CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE
Jobbers and Manufacturers Report June
Business Very Satisfactory.
fEW CHANGES IN RULING QUOTATIONS
Eitenalve Prenn rat lona Have Been
Made by V holeaalrra for Fall Bill
neas and Karl) lluyrra Expected
to Arrive After the Fonrth.
June trade with Ornaiia Jobbers nnd
manuf nrtiiicrn Is reported In rte.irly nil
cases as tietng coT.-'d'-rahly heavier than
a year ago in fact, .ill previous record
In many lines wiie broken, both for Ini
niedlate and future Ihimiii.'kk. and as that
was dune In spite of the rather backward
season, the fc.ilng Is that there Is little
cause for coin. hunt. Future prospects are
also rnnslili tvd mom encouraging, as crop
conditions are much better than n year
Hgo, and with an thing like ecasoiuili'f
Weather from now on a turnipcr crop of
mall grains and corn Is expected.
Wholewi'ers all have mnr.- orders on their
books for fall good than evor before at
this season if the year and linve rnm
menced t" ship some jroods to the far wcs.
After July 4 It is enioctod that full buy
era will ! gin to n i rive on the market,
which will give renewed life to houre
trade T.iking the sltit.ttlon iik a whine.
Jobbers s.iy that this lias been a most
successful year, up to date, and so far i:s
can be act n at the present time, the re
mainder of the year should be fully as
good.
Reports from the country Indicate thnt
retailers are also doing a good business.
As a general tl.lrn merch Hits expect the
demand to fall off about this time of year,
but the majority of them are looking for
H brisk trade throughout July, owing to
the fact t ho t the weather has tieen so coo
up to this time that many people have put
off buying goods which they will have to
have when the weather becomes more nor
mal. The talk is that the majority -if
dealers will be able to clean up their sun
mer stocks In good shape without making
material reductions In nrir es.
The market on lending staples has been
rather featureless for the list several davs,
very few Important chnnges having taken
place. On most HncH. though, values are
being well maintained, with nothing to
Indicate nny weakness of Importance, ex
cept In certain lines of dry goods and
hardware.
Collections are reported ns being quite
satisfactory for the time of year.
Sugar Still Advancing.
Wholesale grocers report husln"ss in their
line ns being exceptionally heavy on nil
staple and acnsonahle goods. The market
Is In a good, healthy rendition, with pvices
llrtn. That Is particularly true of sugar,
which Is still advancing. Prices Jumped
up live points early last week, and as
refiners ure oversold from ten days to two
weeks, with the demand exceptionally
heavy from nil sections of the country,
the 'belief Is that still higher prices will
be experienced. Local Jobbers say that, al
though a large amount of sugnr has been
coming to this point, there has not been
enough to tnke care of the unusual de
mand. It Is understood, however, that
ample stocks are In transit and Jobbers
expect to be nble to fill all orders In the
next few days.
Tho coffee market eased off a trifle early
In the week, but recovered and the week
closed with prices about the same as they
were at the close of the previous week.
The cheese market Is quoted liff'ic
higher than a wck ago. It Is claimed
that all offerings are being freely taken
by speculators for cold storage purposes.
The canned goods trade In this section
has been very brisk for the last few davs.
owing to the unusually low freight rates
which have heen In force on that class
of goods. These reduced freight rates
were withdrawn bv some roads July 1 and
by others the date was fixed nt July 3, and
as the difference between the regular and
speclnl rates has been a big Item, It
amounts to a fair profit on the goods
moved under those rates. It Is the opinion
of Jobbers that the regular rates will be
effective from this time on nnd that In nil
probability will be maintained for the bal
ance of the season. The demand from
retailers for tomatoes has been exception
ally heavy, and to nil appearances the
goods have- heen going Into consumption
at a rapid rate.
There has been no change In the price of
canned corn, either spot or futures. Cali
fornia canned goods are In fair request,
but trading does not seem to be quite as
heavy aa It was a year ago.
In the line of dried fruits tho market has
been very stiff on peaches and apricots for
early delivery. That is largely owing to
the attempt being made by short s-ilers to
cover. Conservative operators believe that
after the short sales have been covered
that the trade will be lacking In life and
that prices will drop back to a reasonable
basis.
The rice market Is unchanged, but the
movement Is very much better than It hns
been for some time past.
Other staple lines of groceries are selling
!n Just about the same notches they were
a week ago.
Cotton Gooda Market I nsettletl.
Since the reductions In the price of cer
tain lines of cotton goods which were re
ported a week ago there has been verv lit
tle change In ruling prices. The market,
however. Is In a rather unsettled condition
and there seems to be no disposition on the
Fart of conservative operators to anticipate
he future by purchasing staples. The situ
ation at the present time la where both
buyers and sellers are waiting for develop
ments and the future course of the market
depends very largely on the outcome of the
cotton crop.
Ixical dry goods Jobbers report trade for
last week as being a little quiet, ns would
naturally be expected Just before July 4.
Their stocks of summer goods though,
have been cleaned up In good shape, and
as the market for spot goods was In a
strong position they were able to dlsnose
of what they had without making material
reductions In prices.
Traveling men report that retailers are
row doing a good business and are selling
roods which should have moved some time
ago. Trade seems to be two or three we"ks
behind the same as the season and for thnt
reason retailers expect to do a good busi
ness for the next two or three weeks ard
clean ira their stocks In good shape. The
favorable outlook for crops makes them
very hopeful for the future and from the
way they talk more of fhem will be en the
Omaha market this fall than ever before
nd that their orders will b of liberal pro
portions. Many of the larger hnvers have
fnressed their Intention of coming shortly
fter July 4.
Jobbers hsve made extensive prepara
tions In all donartments for fall bus'ness
and their stocks are now quite eomnlete
and ready for Inspection at the hands of
retailers. The process of filling ndvanee
orders naa commenced ana order fillers and
packers are very busv.
Hardware More Active.
Hardware Jobbers did rushing business
last week In all seasonable lines. In fact
many of them said they experienced the
best trade for some little time past and ex-
Fressed the belief that with normal weather
or the remainder of the season that busi
ness will be far ahead of last year. There
la no special feature to the trade, as the
demand la simply general for all seasona
ble and staple lines.
There hns been no Important changes in
the market since last report, at whit h t'mo
the reduction In the price of nulla w're.
galvanized and black Iron was minted. The
market seems to be In a good, healthy con
dition ami no sensational fluctiiatlcns are
being predicted by those best posted on
existing conditions.
Leather Goods Selling Well.
Boot and shoe men report business as
being fairly satltfaciory. Quite a few ail
ing up orders are coming In, which shows
that stocks in the country are getting low.
Merchants who have been In the city re
cently havo very few complaints to make,
as they have sold more stock than they did
up to this time last year. The sam as In
the case of dry goods, a brisk demand Is
expected during Julv and even August.
When the semen Is late and crop prospects
favorable merchants say they always have
a better midsummer trade than when the
season Is early That Is why they are
counting on selling more stock than usual
during the next two months.
Rubber gooda are very quiet, as would
naturally be expected, but prospeela are
considered favorable for fall and winter.
Fruits and Vegetables.
There was a big demand lam week for
trull of all descriptions, Blackberries,
raspberries. California fruits and water
melons look the lead. In tropical fruits
emons had a big run owing to the usual
Fourth of July demand. Green apples have
arrived on the market from the south and
ire selling at 75 cents per one.lhlrd-bushe!
box. The prices ruling on the different
lines of fruit will be found In another
Column.
There was also a good demand for vege
tables and prices are getting lower each
week. New potatoes are now selling at tl
per bi-shel. Among; the new lines that ar
rived recently la Kahimaioo celery, worth
So cents per dozen bunches.
Fags, butter and poultrv are all selling
n much the fame note' ei they wt re a week
ago.
Drr ;iH Mnrket.
NEW YORK, July l.-DRY OOOPB-In
the dry goods trade, while the coming
veek may not be up to expectation on
ocount of the Interruption by holiday a
tier feeling was evidenced during the
Hk. The feeling In Jeveloplng very
etrongiv tnai inf market prarncsiiy
reached Its low water level and that tho
development will be In t lie line ot ex
tended curtailment should nny further re
vision take place. The offets which are
being made. However, show a tletfrmin i
tlon to b'ar prices stli further. It la
Claimed that those nhli h are received are
as a rule considerably below the basts of
the ptesi tit ra material market ami are
being tnoie general!) refused by sellers.

about 2.0u0 head and as compared with tho
same week of last year there is a lulling
off of about 7,000 head. Tho supply,
though, has been liberal enough to meet'
all the reuulreinents of the local trade.
The steer market was quite nrtlve and
stronger the fl.'st part of the week and
prices strengthened up to quite an extent.
The latter half of the week, however,
packers were very Indifferent and bearish,
so that all of the gain of the ear:y part
of the week was lost, and more, too. As
or tne week was lost, ana more 11 o a
compared with Monday the market Is all
of 25c lower on everything but the best
and as compared with the close of Inst
week nrlces have suffered yjt(i20e. The
greatest decline has been on the medium
to common cattle and the least on choice
heavy, well fattened catlle. Packers coui
piatn. that the beef .n;irKct in the t-itsi h is
been In rather bad shape and that Is the
cause or the present decline. Good 10
choice steers sell from $5.90 to $6.25. fair
to good irom .,.o0 75 and die Cutn-
moncr grades from $4.25 to $5.00.
The cow market has shown very litre
chunge all the week. Supplies have been
very light, the big nulk or tne orrerings
being made up of cornfed steers. The gen
eral market can safely be quoted steady
and some of the more desirable grades are
In fact a little strong. Good to choice com
forts sell from 10j to 4.l,:.- nnr in c oil.
$3.75 to $400.
Orassers sell largely from
12'60 to $3.25, with choice from 13.2a to $3.50. J
Canners go from 11.60 to $2.25.
Rulls, vea: calves i-nd rtagv are selling in !
practically the same notches they were a
week ago.
The stocker and feeder market Is about
steady with a week ago, as supplies have
been very light, as well as the demand.
Good to choice grades sell largely from
13 90 to 14.15, fair to good from 13.50 to 13.75
and common kinds from $3.60 down. Rep

HOOS There was not a very heavy run
of hogs here today, uud. as tne inc.,1 m -mand
was in good shape and reports from
other points favorable to the selling In
terests, the market ruled active and higher.
The advance on paper amounts to a big
nickel, and, taking quality and weights
ll.lo consult ration, it an ounts to 5 1 '.
All the packers seemed to have liberal
orders to fill and as a result everything In
the yards was sold by 10 o'clock In the
morning. Very little change took place in
the market from start to finish. The bulk
of the good weight hogs sold at $5.17V and
$5.20, with the choicer loads from 15.22H to
$5.25. Tho lighter and commoner loads told
from $6.15 down.
For tho week receipts have been libera!,
there being a good Increase both over lust
week and the same week or. last year. Tha
tendency of prices was downward the first
three days of the week, but the last three
days all of the loss was regained, and more,
too. As compared with the close of lasl
week there Is a net gain of VtOfiic, which
carries prices to the highest point reached
since March 15, when the average wag $6.26.

MILLER LEAVES FOR ST. LOUIS
Attorney Carries Reply to the Habeas
Corpus Proceedings Began In
the Federal Court.
DENVER, Colo.. July . Attorney Gen
eral N. C. Miller left Denver for 8t. Louis
today with the reply to the habeas corpus
proceedings begun in the federal court
there on behalf of Charles H. Meyer, pres
ident of the Western Federation of Miners.
This reply, which will be presented to the
court next Tuesday, sets forth that Moyer
has been delivered, to the civil authorities
and that the respondents to the writ, Gov
ernor Peabody, General Sherman M. Bell
and Captain Bulkley Wells, did not have
him In custody when served with papers
In this care.
LABOR AND INDUSTRY.
Wages for common laborers In Ireland
are almost double what they were twelve
years ago.
Locomotive engineers in Oermany re
ceive a gold medal and $500 for every ten
years' of service without accident,
Of each 1,000 Immigrants who reach
America It Is said there are only seven
girls who desire employment as house ser
vants. The remark Is frequently made that
Franco has gone ersry over the automo
bile fad. But a she exported 110.oo0.OJ0
worth of the vehicles In 1903 there seems
to be some method In the madness.
The International Brotherhood of Team
sters now has over Io0,o00 members and
900 local unions. The annual convention
meets in Cincinnati In August.
More than 8,000,000 of the 13.600,000 people
of Mexico do not work, and of those who
do work 1,448,024 are In domestic service
and 116,000 are salary earners.
Labor men at Sault Ste. Marie, Canada,
at a meeting decided to petition the gov
ernment to retaliate against the Ameri
cans, who are strictly enforcing the alien
labor law.
Co-operation has proved a great success
in England. The co-operative societies did
a bUHlness In 1903 that aggregated $44n081,
115, and the net profits were $49,300,000, or
l'i per cent of the share capital involved.
Plans are being made to start up a co
operative shoe factory at North Brook
field, Muss., where many shoemakers were
thrown out of employment because of the
closing up of the big Ilschelder shop.
Nearly $10,000 has been subscribed to the
factory fund.
I'nliiue among the various International
unions In the country is the Journeymen
Itnihim' lnternai'onal union, with head
nunrters In Boston. The special Intereat In
this International Ilea In the fuct thut since
ISM there have been only two strikes of the
local unions thut compose It. ,
In Ran Francisco a novel co-oneratlve
shoe business is being conducted bv twen-
' . young and practical Bhosmakers
and shoe clerks. Euch man has raid In
$2,500, and the amount has been used to
purchase the factory and store of one of
the big ahoe men of San Francisco. The
men are running the business now on a co
operative basis.
Recent statistics Indicate that, purely aa
an agricultural state. Missouri now out
ranks all others In America. Illinois, Kan
sas and Iowa are rloae rivals, and there
can be no doubt that thla section of the
country leads the tntire world In agricul
tural products, a larger Income being de
rived per acre than Tu any other jrt of
America or foreign- country.
WHAT TO DO WHEN IX DANCER
Simple Eulei Which Lessen the Perils of
Accidents on Water.
KEEP COOL AND EXERCISE COMMON SENSE
Think Ilefore You Jump and ftecore
a Floater If Yon Moat Islm
eaonable Leaaona of
Experience.
(Copyright, 1904, by Guy T. Vlsknlskkl )
The titan who does nothing in 11 hurry
when his life Is endangered by water stands
the finest chance In the wo.id ..f escaping
with nothing worse than a good bucking.
Observe how deliberately an expert swim
mer acts In the water. He never rushes
matters. lie knows that the human body
naturally tends to float, Is buoyant, and
thnt it Is really a difficult matter to sink It.
Hence, he never makes a motion that Is
not absolutely necessary to sld this nutnral
tendency or to send him through the water.
In order to nurse his muscular strength
he gives this buoyancy full sway after
each stroke, which Is always separate and
distinct from nil others. No new stroke Is
taken until the momentum generated by
the one preceding has expended itself. In
thl meantime he takes things easily nnd
rests against the time of the next stroke.
He knows that such a courso Is perfectly-
safe.
He knows, further, that It Is the only
safe course. Iet him depart from the rule
of making haste slowly nnd confusion In
stantly sets in. Ills strokes follow one
another so closely that there Is no chance
for him to rest between them. What Is
more serious, they counteract one another,
the momentum generated by one Btroko
being destroyed '4n the etort necessary to
make a fresh stroke. What Is still more
serious, this unnecessary tiring of the
muscles and the counteructlon operate to
destroy the buoyancy of the body. Work
Is so rapid that the lungs are not properly
supplied with air air filled lungs are neces
sary for buoyancy. Tired muscles drag
down even on land weight a buoy nnd It
sinks. One part of the body works against
another all parts will be affected, and
each will fall to perform Its duty as tt
should and become glaringly tirellct. Let
the swimmer persist In making haste nnd
he brings around him and In him a con
fusion that will be fatal sooner or later.
Action that Lends to Death.
How highly necessary it Is, then, for the
poor or the non-swininier who Is in peril
not to hurry. The first Impulse of the
non-swimmer, when lie finds himself sud
denly Immersed, is to get out of the water
as soon as ever he can. Straightway he
heiHnu floundering about, striking out
wildly with his hands, kicking Just us
blindly with his legs and he sinks. Once
under, he becomes comparatively or wholly
quiet, and the body's buoyancy brings lilin
to the surface. Perhaps he renews hU
struggles; he surely grasps for air.
But he had hln mouth open before he weni
down; he probubly failed to hold his breath
all Iho time he was down, and now there Is
little room left for air. His lungs are no
longer playing their part In keeping him
a(loat; they are like a rubber llfo pre
server with the air let out. His lungs, as
well as his floundering arms and legs, are
now ugalnst lilm. Down he goes again,
more quickly than before, and by this time
bis only hope of snlvution lies In some ex
terior help. If that Is not at hand he
drowns through his own efforts he takes
his life Just as surely as does the man
who, standing before a mirror, presses a
revolver to his temple and puts a bullet
through his brain.
I have described the way to Insure
drowning. Here is a certain way to insure
rescue in ordinary water accidents.
As you are falling into the water, and as
long ns your head Is above the surface,
draw In air through the nostrils. Do not.
.
under any circumstances, open your mouth
to hrenthn through It while you are In the
water. If you do you will ship water and
thus legpen the air space, which la so Im
portant In the emergency.
If you go completely under, hold your
breath until you rise. You will be under
only a few seconds, although it may seem
an eternity; hut no matter liow long you
are under, hold your breath. Your salva
tion depends on It hold your breath. Even
though your temples and cur drums seem
about to burst, hold your breath.
How to Hold Your Body.
When your head shoots out of water
perhaps your body down to the waist will
come out do not, I Implore you, release all
your breath. Exhale as slightly as pos
sible. You will get sufficient relief, .inJ at
the same time not empty your lungs, which
you must not do so long us you are In
danger. Follow exhalation by taking In
all the air you can. By thia time you will
be settled In the water, so to speak, with
your nostrils above the surface, and you
can proceed to help your alr-fllled lungs
and the buoyancy of your body to keep you
afloat.
Do not hold your body straight up and
down. Get on your right aide, In what is
known as "three-quarter surface." Your
feet will then be about throo-fourths of
your height below the water's surface.
Then steadily, and without any hurry
whatever, reach out straight and as far as
possible from the side with your right hand
and bring It dowp almost to the hips. At
the same time work the left hand on the
surface of the water, gently reaching out
from and pulling In toward tha body.
While you are thus employing your
hands, tread water with your feet. Tread
ing water Is as easy aa rolling off a log. It
corresponds to the "mark time" of the
soldier; It Is, In fact, the swimmer's way
of marking time. Bend your right leg a
little more than slightly at the knee, draw
UP the lower half about six lnchs, nnd
then thrust the leg down gently until It la
straight. Repeat with the left leg and al
ternate," making at the most clxty move
ments to a minute. Be sure that you tread
gently. This Is highly Important, for If
you thrust down hard you will kick a hole
In the water and send yottrsolf Into It and
under.
Help Penally Quirk In Com In a;.
Follow these Instructions and, even
though you are totally ignorant of the art
of swimming, you will be able to keep
yourself afloat without taxing yrur
strength to any great extent for ot least
ten minutes ample time for you to be
rescued under ordinary circumstances, and
more than enough time for something to be
thrown to you to float on until jou cm be
pulled out of the water.
If you are In a rowboat and It overturns.
when you come to the surface and have
yourself comfortably settled In the water,
look about for the upturned boat or an oar,
and If the closer of the two Is not far away,
you can undoubtedly cover the distance by
using your hands, as already described, and
by kicking out gently with your legs, after
alternately drawing them up about twice
as much as for treading.
If you ranch an onr, grasp it with your
hands, placed about three feet apart. Then,
Just as If you were working pulleys In your
room, alternately shove the oar In front of
you at arm's length and pull It bark to
your chin. If your lung power l.i good and
you observe the rule to breathe deeply and
exhale scantily, you can easily keep afloat
twenty minutes. Help out you hands by
using your legs the beat you know how;
and religiously keep out of a standing po
sition. Hy all means give the lungs oppor
tunity to "tke hold" in the water; In other
words, to perform their work freely.
A capsixed rowboat Is ordinarily a
splendid buoy. If y,,u reach it. all you have
to do to keep atloat Indefinitely Is to tout h
It with your hands. It Is not neetnaary for
you to try to scramble upon It. In the ef
fort you may send It sway from you, or
release the air caught In It when It cap
sixed. nnd thus cause It to sink The safer
plan Is simply to rest your hands on It.
What In Do on n Mnklntt t earner.
But If you were In n sloop or any sort
of craft with rigging, keep away from the
boat. If the sloop capsiies, your first move
should be to get dear of the tigging and
after th'it to stay clear of It. I hve
known many a good swimmer to drown
simply because he got foul nf a boat's
gear Trust to you efforts ulone; you will
be In far less peril.
If you are on an Imperilled excursion
steamer make it your llrst duty to keep
away from everybody. If a crowd collects
where yoti are standing go to another part
of ih., i i- ,,. , . .
of the essel. loll will keep cool better
by yourself, and you will be In no danger
of being caught in the rush that will un-
doubtedly occur sooner or later
Also do not make any strenuous efforts
to get Into a lifeboat, if passengers are
lighting for its possession it will surely be
overloaded and sink before It has gone far.
If no fight takes place, don't precipitate
one by appealing too nnvlous to gain the
boat. Keep your wits about you, others
will do the same and the rescue of every
body will be expedited.
But while you are sticking by the boat
you should not be Idle. Arm yourself with
a chair, a piece of planking, a length of
the ships rail, an nar-nnythlng1 that will
float which will float you. A bucket even
an Iron one la an excellent thing. As you
go Into the water hold the bucket upside
down and ptess it hord and evenly against
the water and well down under It. You
will Imprison more or less air, nnd the
bucket will be transformed Into a buoy
that will keep you afloat Indefinitely, even
If there Is only three or four Inches of air
inride.
Remove as Much Clothing aa Possible.
When you see that you will soon have to
take your chances In the water remove
your shoes, coat and waistcoat. Vour shoes,
filling with water will tend to drag you
down, and your coat will also be an added
weight, especially when It becomes thor
oughly soaked. For this same reason the
exigencies of the occasion would permit
a man to remove his trousers and a woman
her skirts. A woman, especially, should not
hesitate to take off her skirts. The air
that Is caught In them will cause them to
spread and keep her afloat for a minute
or so, but after that they will be a detri
ment that will speedily drag her down
unless help aoon come or she has something
to use as a float. In the latter event her
skirts wi;; ctlll be a constant and ever In
creasing menace. Surety, under such cir
cumstances, she cannot let herself be
guided by what is known as the proprietls.
and still be true to herself and those who
love her.
Of course, If you can get hold of a life
preserver you will be well equipped for
all emergencies, provided you put it on
properly. Otherwise it will sink instead of
float jou. To put on a life preserver, drop
the banda over the shoulders, put the two
loops up under your armpits, and If you
have time tie the various straps. But if
time presses tie only the straps in the
back and every purpose will be served.
No matter how you may be equipped
for the sinking of a vessel, If you are a
nnn-swimmer you can scarcely hope to
escape being drawn down by the force of
the suction. When you feel the decks giv
ing way beneath your feet, take In all the
air you can, grasp your float firmly and
hold your breath as you go under. Hold
your breath and hold onto your oar even
though you go down down down and It
seems as If you were never coming up
again. But you will come up Just us
surely as you went down, und when you
do, your body will shoot half way or
more nilt nf the nn lar A a I. .1 . ... i.

enough for a little relief.
After that your body will settle in the
water and you can proceed to breathe as
already described and work with the oar.
Tho ordlnury vessel will nol create a suc
tion strong enough to pull you under and
keep you down longer than the longest
time you can hold your breath when life
and death depends upon your doing your
ery best. .
A Word to Hescners.
A word to rescuers. If you ore swim
ming to some one's succor and you are at
close quarters, go underneath him. If he
is far gone and you are a good swimmer,
put your feet under his shoulder-blades
and tow him along. If you are an ordinary
swimmer, get close to your man and the
first thing of all give him a good, stiff
blow in the back of the neck. You will
stun him and thus keep him from doing
foolish things that might Imperil both of
you. Then put your left hand at the back
of his head In order to keep him afloat.
Do not swim with your burden If help of
any sort Is within sight. There Is no use
taxing your strength. Unite all your entr
Kle on keeping yourself and your man
afloat, and assistance will be carried to you
In ample time. I have known more than
one good swimmer to become exhausted
and drown by thus needlessly working him
self. If you go to the rescue In a boat, do not
pull your man over the stern or sldo, and
do not let him try to scramble over the
boat at either point. The bow Is the inly
afo place. Haul a man over the side and
the boat is likely to capsize. Haul him
over the stern and the same ihlng U likely
to happen. Besides, he la likely to receive
erlous Injury from being dragged over the
rudder and iron rudder pin. To null a
in-in up to the boat hand him an oar or
better still, catch his clothe, on a boa;
hook .nd, If when he reaches the boat he
f antlca Iy Per8lgti In try)ng tQ
knock him on the head and stun him
