scurrying silently to and fro, and from
an open hatch came the whine of
tackle as piece was shifted on the
gundeck. Aloft, squads of topmen
We're unfurling shreds of canvas to
give the James steerage way at need.
On the poop my great-uncle was issu-
ing his final orders to Martini Saun-
ders and Coupeau.
"You, Saunders" he said, twill
stand by the anchor-cable with a
broad-ax and upon my giving the word
hew it asunder. Your position, Mar

on the fore and main yards, ready to

that be my declaration to Flint! !"
The officers gave their acknowledge
ments and fitted away. Simultaneous
ly Peter pointed up the inlet.
"See!" he exclaimed.
The Walrus' riding-light winked out.
An interval of minutes, and one Of
the waist-lights followed It. Another
interval, and she disappeared COM

We heard the Walrus before we had
sight of her-the Stating of head

of cordage Then an impression of a
mighty shadow, a towering spiderweb
of spars and lacy rigging, stealing
ghostlike from the enshrouding dark.
She foated nearer. Nearer still

The darkness returned, and a null

such screams as / never hope to hear

Flint's below answered from the
Walrus.
"Giye it to 'em, We cowardly swabs |!

The red tongues of the Walrus' guns
licked out at us; the staggering roar
of their discharging smote the night
The fabric of the Royal James quiv-

into her. A moaning and screeching
rose from waist, fo'csle and gundeck:

Coupeau had reloaded his guns, and
the James fired a second broadside
with the same crushing unanimity as
before. The Walrus receded as If our
fire had had the effect Of physically
repelling her from us. Clouds of
smoke came between the ships, and
/ perceived that we were benefiting
from the severing Of the anchor-cable.
The ebb tide was already sweeping
us down the anchorage toward the
open sea.
The Walrus shot off another ragged
broadside, which for the most part

Complete civilization will be here

Harness for Dogs

The ordinary style of harness used
for dogs drawing sleds is made of
rawhide straps. 1t consists OF a col
lar with strap extending down from
the back of the neck to the middle Of
the back, where 1t meets a strap which
passes from the lower part of the col
lar between the forelegs and up on
each side over the ribs, to be attached
to the back strap; at this point Is
made fast the leading line, which is
from three to five feet long, and is
attached either directly to the front
Of the sled or to single straight
leading line fastened to the sled and
extending forward to distance suf-
ficient for the attachment Of all the
dogs belonging to the team. When
the team consists of more than three
dogs, they are attached to the main
leading line In pairs, with the most
intelligent dog In front as leader.

A trained eye is one of the most
valuable assets that the poultry man
can develop. Through 1t he may fore
stall serious epidemics; through it he
may turn loss into profit. The trained
eye will tell him when the chicks are
not making proper growth which ex-
perience or reliable advice will teach
him to correct. Again, the trained
eye will detect the slightest variation
in the reaction of the fowls to a
change In their surroundings. 1t will
be a constant guide.

Ireland's Big Cavern

One Of the largest and most extraor-
binary Of acaverns is that at Mitchels-
town, Ireland. The first man to make
an extensive exploration of this cele-
brated natural feature was a French
man, one Martel, who is likewise an
authority on the caverns of France.
The Irish cavern is formed in lime
stone and is extraordinary for the
number and extent of it's connected
passages, which, when plotted upon
chart, resemble the streets of city.
The length of the cave is about a mile
and quarter, and it contains some
animal Inhabitants, including species
of spider, which are peculiar to it,
and have their entire existence within
its recesses.

Whales Not Real Fish

Whales have to come TO the surface
OF the ocean to breathe. They are not
really fish, and cannot breathe as the
ordinary fish does. Their ability to
stay long under water is due to their
vast lung capacity.
