R. 3. DUNISMIORE TELLS OF iHIS ST1RAINGEST XMAS By R. J. Dunsmore, St. Thomas, Ont., ,(formerly of Seaforth), in Mac- lean's Magazine.) On the morning of the day before Christmas; '118911, my partner, Ben Cartwright, and I lad embarked at Ruatan, Spanish Honduras, Central America, on a tubby Carib dory car- rying one sail and a jib, to cross the eighty -odd miles of the .'Caribbean Sea. Our destination was the mouth of the Sangrelaya River, on the Mos- quito Coast, a region at that time as undeveloped and sparsely inhabited as it was when Columbus landed at Cape Gracias A Dios, not so' many miles distant. The crew of the dory' consisted of two Caribs who spoke mongrel Span- ish and but a few words of English. With the few words of Spanish spok en by myself, we 'had negotiated our passage, paying therefor five ,pounds ,of fat salt pork—an incredible luxury to natives of a region where even the wild game was lean. My partner and I were the only ones aboard who thought 'of it (being Christmas Eve, and we made grim jokes as we hung our wet stockings up in 'the rigging to dry. Soon we were all, with the exception of the pian at the 'helm, stretched out asleep on the deck in the perfumed tropical air. Toward morning one of the dreaded "northers," the ourse of the cocoanut and banana groves along the Mosquito Coast, had sprung up, The gale swept across the expanse of water, piling high in great curling waves, among which the. clumsy ma- hogany dory .rolled and plunged at an alarming rate. The mainsail was hurriedly hauled down, and even the jib considerably reefed. All through the night the storm raged. The stockings in the rigging were whisked. away .at a. speed even Santa's reindeer could not have over- taken. Daylight found the gale subsiding, but the sea was still angry and 'boist- erous, We had not been 'blown off our course, and when daylight came we were in sight of 'the coast and heading straight for the mouth of the Sangrelava River. But, as at the mouths of the 'Pat- aca, the Tokomatchie and other Hon- duras rivers, the entrance to the San- grelaya was (barred by wide sand bars, As we swept toward the usual channel at the mouth, we found the norther had done things to it. If there was still 4 channel, it had mov- Counter Check Books We Are Selling Quality Books Books are Well Made, Carbon is Clean and Copies Readily. All styles, Carbon Leaf and Black Back.

He drove straight ahead and plunged headlong into a solid sand bar, almost burying the dory and (bringing us up short with a jar that would have sent me through the windshield if the dory had had one. As it was, the dory was driven clean under water, emlbedded firmly in the sand, the deck awash, and only the solitary mast and rigging swaying above the water. Naturally, we took to the rigging. There was nowhere else to take to. Not more than forty rods away was the shore, with swaying palms along the shore line, backed by dense jungle. It might as well have been forty miles away for all the good it did us. There we were, dangling from the rigging, with no way to get ashore. "Merry Christmas," I called to my partner. "How's this for a Christmas tree?" He didn't reply- He was gazing at the water, and measuring with his eye the distance to the shore. "I used to be 'a good swimmer," he remarked. "I think I could make it to the shore." Just then one of the Caribs pointed to a sharp fin that was steadily circl- ing the boat. Lying over to one side, the shark gazed up speculatively at prospective dinners dangling a few feet above its bead: "Malo?" I asked him. "Malo," he said with a shudder. "Muy mala" .('Very 'bad.)! All that Christmas Day, ravenously hungry and unable to think of any- thing else but the roast goose and plum pudding that my friends and relatives were wading into in ;goad old Huron County, Ontario, we dan- gled there watching the sharks in in - ,creasing numbers coming to gloat up at us. In the afternoon a couple of native Caribs came along the jungle trail near the ]beach, and a lot of jagged language nvas howled back and forth between them and the ,two Caribs on the boat, • The result was that, after a tedious wait while two natives went along the beach, a native small dory came paddling alongside and took two of vs at a time, making two trips. Our Christmas feast was not roast goose and plum pudding, but boiled yams, fried green 'bananas, and stew- ed 'white-faced monkey—just like fricasseed chicken, if you didn't know. Money To Burn— George James, caretaker at the Court House, got the shock of his life yesterday, while emptying waste- baskets into the furnace, when the burning scraps illuminated what look- ed to him like a $5 .bill. He reached in and grabbed, and no sooner iden- tified the paper maney than he saw more, and more, in flames. He reach- ed in again recklessly and without re- gard ,for singeing hair and burned hands, and retrieved a $1 bill 'intact and two more partially 'burned, but with serial numbers showing, and he even picked up eleven cents in change before .giving up the search ,because of the mounting heat and .flames. George's problem now is to locate the absent-nainedd owner of the mon- ey from among the occupants of the ten offices at the Court House.—God- erich Signal -Star.
