An Unconvincing Storm.

Some years ago, writes a contributor,
when I was crossing the ocean there
was a passenger on board from the
Middle West who had never seen salt
wa'er before in her life. The after
noon before We left Boston Harbor
a fierce northeaster sprang up, and
from the time We sailed, the sea was
very rough.
The tempest grew steadily worse, and
al the ships movable furnishings
were made fast as far as possible. The
stateroom terths had their high sides
put on so that their suffer ng occupants
should not be dashed out.
Neither the lady from the Middle
Vest nor ! was seasick, and the next
morning we both managed somehow TO
reach our chairs, which were ashed TO
The rail on the promenade deck. do
know how my friend got to her place.
but as for myself sat down on he
eek and inclined myself along between
the GREATNESS divings and rearings
and rolls of the ship, which seemed
ever on the point of capsizing. There
were almost no other passengers in
sight, and the few Of US who had ven
tured out were warned that we must moi
stir from our seats.
So there we sat and looked at the
worst storm have ever known. have
never seen the waves run so high as
they ran that day. They were appalling
precirices, and Our great ship imbed
straight up them till | was sure that
nothing could save her from ia ling
over backward; then when she-got to
top she literally plunged headforemos
over the edge, and her propellers, stick
ing straight up in the air, raced like
mad and threatened to rack the ship to
pieces.
The lady from the Middle West ook
ed on with deep interest. Presently
catching sight of the captain, she hail
cd him. The captain saw her signal
and tackled on his difficult course to
find out what she wanted Shouting at
the top of her voice, she said, Gap
tain! Do you think we're going to
have storm ?"
The captain stared at her, then ex-
claimed, Good Lord, madam! Good
Lord! What under the heavens do you
call this p"
With that he rocked off on his heav-
ing way, clutching at whatever was
fixed so as 10 keep himself from fall
ing.
When he was out Of sight the lady
turned toward me ami with a puzzled
air inquired, "Do you suppose he mean,
that were having a storm now ?"
