CHAPTER XIV.
Until I was married I never had
the chance to enjoy home life. Every
sailor hopes to have home some day,
away from the sea, and fortunate in
deed is the sailor who can go TO a
home of his own if only for the short
time in port. Men in the merchant
marine are better off in this respect
than the men of the Navy, who move
constantly from port to port
After 10 or Is years at sea the de-
sire to roam is on the wane: at least
that is how 1 found it. Why l wanted

 At Sandy Hook the wind reached GO miles an hour and the New York harbor had an unusually high tide of 7.6 feet. The worst damage done

lifted the veil from the head OF my
beauty; and then Michelagnolo, who. as
I have said, was the most humorous
and amusing fellow in the world, laid
his two hands on his nearest COM
panion's shoulder" and made them bow
down, while he, on his knees upon the
floor. cried out for mercy, ana called
to all the others in words like these:
Behold We Of what sort are the angels
of paradisel For though they are called
angels. here shall We see that they are
not all Of the male gender"
angel of goodness, angel fair,
Save and bless me! Hear my prayer!
Upon this my charming creature
laughed, and lifted her Cor his) right
hand and gave Michelagnolo a bene-
diction, with many pleasant words TO
boot. So Michaelagnolo stood up, and
said il was the custom to kiss the cheeks
Of angels; and having done this to
Diego, the boy blushed' deeply. which
immensely heightened his beauty.
I should add here, in explanation Of
a jest that was to follow, that Michel

One admirable painter, then looking
around the table. and appraising the
women, turned to Michaelagnolo and
said:

suits those ladies today, though I VOW
they are somewhat less fair than crows
by the side Of one Of the most lovely
peacocks which fancy could have

sat down to the table. Then we all Of
us fell to enjoying the abundance Of
our hosts well-set table. The supper
was followed by short concert of de-
lightful music, voices joining in har-
mony with various instruments; and
my beauty sang his part also. He per-
formed the music better than almost
all the rest, which so astonished the
company that some Of the artists drop
ped their earlier tone of banter. and
began to express heartfelt admiration!
OF course, they must find out the
hoax sooner or later. When they did
guess the true sex Of my "crow." or
peacock" as one of them had christ
er1ed him, the whole room rang with
laughter and ordinations of aston
ishment, In the midst of which Michael
agnolo, assuming O fierce aspect, called
out for the brothers permission to
