garbies believed. This chap WAS the
real original Baron AunciaAuseu when
It came to yaRnins. and for . while he
had me going too. He would whisper
some startling tale to NJ and make us
promise not to tell, a. he had picked
It from some other ship's message, and
tAs Old Man would speead-sasie him
II he fopnA It out. Thsy peobebly
weald have logged him. at that, II they

He told me- ooe tine that Henry
Tord had invented soaasGhing O. other
for locating subs niles away, and also
another device tAAk would draw the
sub right up to It and swallow 1t
whole. He had . let Of other yarns

% sot prstty tired Of this STUFF
aftse Q while and when We pat out
frem Brsst o. ~ fourth voyage I
eot this fellow a dsck In roagh
weather and began talking to him
about the chap who had gone over
board the time bs1oce end haA bsen
cut up by tie propeller. I pretended
tAat q eoarss. - Answ all about IT.
tAat ~ Old Naa had had this earby
pashed overheard because ~ was too
feee With his mouth. But tAis did not

When We were out two days I got
hoad Of our prise mar again. figured
that he would b. supsestitious and I
was right I aaid that Of coarse he
knew that ship could not draw near
Cape Helles and get away asain un-
lsss at least one maA was lost. or that.
II 1t did get away, there would be
many casualties aboard. I said It had
always been that way and claimed
that the Old Man had pushed this
sarby ovesboard bscauke someone had
to 10. said on our. other trips no
one had been sacrificed and that was
the reason We had suffered % much.
and that the Old Man had been called
down BY the French minister Of the
navy. told him the Old Man would
pick On whatever Earby he thought
he could best spare.
That was all I had to tell him. n.
tAee he thought the Old Man knew Of
Ais EARNING or else he did not think
himself Of much account. for ~ dis.
appeared that very watch and we did
not see him asain until We were On
he homeward voyage and q steward
happened to dig into provision hold.
There was our lying friend. with Q
hfo belt on. another under his head,
and the blight Of . rope around his
waist. fast asleep. Why he had ths
rope do not know. but no was scared
to death and thought We were going
to chuck him overheard at once. I
think he must have told the ofscefs
everything. because I noticed them
looking pretty hard at me--oe at least
I thought did; maybe Il was my

We had lot Of sand piled up asainst
the whcclhouss and after we divcd
pretty deep one time and bucked out
slowly, there was not . grain Of sand
left. II looked like the sea was Just
us. for We were almost Into

one SEA aboard to clean up the sand
