transmit a bag of letters to India and
return with others to England In the

make the attempt. and difficulties at
once cropped up Coal at Port Said
was $50 ton, at Suez 500, SO he load
ed camels with coal and took them
across the sthmus. When he reached
Suez with the letters the steamer
which he had arranged to meet him
was not there This difficulty he sur
mounted by chartering an open Arab
boat and forcing the crew at the pistol
point to take him the 600 miles down
the Red sea to Jeddah, where he found
steamer to take him to Bombay. aud
the return journey he completed well
within the time Thenceforward the
isthmus route became the overland
route, for Waghorn was able to con-
vince the Arabs that the protection OF
the mails was better than looting
them, English gold being his strongest
argument.

MARCH STRAIGHT TO THE SEA
No Obstacle Able to Make Army Of
West Indian Grabs Sweve
From It's Course.

In the rivers and fresh-water
streams OF the West Indian noun
tains are quantities Of crabs that
scuttle away when anyone comes
near, just like any ordinary crabs.
But, as crabs go, these are very queer
crabs indeed.
When an American lady crab
wishes to lay her eggs. she lays them
without more ado and keeps them at
tached to her body until they are
hatched. But not SO her West Indian
cousin. She lives in the mountains,
but she feels that she must lay her
eggs In the sand of the seashore. No
where else will do.
SO, once year, all the West Indian
crabs gather in a great army, which
sometimes stretches 40 yards wide
and more than a mile long. Then
they set out for the sea, the males
leading and the females behind.
Nothing can turn this fierce little
army from its course. If house
stands in its way or a wall, or cliff,
over 1t goes. Sometimes hundreds Of
crabs are killed In their tracks, but
the host keeps straight on, turning
neither to the right nor to the left.
When the army arrives upon the
seashore, the females settle down con-
tentedly in the sand and deposit their
eggs And when the laying season
is over. the old crabs turn around and
march serenely home.
