Thanksgiving was attended by the US

of provisions to satisfy the ravenous
appctites and the usually good time.

The success of the farmers in raising
sugar beets this season hereabouts has
resulted in samples from near Keota
being sent to the sugar factory over at
Greeley to be tested. The result was
a test Of 1872 per cent sugar. At the
prevailing price this season that would
make the beets worth s5.25 per ton on
the cars. The showing would seem to
justify further experiments and invcs-
tigation of the possibilities of this crop

II anything the women managed to
bear up better than the men, but
whether this was because Of their dis
posi- ions. or failure to comprehend full
ly the desperation of our situation,
am unable to say. Yet outwardly they
seemed to retain courage longer.
However, their eyes told me plain
ly enough how heavily the hours
rested upon them. l saw comparative
ly little of Celeste, as she chose a po,
sition near the foot of the mast, and
remained there much of the time,
wrapped warmly in blankets, minis
tered to by De Nova, who sat beside
her. But Doris remained aft with me,
resting when / was off duty, but sit
ting wide awake, her head touching
M knee whenever 1t was my trick at
the tiller. It seems strange thing to
say, yet l believe it was the very GER
tainty Of death which kept her strong,
self-reliant, almost happy Not for one
instant did she consider our final res
cue as POSSIBLE. She lived in her love
for me, utterly insensible to the drear
surroundings, and merely anxious to
prolong our life together. 1t was a
revelation to me of a woman's heart,
a wOman's cOnstancy. May l never
forget the clasp of her hand, the ten
der IoVelight in her gray eyes, the
words Of faith and hope on her lips,
as we sat thus through those long
hours battling against the sea, the
motionless forms of the blanketed
sleepers alone evidencing other hui
man life within the boat. 1t was her
presence, her love, her inspiration,
which etiffened me to the continued
performance of labor growing harder
With each day.
It became easy to see what this
meant TO us all. 1t vas neither hun-
gei nor thirst, although | felt it safer
to put all upon short ratlons from the
beginning, but rather the awful. con-
tinuous strain Of hopeless loneliness
in that vast desert of ocean. The con-
temptation of it maddened us one mo-
ment into frenzy, and depressed us the
next into profound melancholy. We
could not shake 1t off, awake or in
dreams it held us to slavery. Every
where, everywhere the same eternal
swell of the seas, the same eternity
OF elouded sky, the same dull, dead
monotony of scene and motion, hour
after hour. day after night II drove
us mad, crushing down upon the brain
as though Il was a real weight, merci-
less, agonlzing. The air remained
frosty, the southwest wind chilling,
