bar, wiille the mlite on the schooner took
soundings all along over the bar and
found not less than two and one-half

SHIP'S STRANGE STORY
She Was -Stanch and Fast, but
Had an Awful Cruise.
FALLING IN WITH A DERELICT
Held Back for Twenty Days ou t
Silent Sea by Some Unex
plained Impediment.
rittsbug Post. '
If there was a faster snip afloat in the
BO's than the Tornado, I have never heard
her reforreed to.' The foot that aire wjb
a dipper to sail came aboult more by
accident than design, for She was built
in an English shipyard by English ship
wrights and aifter the p&un of an English
draughtsman. It Is no slur on tlhe Eng
lish, nation to cay thtait they have never
known how to touM sailing eKpa to com
pare with the crafts turned out on this
side of thie waiter. They have made some
chances in their models and In the man
ner of rigging, but up to this date have
refused to copy after the Yankees ana
turn out a combination of speed, grace
and carrying capacity. It was a source
of wonder to everybody who saw the
Tornado that fJhe was launched from a
British shipyard, and heir tilckmaime The
Accident-followed her all over the woria.
She was three years old and had won a
record when I eru-pped in her for a voyage
from Liverpool to 6am Francisco and re
turn. She had a crow of twenty-two men
and misceClaneous cargo, and was com
manded by Oaiplt. James Gross.
No lees than nine sailing vessels' left
Liverpool on the same tide with us, but
one, Jhe Astral, was bound around the
Horn. The otiWetrB were for ports in
Brazil. We were four hours behind the
last one in the fleet, and yet in a run of
fifteen hours after the tug dropped us,
we ware in the lead. The Tornado was a
ship of OGO tons burcten, but she handled
like a yacht and had! no tricks about ner.
Her best point of calling, as in all square
riggers, was with the wind over the quar
ter, bub she was a surprise, no matter how
the wind came along. When another ship
of her class would have two men at
her wheel with their Jaolcets off and their
sfflrias wet with persplra'tilon the Tornado
only wanted the .touch of a single hand
to keep her waste as stmlghit as an arrow.
On that accoistan there mure eighteen
days when we logged off a dally run
which t!ie captain of a steamer mignt
have been proud of, and the voyage to
San Francdsoo was made four days
shorter than ever Wefore Iby a soiling
ship.
When ready to leave pom we found we
were to have company. Th bark Wild
Rose and thie shtp Arrow, both American,
were homeward bound to New York and
Boston. Both were fast crafts and the
result of much bmgglnig and boosting was
a wager on which craft would round the
Horn first. The three captains put the
sum of 81,500 into a pool for the victor,
and I have no doubt the American cap
tains followed Capitate Cross example in
promising the men exltra money if they
won the wager. The Arrow passed out
first, followed by the bark, and both were
ten miles o'fr he ooaist before we had
passed Seal Rock. There was a fresh
breeze from Just the point we wanted It,
and In three hours we were leading the
bark and creeping upon the ship, -
At sundown we were leading the lat
ter by five miles. Next morning the ocean
was oVear as far as could bo seen, and
the crew looked upon tihe wagar as al
ready won. The rum to the south was
almost .the average of a passenger steam
er, and each day's run was chalked on a
blackboard for the benefit of the crew.
At noon every day there was cheering
and tossing up of caps, and the mate
gave out that wie were likely to beat the
record going home Bind thus lop oft the
days at both ends.
Fate had set a trap for the Tornado,
however, and we found lis jaws wide
open as we ran down to the equator.
One afternoon two hours after the black
board had given us the run of the pre
vious twenty-four hours as 260 miles, the
breeze began to die away, and by sun
down there waan t air enough to etlr
feoither. Of course, we hoped It was only
a temporary calm. Not having any ports
to touch alt the caiptaln had stood oft
the American coaet until h'S southing
would pass him between Eastfr and
Gomez Islands, The Americans might
have followed In our wake or cut tn
closer to the coast. Every hour we lay
there we allowed them to gain on us,
and when the right passed and true sun
came up and brought no breeze we could
figure that both were 160 miles nearer.
From sunup to sundown we lay there,
drifting a but, but without the slightest
breeze,' and with the sun so hot that all
work wias suspended. Just at sunset It
oloudied up and a deluge of rain descend
ed, but when the rain ceased and the
clouds drifted away the same dead at-
mofiptrcre prevailed as before.
Then we began to realize that we were
in for a long-continued calrm. One may
encounlter a calm on any portion of the
sea, but an equatorial calm has eenea
tjona to be experienced nowhere else. The
sky loses Its color and becomes dead; the
surface of the water has a greasy aspect
and the monotony of the desert; the eter
nal cheeping of the blocks and the creak
of ithe yards brings out a feeling of loneli
ness to make men sulky and cross.
For Ave consecutive days and nights
'there was not even a puff of wind, and
the wealther was so hot that no unneces
sary work was done. It was well for the
ship that the officers understood sailors'
naturies In a calm. Had the captain
oursed and the mates nagged there would
have been a mutiny. Juok works by the
calendar month. The longer tftve voyage
Is spun out the imore pay 1s duo him, and
yet nothing upsets him more than slow
sailing, while he would sooner lose a
month's pay than to tte becalmed1 for a
week. 9
Toward the close of the fifth day the
Arrow, which bad followed our routs,
hove In sight and poaeed us about ten
ml Its to the wwltwurd. We aflterwiard as
certained she lost a topmast and soma
of her saiKs In a squall, and bad thus
been delayed. While we lay wallowing on
the greasy sea she sailed right past us.
In other words, ten miles to the east of
us there was a shan't of wind to carry her
over the line, while the flume of a candle
on board of us would not even, waver. The
American bark had taken the inshore
route and passed us two days before,
though we knew nothing about it.
I never heard such hearty cursing
aboard of a craft as was Indulged In
that evening when we saw the Yankee
disappearing to the south. Our Ave days'
gain on her was not only lost but she
was clipping along at the rate of six or
seven milts an hour, while we were ly
ing like a water-soaked log. There were
half a dozen fights in the fore castle be
fore o'clock, and at about 10 the cap
taki and mates had a row In the cabin
which could plainly be heard forward.
Everybody was mud ant) disgusted and
wanted to vent his spite on another.
The sixth day came and went, as did
the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.
There was no change tn the sky no
change in the water. We ate, smoked,
drank, growled and slept, and, no mat
ter what sort of a statement one mads
he was promptly called a liar and the
offer made to tight him. On the forenoon
of the seventh day a ship passed us to
the eatwirr, boun.1 norm. On tao cir.th
day a ship passed us calling to the south.
On ithe afternoon of tlhe tenth day the
caiptaln ordered three boots down to tow
the Tornado to the eastward. The Idea
waa ait first hailed with satisfaction, but
afiter iwe had labored for an hour without
seeming to have moved the ship as much.
as 100 fedt, the men refused to. do an
Oliver stroke of work. I never could un
dersaamd just what was the matter at
this Juncture.
While the TomaJdia had1 a pretty full
cargo, we ought to have beem able to tow
her in any dLrectdom eJt the rate of two
miles an hour. Do our very best, we
could make no headway to the east. We
may have been on the edge of a current,
or the sped of terrible hot weather might
have .weakened us more than we sus
pected. At any rails we nearly broke our
backs pulling away, at .the oars for sixty
minutes, and then gave It up. The cap
tain coaxed and threatened, but fin ally
retired to his caibm and the boats were
hoisted. In.
The eleventh day came and went, then
the twelfth, thUrteenth and. fourteenth.
At midnight of the fourteenth a few
Cats-paws began playing about, but the
shdp had no more than got steerage way
when It foil' a hat, dead oaltn again.
At sunrise on 'tlhe fifteenth morning the
ea.me thing happened again, and again tn
the afternoon, and we may have made
something like a mile to the south.
From the flret day of the calm we had
visitors in the shape of sharks. There
were only two on the first day, but after
th.it we could always count alt least a
dozen. But for the presence of these
monsters the men could have found some
relief from the heat In .tlhe waiter. On the
fifteenth day, after a long spell of box
hauling the yards about to caitchhe puffs
wnicn noa no we ght in them, the ship's
carpenter announced that he was going
to coca on alongside if it cost him Iks
life. Borne of the men had gone below
and some were lying about wherever thr
could find shade, when he went over the
bowa - I was seated on the heel of the
bowsprit, where I could get a bit of air
as the ship rose and fell on the glassy
ground swell, and was the only one
aooara wno witnessed the tragedy.
Before dropping Into the water the man
looked about him. The dorsal fins of at
least fifteen sharks were cutting the
water, and he musn have fully realised
the risk he was about to run. I further
more called his attention to It, but he
growled out something about my minding
my a win business and made a dive from
the rail. Every ftn went out of sight In
an Instant, and I Wrought the tnani would
never rise to the surface. He came up
after a few minutes, however, and swam
oft .to a dllstianc of about ten feet. He
was treading waiter and brushing his
long hair back, when I saw a flash of
white In the waiter near him, emd the
next Instant he was pulled down. He
threw up his arms, but tittered no cry.
Fifteen seconds after the went down an
enoj-mous shark broke water with the
carpenter In his mouth. For full a min
ute the monster circled about on the
surface with his victim kicking and
struggling, and then he disappeared Into
the depths, to be seen no more. Several
of the men came sauntering forward In
response to my shouts, but nothing was
to be Been except a ripple inn the sur
face. On Ithe might of that fifteenth day
very queer thing happened. It was a clear
moonlight night, and alt midnight the
man on lookout, who was stationed for
form's sake on the bows, awoke from a
map to find a derelict close aboard. The
wihoCe creiw was routed out to talke aotlon
In case she drifted aboard of us, but
that did not happen. She approached
within a cable's leuigith and then came to
a standstill. It waa likely that she was
in sight from the masthead the afternoon
before, but no one had been sent aloft to
look around. She had come down on
us from the north, being caught In some
current, perhaps not over 200 feet wide,
We made her out to be a brig with both
masts and bowsprit gone, and after
showing a light and hailing her without
result, we knew that she was abandoned.
Next morning aha was a bit nearer us,
and after breakfast the gig was manned
and Captain Cross put aboard of her.
Two of us climbed over her bows with
him and helped him to rummage about.
The craft was named the Pole Star, and
hailed from Newborn, N. C. She was on
her way to a Mexican, port and had been
blown far to the westward of her course.
The last entry In her log referred to a
gale in which she had been dismasted and
was about to be abandoned, but that
entry was eight months old. For eight
months the brig had knocked about in
all sorts of weather, and waa still float
ing. She had about two feet of water in
her hold, but most of that had coma In
through her decks.
The cargo consisted of machinery and
furniture and was but little damaged. In
leaving her but very little had been taken
aalde from waiter and provisions, and
Captain Cross promised us a fair divide
If we would loot the derelict. All the
crew were wilting to turn to and we took
out of her a spare set of sails, two
anchors and chains, a capstan, three
portable engines, a lot of wood working
machinery, 200 mirrors, a great lot of fine
tools and other things, which I do not
recollect, though the whole was valued
alt $16,000 in Liverpool. Wo had her along
side of us for two days, and then towed
her half a mile away and scuttled her.
On the morning of the twentieth day
of tftve calim, beting a "spell" which only
three or four ships have ever encoun
tered, the second mats declared that
there mus be a dead irran dinging t
the ship's keel. It was an old supersti
tion, and one laughed to scorn, but on
thus occasion no one Indulged in rlefcule.
The men soon began to talk among hem
selveis, and wlfJMn an hour her captain
had given permission for a boat to be
lowered to make an investigation. The
mate and three men went In the boat,
and beginning on the port bow they
worked aft and around the ship. When
they were amidships on the starboard
aide, they began shouting and cheering,
and the announcement was made that
they had found the body.
Four or five feet below the water line,
the copper sheathing had been rolled up
by striking Sanverthllng In port, .and held
fast by the- sharp edges catching his
clothes was the dead body of a sailor.
As the sh-'p rolled he was brought Into
view end pulled away with a boathook.
We imrstt have picked him up as we lay
there, though tit was curious that a
corpse should be floating around there
among' the sharks, and more curious that
they had not pulled him away. There he
was, however, and though too badly de
composed for burial, we got a weight to
Ms feelt and' sent him to the bottom.
And did .that break the calm? The log
of ithe Tornado eaya that the breeze came
at noon, and she went flying down to the
Horn in her old style and reached port
wthout other adventure. Captain Cross
lost ills wager wtth. the Americans, but
his share of the salvage waa a much
larger sum, and there were many big
dollars left for his mates and men to
Jingle Jn their pockets.
A MOST MAGNIFICENT HEIRLOOM
Is health. No irero In tiara or coronet
1i so precious. Per contra, a hereditary
tendency to disease, often proves a fatal
legacy, since the most trifling cause may
fertilize the latent gems of ill health and
render the fruitage deadly. An inherent
transmitted weakness of the physical con
stitution Is mors effectually opposed and
counteracted by Host ewer's Stomach bit
ters than by any ether safeguard. Diges
tion and assimilation promoted, due
biliary secretion, action of the kidneys
and bowels Insured, are so many guaran
tees of permanent health, and these ara
the consequences, among others of Ilk
importance, of a resort to the bitters.
This medicine also prevents and remedies
malarial complaints, nervousness, chronic
Insomnia, rheumatism and neuralgia.
Such warnings as loss of appetite and
sleep, too, should not be disregarded.
The bkters win restore both without fail.

HOUSEHOLD CORRESPONDENCE.
Encourage the Children to Work
Teach Them to Be Kind.
and
In answer to the question given in the
Blade Household on the question of al
lowing children some fixed remuneration
for th lisslstance they give about the
home, we have this week a very excel
lent paper from one who has evidently
given much thought to the subject, and
we hope to hear from others; who cer
tainly must, as fathers end mothers,
I-ave a living interest in anything that
concerns the welfare of their children.
Are there good, logical retaoons why
children shall not be rewarded for work
honestly and faJthfuKy perf armed? It
there are such reasons, the opening of
tn1s Important qul.stlon wdli surely
bring them to the Burface, and the dis
cussion will certainly do much good, es
pecially to those who have given the sub
ject Utile or no thought. Alt present 1
can see only the pro side of it.
We children of a larger growth realize
how much the hope of compensation les
sens our burdens. We are greatly given
to the habit of complaining at fate when
she forces us (to toli week after week,
with no reward but food and clothing,
and knowing thia we ought to be all the
mora anxious to deal Justly wtth those
Httle men and women who have not yet
become inured to her crochety ways. It
Is our duty to make them feel that they
live because they are needed In the world
to perform certuliv duties, and that they
are to be rewarded according to their
faithfulness. The earlier they are to be
taught to bear the responsibilities of
life, the lesu heavily will disappointments
weigh them down as they advance In
years.
Timely and tactful encouragement will
keep their bright faces turned toward a
self-sudbalnlng maturity, and they will
have no Inclination, In after years, to
become strikers and traanps.
It may be argued that money la so
scarce In some families that It is not pos
sible to pay children wages. In Buch a
case you can enter Into a contract with
each child, agreeing to pay him wages
at etalbed .times. Furnish him with a
blank book and a pencil, and require him
to keep an account of his work and his
wages end teach htm to tiake care of his
book, as It represents money. If you can
not possibly give the money you can glva

A HOUSE OF BUTTONS.
It la said that Cluipptsson, the Frenah

composed entirely of buttons. The walls,
ceilings, doors, windows, in fact, the
whole interior as well as Ithe exterior Is
of this unique element of architecture,
set closely and ftrmty In the best cement.
Buttons of every kind and description,
from tltte very tiarllest date down to the
preser.it tlllme, lire being employed tn
finishing and decorating this wonderful
structure. A writer who seems to have
seen Clapplsson's "Biitton Palace" says
that the most curious forms of buttons
date from the time cf early Greece.
