between his teeth All around the harbor quite
empty everyone had gone out to follow yacht
That where going too, if only could get
of the harbor But the wind seemed to be straight
ahead and we went back and FORTH back and FORTH
helpless kind of way. And every and then gust
of wind falling down out of the mountains seemed to hit
like cannonbal.
Hell see the snob!' said Victor, the boat trem-
IVES; but what did he see? The boat, instead of
coming back again, went going over-over.
The sail dragged in the water. And all remember the
instant seemed to be falling off roof, how rdcu-
lous Victos mouth looked wide open to shout and the
little, black, shiny pipe falling out of it.
The salt water caught my throat and strangled me.
1t was cold-oh cold like the inside of vault For the
moment it seemed to that l had ceased to exist.
Downtown went in the icy cold. Then my hand
caught something. l can't swim, of course; but at
least | can struggle and kick The next moment my
head came up of water and found myself clinging
to the edge of the boat which lay heaving under the
water like the pictures of whale in the biographies.

l caught my breath, gasping and choking in the salt
water.
aVictor!" cried "Help! Help! Victor"
Now came bad moment in my life; for suddenly, as
eyes and returned, became of the fact
that from this source no help was coming to me- Not
that good will lacked poor Victor For two three
times he leaned down from his slippery perch and made
Intellectual passes at with his hand But he was
frightened-mon Dienl how frightened he was! And
every time he leaned down toward me, with his eyes
still fixed the distant Shore somehow his grasp just
missed and he had to straighen up and clutch the

none came And quite clearly above the waves heard
my voice saying, at is pity after all, that left
Brent!'
And all the time Victor stopped shouting.
Though don't want to say anything against anybody,
least of all my tiance-stil really can't help feeling
that he acted rather like pig
SUDDENLY, as we rose up foundering on the crest
raise my eyes, the flash of pair of oars But
ah so far away! My hands numb-never, never
could hold till that boat came! Then at the
instant the shore above the boat, something
shoot up into the sky.
Ali in shock that was like life itself, real
lied what was happening. Henry coming for

drew one long BREATH had barely time, as the
great dragonfy sweeping toward me on the wind.
The next instant Henry standing up the little
seat and, without any volpane anything else, the
machine turned turtle and dved down into the waves
only little way from us.
How my fingers clutched it, the cold, slippery edge
of the boat Slowly began to count. If before had
resolved to let 60 and go down and join him. Until
that moment had not realized what it means when
say person is than life to

losing the sport that the passion of his life have in
fact robbed him of everything his good opinion
of me.
But. as for myself, am keeping my word too. But
have always my roses withered too soon because
they flew too high
But-oh Lii, have you done any better yourself,
you who call yourself intelligent and plque yourself on
your reasonable of looking at life? Could any
poor cabbage in the garden have bunged its affairs half

CHAPTER x.
RUT Just the same, Henry broke his word to At
- least think sothat is, if it's not all DREAM what
happened to me today.
All, what day!
The first marvel is evidently that there is any Lii
here at all, to tell what happened to bewa it. Be-
wall it, yes; for, in spite of all the philosophy in the
world, what cruel as to receive from Destiny all we
have asked dreamedreceve it, that is, at the in
slant when hands tied and cannot accept it?
But attention, my poor Lii! Begin at the beginning.
At the beginning evidently it all Victors fault.
He took out sailing in his horrd little boat And,
though that werent enough for who hate the sea
and always quite i'll and miserable on the water, he
out into the water just where it deepest and rough
est and most icy cold.
So unnecessary too,-that was the most aggravatlng
part of tfor the wind wasn't very HIGH and Victor
is good sailoror ought to be- for he is out of
his boat. But we slipped by under the crag where
Mrs Vanhuysens house is built, we saw Henry sitting
there quite melancholy in front of the garage, and the
wings of his useless Blerot gstenng in the sunlight
through the open door, My heart gave twist as
though someone pinching it. And wondered if

However, he managed to pass me loop of rope that
winding through the water from the SAIL and with
this and some words of encouragement he seemed to
feel that his duty done.
Here, Lii, hold tight to this rope And don't be
scared. Above all, don't be scared I'll you,
Lii I'll shout!'
So he continued to shout, with his mouth open like
cave and his eyes fixed on the shore. As for me,

word to me!
There's chap that's good and stuck on himself

the island that can stroke sail boat. I'll
show him there others!' And from that moment
Victor began to show off.
In any case, sailing is amusement sufficiently
noying,-when the boat tips over and your stomach
rises up and rubs against your throat But when, in
stead of pushing the rudder and yielding to the
wind the person who steers the boat wants to show how
courageous he is and holds his long stick quite mmov
able when the gusts come and the boat tips overland

Henry's face close to mine.
Now how strange they are, these Americans!
Here who knew loved me- and who had
just rsked his life to mine; yet he didn't weep,
kiss me, cry No. he merely said in the most col
lected way in the world:
"Buck up, Darling! There's boat coming But
must there little break in his voice as his
eyes looked into mine and he added, "Thank God!'
On the hull above us Victor went shouting and
gestcuating wildly to the approaching boat He
seemed to notice the aeropane Henry arrival any
than he had noticed me- He just kept on shout

An Explosion at Carney Point
Three Che mists Burned In the LabO-
ratOry,

At 4.26 oil Tuesday afternoon an ex-
plosion took place in the laboratory OF E.
l. dupont deNemour Powder Company
on Carney's Point. Three men were in
jured by being burned on their hands and
face, The were Roger b. Hall aged q
years, John Began, aged 20 years, Oscar
VanCulin, aged 81 years.
Hall is from North Carolina and has
been with tile company about a mouth.
Began Is a native OF Wilmington and has
been here over a year. Both are assis-
tant chemists. VanCulin is a helper in
the laboratory.
The fire started under the sink. In all
instant the room was a mass of flame.
Began stopped down and crawled out OF a
door under the flames. VanCulin jump
ed out ofa window and his face and
hands were cut by the glass. Hall was
in the test o enclosed with glass within
the laboratory DON He went ont the
door and was badly burned from his
waist up before he could jump thru a
window. In doing so he was cut badly
with glass.
All three were quickly treated with
remedies kept in the emergency hospital
supplies, then taken to Wilmington OH
the tug and sent to Delaware Hospital.
None of them were %seriouly injured.
Began and VanCulin will lie out this
week and Hall in about a week.
What caused the explosion is unknown.
1t is presumed that there was ether in the
routine room which burst into flames.
The damage to the building was small,
broken glass being the principal damage
sustained. The building is an old one
story structure. The company is erect
ing a new and improved laboratory which
will be occupied in a few months.
This is the first explosion in the labor
