Newport, r. l., Oct S.-Seventeen
days from Wilhefmshaven, the impe-
rial German submarine U-53 dropped
anchor in Newport harbor Saturday.
Almost before the officers of the
American fleet of warships, through
which the stranger had nosed her
way, had recovered from their aston
ishment the undersea fighter had le-
livered a message for the German
ambassador, and, weighing anchor,
turned Brenton's reef lightship and
disappeared beneath the waves just

hung up a new worlds record in

that he had called at Newport sim

In two days we were both over be-
ing seasick and had chance to look
around u.s. Our ship was a sidewheel
steamer Of about a thousand tons, and
she carried $50 passengers, which was
about 200 more than her regular COM
plement. They were as miscellaneous
a lot as mortal eye ever fell upon,
from the lank Maine Yankee to the
tall, salloW, black haired man from
Louisiana. | suppose, too, all grades
of the social order must have been
represented, but in our youth and high
spirits we did not go into details of
that sort. Every man, with the eXcep-
ton of dozen or so, wore red shirt,
a SLOUGH hat, Il revolver and a bowie
knife, and most of US had started to
grow boards. Unless one scrutiniZed
closely such unimpOrtant details as fea-
lures, ways of speech or manners, one
could not place his mans former sta
tus, whether as lawyer, physician or
rouStabout. And we were too busy for
that | never saw such a busy place
as that splattering old ship slowly
WallOWing her way south toward the
tropical seas. We had $4,000 things
to discuss, beginning with Marshalls
first discovery. skipping through the
clouds of rlmorS of all sorts, down to
intimate details of climate, outfit, pros
poets, plans and the best methods of
getting at the gold. And to all these
subjects We brought Il dozen points of
view, each Of which was strange to
all the others. We had with us men
from every stratum of society and
from every point Of the compass. Each
was a product of his own training and
mental upbringing and was incapable,
without great effort, of understanding
his neighbours point of view. Com
munication and travel were in those
days very limited, it must be remem-
bered, and different communities and
sections of the country produced strong
types With us discussion became an
adventurous exploration into a new
country The man from Maine could
not but be interested in finding out
what that strange, straight haired, dark
creature from Carolina might think of
even the most commonplace subject.
Only our subjects were not common
place.
SO my chief impression of that voy
age down was of knots Of men talk
ing hurriedly and excitedly. as though
there were not Il moment to waste.

certainly looked bold and warlike when
he came along. Where's that con-
founded mozo? Oh, you have him,
Frank! Good boy! Come here, my
amiable citizen. 1 guess you under
stand English after all, or you couldn't
have bargained so shrewdly with our
blackleg friends"
The flush slowly faded from John
ny's face Yank's sole contribution to
the changed conditions was to spit
with great care and to shift the butt
of his rifle to the ground.
"Now," Talbot was admOnishing the
boatman, that was very bad. When
you make a bargain stick to it. But
I'll tell you what I will do. | will ask
all people, saDe, everywhere-your peo-
pie, my people-and if everybody pays

no pay 500 unless you get us to Cruces
POGO pronto, sabe? Now we start"
The boatman broke into torrent Of
talk.
"Says he's got to find his assistant"
Talbot explained to us. "Come on, my
son. I'll just go with you after that
precious assistant"
We sat on the edge of our boat for
half an hour, watching the most COM
ical scenes. Everybody was afflicted
with the same complaint-absence OF
boatmen Some took possession and
settled themselves patiently beneath
their little roofs. Others made forays
and returned dragging protesting ma
tives by the arm. These generally
turned out to be the wrong natives,

"Oh-yes--well, make it a year and a

Johnny was eagerly anxious to know

ton of about a dozen from his own
south. AS far as | could see, they did
not in the slightest degree differ ex-
cept in dress from any of the other
thirty or forty from that section, but
Johnny distinguished. He stiffened as
though Yank's gun barrel had taken
the place of his spine whenever one
of these men was near, and he was so
coldly and pointedly courteous that l
would have slapped his confounded
face if he had acted so to me.

a lucky while the run BOATS comple-
ment would be gathered, and then the
craft would pull away up the river
to the tune of pistol shots and vocif-
erous yells.
At the end of the period mentioned
Talbot and the two men appeared.
They were quite micable-indeed,
friendly-and laughed together as they
came. The assistant proved to be
a tremendous negro. nearly naked,
with fine big muscles and a good ma
tured. grinning face. He wore large
brass ear circlets and bracelets of cop
per. We all pushed the canoe TO the
very edge of the water and clambered
aboard The negro bent his mighty
shoulders We were af1oat.
Our padrone, as Talbot told us we
should call him, stood in front clad in
a colored muslin shirt. The broad
sluggish river was alive with boats, all
making their way against the current.
BY the time the lagoon had narrowed,
however they had pretty we'll scat
tered
We entered tropical forest. and

The banks were lined to the waters
edge with vegetation, so that one could
see nothing but the Jungle There
were great palm trees, which we rec
ogniZed. and teak trees. which we did
not, but which Talbot identified for US.
1t was very bald sort of tree. as I
remember it. Then there were ire
mendous sycamores in which were
ants nests as big as beehives. and ba-
mana trees with torn leaves, probably
the most exotic touch of all, and beau
tiful noble mangoes like dOmes of
green cathedral, and various sorts of
canes and shrubs and lilies growing
among them.
Our men padded steadily ahead.
The negro hummed strange minor
songs to himself Suddenly he flashed
his teeth at us and broke into full
voice:
oh, Susannah, don't cry for me!
I'm off to California wild my banjo on my
knee.
The accent was queer. but the words
and tune were right. Talbot question
ed him in Spanish.

"Too many" muttered Johnny. 81

Hardly had the boat struck the beach
when both of our men leaped ashore
and raced madly toward the huts.

boat beyond the grip of the river.
We followed, considerably mystified.
Quick as we were, we found both the

dozen others, already seated at Il

Driver From Your Right Has Right
of Wav

If all drivers of automobiles and other
vehicles would obey the rule of giving
the right of way to the driver approach
ing from the right at the crossings,
there would be much less trouble and
fewer accidents says the Waukesha
Freeman. Laws and ordinances require
this but it seems there are so many who
either do not care for ''rules Of the road"
that it makes driving much more diff
cult and far more dangerous than it
should be. In the larger cities many
arrests are made because of failure to
observe the very simple rules and it
would result in much good # the same
plan was followed everywhere.
