AN OLD MARINER'S TALES OF BRAV

"Bah I" he said. Ton have a lot to
learn, young mm. Tea have as much
sentiment in jenr construction as this
stick: I carry.
"The idea of a youth like yon trying
to tell me that there is as ranch hmvery
and pathos attached to seafaring nevrss
there was -when Ivas master of a -wind
jammer! Ton probably believe that yen
are correct in your statement; but, man
alive, you are making a fool of yourself.
Here in these days you have lifeboats
big and stout enough "to '" -y an army
of men. Ton have steam to manipulate
the falls, patent davits to swing clear.
.No lowering away by hands and no get
ting them back over the side with every
pound of flesh a-pnlling. 2 ew fangled
gtms far throwing a life line, rafts that
won't go to pieces in the first chop of a
sea, cork jackets that need no instruction
cards, but which go on like a man's
vest; pumps that are rusty for want of
nse, seamless plates and dozens of other
inventions in these days. Where were
thev in the old times?
"-Let me tell yon something. I don't
say but that- there are many brave and
gallant mariners in the business now.
But the old shipwreck meant more in
the matter of life taking than the ship
wreck of today does. Did you ever hear
tell of a sailor of the old school trying
to get into a boat before the passengers
were out of danger? You needn't say
yon have, because you have not. Why,
the only ones who ever attempt any
thing of that kind are stokers and fire
men and rowdies who have the impu
dence to call themselves sailers.
"I rem ember the case of ashore loafer
named Holmes, who tried a shenanigan
like that. He was after ward tried in the
United States circuit court at Philadel
phia and was convicted of manslaughter.
He was one of 30 shipwrecked persons
who took to the long beat, which was
greatly overloaded and cunstantly in
danger of sinking. Well, this beach rat
Holmes and some more of Abraham's
men threw overboard 16 passengers, two
of whom were women, to lighten the
boat. The court held that a sailor is
bound by law, if necessary, to sacrifice
his life to save the life of passengers.
Furthermore the court held that while
two sailors might struggle with each
other for the possession of the same
plank which could save but cne, if a
passenger were on the plank even the
law of necessity would not justify the
sailors in Taking it from him. You do
not think much of that law? Well, it is
the law of God. It is also the law of
duty.
"Did you ever hear cf the case of
Captain Xutman of the ship Aidar? He
was a geed sailer and a gallant master
and no matter wrt many may think,
it is possible to be both. His ship foun
dered, but he rclcscd to be taken off.
po yonkrew why he refcsi d to be taken
off? There was an injured man on board,
and while the old timbers were going
to pieces under bis very feet he knelt
down and said to the man:
" 'I won't leave yen, lad. On my
hcnGr as a sailer I wen't.'
"On his hener as a sailor he would
not leave him. Have you ever heard of
anything more tonchingly honest? Cap
tain Kutman wect down with his ship,
but managed to hold on to his man and
to get to the bottom of an upturned
boat, from which they were afterward
rescued. It was a month or so after that
when a townsman asked Captain Hut
man what the name of the rescued man
was.
"'Why, I never inquired,' he said.
He just signed articles in the regular
way. I may have heard it then, but I
do not know it now. He was a Swede,
that's all I know cf hira.'
"The friend shook his head in aston
ishment as he inquired;
"'What! A Swede? Take all that
chance for a Swede?
'Why, yes, even for a Swede. I didn' fe
care whether he was a Swede or a
Laplander. He was a geed sailer and
would have done the same for me had
things been reversed."
"Nor is that alL young man. There
was a shipwreck about 1 84o, but the
name of the craft has escaped my mem
ory. The crew took to one boat, which
was overcrowded. A noble .Newfound
land, the pet cf the ship, swam along
side the beat. All the men turned their
eves sadly upon him, but they knew
there was no room for him in that boat.
The captain loved that dog better than
he loved his life, and he stood up in the
boat as he took oft his coat and saidr
" I cannot see him jlie like this.
Give brm my place in the boat. I can
hold on to the plank, and he cannot."
"There was a chorus of dissent, and
one of the sailors struck the brute over
the head with the blade of an oar, while
another pulled his sheath knife.
" 'Don't hurt him, said the captain
kindly, but firmly.
" 'Order hrm away, then,' growled
several of the men. 'He will swamp us
alL'
"The captain hesitated a minute,
waved his arm in the air and Eaid,
Back, Prince!' and the faithful brute
swam back in the direction in which
the vessel had disappeared beneath the
surface. Where do you find such pathos
ill the sea business now? Give me the
old sailor every time. ,s

the young mariner "dived into William

ONE OF THE OLDEST SHIPS.
ia Americ
Bark Bant la 17C4 Stm
Do lag- DHty.
The bark True Hove, built ri PhSa
ielphia in 1764, has been found upon
search to be yet afloat in the capacity cf
a coal hulk, engaged in active trade.
This discovery was made through a cas
ualty recorded in the -Maritime Exchange
as follows: True Love, barge, was in
collision with schooner Gravesend of
London, off Gravesend, and had port
quarter damaged to such an extent that
it was found necessary to tow her into
Rochester, and she arrived at that place
in charge of the tug Commerce. The
true XiOve has not only outlived her
builders and their successors, but has
also outlived every craft that was built
in her time and for many years after
ward, and this fact, coupled with, the
report that the historic craft is still en
gaged in active pursuits, places Phila
delphia at the very top notch as a ship
building center.
In 1764, when this famous old craft
was launched on the banks of the Dela
ware, although her length was but 96
feet 8 inches, she was then the largest
vessel of commerce that the Delaware
had ever floated. Contrast this with the
dimensions cf the huge Hamburg- Amer
ican Packet company's steamship Penn
sylvania, whose length is 5S7 f get, and
one will be amazed with the magnitude
cf the modern ship of commerce. The
True .Lave, upon being completed, sailed
away from Philadelphia early in 1765,
and no record is had of her return to
this city until Aug. 22, 1873, when, at
the age of 109 years, she came into port
from Ivigtut, Greenland, with a cargo
of kry elite in command of Captain
Thomas Nathaniel, consigned to B.
Crowley. She was discharged here and
surveyed by the American Lloyds in
October, 1873, and sailed away, never
to return again. Upon her arrival short
ly afterward in Louden she was sold
and turned into a coal hulk, in which
capacity she still serves.
The dimensions of this famous True
.Lave are: Length, 96 feet 8 inches;
beam, 26 feet 9 inches; depth cf hold,
17 feet. She measured 206 tens register,
and, like all old craft, carried very lit
tle more cargo.
The discovery that there was still
afloat a Philadelphia built vessel of such
an age has caused much comment on
the floors of the Maritime Exchange,
and some shipping men are of the opin
ion that this old craft should, if possi
ble, be purchased as a relic. Records
show that the True Love was far a time
owned in EnlL England, by G Dahl
previous to her purchase by John S.
Ward cf London, and during that time
she was engaged in the Baltic trade.

THE PLAYFUL SEAL.
Xots of rrra In ilnslin Things In the
"Water- "Willi Its "WTiiskew.
i
Seals have on either side of the nose '
a little scattering bunch cf whiskers or '
bristles something like a cat's whiskers. '
The bristles of the hair seal the species
at the aquarium at Battery park are 1
not so long as those of the fur seal, but '
they are three or four inches in length,
and they are white and slender and flex- .
fble. The older of the aquarium seals,
which has been there about 2) years,
gets a lot of fun out cf its whiskers. It
juggles mings m tne water wiui mem
for hours at a time.
There may be floating in the pool a
fragment of fish skin, for instance, left
from the last feeding. The seal will
swim under this and raise it on the tips
of its slender bending whiskers. The
fragment floats away or dodges off with
the agitation of the water caused by the
seal's motions, and the seal swings its
head under it and raises it again on its
whisker tips. If it slides down a wave
that the seal has raised, the seal swims
after it. The seal is a very rapfd and
graceful swimmer. Sometimes this seal
when it has tossed up the fragment of
fish cfrrn in this way will turn over in
the water with a swift spiral movement 1
and catch the fish skin on" its bristles
again when it comes up. It is some- '
thing like a man tossing things up in ,
the air and then turning round and back i
in time to catch them when they come (
down. i
For hours at a time, as a kitten plays
with a ball, the seal juggles this frag
ment floating in the water. New York

Sloping Shoulders.
And now, says a New York fashion
writer, comes the disagreeable news
that in foreign fashion centers sloping
shoulders ar to reign. We have it
on undoubted authority that the leop
ard cannot change his spots nor man
add one cubit to his stature, yet will
the modem exponent of fashion ex
ercise her ingenuity in the alteration of
the anatomy above the shoulders. For
many years we have worn our shoulders
up to our ears, so to speak. Now all is
to be changed, and the fashionable
woman must assume the virtue of slop
ing shoulders, though she have it or
not. Seams from neck to shoulder point
are to be lengthened, and all fullness
that remains in the top of the sleeve
will tend in a downward direction. -Lne
shoulders proper will remain where they
are, but will look as if they had received
a direct impetus toward the elbow.

Sixectiea Did Him. a Good Tsrs, as the
Drummer S&w .
One day in LeadviHe, Cola, I had
t -
just finished dinner, when a stranger
Epoke to me in the hoteL We chatted j
far a minute or two, and then the stran- i
ger, whose name I afterward learned
was Harry Conner, or Black Harry for
Ehort, asked me if I was not selling
hardware. I told him I was, and he said
he wanted to buy a knife. I said I had
same knives with me, but only as sam
ples, and that, of course, I never sold
samples. "WelL" he said, "that's the
reason I came to yon. I hunted the town
over this morning to find a knife, and I
couldn'r find one that was worth carry
ing. I thought probably you might have
cne or two good ones, and that yon
would sell one. I don't care what the
price is, so it suits me." I finally con
sented to show him what I had.
I never saw a man examine a knife
as he did one that he selected. I had
perhaps 40 different ones, but he gave
only a glance at the lot and picked out
the best one there in an instant. Picking
it up, he weighed it in his hand, turned
it over and over, ran the edge of it
across the back of his thumb nail, as a
barber tries a razor, flicked the point
with his nail, scrutinized every frac
tional part of the blade and hilt, and
then, grasping it firmly, swung his arm
in the prettiest sort of knife play, as if
testing its weight and balance still more
carefully. Then, stepping over to a
wooden bottomed chair, he drove the
blade squarely through the 14 inch
wood with a powerful blow. Then he
threw it at a knot in the wooden parti
tion that separated my room from the
next and left the knife sticking squarely
in the knot.
"That's a pretty geed throw," I said.
"Do yon think so2" he answered in
differently, and he stepped over to the
partition and drew out the knife, still
smiling, and stepping back 12 feet
threw it again.
This time he struck; the exact spot
he had hit at first. I could see but one
mark after he had drawn the knife out
the second time. "Oh, that's nothing,"
he said, and with the point of the knife
he scratched a rough circle on the wood
about the size of a man's hand. Step
ping back to where he stood before, he
turned his back to the target, and then,
looking at it over his right shoulder, he
threw the knife over his left, sticking
it fairly in the target. Then he reversed
the trick, throwing over his right shoul
der, and finally, planting himself care
fully in the same place, he looked quick
ly over his shoulder, and then, turning
his face directly away, he threw the
knife over his head, striking the same
target and leaving the knife an inch
deep in the wood.
"I want that knife," he Eaid, rather
peremptorily, "and I want it just 50
worth." And he pulled a $30 greenback
out af his pocket and laid, it on the ta
ble. X took the money. I thought a man
who could use a knife like that ought to
have a good cne.
I had started out in the evening to see
what was going on and had looked in at
three cr four gambling hells before I
came to one where Black Harry sat play
ing faro. He sat with his left hand to
ward the deer, and as I sauntered up to
the table he Fmiled a little and nodded,
but did not speak.
I noticed that he was watching the
door. He did not turn his head, but his
eyes seemed to be everywhere at once,
and, though he was playing steadily,
and with fairly good luck, too, I was
certain that he saw every motion that
anybody made anywhere in the roam,
excepting cf course right behind him.
Presently I n oticed that he was watch
ing a man who was just coming in. The
newcomer was a stout built, ugly look
ing fellow, who looked carefully around
as he entered and "who almost immedi
ately saw Black Harry. He started a
little, and then, evidently thin king that
Connor did not see him, stepped care
fully to his right till he was almost be
hind where Connor sat. Still Connor
did not trim his head, but I could see
him watching the other as he stepped
Elowly around until he was fairly out
of the range even of Connor's remark
able eyes. Then I saw Conner suddenly
look full at the dealer with a question
as plainly expressed as it could have
been in wards. So I naturally leaked at
the dealer.
He gave no sign at first that I could
see of even knowing that Connor was in
front of him, but went an dealing as if
there was nothing else in the world to
da Then in an instant his eyes seemed
to blaze. When I saw the dealer's sig
nal, I looked back at Connor and in an
instant saw a tragedy. The newcomer
was drawing a revolver, and at the same
time Connor was turning his head and
throwing the knife I had sold him. He
rcse from his chair as he threw it, and
the stranger's revolver exploded, but the
bullet went wild, far he sank to the
floor as he fired, with the point of the
knife in his brain.
"Gentlemen," said the dealer before
any one else could speak, ' 1 say Black
Harry done just right. That white Iiv

He was more than an crdmariiy ac
complished liar for an amateur, and
they all knew it when they asked him
far a story.
"I can tell you howl enco ran an en
gine and saved a trainlead of people
with an oyster stew If yon want to
know, but I den't think of anything
more exciting than that ' he said apolo
getically. "That's good enough," they all de
clared. "Give ns that."
"AH right, then, here gees, "he said
as he settled back in his chair. "I was
once engineer on a read that ran for a
long distance through the forests cf
northern Wisconsin, and we were fre
quently bothered by forest "fires. They
were particularly bad at the time I
speak of. One dsy I had run through
one big blaze, only to find that there
was a bigger one ahead. The worst of
it was we were low on water, and there
was no chance to fill the tank without
dashing through the fire ahead of us. I
sent the fireman cut to see if we had
enough to make the run, but he came
back: and told me the boiler was almost
dry.
' 'I was puzzled for awhile. It was
death to all of ns I knew tc stay there,
but how to get cut was the question.
Suddenly a happy thought struck me.
There was a milk car just behind the
first baggage, and I made for it. 'How
much milk have ycu got?' I says to the
fellow in charge. 'About 40 cans, I
guess, ' he answered. 'Why do you askr
'Sever mind, ' says L 'What's that in
those cans in the corners' 'Oysters,' he
answered. 'But why da you want to
know?' 'Never you mind,' I told him,
and then I ordered the other train hands
who had come up to- see why we had
stopped to tote that milk and these oys
ters up to the engine.
"They did it in spite of the kicking
of the milkman, and when they had
brought them up I ordered them all
chucked into the tank. The conductor
came up, too, and declared it was a
funny notion to be making oyster stew
in an engino toiler, when we were in
danger of being burned alive, but I
Eocn convinced him that it was neces
sary if we did net want to stay there
and roast.
"Well, we finally dumped in all the
milk and all tho oysters and started
ahead. You ought to have smelkd the

engine jump, though, and that was all
we wanted. We got up a great head cf

plunged through that next fire belt was
a caution. As we pulled up at the sta
tion just beyond I opened up and began
to whistle- A great cloud of oyster soup
or vapor shot into the sky, of course,
and didn't come down till we were far
out cf sight. Then it settled like a

body noticed it, of course, and there

A Scotch Bess EmmmeL
A Scotch weekly paper named Saint
.Hun go tells of the costume of seme of
the gentry who may be seen walking
upon the fashionable streets .of Edin
burgh. One citizen is described as fol
lows: "Mr. Theodore Napier is a well
known figure in Edinburgh. He walks
along Princes street in a kilt of royal
Stewart or Lennox tartan and usually
has a red coat with a dark vest, over the
front of which he wears an embroidered
belt of scarlet silk instead of plain
leather. He is gorgeous with dirks,
skene dims, sporrans and other orna
ments, and he lets his hair fall to his
shoulders under a bonnet that is a cross
between Glengary and Balmoral and
trimmed with feathers. "
The burgher who strides along Princes
street, bearing these acconterments, is
not a crank. He is a level headed, well
composed, thoughtful and wealthy gen
tleman, standing high in Edinburgh so
ciety. Suppose that a man thus apparel
ed and caparisoned were to walk along
our streets! What a time there would
be! Within the past few years, or since
the introduction of bicycling, golfing
and other funny sports, some of the men
and women in American cities wear
costumes the like of which were not to
be seen in the old times. But for all
that we doubt whether Air. Theodore
Napier of Edinburgh would greatly en
joy life in this country if he appeared
in the public street in the fixtures de
scribed by Saint 2Iungo-

Plaything, the newspaper wise man

five foot fcois d'are (he called it hickory)
segment of a hogshead hoop, hight a
bow, in the hand of a half naked Sioux
buck. It came from a yew tree cf Spain
to the London workshop, a billet in the
rough, but to be split out with care, and
pot a flaw in it. The bawyer scrutinized
it with the connoisseur's knowing eye,
found it perfect, laid it up to season.
And for five years dream of it far
five long years that billet passed from
stage to stage, slowly hand worked into
a bow. Then yet another vear it was
tested and polished before 3 could have
it. From the strongly wrought horn
neck tips to the green plush handle raid
way between, it is a comfort to look
upon. You might well call it a sennet
in weed. A hickory fcow, indeed, and
an Indian archer! With this yew at 80
yards I shot 9 cut of 11 arm -a s through
a gourd eight inches in diameter.
