At the end of a large pier in a large sea port, to which I had gone to get a .smell of the salt water, I found sitting on the string- piece a man whose dress and genera] ap pearance bespoke him an old tar. Inter ested in that class of men, having formerly been myself a sailor, and I fell into conver sation with him; when he related an ad venture which I will give as nearly as I can in his own quaint style and language. "1 was in an Kngli.sli transport, afore tin- mast. I've followed the sea nigh on to sixty years, man and hoy, hut, I never got higher nor that, for the reason 1 had no education. We’d a lot o' sodgers aboard, inki11' ’em to the West Ingees. An' a sicker lot 1 never see. There’s no braver men than British sodgers. They’ve showed that all the world over. But the idee of Yellow Jack and the land crabs give tiie.se chaps the horrors. ‘‘Tnere was women an' children among ’em. One o’the women was a beauty. If she was 25, she was no more; as trim a c ift as ev-. r floated, staunch, to >, and true to her colors. “She had a little one, a four-year-old-kid, the picture of her mammy. I've always loved little children. May be on account of never having any of my own. 1 never married. A man that's always knockin’ 'round the world, here to-day and gone U>- morrow's got no right to marry. But I'm runnin’ off my course. “Mrs. Dean—which was the beauty's name, sir—she and I got very friendly all alone o’ my takin to her little Molly. I’ve observed the shortest way to a woman’s favor is through her children. Her hubby wa’n’t a jealous man. Jealousy, they say, goes with strong love. Not that he did not love her. That wa’n’t much for him to b.iast on, hous’ever. Nobody could help doing that. But he was one o’ them chaps more for the men and spent pretty nigh all his time playin’ cards with his com rades. So it came that his wife and 1 had many long chats. When she found I’d been'in the West Ingees she got me to talk about the islands. She’d look so sorrowful and lovin’ at her little Mullie when she'd ask me about the yellow fever an’ if it was true the land oralis eat the dead sogers, you may ho sure I didnt stretch it to frighten her. I could tell the truth and say the country was well nigh on to a par adise, ’specially the wind’ard islands. “We was in the uor’east trade well - along. The vessel, with her staboard tacks aboard, had her stern sails on tow an’ aloft. The breeze was stifftlin’. She ; had it two points on her staboard quarter, j an’ was boltin’ off her eleven knots. The hooker could sail ’afore the wind. It was Sunday, so none o’the men was at work. Four hells in the arternoon watch had been struck. Well nigh all hands was in ' the forecastle; what was on the deck was sittin to leeward. Some o’ the sogers was there too, chattin'with ’em. The others' was below on the berth deck, which was ■ kept cool with a win’ sail. Two or three of the sogers’ officers was on the poop, 1 stretcheaon settees. One had a spyglass ; lookin’ to wind'ard. Tne chief mate had j the watch; but he was sittin’ galin' with the officers, lettin’ the ship take care of herself. Nobody was oil the lookout but ! me. The weather's that steady in the “trades’’ a vessel don’t need to start tack or sheet for days, unless to get home when it stretches. Nobody was on the weather side of the deck but Mis. Dean. She was stundin’ aloft the fore rigging' boldin’ on the rail with her legs over the side. It was a dangerous place fora little uu like her. But she was a venturous child, and that willful that her mammy had to let her have her own way. It seems nobody noticed 'em but me. I was settin' for’ard on the cathead, keeping an eye out for ’em. "A school o’ Ilyin’ ttsh started up to wind'ard. Them schools sometimes cover a mile o’the sea. This was a big un. Mrs Dean, watcliin’ the fish as they rose and dropped hack in the water when their wings begun to git dry, forgot herself: an’ the child playin' susaw with the ship as she rolled, got loos of her mammy an’ fell overboard. T see her go, an’ heard a scream—never any like it afore or since. Sailors laru to rig and strip in a hurry. ’Sides my shoes and hat I’d nothin’ on but a pair o’their duck trousers an' a loose frock. "i fit’ went shoes, hat and fris k quick as winking, and over I went after Molly. •The ship was low in the water, an't la- wind get tin’ under the child's pettieoats, she came down easy, so she was afloat when 1 reached her. She was that fright ened she couldn’t bawl. I took her on my arm, with her head over my shoulder, anil 1 with the other arm and my legs kept both our heads 'hove water. Tliere was a smart bit of sea on, but it was runnin’ reg’lar. "1 looked to see the ship brought,to. But she went tearin' ahead without a face look ing over the side. I waited and waited. If my hair had grown gray the while Twould not have wondered, it 'peared so long. >ly God!’ I cried, 'somethin’s happened the mammy so she can't speak to tell ’em. an’ they mayn’t miss us till we sink. Oh, the i fool I was .not to pass the word afore 1 Went over! The idee made my heart so heavy it nearly broke me down. “One o’ my shipmates told me arter'ards how it was. That scream, as I was sure it would, prought all hands around her. But she'd fainted dead away; ail’ the soger doctor had quite a spell at it afore he brought her to; and then she’d only breath to cry 'My child.' mv child!’ afore she went off again. 'Her child—where is it? Where’s Jack's head?' the captain asked, lookin' around. He know’ll I’d be there if I was in the ship, and not seein’ me he cried. 'They're both overboard. Down with the helm! Jump in the braces men. port hud starboard, and lower stun sail. Never mind the others, if the booms snap let ’em i go: round with the yards, lively. Clear i away the larboard quarter boat, some o’ you.' There was a rush for the poop. ‘Out knives, boys, an’ cut the gripes loose,' cried the chief mate, arslashin' at the can- i vas that havered the boat that keep the suu from splittin her. ‘Jump in six o’ you,’ 1 ne said, as soon as she swung clear, g’ettin' m.bnnselfr follow,d by the*Budj^r officer v* -th th, spy glass. -Davy tacklesalK-lcar?' 1 th* unitv ask-*!. ‘All ck-nr, sir.' ‘Lower a way thou, roundly.’ an' down she went into tlie water. It would have made any man s head swim. Jack, Vept a sailor’s, it 1 was ail done so quick, sutd my amputate when lie told me. •I set the ship brought to all stundin , hut I couldn't sec the boat, she was too low in the water an* the ship a mile away. I knowed she war a cornin’ though, and if over I strained my eyesight it was watchiu’ for her. All this time the child was a-wor- ryin' and arrowin' heavier. Sin.’ was a lump <>f a tiling. My arm around her be gun to stiffen. The* other seemed to be tangling into knots. A cold sweat came nut on my forehead. I grew sick an’ faint. J was just going down when the boat hove in view. “The sodger officer was standin’ in the starn-sheets. steadyin* himself with his knees against the mate, keepin’ me in the field o' the glass. The sight gave me fresh strength; and 1 raised the child above my head with both hands. The officer told the men. an’ they cheered to give me courage. 1 heard ’em, an’ I knowed they’d strain the ash. But oh, how slow the boat ’neared to. move! The officer could seel i was nearly done for; and he had another reason for urgin' the men to do their best. Tne fly in ’ fish was coinin’ down afore the wind with a fleet o' dolphins and barra cootas in the chase, an’ a swarm o’ sharks followin' on. Though the mate knowed by the wav they was runnin’ they’d pass me finite a piece away, sailors believe a shara can *ee a man a mile off. An’ sure enough, one o’ them left the chase an’ started for me. The officer see its back flu rise out o' the water in range 'tween me and the others. When I heard him and the mate keep on a-shoutin’ as loud as they could hollow 1 knowed what was coinin', and my heart began to thump again’ my ribs as if to breakaway through then rose in my throat an' choked me. A thousand bees ’peared to be buzzin in my ears. I grew sick again, and began to sink. I thought of the child and made a desperate struggle. Thai is the last J re member. What happened arter’ards was told me. “Tliere was a race atween the boat and the shark. That the boat reached me first is wlmt 1 needn't say. The shark was only twenty fathoms away when they pulled the child and me out o’ the water. The childs flesh was warm, and they could feel its heart beat. As for me. I was cold as a corpse, and my heart was still. “When they got me on board the ship toe doctor overhauled me and said I was dead a.s a herrin. But he Look me in hand. He said it was to try a new scheme he’d heard on for bringing the dead to life. Whatever it was, I was told he had a hard job of it, but he was that perseverin’ he stu b to it: and here I am you see.’’ “And the child?” I asked. “They had little trouble to bring her to. S’.e'- a grown woman, married now, and has a little shaver she calls Jack Head. Hr hubby’s a well-to-do merchant, and she has a snug harbor, where I’m at an chor. waitin’ to be taken into dock.” I congratulated him on the happy ter mination of the adventure, and when I had thanked him for telling it we ex changed good wishes and parted. A Girl 77 V« ur« Old. A case which is receiving much attention from the medical profession was reported yesterday to Coroner Mesaemer, In the death itself of M s Caroline Terboss there was nothing remarkable. She died of nephritis, and the coroner would n< t have been called upon to take .ognizan :e of the matter had u physician been present with n twenty-fours of the death. The peculiar circum stances of the case are wholly physical. Miss Terboas was 77 years of age. but soon after her eleventh birthday all development ceased, and to the hour of her death she remained, in form, stature and orgauixaiton a child. Caves of this kind have b#en recorded, though they are very few. None, however, have attained the age of Miss Torboos. death usually occurring before 21. Twenty-five years of age is the extreme limit. Miss Ter boas was only four feet four inches in hight. She was remarkably quick, intellectually, and enjpyed good health. The case will be re ported on in full in the medical journals. << Ladies Do yon want a pnre, bloom ing Complexion l If so, a few applications of Hasan’s MAGNOLIA HALM willgrat- ify you to your heart’s con tent.
