the cockle-shell was thrown high up
on the crest of the wave. 1t was sick

high up against the sky, and then dis

no living otherwise in that sea, and the
very fact that 1t remained afloat was
evidence of sailors aboard. drew my
self to my feet, clinging with one hand
to a stay, following the other to make
my voice reach the deck below.
"Mr. Leayord"
"Aye, aye, sir"
'There is a small boat Off the port

"a what, sir?"
"a ships boat off the port quarter

"Aye, aye, sir"

the cabin after a glass, stopping long
enough to explain what we had sight

"You have not been in bed?" I asked,
Indignantly.
"Oh, but I have; indeed have. Why
I must have slept four hours, but lay
down fully dressed. II didn't know
what might happen. Could you see if
there were men in the boatY
"No, not to distinguish them with

that; but the boat must be occupied to

"But how could we?"
"The wind changed after midnight,

"Then, shall we stand by, sir?" asked
Leayord. "Why should we be picking

glanced aside at him.
"Why, Mr.. Leayord? Well, one rea-
son is, we are American seamen. Those
fellows can scarcely hurt us now, and

us to make port. We've got to have
firemen below, and RapeIlo would be

she is"
Again I caught the boat in the focus
Of the leveled glasses; it was measura-
bly, nearer now, but 1 could only see
four men aboard the craft, the other
two being White and Rapello. The
tiller was gone, the man at the stern,
Jim White, steering by means of a
long oar; the sail had been whipped
into rags. and q canvas shirt substi-
tuted. One man was on his knees bail
ing furiously, and Tony had an arm in
sling. SO intent was in this en-
deavor to decipher the details of the
tragedy through the glass, I was un-
aware that Vera had climbed the lad
der, and now stood beside me, clinging
to the rail. Her voice aroused me to
her presence.
"Why, there are only four Of them?'
Eyes; they must have passed through
Hades last night" 1 answered. "Here,
take the glass; there are two bodies
lying in the bottom Of the boat"

"Good; hold her as she is, and have

board; has anyone suggestion?"
"a running moose from the lower
mAin-yard, sir" said Olson.
"That will take only one at time"
"Two, If they're quick enough about

Those in the boat saw what we were
attempting, realizing at once that we
meant to take them aboard. The re-
lief felt was instantly expressed by
the waving of hands, and faint cry
reached us across the water. Mccain

We slaht a Boat.

What Immediately followed; how we
made ourselves shipshape the best we
could, and held on for the next few
hours, has comparatively but little to
10 with the interest of this story. Lea
Yord brought the two men on deck, and
as Dade was no sailor, but more likely
to prove faithful, he was sent down the
ladder to assist Masters in the fire.

ninistration aboard with sea-golng

received, and went to work under my
orders with hearty good will. We were
all four Of us capable seamen, and an
hour Of hard work placed the Indian
Chief in very fair condition, so far as
deck and running rigging was con-
cerned. At the end, however, standing
on the forecastle, and staring aft,
had faith that we could handle the
hooker, even with that small crew, and
bring her safely into the harbor of St.
Johns. Our earlier weather predlc-
tions were not yet verified, at least to
any serious extent. Indeed there was
nothing particular to worry about, ex-
ceptlng that temporary steering ap-
paEatus, and It had worked long enough
now so as to give me confidence.
"What do you make Of 1t, Mr.. Lea

FARMERS NATIONAL CONGRESS

Comprising as it does the strongest and most
effective organization of farmers in the world,
the coming of the Farmers National Congress
to Florida for its next session is most important.
For more than third of century the organ
ization has engaged in progressive effort in be-
half of Americas agricultural development. It
has accomplished great good and in solving the
problem incidental to present unusual wartime
conditions it finds its greatest usefulness.
The congress will bring to Florida the most
successful and most progressive farmers or every
state in the union. They will come with seri-
Gus purpose and their discussion of agricultural
questions should prove beginning full develop
ment of its almost unlimited resources for the
production of food.
The delegates, too, will profit through their

exhibit of the widely diversified farm products

covering the territory from the Perdido to the
tip of the peninsula will show the visitors accom-

many of them to locate here where they may
enjoy the advantages of all year productiveness
and reap the profits certain to follow application

PENSACOLA PRICES

MANY complaints of profiteering by local mer
chants, especially by food dealers have come to
The Journal recently. Several of them have
I been referred to Food Administrator Bonacker
and careful comparison has been made of food
product prices in Pensacola and elsewhere The
result is very favorable to local merchants.
Prices are high here, but they range as low
or lower than elsewhere.
For instance comparison of advertisements In
SATURDAYS Journal with the lowest current price
lists OF Atlanta, Louisville Mobile and Jackson
vile show that the Pensacola housewife buys
her supplies for 5 per cent to Is per cent less
than she would pay in the other cities.
Standard brands of ham, lard, shortening,
baking powder evaporated cream, condensed
milk and many other standard package goods are
cheaper here by cent or two per item Other
standard lines are as cheap here in the low
est priced stores elsewhere Not a standard item
in the list was quoted at it's highest price by
Pensacola dealers.
Fair comparison of bulk goods was not pos
sible as the grades are not standardized but the
price lists indicate that they, also, are cheaper
in Pensacola.
The basic price on standard package goods is
the same to dealers everywhere. Freight diff
ferentials favor certain localities, but with due
allowance for that item of cost, there is usually
little difference in the selling prices of stores of
similar class in different cities.
In every locality there are merchants who
through better management, economies in SER
vice or volume of business, sell more cheaply
than their competitors. Prudent housewives
soon learn which those stores are watch their
advertisements carefully and profit by their
offerings.
Occasionally, merchant may have opportun-
Ity and may yield to the temptation to take an
unfair profit but it is usually upon special line
! temporarily inflated by a demand greater than
the supply. OF course, there is the short-weight
and substitution cheat to contend with every
where, but he is less common in Pensacola than
elsewhere and when detected less of trade
makes the practice a costly one for him.
Some pro6tcering in foodstufs is quite prob

Of the facts should be reported at once to C. S
Bonacker, food administrator for this county
whose duty it is to investigate thoroughly and
if guilt is established to bring the or1enu-,
speedy justice.
But before condenlning Pensacola grocers as
profiteers. make sure to compare their prices
with the prices in other cities. The test will
probably show that whatever profteering exists
took place before the goods reached the local
dealers shelves and that he is content with
reasonable profit. Your investigation will also
