chance of our seeing her shortly as the
sea is temporarily visible. The second
wireless operator obtains his direction
on our directional wireless so that we
may know in what direction to look for
her All we know at the moment is
that she is somewhere within 120 miles
"Captain David, in command, wishes
US safe voyage We gaze through our
glasses in her direction, but she is just
over the horizon.
"2 p. m. Slight trouble with star
board admidships engine-cracked cyl
inder's water jacket. Shotter, always
equal to the occasion, made a quick and
safe repair with a piece of copper
sheeting and the entire supply of the
ships chewing gum had to be chewed
by himself and two engineers before
being applied.

I'VE are now on the Canadian sum-
mer route of steamers bound for the
st. Lawrence via Belle Isle Strait and
over the we'll known Labrador Curren,.
There are already Indications of these
cold currents in the fog which hangs
Immediately above the surface Of the
water.
Harris Hurt; Not Seriously
"Scott and Cooke spend much time at
chart table with protractors, dividers,
stop watches and many navigational
textbooks, measuring angles of drift
and calculating course made good.
Aerial navigation is more compli-
Gated than navigation on the surface
of the sea, but there is no reason why
when we know more about the air and
its pecularities it should not be made
just as accurate.

"Harris unwisely shuts his hand in
door of wireless ca painful but not
serious. Flow of language not audible
TO me as the forward engine happened
to be running.
'6 TO 7 p. nj.
I'VE are gradually getting further
and further into the shallow depres-
sion which was reported yesterday
coming up from the South Atlantic.
For the last four hours the sea has
been rising and now the wind is south
southeast, forty-tivc miles an hour
Visibility only halfmile Very rough
sea and torrents of rain. In spite of
this the ship is remarkably steady.
Climbs Through Depression
"At p. m. Scott decides to climb
right through it and we evidently came
out over the top of it at 3400 feet.
80 p. m. We have now passed the
I
Harris foretold. The rain has ceased
and We are travelling quite smoothly
again.
ITO the west the clouds have lifted
and we see some extraordinarily inter
esting sky-black, angry clouds giving
place to clouds of d gray mouse color,
then a bright salmon pink clear sky
changing lower down the horizon to
darker clouds with rich golden lining
as the sun sinks below the surface.
The sea is not visible, and is covered
by a fluffy gray feather bed of clouds
slightly undulating and extending as
tar as the eye can reach. The moon is
just breaking through the black clouds
Immediately above it,
"On the east we see the black, omi-
nous depression from which we have
just emerged. while away more to the
south the cloud bed over which we
are passing seems to end suddenly ard
merge into the horizon.
Valuable Meteorological Data
We are getting some valuable me-
teorological data on this fight without
doubt, and each fresh phenomenon
as it appears is instantly explained by
the ever alert Harris, who has pro-
found knowledge of his subject.
'9 p. m.
"One of the engineers has reported
sick complains of feverishncss.
"A stowaway has just been dscov-
ered a cat smugged on board by one
of the crew for luck 1t is very re-
markable fact that nearly every mem
ber of the crew has n mascot OF some
description, from the engineer officer
who wears one of his wife's silk stock
lngs as u mutfler around his neck. to
