Continuing the narration OF his
adventures as a sailor, Chfef Ken
Ion last week related how the crew
Of a vessel in the Arabian sea be-
came afflicted with a deranging
fever, incapacitating every one on
board except two apprentices and
himself; and how he, though only
a youth. navigated the ship almost
to her destination in the Bay OF
Bengal. He also described a pas
sage on an immigrant ship from
Ireland on which he made the ac-
Quaintance of family group in
which there were three daughters.
On this voyage he was destined to
meet his fate in the person of his
future mate through life. After
reaching America on his first voy-
age he shipped out from New
York on a "fore-and-a aft" schoon-
er for Central America and then
on a Baltic and Mediterranean
trader. When only twenty-one he
was made master Of 350-ton ves-

count. to quit the sea.
Proceeding inland as far as Chi
cago in search of work, which was
difficult TO find. he encountered a
very old friend from home, Paddy

Paddy put him up for the night in

seeching the captain to leave his ship

he was wonderful swimmer, and
was soon alongside the raft.
We, however, remained where we
were for perhaps ten minutes. when
1t became a question Of death by fire
or taking our chances in the water.
The water seemed inviting in COM
parison with the flames. and we did
not hesitate to plunge overheard af-

Ing few words of prayer
Never shall I forget my sensations

Erie that October morning! Actually
blistering from the heat. I thought /
had been suddenly transported to
Paradise. Between the pleasures of
dying by drowning and the horrors
a gulf almost as wide as that which
divides the celestial realms from the
regions Of the damned. and the sense
of security and relief from pain was
almost indescribable.
But now a new difficulty confronted
me.
I had learned to swim in salt water
and ! found the fresh water exceed
ingly light and hard in which to keep
afioat. By easy strokes I contrived
to get near the raft, but alas! there
was no room for me upon 1t and any
such attempt on my part would have

courage OF his unfortunate comrades
All the time that I had been SWIM
ming by the raft this cheerful
creature had watched me. and as
was about to sink I felt his hand
take hold Of my shirt and heard his
voice In words Of comfort. He drew
me toward him and with the help Of
the chief engineer got me securely
seated on the raft.
Then he slipped overheard, where
he lay on his back and foated like a
chip.
For seven hours he stayed in the
water, helping the captain and mate
alternately to rest on the raft when
they became exhausted.
The chief engineer and another
took turns in swimming. but neither
stayed in the water as long as this
sturdy colored man. Never once did
he complain. He was the same cheer
full soul at the end Of his long trial
as he had been when he left Chicago.
We were rescued eventually by a
tug which had put out from Buffalo,
having seen the flames sixty miles
away.
