TALE OF YACHTING CRUISE
How a Hostess Arranged q Breakdown

her friends for three.week cruise. At

was not specially we'll assorted; but
after a few days they began to evince
signs of being somewhat bored with
each others company.
The hostess marked these signs of
incipient boredom. which became more
plainly evident each day. and at last in
despair she took counsel with one of
her guests, an old and experienced
yachtsman.
What on earth shall do to amuse
these people?" she asked.
The yachtsman looked at the serene
sky and calm, blue water. and shook
his head doubtfully.

that steamboats, have ceased to run
during the open season.
In the summer OF 1856, Mr.. Kelly

four Inches lower than II Is now. The
boat was towing two barges down
