tire crew and all OF the passengers
were kept on deck and always alert
for fear the valient little tub might
not breast the next big wave that
came her way or might not be able
to toppel back Alright after the next
heavy gust Of wind struck her broad
side.
Nearly the whole outfit were kept
busy hanging on to pieces of the river
boat to keep them from going over
board. and as the river tug was abso-
lutely essential to the trip after ar
rival in ST Miehael's bay II meant 4
great deal to keep the pieces together.
Hanging onto that junk and try
ing TO dodge those big waves and at
the same time keep my mouth shut
80 as not to absorb too much ugly
salt water. certainly helped me spend
every minute OF the twenty-four hours
most handily." states the doctor.
When the storm was over DR.. oren-
dorH commenced to feel rather pecu-
liar In the regions of his stomach. For
some reason or other he could not
hold down that of which he had par
taken Yet he was hungry and insist
ed on eating. At last somebody gave
him the tip that he was 4 victim of
sea-sickness. ~fas. tank you bane
sea-seek- the gruff. yet kindly old
Swedish captain told him. and smiled
n little as he handed over the infor-
nation
The Doctors case was about the
only real one among the hundred men
and he was a victim Of more or less
joking for a few days. But when most
cases Of this kind commence TO &c,
well. the doctor started to get worse.
He went on from day to day almost
on the verge Of the river Stix and
wishing to be right In II or anywhere
else than where he was. with all the
agony OF rocking back and forth and
around as he had been doing since he
got on that boat
One day the captain came and look
ed at him with steady gaze for a long
time and small. serious wrinkles be-
gan to creep into his eountenance.
-Yas. I tank you bane sea-sick. awful
sea-sick." he said. but in n serious.
deep tone this time and then aside;

The captains concern was unusual
but also. was the case unusual. II
was almost two weeks since the doc
tor had eaten blessed thing that he
could keep down and he seemed to be
getting weaker every day. The cap
tain was very sympathetic and did not
want to lose a doctor from the expe-
dition II he could help H. But things
looked dubious and winding sheet
was hauled out where II would be con-
venIcni. Perhaps the doctor saw II.
probably not. but the next day he
commenced TO improve and the fol-
lowing day he was placed on deck.
Sitting idly there he noticed some
turnips piled together in corner. He
went over. picked one up, peeled II.
and ate II. 1t stayed down. That was
the irst food in exactly two weeks.
That evening the doctor went down
to the mess room and ate full meal
most heartily. Il don't know of any
experience l ever had that will stick
to me like that one particular one
has. and l don't remember of any
meal that has ever tasted quite so
good" said the doctor.
Tho next few days passed eventful-
ly but when the ship was about TWEEN
ty days out. one morning. the magic
cry. ship Ahoy," rang cut clear and
strong from the watch and instantly
all hands were on dock.
