 A dog sets down in his skin, tail handy for wagging-all his posses sions right thar.

 l didn't hear the two horses come, but, there's young person behind me sort of attracting attention. When he moves there's a tinkle of iron, creak. ing leather, honsy smell, too, and pres ently he sets down along of me, cross. legged. showed him the peanuts, but he lit a cigarette, offering me one Though he wasn't, he just felt sameI as seafaring man, so 1 didn't mindI him being there.
 He wanted to look at my sheath knife. and when I handed it he seenI the lettering Green River" on the blade. He'd been along Green Rive1I and there's no knives like that.
 Then Id got to know about thenI iron things on his heels-spurs. WeI threw peanuts, my knife agin his' spurs, and he won easy. Queer how all the time he's wanting to show him self off. He'd never seen salt water before. So we went iu swimming, and afterward there's a lunch he'd go with him-quart of pickled onions and cigarettes.

 She called him an injun. She called him--I dunno what she didn't call him I'd been asleep, and when I woke up she was cooking breakfast while she called him a lot more things she must have forgot to say. But he carried me in his arms out through the little low door and it was stabbing cold with a blaze of northern lights.
 He tucked me up warm on the ko matik, he hiJChed up the hUskies, and mushed, way Ip the tickle, and through the soft bush snow, and at suaup we made his winter tilt on Torn gak Creek.

 "Well, Ina'am," says the captain, sent your baggage aft? Oh, we'll soon get your baggage aboard"
 Then l heard him on deck seeing mothers dunnage into the spare berth aft, and the nigger's turkey thrown out on the wharf.
 Sort of strange to me remembering mother, gaunt, bitter-hard, always in the right, with lots to say. And here was little mother sobbing her heart out on the breast of my jersey. Just the same mother changed. Said she was fed up with the Labrador, coming away to see the world, meet folks. and have a good time; but would I be ashamed of having her with me at sea?
 Shamed? Ali the ways down to Joe Beef's clear to Rimouski you'll hear that yarn today, of how the old sea custom of winning a berth in fair fight was practiced by Q lady, aboard Of the Pawnticket.
 You've heard of ships husbands, but we'd the first ships mother And the way she crep' in was surely insidi- GUS. Good word that. She's got to be queen, and the schooner's a sea palace, when we suddenly discovered she only signed as cook.
 Now we're asleep at eleven knots on a beam wind, and Key West wide on the starboard bow, the same being in the second dog-watch when I'm in- yited aft. There's the old man setting in the captains palace, there's mother at the head of the table sewing, and she asks me to sit in the mates seat as if was chief officer instead of masters dog.
 Son" says she-queer, little, soft ehuckle, "son. You'n never guess"
 I was sort of sulky at raving riddles put
 Then the old man gets red to the gills. giggling. He slaps hisself on his fat knee and wriggles. Then he up and kisses mother with a big smack right on the lips.
 Can't guess?" says mother.
 "I'm the old man, he giggles, "she's the old woman" Then he reached out his paw. Put her there. son!" says he; whats yer name, boy?"
 He'd a hand like bear trap. "Smithi" I squealed. "Smith!"
 Fast" says he. "FilI yourself a goblet of that ere sherry wine. with some sugar. Drink, you cub. to Cap tain and Mrs. Smith. Now of with ye, and pass the bottle forrard."
 Next day, or Eext week, or maybe the Monday following. the ships got a headache, with the sky sitting down on the mastheads, the sea like oil. the sheets skipping the shadows on the deck, where the tar bofIs, and our feet is like overdone toast.
 The sky's like copper edged with sheet lightning, then there's scud in a hurry overhead, the horizon folding in. and funneEshaped cloud to ths southard wrapping up the sky.

II occurred aboard tho 'Istria"
