wraths of the seas until one day in
1917 she acknowledged her master in

by her crew in a water logged condi-
ton. She had drifted about for two
months with decks awash when sight
cd; shone of sails and deck fixtures,

Carrie w. Babson Captain Wood took
the derelict in tow and brought It to
Tampa. The crew had been rescued
by n tank steamship.
The Herald. then owned by Bos-
ton concern. was libeled for salvage
and was purchased by the Schooner
! Herald Company. an organization of
local shipping men. She again put to
sea in operation out OF this port.
/ The schooner returned from Cuba
recently in a leaky condition and
while tied up at the docks here in
rushing water overwhelmed the
pumps and the vessel sank in twenty
five. feet OF water. She was floated
and after being stripped to the hull,
was taken to the mouth of the bay and
beached.

Repairing Farm Tools
Now Will Prevent
Costly Delay.

Ordering repairs and fixing up the
farm machinery now Is insurance
against delay at harves, time. A
loss Of one day then may mean the
loss Of a crop. These are the sug-
gestions Of J. h. Kelly, head of the
farm engineering department Of the
College Of Agriculture who especially
recommends that farmers pay partie-
ulsr attention TO the mower and
binder.
New sections are frequently need
ed for the mower knife while the
binder may need a new bearing, n
reel-slat or a slat strap OF buckle
for the eanvasses. These are small
repairs which are best obtained as
soon as possible and placed on the
during rainy days. Care
to see that the tool box Of the binder
Is supplied with q number Of chain
links. binder bGts. eotter keys. riv-
cts. knit sections. and canvas staples
is also an insurance against costly
delay after the harvest begins.
