THE VOYAGERS.

y harbor there is where the ships go
out
Frail little ships they are
With white sails poised to the kiss Of
the wind
Over the cleaning bar.
over the great wide world they go,
Breasting the foaming tides,
Until they rest in the Ravens afar
Where the dark storm never strides.
Some never return from their distant
quest
Lost, and none knows where
And the years go by, but never again
over the seas they fare.
And where is the harbor whence they
sail
Under the blue above?
The harbor is found in the hearts OF
men;
The ships are their words of love.

was considered one Of the brightest cleo
trical engineers that ever worked in the
West
while at college he was reputed to
be one of the fastest short distance run
ners that ever represented the uni
versity. After graduation he entered the
employ of Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins,
Boston and New York, constructive en-
gineers, and was one of the superin-
tendents In charge of the building of the
New York subway. While with this
company, he with another engineer
patented Improvements ON a pump which
has since proved of great value along
engineering lines. Finally he heard the
call of the West and worked in In

fered ambitious engineers In the gov
eminent service he applied for a po-
sition on the reclamation work of Gun

neer of marked ability. In the federal civil

peting engineers over the entire country
he ranked 10th out of the 80 who were
successful. He was devoted to his pro-
fession and while daring in initiative
