I am sure that I made a very poor, slow job ot it, but the mate who was a splendid fellow never said anything. It was about six o'clock when we 1 had everything squared around.

Silently twe glided over the water. just a slight breeze filling our sails. As soon as we were told to turn in- we all made a dive for the forecastle door. The next thing was to draw lots. to see who would take the first] wheel and lookout. after doing thisl we had supper-more fish. cakes. bread and coffee. During the first two weeks nothing happened.

We were sorry, when they returned to the warship, As soon as their boat had been hoist.. ed clear, the ships exchanged salutes by the dipping _ensigns. Soon we were alone again. our friendly searele" fer being a mere smudge on the horizon. Nothing very exciting occurred for n week or s ; we sailed steadily on, busy painting. repairing and doing the routine work of the ship, favored by the north-east trade wind. which carried us toward the equator. While enioving the lovely weather While enjoying the lovely weather of the trade winds we amused our- selves fishing tor Bonitas from the iib-boom. The catching of these fish was a very simple matter, the onlv equipment needed being a hook and line with a piece of white cloth for bait. These fish were a very agree- able addition to our menu. Often we met schools of porpoise. which used to run right alongside of our bow and race with us. They seemed to enioy rushing ahead and returning to race again.

Twenty days out of post we struck u squall. It was about midnight when we were ordered to make' fast the "royals." I was sent aloft, with an A.B. to show me the ropes; to take in the tore-royal.. The ‘rain came down in torrents and the ship com- menced to plunge and roll. I was almost frghtened to death and hung on to the jack-stay most of the time while my mate an old hand at the game cooly worked his way out on the yard and proceeded to make the sail snug.

Uncle than haa built the Fordney Tariff directly against Canadian agriculture, and new additional Tariff gmposals are now under consideration to shut out from the United States Canadian goods 0 every kind. These measures are due to the insistence of the American farmer that the United States mar- ket shall be retained exclusively for him and that the influx of Canadian farm products into that country must cease. They are also due to a like insistence of United States manufactu- rers and workers, who have seen their country develop tremendously and grow rich under a Reactive Tariff, and who believe that a still further increase in Tariff is the only means of assuring continued prosperity.
