 At nine years of age I taught him to swim, and now, not twelve, he Is quite capable of taking care of himself in any depth of water, and in any reasonable current.

He is one of the several young boys who are made quite as welcome as tner fathers at shooting parties. and he has been taught to care for his own kit and bag, to sleep on the ground, build fire and boil coffee. With rife or small pistol he can usually hit twelye-fnch target at fifty yards. The same conditions apply to fishing, including care and carriage

 We halted and looked at one another frightened and dazed; then we huddled back into the forecastie like a lot oi sheep. All of us felt certain our end had come, and 1t certainly would havr done had not the skipper been thor ough seaman and quick at perception. The unusual movements of the ship and the loud Tapping of the sails woke hin up.

THE GHOST OF
 THE SAVANNAH" A Sailor Tells of an Uncanny
 Experience ON BOARD AN OLD SHIP
"Sayannah" Was Used Against the South During the Civil War
 and Was Sunk.

From the Wide World Magazine.
 Many strange things happen on board ships at sea. Sometimes such happenings can be accounted for. sometimes they cannot. When these occurrences cannot be explained, the vessel concerned gen. erally gets bad name among sailors. and Is invariably put down as being haunted" They fight shy of her, and nothing short of starvation will make them ship on her.
 The Savannah was a vessel of the above description and had a very un- canny reputation as regards ghosts and spectres. Formerly man-of-war under the American flag, she was one of the ships the northerners fought the south erners with, at the time of the civil war. She was sunk in an action somewhere of the cost of the southern states, and was sold to a German firm of ship owners. who raised her and turned her into a merchantmen.

 With that he got ready to strike match and enter the shop. He diont get in. however. nor did he strike the match the ghost prevented that by suddenly appearing in front of him Tn all neI uncanny splendor. Only for one instant did she show herself. then she vanished leaving the shop in darkness again. "Gott in Himmell' he yelled. What S that?S
 .It's-it's the ghostt" stammered Dub. lin, who was immediately behind him.
 '.Ill ghost it!' cried the skipper recov- ering himself. He ran to the pinrail and. picking out an iron belaying pin. rushed into the carpenters shop with murder in his eye.
 The mate came along at that moment in his pajarnas and bare feet, still very sleepy, and inquired what all the trouble was about.
 When we told him he grinned, chuckling to himself in his fat, German way.
 Meanwhile the skipper was humping every hole and corner of the carpenter s shop with the belaying pin.
 Look out you don't damage that hg- urehead. captain" said the mate. showing his head inside the door; ''the carpenter only finished repairing it yesterday"
 Just then one or the men cdiie diouB with a lamp, and the mate, taking 1t from him, walked into the shop with It. Then, smiling amiably, he showed us our shost-the ships fgurehead, which was standing upright in the corner of the shop. It had been, damaged in port, and had been taken of to be repaired. We being new hands, of course, knew nothing about It.
 The ghostly light was caused by the moon shining through small skylight. directly over the figurehead. The moon being obscured by heavy clouds. and only visible between the rifts for few sec onds at a time, made the ghost appear and disappear whenever it shone out or was obscured.
 We all grinned very sheepishly when the mate laid bare the mystery of our ghost and some of the crowd were be- ginning to shuffie shamefacedly forward when the captain spoke
 Come aft. men," he said. and we'll splice the main brace" (which means grog). It'll brace up your nerves bit And just remember that there are no ghosts in this ship, and if you get seeing any more there's going to be trouble
 I may mention that we never did see any more ghosts after that, and more comfortable and happy ship never want to be in.
