food, gave the bearing of Savaii
to the second mate on the raft.
TN make for Savaii," he told
them. land send back a gunboat
to pick you all up"
THOSE left on the raft, includ-
ing two boys, watched the
boat dip over a comber, lurch up
the flank of the next and inside
an hour disappear. Before noon
they were all soaked with salt
water and cold under the keen
wind that still whipped the crests
off the waves.
That wind kept for four days
and during that time the raft was
like half tide rock. All their
spare clothes and bits of blan-
kets were washed overheard, and
they were already beginning to
suffer from salt water boils.
Their skin was white as a frogs
and wrinkled with the sea; they
dared not take much water for
the danger of salt spray getting
in the keg. Then they sighted

and the Spring tides weren't due
for months. Hayes pointed out
casual-like that she'd most likely
gnaw herself to bits in the first
blow. The captain didn't like that
idea and started waving his arms
and screaming, like scared folks
do sometimes. Hayes offered to
tow him off, but the Portugee
didn't like the idea of paying a
pile of salvage to the Bully. So
Hayes took his ship off and on,
just within signalling range of
the man-oi-war, and waited.
There was a strong breeze one
night and next morning the
> Portugee offered Hayes a good
sum to tow him out of that rats
nest of coral. Hayes transshipped
guns, powder, ammunition, provi-
sions, everything he could get off
the man-o'-war, to his own ship.
Then he went below and found a
fair hole in the Portugee hull
He worked those matelots for
hours until that hole was plugged
and he had the ship pumped out.
Then, waiting for high tide he
towed the vessel out of the reefs
and went aboard to collect his
salvage from the captain.
But that Portugee felt a bit
better with his ship floating
under him. He remembered that
he might have got off without
Hayes help and told him there
wasn't no salvage due and if he
really wanted to collect-well, he
could try and get it.
That captain might have hest
tated a bit if he'd known the man
he was dealing with. But Hayes
smiled that blue-eyed smile and
suggested that they go below
and have a bottle of wine to talk
the matter over friendly-like.
They started a monumental toot
that lasted nearly all night, at
least until the captain passed
out. leaving Hayes, who had a
head like a teak baulk. to get
himself rowed back to his ship.
When the Portugee awoke and
took his hangover on deck, he
had a worse headache than the
wine gave him when he found
that Hayes ship had disappeared

land. well down on the horizon.
"Savaii." yelled the second
mate. Break out a plank and
paddle"
But the trades was too strong
for them and they drifted farther
and farther away from the strip
of land that meant safety for all.
Then the sea rose and once the
whole raft tilted until half the
people were overheard.
Somehow they climbed aboard
again and all that night they slid
up and down mighty sparkling
seas under a moon that showed all
too often the black fins of sharks,

weak as cats from lack of water
and food. Then one Of the hands
got an idea. He tied a hambone
on a blight of line and threw 1t to
a shark. The beast came after
it but the man pulled it away
until that saw-toothed devil came
right up to the raft. Quick as a
flash another sailor threw a bow
line around his ugly head and all
of them hauled him aboard.
1t took all their strength to
kill him and then 1t was awful.

she was stripped and weeping
softly like a little kid.
Come here, you little scut."
Hayes spat and dragged her,
naked as she was, into a boat.
You're going ashore and heaven
help you"
Till and Sievwright watched
him pull away, then they got a
boat oversize and pulled like mad
for the pilot station. Mr.. Hebley
was pilot then and by the time
they reached him the girl was
weeping on his doorstep and
Hayes GUESSING a blue streak.
She's a dirty little tramp who
slowed away on my boat" he
VOW. Don't take her in Look
at her. Snatched her clothes off
to tempt me-"
He wanted the pilot to chase
her away so he could try to get
her back in the Wave on his own
terms. But Till and the other
came up. b
He's a liar" they said He
kept us off with a gun. He's
been tormenting that gal for
weeks. You keep her here"
Hayes rushed back to his boat
and the two men and girl started
for Picton to swear out a war
rant against him. He reached
there a few days later and was
arrested. But for some strange
reason there was no verdict
brought against him. But they
held the cutter and Hayes
escaped again.
ND you ever hear of Hayes
~ and the Portugee man-o'-
war? Well. l guess Hayes was
the only man in the world who'd
bluff a battleship to its own
figure-head.
Somewhere north of the BONN
Islands the sea is a mess Of saw
toothed reefs and one fine morn
ing he sighted battleship sitting
like a hen right on a fat reef. He
clawed closer and spotted her
Portugee flag. Putting his gig
over he went for a look-see.

Well, they pumped and pumped

clean as the ocean outside. There
was a heavy sea running, a high
wind. and they were eighty mile
from Savaii. the nearest land.
There was only one small boat
and that wouldn't hold more than
a dozen all told. Suddenly Hayes
sang out:
Vast pumping. All hands

For a while there was near a
panic. All the crowd left the
pump handles and clawed at
everything loose trying to build
it into something that would
weather that sea. Some ripped
planks out of the tween decks.

ing his ship at customs.
"Customs?" roared Hayes.
There amt no customs in this
one-horse hole"
Yes, there is" says Treadway,
and I'm it."
Hayes became smooth as silk
and blamed his mate for not
telling him the island required
formal entry. He took Treadway
aboard and filled him with liquor,
while he took the brig around
the island to Lahaina, where the
Jail was. Treadway came to just
as the Ellenita was clearing the
reef.
What the hell goes on?" he
hollered.

whaleboat was towing.

he said hastily. unless you'd
like passage to Australia"
Treadway was a big man. But
Hayes grinned like a tiger and
waited until he stepped into his
whaleboat and fell off. The
Honolulu Advertiser of Septem-
Der oath, 1859, carried this story:
Where Hayes will go next re-
mains a problem. 1t is thought
that he will touch at Kauai and
complete the equipment which
Mr.. Treadway interrupted at
Maui. 1t is hardly likely that he
will eventually dare to show his
face again in Australia or China.
Possibly he will go to some South
American port. touching perhaps
at Tahiti on his way. and there,
FORGETTING his command of the
Ellenita, will dispose of her cargo
and apply the proceeds, with the
cash already in hand, to the ac-
complis h m ent of further
schemes"
But the Advertiser was wrong;
the Ellenita never reached Aus
tralia or any other place.
Soon as they cleared Maui the
weather broke and ugly cross

OF course, even the best farmers efforts
can be offset by economic conditions over
which he has no control. For example, in
1921 American farmers experienced Sc
we're recession of prices and, before agricul-
ture recovered from this, the depression of
the 1905 set in
Naturally, in such periods of economic
stress, 1t is inevitable that some farmers
are unable to meet their mortgage obliga-
tons. In these cases, Metropolitan has
been very reluctant to exercise its legal
right to foreclose, and does so only when
forced to do so for the protection of its
policyholders.
When foreclosure cannot be avoided

were bought by farmers, 726 of whom were
tenant farmers who are now becoming
farm owners under the Companys special

As a result of its farm loan policies, Met
ropolitan has been credited by agricultural
authorities with having made substantial
contributions to better farming methods
and to the general welfare of Americas
farming population.
