The captain at this moment came
running back with three of his sons
and several young ladies who were
visiting at the home. All took up
positions on the roof of the acquar-
ium near the dam, straining their
eyes in the direction of the bend in
the creek. While thus engaged the
entire party eXcitedly discussed the

distance flight. The old mariner
was visibly affected and very happy
at the evident success of his amphib-
lans. Though far advanced in years,
the captain was the first to catch a
glimpse of the flashing reflection of
the swarm of fliers as they rounded
the distant bend, and as the remand
er OF the party located the swiftly
moving and glittering band all burst
into loud cheering and wild gesti,
culation.
The fiers had now reached the
dam. Slowly they circled for
moment, then dropped quickly into
their home waters. Glad as they ap-
peared to be at reaching the end OF
their journey, their pleasure could
be nothing when compared with that
of the old captain, in whose eyes
tears were seen and whose furrowed
face was wrinkled deeper in smiles of
joy at the thought of the remarkable
achievement of his trained fiiers.
Captain Davis leaped from the top
Of the aquarium and ran down to
the dam, carrying with him a guam
tity Of the choicest bait and fish food.
He began to whistle his strange tune
and presently a dozen purple colored
fiiers were seen swimming toward
him to the edge of the water. The
captain fed them, stroked them, and
praised them as effusively as If he
were talking to human marathon run
ners.
And now" said he, now take a
long rest; you have well earned it,
for this is a famous victory"
"Yes. dad" said one OF the young
ladies, famous is the right word for

success than the eliminating achieve
ment of Capt. Jack Davis, who re-
sides with his family in a magnif-
cent home on the south side of Shell
creek about seven miles from this
city.
Before his final return to his native
land the Punta Gorda captain had
seen every country and visited every
nation, creed and color under the
sun. From a sixteen-year-old cabin
boy on a China tea clipper, Jack had
steadily risen to able seaman, boat
swain, third officer, second mate, first
mate, and, after meritorious exam
ination, had obtained a masters GER
tificate. Then, as captain, at the age
of twenty-eight, he took the Nellie
Bly," full-rigged clipper, on her
first trip from New York to Shanghai
around Cape Horn with a general
cargo of Yankee merchandise.
"Those were the good old days"
said the skipper as he grew remin-
