury usual
~ stands all the month of December
at 4G degrees Corn is sown during
this time, and grass and herbs spring
up after the rains. so that the Arabs
drive their fiocks down from the noun
tains into the plains. The most deli
cate never make fires till about the
end of November, and some pass the
whole winter without them. From
these facts | think it is established
without doubt that our Saviour was
born on the 2Jth day of December. the
day which the church throughout the
world has united to celebrate in honor
of Christ's coming in the flesh."-Wash-
ington Star.

Hem! Well, we will see what is
in it anyway" assented the mate.
When the canvas cover was opened
score of letters in sciled and torn
envelopes dropped out.
Il see no harm in letting you fell
lows get a little home sentiment out
OF these old letters, said the mate
"but you must not keep them. They
must be forwarded to Bob's friends
You boys can bid for the privilege Of
reading the letters"
Dick for 50 bought the right to first
velope and its Enclosure and went away
to read the letter.
The sale continued, letter after let

tiers were sold when Dick came from
his corner and interrupted the sale

The girl is waiting yet.
The mate, who had been intently
reading one of the letters, here inter-

A CHRISTMAS

~ nee I had a shipmate who cele-
brated the most grateful Christ

1t was on the Mary Ann, In
December. 1897. She was a deep cut
steel clipper. but she was four mast
ed bark, and four masted barks are all
ugly in heavy seas. The best sea boat
afloat will plunge at Cape Horn. but
four masted banks are all the time un-
der water Sometimes they are swamp
ed altogether and float waterlogged
around the Horn. Then the current
pushes them south to perish in the
ice jam.
Some sailors can be likened to the
four masted banks. They are the sail
ors who have been too long away from
home All sailors plunge literally into
shore life. but the too long away from
home" fellows are. as rule. swamped
In shore life's breakers.
One Of my mates on the Mary Ann
was Bob Jones, typical too long
way from home" unfortunate. But
lob still had somebody dear to his
heart. He had started on more than
one trip around the world with the set
determination that the end of the voy-
age should see him rejoin his own loved
| ones at home.
But on pay day at the end of his
| trips his good resolutions had been
broken. 1t had often gone so, and Bob
was hiding self despair under the grim
surface of man hating man.
Bob and /. with twelve other Yam
KEGS. Dutchmen and Swedes, were on
the starboard watch under Chief Mate
| Dickson of the Mary Ann. When we
went below on Christmas eve the sea
was running high. Sleet and hail came
| down in the squalls. The western gale
had trimmed our sails down to the
| lower topsails.

| we heard the man at the wheel strike
