that" pointing to a particu-

inclined to look for the
wife Just to make such a
home mine. 1t must be great
TO own a piece of old mother
earth with a home on it that
you can call your own"
Well, he was talking to a
man who had a home of his
own and a wife and a bOv,
one who knew what they all
meant, whereas this poor
boob could only wonder.
If people waited until thew
could own a home of their
own before they got mar
ried, many marriages would
never have taken place, 50
marriage is probably the first
step; but if marriage is the
first step, then the purchase
NJ a home is the second sten.
In fact, home buying is made

bride. There is no need to

ashore on another island with a gang
to get water, took Ashton with him
The young man helped fill the water
casks, but at the first opportunity
slipped into the bush. The pirates
searched for him in vain.
Fol five days the young American
sat at the edge of the woods and
watched the island of the pirates. On
the fifth day their ship sailed away
and he felt safe, even though alone on
a desert island.
Clad only in ian Osnaburg frock
and trousers, a milled cap, but neither
shirt, shoes, stockings nor anything
else" the youth lived alone nine
months on this island. He found it to
be "well-watered, with high hills and
deep Valleys" in which were many
fruit trees. He lived on figs, COCO
nuts and IAN orange, oval-shaped, of a
brownish color without, and red with

There We're wild pigs On the island,
and turtles on the beach, but he had
no knife or weapon, and no means of
making fire for cooking meat.
One day the young Crusoe saw a
small canoe approaching the island.
AS it grounded on the beach, a man
stepped out of it. He proved to be a

For three days the Scot lived on
the island with the lad. Then he
started for another island, to kill wild
hoes" Ashton was too weak to go
with him. A storm came up, and Ash
ton never saw him again.
But the youth now had a knife and
a flint, and life to him became endur-
able. He roasted the delicate flesh of
the tortoise, and regained strength on
the diet it afforded.
Three months passed. Then the
young sailor, wandering on the beach,
found the old mans canoe stranded.
In this he left the island. and reached
another; but being chased away by
buccaneers he kept on, finally reach

Sea Lure Now Strong
Family Traditions Stimulate
Young Mariners

The lure of service in the Merchant
Marine was never stronger than now,
and it is noticed by officials that many
of the candidates for places aboard
ship are members of former sea-going
families.
Among the many young Americans
now applying to the United States ship
ping boards recruiting service for
training as deck officers, there appear
ed the other day one named Ashton,
who was accepted and placed in a navi-
CATION school.
He said the dangers of the subma-
rine zone had no terrors for him (; that
he came of a family of mariners who
in earlier times had faced many dan
gers from wars, pirates and at sea and
were ever ready to sail again.
To prove his statement the candidate
produced a book detailing the adven-
lures of one of his ancestors, who was
seized by pirates, escaped from them,
and lived nearly two years like Robin
son Crusoe on a desert island, but nev-
er regretted that he chose the life of
a sailor.
This was Phillip Ashton of Marble
head, whose adventures were so extra
ordinary that Pastor John Barnard
made the young mans safe return
home the subject of a m from
the text, eff it be so, our God whom
we serve is able to deliver us from the
burning, fiery furnace, and he will de-
liver us out of thy hands, o King"
Phillip Ashton commanded a fishing
schooner, with a crew of four men and
a boy, and when harboring for Sunday
near Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, he was
seized by one Ned Low, a pirate, who
also took a dozen other peaceful fishing
craft.
Putting his prisoners aboard his own
ship, to be SEN to Boston, Low trans
ferred his crew to a Marblehead
schooner, and started anew. Ashton
was pressed into his service, at the
point of a pistol.
The pirates ranged the seas east
ward, and off the Azores captured a
large Portuguese pink. In this, with
the schooner in company, they sailed
to "the Triangles, about forty leagues
to the eastward of Surinam." Here
they lost the pink, which filed and
sank while being careened for clean
ing.
Resuming their cruise in the schoon-
er, they took several prizes in the
West Indies. They then proceeded to
the Gulf of Honduras, where they land
ed on an island, built hUts and pro-
ceeded to spend their time in %carousal.
Ashton had been ever watchful for
tt chance to escape, and here n pre-
sented itself. The cooper being sent
