The long boat was uncovered, and ropes and harpoons were "stowed" in. "Laower away‘" shouted the captain. The ropes ran out the davits, and the boat descended. and was soon ridâ€" ing on the waves by the side of the great ship. The mate obayed quickly, and as his head appeared above the doorâ€"rail Capâ€" tain Blatchley ordered him to summon all hands on deck, which was quickly done. The ship was riding at anchor of Caylon, an island in the Indian Ocean. The day was excessively hot. and most of the sailors were "below," to escape the heat of the sun. The captain bimsel{ was in the cabin and Tom was master of the deck, seatâ€" ad on a coll of rope beneath a canvas awning, watching the natives sailing or paddling about, close in shore, in their canoes, «pearing fish. * Casting his eyes seaward, he saw what he aupposed to be a small sailâ€" boat, skimming over the water at a great speed. Suddenly it disappoared beneath the waves, and, to Tom‘s great asionishment, as quickiy reapâ€" peared on the surface of the water. Opening the speakingâ€"inube. he samâ€" moned his father on deck to explain the mystery. aad as he ascended the steps, Tom was again startled by a lowd commeotion inland, which sounded like a great number of persons singâ€" Ing "Ho! ho!" in chorus, which was in reatity the warning cry of the natives that a formidable and â€" destructive enemy wes in their midst, and Tom saw them burtying to dgaw their frail canoes high up on the beach. 5 Captain Blatchley, as soon as he apâ€" !¢ peared on deck, and caught a glimpse| !t of the strange hlack sail rising above * the water, knew what it was. £.

Havint® got into ruts of this sort it is far Ȏtter to keep; in thera than to try getting out. In undertaking to get out the turning of the front wheels tends to slow the car down tremendously as these wheels thus turned have a similar effect to putting on the brake.

It bent its huge body into a cresceni, and leaping high cut of the ed the cutter to be lowered away, which was done immediately; and the men bent to their work with a will, and were s0on in the vicinity of the wreck, picking up the men. Tom was discovered on the shouldâ€" es of one of the men, who was swimâ€" ming toward the boat. As soon as he saw his father, he shouted: The boat careened." throwirg the men iuto the water, one of whom canght Tom by the arm. just as he was d‘sappearing under the waves; and they all struck out to swim away from the now enraged tish, who was lashing the water into foam and crushing the hoat into fragiments.

And the boat seemed to fy over the sponse, The boat, under the steady, strong strokes of the experienced oarsmen, danced merrily over the waves; and Tom, who sat near the heimsman, tried to dip the water with his h:m?| But Tom pleaded so hbard that the captain consented; and Tom, nimbly descending the ladder, was caught in the strong outstretched arms of one of the sailors. man her had taken their places and were about to start out, Tom recoverâ€" ed his courage, and exclatmed: "Oh, dad! please let me go with the men." to bwmid up some sort of foundation on which to place the jack before it can be made to function. A piece of board or brick or something of the kind can usually be found in the car, by the road or at a nearby house to help in such an emergency. Still another method which has been found to work suecessfully at times when it comes to getting a car out of a hole consists of digging the mud or sand away from the front of the wheel, so that the road for a few feet whead will be on a level with the botâ€" tom of the hole. This may make it possible for the driver in proceeding: to get up enough spsed while on this level to carry him through to a better| road. | In case there are several people in the car it might be tactfully suggested | that they get outâ€"and push.

If he has been going along at twentyâ€"five or thirty miles an hour he ought to come down to fifteen miles an hour or less when he strikes a poor strip of highway, "Go slowly" is a safe motto, but a comparison slogan which is much more important is "Keep on going." This, is the most vital rule‘ for soft ground traveling. He who stops is apt to get stuck. * ‘ TRY BACKING UP. y For those motorists whether they, stopped or not, who are so unfortun-" ate as tobe stuck in the mud and un-I able to proceed the first thing to do} is to try backing up.
