Sea Lure Now Strong
Family Traditions Slim
Young Mariners

The lure of service in the Merchant
Marine was never stronger than now,
and 1t is noticed by officials that many
of the candidates for places aboard
ship are members of forme9 sea-golng
families.
Among the many young Americans
now applying to the United States ship
ping boards recruiting service Tor
training as deck officers, there appear
ed the other day one named Ashton,
who was accepted and placed in ravi-
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 dam
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 desert island, but new
er regretted that he chose the life of
q 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 sermon, from
the text, IF 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 fishing
schooner, with a crew of four men and
q boy, and when harboring for Sunday
near Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, he was
seized by one Ned Low, a pirate, who
also took dozen other peaceful fishing
craft.
Putting his prisoners aboard his own
ship. to be sent 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 filled and
sank while being careened for clean
ing.
Resuming their cruise in the schoon-
err. they took several prizes in the
West Indies. They then proceeded to
f. the Gulf of Honduras, where they land
ed on an island, built kuts and pro-
ceeded to spend their time in carousal.
Ashton had been ever watchful for
a chance to escape, and here one pre-
scented itself. The cooper being sent

No Connection Between the
Weather and Moons Changes

People who rely on the moon as a
weather indicator (writes a corre-
spondent) must have very short memo
ries, for accurate comparisons prove
conclusively that there is no connec-
ton whatever between the weather
and the moons changes of phase.
Professor Schuster analysed a whole
century's weather records, and, as
result, was unable to trace any lunar
period in them. Several authorities
are agreed, however, that there is a
tendency for clouds to dispense as a
full moon comes to the meridian of
any place; but it is far cry from that
TO the definite belief that the weather

Bits of Wisdom.

Good habits of some men are
as expensive as the bad habits
of others.
A woman isn't necessarily
homely because she is unspeak-
ably beautiful.
When a man is really in love
he thinks there is but one wom-
an in the world.
Some people never know
when to stop and others never
know when to begin.
The man who marries an or

Don't Walk After Meal.

Danger of heart failure lies not in
getting hopping maV but in walking
after meals, according to DR.. James
B. Herrick of Chicago in an article on
angina pectoris' published in med
ical journal. The doctor asserts that
experiments have shown that fits of
anger are not responsible for angina
pectoris but it frequently is caused by
rapid walking uphill or against a
strong wind, especially after a meal.
