BLUE WATER A TALE OF THE DEEP SEA FISHERMEN BY FREZERICK WI LLIAM WALLACE. el) Copyright by the Mu How the Story Started. wFTank Westhive.,. known _ 83 Shorty," lives at Long Cove.cn Bay o Fundy coast with his mother a 8 'uncle, Captain Jerry Clerk: He d his chum Lemuel Ring, drink 8 ttle of rum, whereupon Frank's uncle tells him the story of his fath- er's fondness for drink and how: the Graco Westhaver" went down off Sable Island with ten of her crew. aud er skipper. This has the desired ef: fect upon Frank. He finishes schoo with credit to himse.t and spends the Summer as ar apprentice to "Lond Dick" Jennings. Tn August his uncle takes 1im on a fishing trip as spare hand aboard the Kastalia. While at anchor in Canso after the first fishing trip, Irank rescues a French boy fron ill-treatment by his fellow-sailors. The 'two boys try their hand at doty fishing "with success. A storm bursts with sudden fury. Frank's presence of mind saved the vessel from col lision with a steamer. They arrive home for Christmas. CHAPTER EIGHT, It was a bright, yet cold, January meraing, and Shorty and Jules were engaged rigging up trawl gear upon! the deck of the ono marketman Fannie B. Carson, then lying to anchor inside . Provincetown harbor. Jules,' tha ronaway. and the "Little Sabot" of the old Kastalia, could no longer be! wen "fied as the shrinking bro eyed Paimpol fisher-boy, for he tower- ed head and shoulders over his : dory-mate. He had grown and ybeh- | ed and broadened under the ly sson Book Company treatment and wholesome fare of the American fishermen, until .at nineteen years of age he stood six feet in his socks; broad and strong in proportion, and to all but Frank Westhaver he was known as "Big Frenchy." To Shorty he was always "Sabot," or Jules, and the friendship of their boy- hood days had cemented firmer with the years. Captain Tom Watson of the Carson was, in fishermen's parlance, "a of a feller," and a had driver wit! gangs, and it was only hard gangs! that sailed with him. Wharfside gos- ip had it that he'd have the dories out when gulls couidn't fly to windward, and with Watson a fisherman had to turn out dn the shout of "Get ready!" and prepare to make sets without ces- sation, day and night, until the wea- ther or the finished bait declared a stop. While the Carson was on the grounds sleep was not to be thought of, and crews were kept relentlessly at work until they almost dro; from sheer physical exhaustion. But it paid them in the long run when the share checks were distributed. The Fannie Carson was never long at sea, and her fresh-fishing trips were invariably "high-line," while the T. Dock fish- buyers in their estimates and sales al- ways counted on a trip from "Driver Tom," no matter what the state of the weather might be. . When the pair shi aboard the Carson in Boston a 'previous, the stout, saturnine Watson looked them over critically and said bluntly. "I'll ship yez, but let me tell yez somethin' afore we start. I'm a driver, first, last, lan' all th' time, 'Thar's no lay-offs on 1 sing out--you Yell k yer other, worki) qorny letters Ine "O--ah, yes.

He don't like me, an' I don't think he forgets 'bout th' scraps we useter have. ain't got nawthin' 'gainst him. He's a decent enough feller," For a space both busied themselves with their work, and with 5 and arms a-whirl they coiled fathom after fathom of the tarred cotton trawl down into the tubs. The crisp cold of the January air encouraged exer- tion, and the groups scattered around the deck blew on their numb fingers and cursed the idiosyncrasies of a skipper who forbade any man over. hauling his gear in the genial warmth of cabin or forecastle. The Carson's gang was an extra good one, as far as their hardiness, daring, and fishing abilities went, but otherwise thelr characters were aptly designated by the term "hard bitten." Rough New- foundlanders; Highland Scotch . from Arichat and Judique in Cape Breton-- great, sandy, raw-boned men who jab- bered in Gaelic and spoke English with a sibilant lisp delightful to hear; one or two Bosbon Irishmen ship- mates and fishermen, but pugnacious and quarrelsome with a skinful of rum; and the usual crowd of Nova Seotians from the southern part of the | | province, Good shipmates and fisher- men while at sea, but a crowd to avoid when the dollars were in their pockets and an Atlantic Avenue saloon under their lee. "W'at made Mees Dexter come to Boston for learn nursing?" queried Jules quietly. Jules had a queer way of pondering pver things and spring- ing unusual questions, 3 ~Frank-paused-in his trawl coiling. "What made her come t' Boston an' take up nursin'?" reiterated he in sur- prise. "Why--I don't rightly know. I callate she wanted to, an' sides that her mother hez married agen. Carrie hez bin livin' with an uncle an' aunt up to Lynn somewheres--they're purty well fixed--an' I s"pose twas them what wanted th' girl to take it up. Carrie's uncle is a manager up in one o th' mills, an' as he ain't got no children of his own he kinder takes t' th' girl. I er out 'twas them what put the idea into her head. Why ?" "Well--" Jules paused. "You goin' to marry that girl?" he asked sud- denly. i Shorty bluthed visibly under his tan. "Er--ah--*waal, I ain't prepared t' say," he stammered. "We hev a kinder understandin' between us, but I ain't given her a ring or nawthin'. She give me to understand that I'd hev t' git a vessel o' my own first afore I broached sich a question--but thar's plenty o' time for that. I ain't for hookin' up yet awhile."
