Tins OMAHA DAILY 15IDE : SUNJXK.Y\ SEPTEMBER 1U , 1807 , $ HOW BILLY BOY SAILED THE GRACE $ 3yr The Cruise of a Four Ycnr-Old and the Important 1'art Ho ? J ? 7f Took In It. UV O. S. PULFORIl. Ullly Hey sat In his father's catbo.1t one fine day In August , as slio skimmed swiftly over the blue waters of Puget sound. Hilly Hey was very happy , for he had Jut Blurted on bis first camping trip with Ms father , William Barnes , who WAS generally called by his acquaintances "Hilly Barnes. " Ills only son had received the same name and was called "Hilly Boy , " to distinguish film from his father. Hilly Doy v > as 4 years old , "going on 5 , " an he himself would hate told you , Ho was short and chulihy , with n round hund and a very Independent disposi tion. tion.His His father was fond of cruising on I'ngct sound , whenever ho could take a few days of leisure , nnd It had been one of Hilly Hoy's most cherished ambitions to go with his father on uno of these expeditions and "camp out" for at least ono night , but his mother had raised strong objections hereto fore , saying that Hilly Hey was too young to be trailing ; i roil mi on the water nnd sleep ing out of doors. However , on this memorable morning she had consented to let Hilly Hey go with his father when he took thu draco from Slella- conm to Tncoma. They started with a favorable breeze , strong enough to send the Oraco through the water at a rate which delighted Hilly Hey , for he had Inherited his father's fond ness for the water , anil when a stronger puff than usual canted the boat to heel over Itt - it * * -I * ' M * ' ! * ! Mf t the wind , when she would pass near enough to the girl to allow Mr. Hamcs to reach her , and afterward come to a stand not far from the man , All this was very clear to Mr. Barnes , If only he had somebody to steer the Grace , Billy Boy still stood at the tiller , watchIng - Ing the little girl In the water atid obeying his father's directions with the utmost cool- ncsi. Mr , Barnes sat on the starboard scat , looking forward , now and then seizing the end of the tiller with his left hand and helpIng - Ing Dllly Boy to keep her straight. He glanced around at the young steers man and said to himself , "I bcllevo ho'll do It. " When wltliln a few feet of the little girl he saw her begin to sink for the third time. It flashed through his mind that In order to save her hu must jump Into the water and len\o his 1-year-old boy nlone In the boat. Ho hesitated. lie could not let her perish before his cjts ho saw her yellow hair floating on the water as she went down. A sea gull tittered a piercing cry , seeming to mack him In his dilemma. He noticed a salmon jump clear out of the water. Then he glanced around at Billy Boy , who looked as If ho felt the fate of nations depending upon him. and was ready to accept the responsibility. Mr. Barnes had thrown off his coat and shoes as soon as ho saw the little girl go overboard , and fastened ono end of a spare rope to a cleat. When the Ornco was within a fen- feet of where the girl ucnt down ho said to Billy n i THE LITTLE STEERSMAN DROPPED THE TJLLEIt. Hilly Hey would clap his chubby hands and i shout , "Ain't It fun , papa ? " Soon they entered the narrows , a stretch of several miles , where the sound Is so nar row that the tldo rushes through with great tcloclty , causing eddies and whirlpools , which , to an unaccustomed eye , seem very terrible. Aa the boat plunged Into a boiling cauldron of water Ullly lioy said , "Papa , what makes the water Jump so ? " i "It Is the tide , " Mr. llarncs answered. "Do you like the tide , papa ? " Mr. Bnrnos was then using all hla strength to prevent the boat from being tuined round by thu eddy and answered rather shortly , "No. " "I do , " Ullly Hey said. "It makes the boat turn round so. " Just then they ran through a lot of drift wood and as the boat struck against ths small pieces of wood Dllly Hey would ex claim , "Do it again , papa , do It again. " Tlio wind held strong until they passed Point Defiance , where the narrows end , when It began to dlo down , and Mr. llarncs decided that It was tlmo to have something to eat. So ho gave Hilly Uoy hla Hint lesson in steering the Grace. He was a proud boy as ho stood with his flaxen head nearly on a level with the tiller and pushed It away from him , pulled It toward him , or held It steady , as his father directed , while tbo latter took the provl- Hlon.s out of thu locker and made corned beef sandwiches for their lunch. Then Mr. Humes took the tiller and Hilly Day relapsed Into silence , as his appetite , naturally good , was Increased by the fresh salt air. Soon after lunch the wind began to grow stronger and they started for Tacoma , their course being nearly southeast , the wind blowing from the northeast. As they drew near to the city Mr. Barnes' mind began to return to his business pros pects , \\iilcli were not very flattering. Dur ing the trip ho had succeeded In throwing off his anxiety , but now It all cnpiu back and hu frit gloomy and depressed. Hilly Hoy. on the other hand , was In excellent spirits and Insisted upon steering tbo boat again He was fast gaining confidence and did just what hla , father told him , with great gravity and precision , Presently Dllly exclaimed , "There's a little sailboat , papa. " Mr. llarncs looked up and naw a man and a llltlu girl In n small catboat some dis tance ahead and almost directly in their WITH HIS FLAXEN HEAD NEARLY ON A LEVEL WITH THE TILLER. course. The wind had freshened somewhat and It required all Hilly Hoy's strength to keep the draco on her course. The mail In the other boat did not seem to understand sailing very well , and pres ently hu jibed , and the little girl was brushed off Into the water by the boom , The man seemed dazed ( or a moment , evidently hesitating whether to jump In after her or try to rescue her from the boat. boat.Then ho throw the boat up Into tbo wind , going past the little girl , but not near enough to reach her. He then gave up the Idea of getting the boat around again , and jumped Into the water , The Grace \ > a very near , the little girl lying nearly In her course , but a little on the port side. The man , further to port and some distance ahead , was struggling In the water , evidently a poor swimmer. The plan of action was plain to keep the Grace on her present course until sjie nearly roacbcd the little slrl. then run her up Into Boy , "Push thB tiller away from you till the sail comes over your head , then let it alone till papa tells you what to do. Hilly Boy obeyed , and , as It passed the spot where the little girl went down , Mr. Barnes , seizing the loose end of the rope , jumped In after her. She bad sunk only a few feet when he reached her , and he came to the surface again just as the boom swung over Billy Boy's bead. Thu little steersman dropped the tiller , and , leaning with his elbows on the combing. In the position of one of Raphael's cherubs , watched with great In terest Ills father pulling himself up to the bent by the rope , which ho still held , car rying bis unconscious burden under one arm. arm.As As they came near the boat Billy Boy re marked with the utmost gravity , "Did you get wet , papa ? " and then seeing the white face of the little girl , ho whispered In an awe-struck tone , "Has she gone to Jesus ? " Billy Boy had turned the boat so for tunately that when she came to rest the man In the water , who had seized a piece of driftwood and thus saved himself from drowning , was near enough to catch hold of the side of the Grace. So It happened that as Mr. Barnes pulled himself Into the boat with the rescued girl , her father , as he turned out to be , climbed In on the other side. side.Tho two men soon succeeded In restoring the little girl to consciousness and It was a happy party that sailed into Tacoma with the small boat In tow. When Billy Boy and his father reached home and Billy Boy In great excitement had told his mother all about the adventure , she exclaimed In a tone of severity , "Wil liam .Barnes , do you mean to say you left that baby In the boat all alone ? " However , when she found that Hilly Boy and his father bad rescued a wealthy merchant and his daughter , she relented. Soon bettor times came to tlio 'Barnes ' household , Tbo grateful father found profit able employment for 'Mr. ' Barnes , and Hilly Boy had a tricycle and a miniature tail- boat , modeled after his father's boat , al ! be cause he sailed the Grace so well. SOMI : cuniouh WATCIIKS. Woiiilrrful niri-liiiiilxm of Am-lt-iit Tli > n'Ui'CUT | . With all our modern Improvements we rarely hear nowadays of watches so fanci fully complex as used to be made for great folks In the times when all watches were expensive and comparatively novel. King George III. , In the year 17C9 , received a present of a watch that was a kind of mechanical almanac : It pointed out tlio date and also had a device to show the varying lengths of tbo days , according to the season. It was not bigger than other watches of the tlmo , but then they were all what wo should call turnips now. The E-mporor Napoleon I. had a watch which wound Itself up by means of a weighted lover , which , ut every step his majesty took , rose and full , and having a gathering click to It wound up a racket attached o the barrel. Pedometers were afterwards made on the same principle. The duke of Wellington had a watch which was given to him by the king of Spain from which the tlmo could bo told by the touch , the hours being marked by studs. In the back of the case was placed an index which , when moved forward , would stop at the portion of the hour Indicated by the watch , and then by means of tbo studs th ; tlmo could bo approximately computed In the dark , Catherine of Russia had a watch constructed by an Ingenious peasant which played a chant , and had within It tiny mechanical figures which , moving about , were supposed to represent the ncciio of the resurrection of the Savior ; the chant was then heard all over Russia at Eastertlme , But this watch was bigger than a hen's egg. 1112 FOIJM ) A IflO.dOO OIIKC1C.
