record, as are most typhoons encountered
by oneself; but it was sufficiently naughty
to make all hands uncomfortable, II not
actually miserable, for several days.
1t was the second morning of the blow
that Smith saw the Sailor. I had myself
seen him about the decks on several occa-
sions during the voyage-I'm an observing
chap, you know--a rosy-cheeked, shril-
voiced, sometimes profane, boy of the sea-
man rate, noticeable for his restless activity.
But doubt if, up to that time, Smith had
been aware that there was anybody on the
cruiser except himself, the captain, little
Edith, and, on occasion, his 'confrere,
George Wandless, you know But Fate
had an order in hand that the reserved Mr..
Smith should see one other person on that
vessel.
THAT morning, about nine O'Clock, while
the ship was rolling and pitching horribly,
a messenger boy knocked at my stateroom
door, bringing the compliments of the
captain, and if Mr.. Wandless would like to
see hard bit of seamanship, he should
come to the flying bridge at once
Having some theoretical knowledge Of
seamanship and navigation, I take con-
siderable delight IN watching seamen at
difficult work in their element, just as any
amateur sportsman joys at beholding the
feats of the professionals But | wasn't
seaman enough to relish the job of getting
to the pilot house, on the flying bridge.
With the maindeck almost ceaselessly
awash with huge waves broken and hating,
any one of which would whisk man into
billowy oblivion as it would match stick,
and with every inch and shred of the ship,
which was leaping before the gale like a
whipped dog, dashed by spraying spume
that hammered ones body sore and took
his breath away, would have been well
content to forego the marine sport in pros
pect, whatever it was to be. But pride
overcame repugnance, and | sacrificed my
stateroom ease, such as it was. Smith
came along, not knowing any better.
" | met Smith in the wardroom country
he having received the same obviously
complimentary invitation as myself. A;

J the open spaces adjoining the stateroom'
of the officers. In ships of the YGa0lbd1
type, these staterooms are arranged alonl
both sides and across aft under a poor
deck. Emerging through door at tn,
forward end from the wardroom country
on to the maindeck, one is still partially
protected by the overhang of the pooI
deck, and by rows of offices and pantrie
on each side.
"Smith and I had reached this first stag

around it made her look like some kind Of a

that, when left Smith in his stateroom,

to learn-they said he was lost. Having
placed the ife-preserver around the child

self up to the sea, which was a. savage
mother at that hour.
Il asked another deckhand about him.

the abysmal tunult of waters marrying the
ships waist, his uplifted hands holding the
shapeless thing, which l afterward knew
to be a life-preserver.
while Smith and I chung helplessly
bepuzzled to the poop rail, seven or eight
half-naked fellows tumbled themselves into
the starboard lifeboat, which hung from
elongated davits at the break of the poop,
while other men, manning the falls, leading
out on the quarterback, let the ropes run
out rapidly. Only men who knew how to
do it, could have done what saw them
do.

chance in a hundred for boat to belaunched

must have been while Smith and / were
standing upon this exact spot that little
Edith, whose playground was the ward
room country, came out on the maindeck
and was washed away from directly under
our feet Only the lookout man, whose
duty it is to have an eye everywhere, had
seen her.
Smith was standing in the open door Of
his stateroom when | got back, and beckoned
to me. He was a chastened but divinely
"'She's all right, he sobbed. She's come
around, and the doctor says there will be
no danger. I'd like to meet the man who
saved her, Wandless.'
" You'll go far journey and damp one
to do that, I said. He's somewhere under
the South Pacific Ocean, which / expect is a
more peaceful place than its surface just
now -
"ReaI tears came into his eyes.
"Isn't it a shame?' he asked, gently and
simply. I shall never look at her again
without seeing him, shooting down like
lost soul, into that ocean hell-for her.
She was worth it, Wandless, but wish to
God he could have lived to be thanked by
her, now, and when she is a woman. Who
was he, do you know?'
If was despicabIe of me, but my heart
was heavy, for I, too, was seeing again the
vision Of the descending soul; and even in
the semi-sacredness of the hour I couldn't
curb my tongue.
He was the Sailor, Smith, / told him
gravely, "a Yankee tar; the same who
wouldn't pass hawser through the gun
port because it would be dangerous"
The story-teIler leaned back and ignited
the cigar that he had been fondling, thus
intimating that his story was ended. The
lady, who had not stirred or spoken during
the continuance Of the narrative, now turned
her head and studied her companions pro-
file curiously. Then she looked away again,
across the sunlit breakers toward the olive
green man-of-war in the ofng. When
presently she spoke, there was no trace Of
hauteur in the voice that without it was
wholesomely sweet.

Halcyon House another time, / intend to

safely in that dreadful sea. But at the
critical moment the falls went on the whir,
and the boat settled birdlike into the chasm
that was rising up to crush it. The next
instant it was riding the crest of a great wave
astern of us, beyond which it went out of
sight.
"Lubber like, l directed my own eyes
always toward the spot where the boat had
vanished. And when suddenly a man at
my elbow shouted 'Boat-O!' I stared about
bewildered
GA titanic billow was bearing down upon
us, close at hand, and while looked at it
appalled, there showed above its summit
of snowy foam row of human heads-then
the boat, riding high over all, a spirit-a--

sea and the storm.

God did it-perhaPs it just happened so;
but drifting straight downward on the slope
of that moving mountain, the ifeboat slid
like thing alive, under the davits where it
belonged
GAS the roll of the ship dipped the dang
ling hooks within their reach, the men in
bow and stern caught and chung to them.
They didn't try to hook on the boat-that
would have been suicidal. The bow and
the stern men-I guess they were a coxswain
and a seaman-wrapped their bare legs
about the thwarts on which they sat and
simply held on. The strain on their limbs
must have been at the breaking point.
Gas the boat came to the level of the ships
ridge rope-that's wire rope stretched
about ten feet above the maindeck, in
tended to support awnings-the crew, ex-
cept one who held a burden in his arms,
leaped out and caught the taut wire.
The burden was passed to one Of these, the
remaining man sprang to safety, and the
two human chain-links let 60 with their
legs, dropping the cutter back into the nav
of the sea, where in the blink of an eye it
was dashed into fragments against the
ships side,
In the excitement, Smith and I had
advanced a little way upon the footbridge.
We stood leaning over the lifeline, quite
safe and exhilarated in the intoxication Of
the storm, watching the marvellous escape
of these men from the sea.
"'Go-awd in heaven!' suddenly gasped
Smith.
"He was leaning out so dangerously far

permitting my eyes to follow his.
In the arms Of seaman, who still sat
astride the ridge rope, lay the limp form Of

stances would have greatly excited me, but

Teams at MorgantoWn and
Marietta This Season.

BUCKHANNoN, April 1.-Two
Of the most important track meets
ever arranged for Wesleyan's cinder
path artists were closed here We'd
nesday when agreement we're reached
with the Marietta College and West
Virginia University athletic author
tiles for dual meets to be held on
the home fields OF these institutions.
The first meet, and one that will
determine track supremacy for West
Virginia for the college year, will be
held or the West Virginia athletic
field at Morgantown on Monday,
May %. This meet Is part Of n
two-year agreement made between
the athletic management OF the uni
versity and Wesleyan, the Meth
odists going to Morgantown this year
and West Virginia coming to Buck
harmon in 1917. This meet has al
ways been in. reality the state
meet" heretofore and has held held
at Clarksburg or Fairmont, but inas-
much as West Virginia and Wesleyan
offered all the entertainment. 1t was
decided to stage the event for the
next two years. at least, on the home
fields Of the institutions.
The meet with Marietta will be
held on the Marietta field at Marietta
on Saturday, June 10, and will be
the. second event Of the kind ever
held between these institutions, Ma
rietta acting as the third party at the
triangular meet at Clarksburg last
year in which West Virginia beat
Wesleyan out for first place by, less
than two points OF margin. In this
meet Wesleyand scored fifty-eight
points to about twenty-five for Ma
rletta. but on Marietta's home field 1t
will put UP a harder battle.
In addition to these two big meets
Wesleyan will have three or four
meets with minor Institutions and
inter-class meets, making altogether
the biggest season at sport ever ar
ranged for this school.

Huntington Saturday and
Start Trip Sunday.

HUNTINGTON, April 15.-The
Marshall college baseball team is be-
mig put through the hardest work Of
the year in spite OF the victories over
Wesleyan last week. Outside or the
great hitting ability, the team show
ed very poorly and Coach Chambers
is driving his, men at top speed to
get them ready for the big western
trip starting Sunday.
The local coach says that his team
is much better than last season, but
the greatly increased strength OF
Wesleyan and West Virginia will
make 1t much harder to win the
state championship. Wesleyan by
the end of the season should be great,
as its pitching staff is very fine. The
fact that 1t has FIVE men who are
liable to break up a game any min
ute makes 1t dangerous. West vlr-
ginia is being looked upon as the
finest fielding aggregation, but the
hitting of the other two teams make
them more formidable.
