When he had received that message, Cap

year-long voyage tramping to and fro in the
China Sea, down to Australia to load horses
for India, thence to Singapore and Durham
for homeward freight of rubber and tin,
ostrich-feathers and what-not.

He was no liner-captain to be made press

and doing it skilfully and successfully. Al

eagerly to them.

gale as the derelict wallowed bows to wind. A
figure in oilskins descended it cautiously, bore
it down with his weight, while another fol-
lowed and depressed it nearer to the vertical.
Quickly now! The sea was washing sheer over
the derelict's foredeck, was breaking over the
engine-room casing.
The last of the crowd - that would be the
Swedish captain hugging bundle, the ships
papers - clambered down the ladder to the
second boat. Both boats, deeply laden, cast
off. Suddenly, where the Gothholns had been
was only swirl of waves that ran together.
Half an hour later. his first officer reported
to Captain Brice on the bridge. "An aboard,
sir! Forty-five of 'em - Captain Jensen sends
you his compliments and thanks, sir. He'd be
glad to see you when you have time. He has
his wife with him. I've lent her some pajamas
and given him some dry clothes. They're hav-
ing soup and coffee in the saloon. The other
officers are being taken care of in the engi-

Captain Brice put the ship back on her
course, pounding into head seas that hurled
themselves slashingly along her deck. Then
he went down from the bridge to his new
passengers.

ship reared and plunged dizzily, he lurched

Abandonment of the joint COM
mittee system which has been in
vogue in the state legislature since
times immemorial was threatened by
Representative John D. Thoms Of
this city last night after he had
been reelected minority leader Of
the democratic side Of the house
of representatives for the 1887 ses-
sion at a caucus Of the democrats
who will sit in the lower branch Of
the general assembly beginning jan
uary 9Th. Declaring that the demo-
Gratis will demand a majority on
the house committees, despite the
q. o. p. predominonce in the lower
branch, Representative Thoms as
serted that failure to heed the 100,-
600 or more majority given the
democratic party in November's elec-
ton will be the basis on which elm
nation of the joint committee pro-
gram will be. urged.
Reciprocity
State Chairman j. Francis Smith
Of this city, address ing the demo-
cratic members Of the 1887 house,
declared that the appointments Of
republicans to senate committees
will hinge on the attention given
to the democratic demands in the
house. The democrats control the
senate.
Representative Thoms was u
unanimously reelected minority lead
er by the democrats Of the 1887
house at last nights caucus at the
Hotel Bond. Representative Ben
jamin Tonkonow, who had been
quietly but diligently campaigning
for the post, withdrew before the
voting at last nights caucus. Repre-
sentative Thoms went into the gath
ering with an overwhelming ma
jority over Tonkonow.
Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, State
Chairman Smith and National Com
mitteman David E. Fitzgerald adj
dressed the 1887 democratic house
members. William M. Greene Of
East Hartford was nominated for
clerk Of the house and endorsed at
the caucus. The republican major
ity will also name the clerk and
assistant clerk so this action was
also merely Formally.
No Overtures
State Chairman Smith emphatic
ally denied reports that overtures
had been made to the republicans
concerning committee assignments.
Representative Thoms declared that
a resolution will be offered on the
opening day Of the legislature call
ing for democratic majorities on all
house committees at the same time
that the resolution calling for adop-
ton Of the 1885 Joint rules is pre-
scented. If the g. o. p. machine
rides over the democrats in the
house the democrats in the senate
will block the adoption Of the joint
rules entirely with their majority
in the t1uper branch.
