"I was at the wheel, and well re- member the sentry calling out to the officer of the watch, 'Four bells, sir.' | The officer replied, 'Strike them, sen- | try,' which he did nbt do, for at that | very moment she struck the rock and i the sentry went rolling to the deck. | At the time most of the soldiers were | below asleep, but were awoke by the | { crash (which appeared to me to be | enough to wake the dead almost) and | came on deck; but on being called to | order, fell in and remained so, thus | enabling the seamen to get out what | boats were left. i "My instructions from the captain | were to man my boat and pull off | and await orders, which never came. | I heard after that he was struck by | a falling spar and killed. My boat's | srew and myself picked u Hrtywe | in all, and we pulled till day ight, | when we came across the second cut i ler and gig, and we sighted a sail in | the offing. The ship's doctor, who | was one of the saved, called for sea- | men to man the gig and pull toward | her. Eight of us volunteered, and | | we pulled out, but could not attract | her attention, so we decided not to venture any further. | "Fish Bay was our landing place, | | and fortunately for us the postmas- | | ter's daughters of Caledon had just finished bathing and were about to return home. They were very kind and provided us with some coffee and weed which was very acceptable After we had tramped to Caledon we were sent to Simon's Town, and then lo Algoa Bay, our naval station. We | were brought back to England on | the Amazon." Thomas Coffin was indeed a son of the sea, for he was actually born on | a battleship, H.M.8. Pitt, of whieh his father was shipkeeper. In the natural course of events he entered the navy, saw active service on the | coast of Syria, was with the Naval | Brigade in the Crimea, and fought in the China war of 1860. In 1871, | 83 a quartermaster he left the ser- vice of his country. FISH THAT GLOW. Some Deep Sea Creatures Able to Shed a Phosphorescent Light. ! The inhabitants of the ocean vary ! | in many respects, according to the depth at which they live, but most of all in their powers of vision. Fish that live at very great depths have either no eyes at all or enormously big ones. here are two methods of | getting about in the gloomiest abysses ~--by delicate organs of touch and | sight--that collects - the few rays of ! light due to phosphorescence or other accidental sources. | | The fish which live near the top of | the ocean have smaller eyes than | those say eighty fathoms down. One { hundred and twenty fathoms deeper, | | where daylight disappears, the eyes | | are bigger still. Beyond the depth of | { 200 fathoms small eyes prevail, with | { long feelers to supplement them i ! At this depth, in fact, sight is prac- { tically useless. In the greatest | abysses the fish are usually blind, reel- | | ing their way about solely by means | | of their sensitive bodies. Some, in- | | deed, show signs externally of having | once possessed eyes, but that is all. | In others--the oldest and most con. | firmed abysmal species--the eye has | disappeared altogether externally, | though traces of it are still to be re. | | cognized, embedded deeply in the | tissues of the head. | Many deep sea fish have a eurious | {system of hollows in the skull or | about the body which hold a kind of { phosphorescent slime. Others have | round or oval shining opalescent spots { Placed on the head or along the body or tail. i | All of them are abundantly supplied | with nerves, and they are apparently {organs for the production of phos- { phorescent light. If so, such a fish | must swim about surrounded by g | { faint glow, somewhat like that thrown by luminous paint. # | One selentist even suggests that | these fish May have the power of di- | recting their rays in any direction, like a searchlight. ! Courtship Was Hasty. A young laborer appeared befors the ilmallock (County Limerick) guardians at their last meeting, and expressed a desire to marry one of the women in the workhouse. He ax- plained that he had net a house, and that he did not want one yntil he had made sure of getting a wife. Fur ther, he informed the chairman that he did not eare whether he married a spinster or a widow with two or three enildren. The workhouse master, a guardian, and the suitor then left for the work. house to select the wife. A number of women were assembled in the hall, and after a few moments the young man made his choice.
