crow's neat, or lookout, on board
the New England whaler Yankee
Land, and we were bearing up for
Valpariso from the Juan Fernendoz
Islands when I caught sight of a
floating human body on the lee bow
!and half a mile away. We had only
f a light breeze and the sea was
jsearcely disturbed, and from my
Iperch aloft 1 could see even the
fish that played about ns.
I bad scarcely bailed the deck
when the floater raised hie head,
kicked bis feet under the snrface,
and after waving hie arra as a sig-
nal, he began swimming down to
us. The eight of a man out at sea
provided with nothing whatever to
float him, was queer enough, but
there was eomethmg more queer in
store for ue. 1 have seen the ne-
titvee of almost every country in the
water, but I never saw Anything hlso

moms down to ne, He just smoked
through the water like n yawl with
ber Sail set to a etiff breeze. All
the men mustered forward to got n
look at hire, and ae he came along•
eirle ho chocked his speed, took a
long survey of our craft and coolly
called out :
"What ship 1s that ?"
"The American whaler, Yanke
iband," anewered the mate,
"Want any hands ?"
"Yes, we'll ship you," replied the,captain.
"Very well sir—I'll come aboard."
They threw him a rope and he
Soon stood on deck, the ouly nn
concerned person on the ship. He
asked for a chow of tobacco, wrung
the water out of his clothes, and
when. the cook brought him some
pub be did not appear over hungry.
He refueed dry clothes Haying that
he felt better when damp, and when
he had finished Dating he explained:
"My name 16 Tom Finch. I quit
tlae English brig Saxon two days
ago. I oan ateer a boat or fasten
to a whale with the best of you.
Give me a lay and let me turn to."
"You quit the Saxon two days
ago V' queried the captain.
"Yes, sir."
"How did you quit ?"
"Said good eye to my watch and
jumped overboard, and have been
floating ever since,"
There wasn't a man in the ship
who believed bis story. Indeed,
what intelligent man would believe
it .2, And eat it was gospel. truth as
we discovered when we reachedYal-
periso. The Saxon was there and
half a dozen of her' Drew heti seen
her go overboard, se stated:
A man fish had come aboard of
us. There never was a mermaid
but he certainly was a merman.
He was next to amphibiono. He
was with tie for sisteeu months and
during that time was the wonder
of our crew and of every other,orew
we met. He was a stalwart, good-
looking chap of 85, but hie interior
may have been built on the flail
principle. He swam ae swiftly as
Boma kinds of fish, and that without
seeming to tire him. He could not
be drowned. and no shark would
bite bun. I said he was a queer
man. The reader probably agrees
with me. I give my word and hon-
or that every statement I make is
true, and eon bo proven true.
Our carpenter was laid 'up with a
broken leg and when Finch announ-
ced that be could use tools he be-

we left Valparaiso, no longer doubt-
ing the story of his two days' Boat,
he gave us a marvelous exhibition
