would be very much disappointed in

to come II you will gradually deepen
the furrow slice an inch per year and

way you will not be so likely to be

BUILT AN EIGHTY-TON SHIP
South Sea Missionary Who Wanted
to Reach His Island Home Proved
His Ingenuity.

A person engaged in missionary
ingenuity OF an American missionary
in the Society islands, who, though he
knew next TO nothing Of ship carpen
try and was, besides, almost destitute
OF tools, once accomplished the con.
struction Of a vessel OF so tons bur

In his youth this missionary had been
Rpprenticed TO an ironmaker.
II appears that, being desirous to
reach more distant tribes, this mis-
sionary left his home in Raiatea and
took passage on trading vessel for
Rarotonga, 500 miles distant He
learned soon after his arrival that
ships rarely touched port at that
Island; and when his visit had ex'
Tended over several months with no
sight Of q sail he began TO wonder
how he should ever get back. Final.
ly, impelled by the stress OF his situa-
lion, he determined TO make ship
by which he could leave the island.
The novelty and audacity OF this plan
amazed and fascinated the natives,
who helped him with will. Pieces OF

and carpenters pincers, with several
hatchets and knives. trophies Of for
mer bargainings by the islanders with

Il was impossible TO protect the leath-

The natives greatly admired. He never
lacked hands to blow It. He found
plenty of timber-cocoanut and bam'
boo. Having no saw he made his
planks by splitting trees and the
islanders smoothed them after fash.
lon with the hatchets and knives.
Wood with natural crook supplied
the knees. wooden pins served for
nails and the calking Of the seams was
done with banana stumps and cocoa
nut fiber in place OF oakum.
After long and patient toll the mis-
sionary and his native assistants
launched a craft that rode the water.
Somehow he contrived. with his anna
teur native crew, TO navigate the yes
sci safely to his Raiatea home.
