Promptly on hs stroke of 1J yesterday I
morning the good rtlp Aqua Prs.. better j
known n the wsgon. weighed an- j
rhnr and lirdvfly set forth nn Its annual j
cruise A throng of thousand rhww
hon voyage'1 to the honest crew as the
weather-beaten oM shin slowly got urnlur
and lumbered ponderously out of the
harbor.
IKp1'e the fact that from the first
launching of the water wagon, unnum
bered year ago. lis every voyage has
ended In disaster. It wm an optimlxtlc.
crew that stood staunchly on the decks
and called back Its thanks to tlic well j
wishers until the veteran ship was lost to ;
lh view of those on shore. j
The sailing was under more favorable
suspire than for several years. The day i
was 8unday and the Iron lumd of the law,
suspending- operations of the sirens that
might have lured the crew from Its fixed
course, worked to the favor ot the sailors.
Captain. Aylesworth. In charge of the
vessel because especially qualified by his
years of experlenco on the coast of Bur
gundy, remarked drily:
"ily the great salt mackerel, we are free
to gather speed until 7 o'clock Monday
mornln', and I figure that by that time
we may be gplng so fast that there'll be
110 turning us from our course.'"
Though they did not relish the captain's
use of the word salt Just at a time like
this, the crew Joined In a hearty cheer for
Aylesworth. He meant well.
' Crrtt ts Kncoeraared.
As the throbbing of the engines In
creased and the noble wheels of the old
water wagon revolved more and more rap
Jdly the entire crew gathered on the tnaln
quarterdeck and listened to encouraging
speeches by various members.
Al. Usher, the first mate, who each year
for the -lack two decades has been among
the last to desert the good ship, told the
story of the unfortunate ending of the
cruise of 1910.
"We are stronger and abler seamen now,"
he said, "and 1 don't believe we'll fail as
we did before. Many of our crew dropped
off at the Hometeamwtnsagame Islands. I
struggled to keep them true to .the ship,
but It wasn't no use. A good many were
lost on account of undue ezcltment over
Hatlcy'a comet. Its effect on them was
unexpected and so couldn't be guarded
agin. There was other reasons, too, on
course. . How w happened to lose a good
many I don't know, but we lost 'em I
hope for the best."
A committee on rules governing the crew
was appointed and reported against sing
ing of "Down Where the Wunburger
Flows," "Budwelaer't a Friend of Mine,"
"Down in the City ot Boose" and similar
tongs that might tend to distract the mem
oers of the crew and make them nervous.
The committee advised that several An
he user Busches found In the conservatory
be thrown overboard. All members of the
?rcw denied' any knowledge of how the
(lunches happened to get Into the conserva
oiy. Captain Aylesworth aald It looked to
Mm as If somebody was planning mutiny.
He said If he caught anybody with the
wet goods on htm he would make him walk
the plank.
Haaa-ed la Effigy
Haffa Nuther, a Persian member ot the
crew, made a motion that Omah Khayyam
be hanged tn effigy. The members of the
crew seconded the motion as one man arid
Omar promptly was strung up. One by
one the quatrains were thrown overboard,
a rock tied to each of them.
"Red" Craven, a sea-going hack driver,
wanted to know If this was one of Cook's
tours, lie saia ne supposed it was at the
time he booarded the wagon. He was told
that the tour was neither Cook's nor
Mumm's nor anybody else's that was In
that kind of business.
He waa permitted to drop off and started
to swim back to the shore.
One man suggested that the crew anchor
the ship and swim around it for a while,
returning In time so that no real harm
would be done.
Poet Gets Rur,
One of the 1,843 ship's poets prevented the
execution of this suggestion by reading a
poem which he wrote after he deserted the
ship and left It foundering In 1910. The en
tire crew agreed to stand pat and not leave
the ship even for a minute. At three bells
Monday morning the watch said all was
well.
The poem was as follows:
1 dreamed that I dwelt on an Isle of
cracked lue
In the midst of a sea of champagne,
v Whete bloomed the mint Juleps In mead
ows of green,
' Amid showers of peach brandy rain.
reclined on a divan of lager beer foam
With a pillow of froth 'neatb m head,
While the spray from a fountain ol spark
ling gin fiss
Descended like dew on my bed.
From far away mountains of crystalline Ice
A aephyr, refreshing and cool.
Came wafting the Incense of sweet Mus
catel, That sparkled In many a pool.
My senses were soothed by the soft pur
ring son
Of a brooklet of pousse cafe,
That rippled along over pebbles of snow
To a river of absinthe frappe.
Then, lulled by the iiiuhIo of tinkling glass
From the schooners that danced on the
deep,
I dreamily sipped a Scotch highball or
two
And languidly floated to sleep.
And then I awoke on a bed of crushed
rocks
With a bolster as hard as a brick.
A wrench In my back and a rack In mv
head,
And a stomach detestably sick.
With sand In my eyes and a gelt In my
throat,
Where the taste of last evening sUU
clung.
1 f. It a big bath towel stuffed In my
mouth
I afterward found 'twas my tongue.
Then I groped for the thread of the even
ing before
In the mystified mass of my brain
Vntll a bright light burst upon ine at
last
I waa off o' the wagon again.

As a result of forethought of Miss Ida
V. Jontx, superintendent of the Associated
Charities, poor families of Omaha suffered
comparatively llttla from the cold Sunday
and Monday. Only a few calls for help
were received and the wants of those who
did ask aid were speedily met.
"Wa were prepared for this," said Miss
JonU. "We always aim to prepare those
those who are likely to be In need before
the severe cold actually comes. At Christ
mas time the various orranlsatlons, such
the Salvation Army and the Volunteers!
of America, made ample provision for the
poor in the way of providing Christmas
dinners, candy, toys and clothing for the
children. A free dinner was served for
the poor Saturday nlrht before New
Year's. The result wss that we did not
have to spend any of the money received
by us for these things. We had It to
spend In providing coal and groceries for
those who were In need and were likely to
be In need in the near future. Practically
all of the poor families were provided with
fuel and provisions to last several days
when the storm first came upon them.
When the cold moderates so that they can
leave their homes there will be more cail-
Ing upon us than have called since the
storm began. The days of cold will have
made Inroads upon their supplies so that
they will have to ak for addlUonal help.
"I understand that there has been very
little call for aid from the Jewish and
Roman Cataollc organisations that look
after the poor." '
I'oor men who liave no families and are
homeless were driven to shelter In large
numbers by the bllssard. One hundred and
forty destitute persons were cared for at
the City Minsion Hunday night. Fifty-two
homeless men were housed at the polio
station. l.arg numbers of homeless men
were given shelter from the cold by the
tiaivatlon Army and the Volunteers of
America.
