Crusoe"
BY Daniel Defoe

l knew Il was no less than ten
hours before the boat could be on
float again. and by that time 1t
would be dark, and might be at
more liberty to see their mo-
tions, and to hear their discourse.
In the meantime l fitted myself
up for a battle as before. Or
dered Friday also to load himself
with arms. My figure indeed was
very fierce. l had my formidable
goatskin coat on. with the great
cap I have mentioned. naked
sword by my side, two pistols in
my belt, and a gun upon each
shoulder.
1t was my design, as said
above. not to have made any at
tempt till dark; but about two
o'clock they were all gone strag-
Cling into the woods, and, as I
thought, were laid down to sleep.
The three poor distressed men
were. however, set down under
the shelter. of great tree out
of sight of any OF the rest.
Upon this I resolved to discov-
er myself to them, and learn
something of their condition. l
came as near them undiscovered
as could, and then. before any
of them saw me. called aloud
to them in Spanish, what are
We, gentlemen
They started up at the noise,
but we're ten times more con-
founded when they saw me and
the uncouth figure that l made.
/ perceived them just going to
fly from me, when I spoke to
them in English.
Gentlemen" said I, do not be
surprised at me: perhaps you may
have friend near you when you
did not expect It,"
"He must be sent directly from
heaven them" said one of them
very gravely to me, "for our con-
dition is past the help of man"
"All help is from heaven, SIR"
said /; "but can you put a stran-
ger in the way how to help you,
for you seem to me to be in some
great distress?"
The poor man, with tears run
ming down his face, returned, "Am
IStalking to God or man? Is it
real man or an angel?"
BE in no fear about that, SIR"
said l. II am a man, an English
man, and disposed to assist you.
l have one servant only; we have
arms and ammunition. Can we
serve you? What is your case?"
"Our case" said he, sir, is too
long to tell you while our MUIR
derers are so near; but in short,
sir, l was commander of that
ship. My men have mutinied
against me, and have set me on
shore in this desolate place, with
these two men with me-one my
mate, the other passenger
where we expected to perish, be-
lieving the place to be uninhabit-
ed"
Where are those brutes, your
enemies?" said 1; do you know
where they are gomez"
There they lie, sir" said he.
pointing to a thicket of trees.
my heart trembles for fear they
have seen us and heard you speak;
if they have, they will certainly
murder us ALL"
WELL" says /, "let us retreat
out of their view or hearing. lest
they awake, and we will resolve
further"
So they willingly went back
with me, till the woods covered
us from them.
Look you, SIR" said I, eff l
venture upon your deliyerance

/ next had a serious discourse
with the Spaniard.
There were 16 more of his
countrymen and Portuguese, who,
having been cast away and made
their escape to that side, lived
there at peace indeed with the
savages. but were very sore put
to II for necessaries, and indeed
for life.
He told me they had some
arms with them. but that they
had neither powder nor ball, the
washing of the sea having spoil
ed all their powder.
So I resolved to send the Span
lard and the old savage over to
the mainland, to bring back those
he had left there; and. after they
had regained their strength, they
went away in one of the canoes
which they were brought in, when
they came as prisoners.

! was surprised when, turning my
eyes to the sea, presently saw
boat at about a league and
half's distance, standing in for
the shore with a shoulder-of-mut-
ton sail, as they call 1t, and the
wind blowing pretty fair to bring
them in.

ive-glass and climbed to the top
of the hill. 1 had scarce set my
foot on the hill when my eye

at anchor, at about league and
a half from the shore.
By my observation it appeared
plainl yto be an English ship. and
the boat appeared to be an Eng
fish long-boat. l saw the boat
draw near the shore about half
mile from me.
When they were on shore l was
fully satisfied that they were
Englishmen. Z They were in all
eleven men, whereof three of
them, | found, were unarmed and
bound; and when the first four
or five of them were jumped on
shore, they took those three out

One of the three / could per-
ceive using the most passionate
gestures of entreaty; the other
two, l could perceive. lifted up
their hands sometimes, and ap-
peared concerned indeed, but not
to such a degree as the first.
l was perfectly COMPOUNDED at
the sight, and knew not what the
meaning of it should be.
Friday called out to me in Eng

YES" says Friday, "they will

mo, no." says I, Friday; I am
afraid they will murder them in

will not eat them"
1t was just at the top of high
water when these people came on
shore, and while they rambled
about to see what kind of a place
they were in, they had carelessly
stayed till the tide was spent, and
the water was ebbed considerably
away, leaving their boat aground.

sea, the consensus of the military ex-
ports was that the United States with
its enormous length of coast line must
ever rely on Its fleet to defend its
shores
In the discussion that preparedness
agitation in congress provoked 1t was

In the two sessions comprising the
sixty-fourth congress there have been
authorized and appropriated for no
less than lis war craft. Nor Is this
all. The first session adopted a three
year building program, the construc-
ton OF which should be undertaken
prior to July /, 1918. This program
included this allotment of fighting

Nowadays, the way life goes. the
man Is concerned with acquiring the
money for the living. His are the
responsibilities and he must meet
them. The wife. in most instances,
Is concerned only with spending the
income.
Because OF modern conditions, the
place of earning the livelihood is so
far away from the home that the
wife usually has little realization of
the effort or strain 1t may require to
get 1t. She doesn't appreciate 1t at

they have no idea of the value of

WOMEN TO Be TRAINED
IN FIRST Aid WORK
Bureau of Mines Will Teach Wives and
Daughters of Miners.

A step that may result in giving the
nation the invaluable asset OF hundreds
of thousands Of women trained in first
aid-to-the-injured methods is being taken
by the Bureau Of Mines, Department
Of the Interior, in giving the wives and
daughters OF the more than a million
miners IN the country an opportunity to
take the bureaus frst-aid course.
Since the bureau was created, it has
trained 5000 miners in first-aid in order
that they might be competent to treat
their fellowmen in cases of accident
This has resulted in the lessening Of
suffering from injuries and in the saw
ing Of life to such an extent that the
bureau has decided to extend the bene-
fits to the wives and daughters on the
theory that the careful dressing Of
wounds and sanitary care of the in
jured in the homes will further reduce
suffering.
Eight mine-rescue and frst-aId cars
with trained crews are now in the various
mining fields carrying on this work and
by January !, 1918 there will be three
more cars ready. the training being car
rie9 directly to the doors of the miners
With the idea of setting the proper
example before the wives and daugh-
tiers Of the miners, the women connected
with the Bureau Of Mines and thei wives
and daughters Of employees determined
at meeting Held yesterday afternoon
at the office of the bureau to take the
flrst-aid course.
Van. H. Manning, director of the bu-
reau, addressed the meeting and out
lined the procedure. calling attention to
the national emergency that exists and
suggesting that women properly trained
in first-aid work might be of great value
to their country in the future. DR.. w.
A. Lynott, surgeon Of the bureau, has
been ordered to Washington to take
charge Of the training work.
