a few days before the vessel had discharged her newfoundland car go of cured codfish in drums than captain tuke received seven applica tions from his own forecastle for the vacant post the captain ignored them he was not the kind of man to be hurried toward any step by any agents of less importance than owners wind and tide what happened in the open roadstead off spaniards cove where he had anchored to ferr off a two months supply of water proved that he had done wisely in waiting the anchor became fouled in surg ing against it the crew had broken the windlass the capstan would not budge the cable mr funnel the mate began operations by talcing soundings he had ho more than found that the vessel rode in six fathom of water than word came for ward for all hands to lay aft and hear what the captain had to say to them lads said the captain since we left the rio ive received seven applica tions for the vacant berth of boson corney killigrew is the only man of the lot the only ab whos not asked for the job whats the trouble with ye oorney well sir replied corney awkward ly i dont be much o a hand at axln for things seems to me if a man wants to give me a berth hell do it without my axln t right exclaimed the captain and then he continued more quietly the man i want for boson is the best man out of the focastle an thats the man who can clear my anchor for me what shes foul of i dont know an i cant think but the man who gets her clear will have the berth of bosun for this voyage and for the next too if he wants it well all step forward mr funnel and between you an me well see that the trials are made fair an shipshape by a system of drawing scraps of paper from the males hat the order in which the men were to make their trials was established to the mind of a sailor no choice is fairer than the blind selection of chance bui walen was the fortunate possessor of the right to make the first attempt at the solving of the mystery with an expression of derringdo on his wide bewhlskered face he stripped to his canvas trousers made one end of a line fast about his waist put the other end into the hands of his mess mates with vague and husky direc tions as to when and how to haul him tn vmvmcvetumer tits viae ancr down the cable like an over grown monkey bills heart was heavy with in him for he was a poor swimmer and feared the water and the fish within it with a fear that tightened his cheat so that he could scarcely breath the majority of newfound land sailors are tipiess m the water all have been fishermen in their earli er days and there is a saying in the fishingharbors that in case of dis aster in those icy waters the quicker a man sinks the briefer the agony of mind and body five minutes after descending the cable bui went up it and over thevrall she be fouled in an old hulk o a wrack sir he said thatll do for you replied the cap tain you hadnt so much as the top of your head under water youd better go ashore in the islands an apply to a pastry cook the second man to go down the cable was tim kelley he did better than bill at one time he was all under entirely out of sight for at least two seconds he felt himself to be something of a hero as he stepped on deck but as he hadnt seen within thirty feet of the tower end of the cable and was a poor hand at in venting he had nothing to report and now it was corney kllllgrews turn unlike most newfoundlanders he could swim he had been taught when a small boy by an englishman who took a bath every morning and he had made a practice of going into the sea especially in the tropics whenever the chance offered he laid his left hand on the great chain and descended more slowly a thought of sharks came to his mind he stared round on every side trying to pierce the green and amber sha dows he wild see no living thing save a slender garfish poised motion less in the water and now his lungs were aching for fresh air recalling his courage and urging his lagging spirit with thought of the reward that awaited him if successful in the in vestigation he slipped deeper moving hand over hand down the cable now he came tp the great anchor hanging upright he drew himself down to it head first hard and fast across one of the flukes lay something long and shapeless with drapings of weedsothe thing that- looked like one of the very ribs of old earth a glance showed him that it slanted gradually awa at bothends toward the hidden bottom taut as a brace he snatched away a mass of the trailing weed and felt uv the gash wlh his hanct it was icon thai his fingers touched a great link of rusted iron the anchor of the bark was fouled in an old ships cable now bis lungs felt as if they would bursty with the pressure of the pentup breath he tried to pass the end of the une which he had brought down wih him under the weeddrap ed chain but he fumbled it and it slipped from his angers he- knew that he had not a second to waste tn trying to recover the line turn ing upright he planted his feet firmly on one of the flukes of the anchor and sprang straight upward he stroked frantically with bis arms and legs and though his brain told him that he was shooting upward to ward air and sunlight at a fine rate a fearful dread cried within him that be was hanging stationary in the water he redoubled his efforts he fought like a madman to escape to the surface from that hell of suffoca tion the brief seconds were like minutes minutes of desperate struggle and unutterable pain he felt a dull blow upon the top of his head a soothing shock went through him and a stupor as sweet and painless as sleep enfolded him corney killgrew opened his eyes fif teen minutes after he had been stunn ed by striking his head against the bot tom of trie lifeboat he found himself ey in a faint and bewildered voice e ye swallowed some o this here soup boson said the mate why dye name me boson sir whi spered the man in the bunk because that be yer rating aboard this here bark replied the other corney sat up sure enough he was not in the forecastle but in one of the berths off the outer cabin in the boat swains berth i remembers now he said slowly there was the old cable layin acrost the fluke an looking like the everlastin sea serpent 1 passed the enp o he unc under it i jlgered yed haul the old cable taut wid the line an then drop the anchor clear an thats just what we done said mr funnel at that moment captain tuke came to- the door of the berth veve got the grit boson said he it takes a spunky man to keep ftjs hold on a line when a twelvefoot shark is coming up behind him conelys scalp tiokeled at the menv uon of the shark but he forced a wan smile what wid fearo tlje fish and terror o yer rifle sir i was clean paralyzed me fingers was froze onto the rope simple creeds mrs h a cook of taber passes startena is much cheaper 350 and 395 per blj for sale by p g early phone 175 georgetown could a boat be lowered sir he asked the captain id do better if i could go in from a boat thats ther first word of sense ive heard today said the captain and trnmed lately gave orders for ing aiid- lowering theporu lif in i l away fr him five muiutey the boat was in trie water and close against the taut cable with corney and two others aboard corneyi had a falrsised coll of light line in the sternsheets of the boat he made one end fast took the other in his hand and dived overboard as cleanly as an otter his eyes were wide open and the vertical cable look ed like a black pole beside htm waver ing a little in the green cknm lying on the deck of the bark under the forward awning with the captain mr funnel and his shipmates bunched around him he patted the top of his head inquiringly with his fingertips and then sat up and smiled at the cap tain he did not have to asfc what had happened to him i found the trouble sir he said aye lad on your way up you found it replied the captain corney had no time to so much as smile at this attempt at pleasantry he had gone through far too much in search for that old cable to make light of the discovery she be fouled in a great ancient old cable sir he said what would a cable be doln here abouts returned the captain youd best lay still lad an not talk for while for you got a nasty rap on the top of your head corney sprang indignantly to his feet let me over the side again wid that same line in my hand again an ill pass it under that cable as sure as my name be corney killgrew he cried at that a member of the crew named john chant spoke up hes gone an took his try sir an now it be my turn he said an wid that lump on top sir he dont be in fit shape to go down again he added captain tuke turned a pair of chill ing eyes upon the speaker if we are foul of a cable he said tis no great matter who goes down an passes the line under it corney was under a trifle more than three minutes an a half twas long enough to find something an he says he found a cable if he wasnt telling the truth hed not have named anything so un likely as that so to my way of thinkin he has the right to go down again an prove hes an honest man as well as mighty slick diver what dye say mr funnel i says yes replied the mate again corney lowered himself into the lifeboat and went forward to the cable except for a slight dlxslness he felt no ill effects from the long stay under the water and the blow on the head again he took the end of the line in his hand and dived cleanly into the warm green sea now he lost no time in the descent but swam straight down to the imprisoned anchor passed the line under the weedhung cable that lay across the fluke and with the end of it in his left hand turned for the ascent he started up wards slowly sloping away from the bark so as not to run the risk again of striking the bottom of the lifeboat he had done everything so quickly that he felt no discomfort in his lungs corney came to the surface at a distance of about twelve yards from the bark and tsheboa4ciyeadingwter he shook the brine clear of his eyes and hair then he saw that the two men in the lifeboat were staring toward him past him with terror and dismay plain on their tanned faces looking- higher he saw the heads of the re mainder of the ships company above the port rail still as wooden posts their faces all fixed in his direction then he saw the captain spring- up right upon the rail with an old title in his hand that he had often noticed hanging in the outer cabin ybu best strike out corney cried the captain in a voice that shook it did not take corney more than a fifth of a second to guess what that meant without a word he made for the boat at his best pace every ounce of muscle and nerve in his body ur ging him along he swam with the racing stroke shooung one arm stra ight out and forward and then the other and rolling from side to side like a torpedoboat at full speed every stroke buried his face in the bubbling 0 water he fert a keen terrifying 0e- sjs sire to glance over his shoulder but common sense told him that looking would do no good he heard the thum ping report of the old snider rifle but still he surged onward he heard a splash beside him but a terrified glance showed hrm that it was nothing but a thwart that had been thrown from the boatln another second hands grasped him under the shoulders and he was jerked violently over the side of the boat in the instant of time that he huiig over the gunwale he tur- ned his head he caugnl a ileeunff vlslc funeral ceremonies for the late mrs cook wife of rev h a cook superannuated methodist minister and elder in the united church here for years were held at the united church on april 23rd many from rural areas as well as town were present in ai almost capacity audience church of ficials acted as ushers and a choir was in attendance mrs l d wright rendered a solo goodnight with mr wright at the organ the usual order of program in memorial services was changed and the service itself was simple by request the casket was placed below the pulpit beforo service hour came and no movement except late comers quietly ushered to seats interrupted the quiet scene be tween opening and close of service by request no flowers were brought except a few large wreaths on the caskets tokens from family and one or two intimate friends the attitude of members of the church was in harmony as a sort of family to which the deceased lady had belonged and the feeling was that a well spent life had simply passed on to another sphere and triumphant rest only a couple of months ago the late mrs cook had been active as usual in church auxiliaries and the church folk felt somehow she was still with them hyms such as forever with the lord and peace perfect peace fitted in well with the service atmosphere this feeling was emphasud in the briefer address than usual by rev irwin who said he would attempt no sermon or message and in closing the midservice prayer quoted longfellows words there is no death what seems so is transition in his conversation al talk to the audience he spoke ra ther of the evening of life bringing with it reward for past worthy acti vltles and of the difficult position of the parsonage mistress in caring for her household and being as well true helpmate to her companion in the christian ministry as she called to be no group probably felt more akin than the christian ministry and not only on behalf of himself and the con gregation but as chairman of leth- bridge presbytery he felt called on to express both deep sympathy with a bereaved brother and sense of worth in long service of both himself and helpmate following the service the audience took the opportunity of viewing the remains a brief farewell was taken by the mourning family while the throng waited outside martin bros

endurance proved to be more severe than the first it was close upon sunset when he was brought back to consciousness by the prodding of the mates forefinger against his ribs time you woke up and took some nourishment boson said mr funnel hit what be jq ayinir ml what is it that makes the other fel lows job attractive is it because he goes at it with such a display of plea sure that it looks like a soft snap anyone who looks with longing eyes at some other person happily com fortably and profitably employed will do well to make a critical study of the elements that enter into- the pos and the worker before being envious for envy quickly drives out happiness and usefulness a young man looked with en vy at a trim young dapper bank clerk and thought how wonder ful it would be to have a job that took from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon in a clean well lighted room suddenly had the chance to take up that kind of work why the bank even has an adding machine to prevent errors and all in terest is computed from a table al ready worked out he boasted to a friend i never dreamed that uncle james would give me a place in his bank my future success is assured why it is worth much my father says just to associate with success ful men the young man quickly found out that his fathers remark was correct he discovered that his uncle james was not only a successful man but he had the faculty of helping others not only worked hard himself but re quired that all in his employ do the same in bitterness of soul the youth complained to a friend who worked near him that relationship did not seem to count with a man who could make his own nephew go to night school to improve his english and penmanship and other studies and who made him remain after banking hours to help with whatever work was on hand even when he knew tbu the said nephew was an ardent base ball player in fact the young man had been forced to resign from the team or lose his position in the bank whereupon the other worker inform ed the nephew that relationship did count for if any other person had shown the spirit that the boy had and had made as many errors he would have been dismissed without mercy the young fellow who gave the sound advice and information was the very youth he had once thought of as hav ing a softand easy task there is no job worth having that has not its difficulties and responsi bilities and many of them perhaps everyone who has read the old story of the chance burdened mortals had to cast their troubles in a large heap and choose instead the burden that somebody else laid down in a short time each was back for the burden he had become accustomed to carrying and all went home better satisfied if it helps you any to know that some body is probably envying you your shoulders will square themselves and your head will go up you can as sume an air of contentment at least and get in line for promotion the best recommendation for a bigger job the air of doing the present work as if it absorbed your whole mind and thought that is indeed the result which comes to the worker who en- nqtdjd qj but does- his best in the hope of a bigger job and one with more hard work and responsibilities along in the future overflowing one job brings another bigger job not en vying the other fellow hilda rich mond make sore of your lb the revision of our
