after attention came conviction of the

the state delegations and rushed,
shouting and yelling to group them

placed in nomination by delegate

Bryan on the fifth ballot, but when the
roll call was begun the Illinois men
were out of the hall for consultation.

LANDING At RAKAHANeA.
A Risky Feat and Ono That soreIy
Tries the Nerves.

iTtce tno Norvcs.
Rakahanga is a little coral atoll in
the south sea, not very far from New
Zealand Few people ever visit it,
and TO judge from tue account In Mr..
Frank Burnetts Through Tropic
Sens" OF the difficulties that attend a
landing there none would care TO go a
second time.
At Rakahanga the feeling Is that
only by n miracle can safe passage
be made through what, by stretch
OF the Imagination, is called the en-
trance TO the lagoon. Imagine once
good entrance INSTRUCTED by wall OF
coral rising TO within few feet of the
surface OF the water. This coral wall
is built by that wonderful creature,
the coral polyp. Over 1t break with
inconceivable fury huge ocean pillows
that travel with the speed Of race
horses, flashing and churning the water
into n milk white foam and with a
| deafening roar throwing the spray TO
such height that IL may be seen miles
away.
1 uG VI NNNis pstNsNNA
forms, on the outside Of the wall OF
rock, n chasm fathoms deep. which is
again filed up by the next rushing
| wave. To cross the abyss and reach
the quiet shelter of the lagoon Is
difficulty that the islander shows the
greatest skill in surmounting.
His boat--a long, low, fat bottomed
| affair, built much like halibut dory,
manned usually by six paddlers be-
sides the steersman-is brought to the
very verge of the boiling caldron, and
there Il ia held till the opportune mo
ment arrives. Since that sometimes
does not occur for Ave or ten minutes
the passenger has plenty OF time to
| reflect upon his misdeeds, TO survey
the sublime scene and to wonder how
in the world that fearful turmoil Of
water Is to be crossed.
The delay does not tend to compose
his nerves. but IL he Is observant he
will notice that about every five or
six minutes three giant pillows In
quick succession roll majestically in.
When the last Of the three has passed
and the chasm has been filed up the
paddlers give frightful yell that ter
rifles the unsuspecting passenger al
most to death, dig in their paddles and
! shoot the boat forward like an arrow
from a bow.
i Before the backwash can re-empty
the chasm the boat Is across. The
passenger has hardly time TO grasp
! how II IL done before the paddlers
have sprung to the reef and pulled
the boat clear OF the next roller. usu'
ally a small one.
In entering the lagoon the CHER risS
is that Of an upset after crossing inc
chasm and a ducking in two or three
feet OF water. but on going out II the
boat does not reach the smooth water
before the next succeeding swell
breaks, woe betide II and It's crew. FOL
nothing will prevent its being swamp
ed and carried, with all hands. bach
: into the awful abyss by the inrush o.
broken water. out Of which only thu
strongest and most skilful swimmer
can emerge.
