 l will terminate long story by saying that in five days we had a trip of fish and returned to market at Juneau. Strangely enough, it was one of the best trips that Captain Calder had ever made, and although he offered many inducements for us to remain with him, we felt that we had had enough. To this day the rigging of vessel signifies to me tEe various suits and spots of cards.

He decided that the red and green watches would be substituted for the usual port and starboard terms which was easily remembered by the crew as corresponding to the colors OF roulette table.
 Then he adopted the expedient of fastening playing cards to the rig ging as we'll as to the various i'm plements on deck. The black cards in all cases indicated the standing rigging while the running rigging all carried red spotted cards.

A TALE OF THE SEA

-Olu OOnS.
 1t Is almost twenty years ago since l shipped in Juneau on the good hali- but schooner Alcedo, Captain Silas Calder for a halibut voyage to Fred erick Sound. I was not at that time a sailor nor halibut fisherman nor had 1 any knowledge of what was required of a hand on a halibut schooner. The principal reason for my venture into a business of which l knew nothing was necessity. 1 had learned from my friend Baseball Casey that three square meals were served every day on halibut fish ing vessel and that extra meals call ed mug-ups could be had at any time. To one who had depended for daily sustenance on the somewhat uncertain conditions that governed faro tables and roulette wheels the proposition of plenty Of food sounded very attractive even though glance at Captain Calder carried no assur- ance of a soft job.
 The Captain was desperately in need of a crew and Casey, Tray Ny CTS and several others were just as desperately in need of regular meals and so we shipped as able seamen all.
 When the north wind blew gently down Gastineau Channel one after noon in early fall Captain Calder 'caIled to the boys on the dock to cast off the lines and the crew pull ed them on board with such alacrity as fooled the Captain for the moment into believing that he had a crew of tarry salts but this idea was soon dissipated when he gave orders tc set sails. Base Ball Casey had made so much talk about sea faring that the crew all watched his move ments when orders were given and sc when the captain ordered the mainsail hoisted Casey grabbed the jib doWnhaul and the rest of the crew followed suit. Right at that moment the Captain realized that he was at sea with a crew of land lubbers who could not tell one side of the vessel from the other.
 I shall always hold that Captain ful men I have ever met. When he realized that he had shipped a crew of greenhorns, instead of trying to return to the dock and put them on shore, he immediately set about to learn what any of us knew
 The Captain was a man of massiv: build and when he commenced to ask questions we all huddled into a group determined on common de. fense.
 After innumerable questions the Captain learned that beyond the op- eration of games of chance his crew knew but little and so he wisely de-
