what was goiag on. An hour after mid

seemed to be a troubled dream. I was

Xkaew by tke feel of her that she was

and bo more, bat dunrped myself down
on the deck and was asleep in five sec
aads. When ! opeaed my eyes, the sea
was aa hour high, and a big albatroes
was poised directly above me and not
50 feet high- It did not take me long
to master the details of the wreck.

ker decks, bat masts and yards and
beats and booass had gone clear off her
as they fell. She had settled down un
til ker scrapper holes were only a few
inches above water, but owing to the
booyaat cargo- she could not sink deeper.
As a sailor X made her out to be a

thac she was the "STarfe of Brest. She
was a HEall craft; carrying a crew cf

washed overboard or taken to the beats
there was no means of telling until I
kad made an investigation below.

An all important matter is. growing
vines is to see that they are constantly
sapflied with. EuJScient water. Planted
as they usually are, in a situation where
they are exposed to- tke sms a major

very rapidly, and plenty cf water
should be given when neceseary. Is the
event of red spiders attacking the foli
age of the tender sorts af annuals, a
daily syringing will quickly eradicate

growth, in annuals, cut the tips of the
runners. Hardy vines, sucir as wistari
as, honeysuckles, eto, when not grow
iag too rapidly, can be trimmed with,
