Pandora Joins fae Flying Dutchmans Fleet ’ T N the dusty records of the | great maritime world's ; movements the brief en- j try of the missing yawl i Pandora will read like i this: "Pandora; yawl Perth, ! Australia. Captains Hlvthe and ArapakiR From New York for London. July JO. 3911. Not reported.”—Maritime Mlscel The words give no intimation of .be mystery, or perhaps tragedy, which lies behind them Only to tome bronzed skipper who knows the North Atlantic in all her moods will! heir meaning be clear Those two words are all the world has time to give to the fight of two brave men against the unconquered •trength of the sea against stkrva lon and thirst, against the winds »nd the storms and ice and unbear able heat. In some cases “not re ported" tells merely the story of a schooner lost through carelessness.' but in the case of the little Pandora »nd her brave skippers a volume might be written of their adventures Theirs is the story of the call of the sea. the song to which tbetr ears had been trained for generations and to which they listened once too often Three years have passed since they ieard it the -last time, and more than a year ago the Pandora left New York harbor for London after her thrilling voyage from Australia. She has never been .-eep since she dropped past the pilot s boat. No vessel passing in nr out of New York it any other North Atlantic port has ever sighted the sturdy little yawl Now she has become a part of that mysterious fleet of which the Flying Dutchman Is the flagship and which I has the Sargasso sea as its place of gathering. The story of Capt Samuel Blythe and Capt Peter Arapakis Is one of two men who saw more than the spray in a breaking wave To them the se* but meant life and liberty, freedom of action and thought, and for years they made it play Its part Then the waves rose and demanded their due. and the Pandora, with her skipper*, was the toll. The Pandora was 3« feet long and of generous beam for her length Her keel was stocky and dwarfed and her j mainmast the size of a derrick boom Her sails—she had three sets—were I t*C the best grade of heavy naval can vas and as for Interior fittings, she had none other than demanded by ab solute necessity. The Pandora «a> not for pleasure save in an inverted sense. She was to sail around the world but her ovdcm also intended to make certain nautical observations which they hoped would be of value i to the world So. one fine day three years age she sailed out of Perth harbor, provisioned for a four months' cruise »nd with two men on hoard who had answered to the call of the gea The Pandora was bound for cape Horn, but she was to call at several South American ports for fresh supplies The voyage across the Pacific was un PTentfcl. fair wind* and a calm sea was prevailing all the way. Along the ! Chilian coast they put into two har bors for food and water and as each day passed their admiration for the lit tie Pandora grew for she was prov ing worthy with every new emer gency So far the sea had permitted the indignity of two men in a thirty-six foot boat and had left them unmo lested. but Just after they set out to Tszzr fawBontt round the Horn it rose in majestic in dignation and began to refute their theories. If it were not for the unmistakable signs which such an experience ytould have left on the yawl the tale of Cap tain Arapakis could hardly have been I believed. But the dents which the compass box had made on the cabin roof and the scar on Captain Arapa kis' head were enough proof without the photographs of the Pandora after the storm. The Pandora ran into bad weather two days after she started around the Horn and before she had passed the entrance to the Straits of Magellan There was a wind of about sixty miles velocity and it had. during the course of an afternoon blown up waves from sixty to seventy feet in height Toward evening the wind suddenly veered completely around with the result that the top o'1 each wave was blown back and folded over, much after the manner in which a cook would treat a piece of dough out of which he intended to make a Parker House roll. The little Pandora was trying to live out the storm under a try sail and sea anchor and was succeeding in her usual man ner. much to the gratiScation of her designers and'builders. when the sail was carried away by a gust and the kedge anchor went by the board. It was the third they had lost during the afternoon. As soon as the restraint of the sea anchor was lifted the Pandora swung into the trough of one great wave Up and up she climbed on the wall of water until It grew th!n md weak at the top and was folded back by .he wind. The wave broke just above the yawl and crashed back, carrying the little vessel with It. Then the Pandora turned complete ly over and for a space of twenty sec onds everything tn her cabin, includ ing her Bkippers. rested on the roof. By the law of precedent shp should have sunk like a cannon ball, but the Pandora was not built along those lines. She righted herself and lived, but her main mast had been snapped short and all of her rigging, with the exception of the jury mast, was acting as a flail a^ It followed along tn the trough It was naif an hour of hard work before the foul rigging was cut I away. All night the Pandora tossed in the storm, but she came through on top and was worked into port un der her jury sail. So great had been the force of the storm that long strips of the copper sheeting which covered her hull had been torn away Perhaps this fact accounts for her later loss. With a new mast and another set of sails the Pandora made her way to New York and she reached Quaran tine more than two years after she left Perth. She looked like some sort of a dejected mongrel when I went cn board her as she lay at the Atlantic Yacht Club anchorage, but her cap tains were proud and spent several hours telling of their little yawl's per formances under the most trying conditions. Captain Arapakis was of Greek de scent, but how far back it was he i could not tell. He was not an un imaginative sailor, for his talks about | his life and his boat were full of phil ! osophies that come only to a man who has spent solitary months at sea. The little cabin of the Pandora contained a number of books, such as one would hardly expect to 6ee in such 'a place. There were Darwin Spencer, two volumes of Ftalzac. the sea tales of Kipling and Kingsley. i Captain Blythe was more the usua' type of stolid British merchant skip per who always talked with one eye cocke»d to the weather and his other resting with a pleased expresion or i some pet line of the Pandora. While the Pandora was in New York one of the Greek societies gave to each ot the men a medal. Two weeks in New York was enough for them. They had hoped tc take the Pandora out of water and repair the torn copper hull sheathing but the weather was so fine and the ' winds so even that they decided tc ; get under way for London. On July j 20, 1911, they hoisted sail and started That is as far as the story goes Three months later Captain Blythe's 1 brother. J. Forbes Blythe, of Coven try, England, wrote a letter to the custom house in New York asking for information about the Pandora and j saying the little vessel had never re ported in any English or Continental port. No information could be given to him. \ I Years Devoted to Sleep Remarkably Large Part of Man's Life time Spent In More or Less Happy Slumber. "The days of our lives are three score years and ten." sings the Psalm ist. and the man or woman whr at tains tbat age spends years of his life in doing what are regarded as com mon. daily actions. The average person of 70 has spent no fewer than 23 year* of his life In bed. assuming that his nightly sleep had been eight boure throughout life Most people spend about fifteen min utes a day over the care of their teeth The etptuagenarions have thus spent almost a year in this way. How long have they spent at table?

He found that Wj introducing an alternating current through the pickling brine the hams could be cured in from thirty to thirty five days, as against ninety to a hun- j dred by the ordinary method. A large plant in Cleveland is now curing meat by this process. The plant generates direct current for use in various ca | ■acities, and a portion of it is con verted into alternating current by jpbeacs of a rotary converter, to pro vide the energy used in the curing vats.

EVIDENTLY OUT OF PLACE Indignant Frenchman Had Some Fault to Find With Postmaster, and Said So. A Frenchman with a name spelled a la Paris and pronounced something like Ca-choo had never learned to read or write, but he managed to dis guise the fact pretty well until he moved to a new community where the ' name was not common. Going to the postoflice one morning he inquired: “Got any mail for Joe Ca-choo?" “What's the name?” inquired the clerk. “Ca-choo. Joe Ca-choo.” “How do you spell it?” "Can't you spell Joe Ca-choo?" "No,'' said the clerk, “I never heard it before." Then the disgust of the French man, which had been constantly ris ing, boiled over and he snorted: “Well, if you can't spell, why don't you sell your old postoffice to some one that can?” BABY IN MISERY WITH RASH Monroe, Wis.—“When my baby was six weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until it got nearly all over his body. It form ed a crust on his head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust, the water would ooze out in big drops. On face and body it was in a dry form and would scalp off. He was in great mis ery and at nights I would lie awake bolding his hands so that be could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good. “Finally a friend suggested Cutieura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my surprise after a few applications I could see an improvement, and he would rest better.
