MANY MONTHS AT SEA
SOME REMARKABLY LONG voY-
AGES ON RECORD.


The other day there was reported
an Italian ship in the English channel
1856 days out from Astoria Bar. that
had been spoken by no other ship in
all that time. Within the experience
of the deep-Bea sailor such passages
are nothing unusual, particularly on
the outward voyage to the Pacific,
when Cape Horn was to be weathered
and its prevailing westerly winds
won through.
On March ., 1910, the four-masted
bark lnvernesshire sailed from Ham
burg, bound for Santa Rosalia, In the
Gulf of California. During a passage
that included such incidents as her
temporary abandonment by her crew
in dread of her laundering she was
forced to put into the Falklands to re-
tit, and sailed away again on her in
terrupted voyage on September 81.
From that time she was neither seen
nor heard of until she arrived safely
at her destination on February 2, 1911,
1888 days out from her original port
CT departure.
The voyage of the Invernesshire al
most compares with the performances
of the cumbersome craft of earlier nav
igators.
On November 10. 1887, the Desire,
under command of one Thomas Cav
endish. a gentleman of Suffolk, Eng
land, set sail from the headlands of
California for the English channel.
At break of day on June of the fol-
lowing year she fell in sight of the is
land of st. Helena; on July 3 she
crossed the line, and after holding
the brave trade winds to the limit OF
40 degrees north latitude, recovered
the long-wished-for port of Portsmouth
on September Z, 1888.
The sailing master Of the Desire
thought it worthy of record that, rum
ring merrily before the wind under
all the sail she could carry, his vessel
comprised 140 miles between noon
and noon, boast that would expose
the modern shipmaster to the derision
of his companions in every ship chan
dler's shop of the ports he fire.
quented.
Among some extraordinary voy-
ages made by deep sea sailing craft
within recent years, there may be
mentioned that of the Beacon Rock.
engaged on a short costal trip be-
tween two Australian ports. After
all hope of her safe arrival had been
abandoned, she turned up at Talca-
huano, Chile, some 5000 miles from
her intended destination.
Being in light trim, and consequent
ly with no grip on the water, she had
been unable to make any progress
against a persistent head wind, and
her master had been compelled to
square yards and make fair wind
Of it across the broad Pacific.
Another large four-masted bark, the
Buteshire, had the remarkable expe-
rience last year of circling round the
MINDLESS Gulf of Panama like a cir
Gus horse until she was obliged to put
back, 80 days out and short of pro-
visions, to her port of departure.

"Any sort of man is worth having
except the sort they call AN ideal hus-
band For perfection is most per-
nickety thing to live with. Give me a
man with some lop-sidedness about
him, and not sort of wallpaper-pat-
tern person, all parted down the mid
die. and with both sides matching to
a hair. Give me a man that's fit to
drive a woman crazy with the way he
goes on: his coat all rucked across
the back, the tops of his boots out
side his trousers. and his waistcoat
telling all the world that he's had an
egg for breakfast. That kind of a
man is an everlasting refreshment to
a woman. There's an unexpectedness
about the poor. benighted thing that
keeps up her interest in him. He Is
always to be continued in our next,
so to speak, and you can generally
count on him to provide you with
some new excitement whenever things
threaten to get dull. and

When the Red CROSS ReIleved.

1t is possible that none of the many
countries whose representatives form
the International Red Cross has broad
ened the work after the manner Of the
American National Red Cross. From
the organization of the body in 1881
the late Miss Clara Barton was presi-
dent until her recent death and soon
after her election began to urge that
its sphere of usefulness. its mission OF
mercy might be broadened by giving
relief in all great calamities. This
principle became cardinal with the
body and the reports show that more
than $2.00O,0OO has been spent for
such relief, the most notable instances
being the Michigan fires of 1881;
Florida yellow fever, 1888; Johnstown
flood, 1889; Russian famine, 1912;
South Carolina tidal wave, 1898; Ar
menian massacres, 1896; Spanish
American war, 1898; Galveston tidal
wave, 1900; Mont Pelee eruption.
1902, with many other lesser energies
making for the relief of suffering.
