General Observations When firing it offone ds:y.it burst, and /terribly mutilated his right hand. Of course he had to stay below for the rest Of the voyage. There was no doctor on the ship, but the captain's wife was on board, and she nursed him to the best of her ability. The command now devolved on the capa- ble first mate, The ship was headed for Halifax, where the captain was left to receive surgical aid, and then resumed her course for New York, Another sad episode of the voyage. was the death of one of the emigrant children. A sack of sail cloth was made, into which the little body was put with a cannon ball to sink It. As many as could, gathered on deck, the ship was hove to, and an officer read the Church of England burial service, and then a couple of jack tars lifted it over the bulwarks and lowered it gently into the sea. The grief of the poor mother, who couid not speak 'a word of English, was indescribable. Well, after five weeks of tossing and tacking about, the port of New York was reached, and thus ended this not uneventful voyage. The pas- sengers were glad to leave the cramp- ed, 'uncomfortable -quarters, and the poor food of the ship, and to set foot once more on solid ground, albeit in a strange country. Our poor descrip- tion of this voyage will give some idea of what it was to cross the ocean in the days of the pioneers of Canada, to whom we referred last week. . Mr, Hicks is proving quite: a con- ,undrum 'to many, people. They ask why did he make all this fuss, just before an election? Why.did he not hold all that quietly until ,his party was elected? The answer would ap- pear to, be that Mr, 'Hicks was try- ing to throw the Jonah overboard be- fore the ship sank. Apparently Mr. Drury is still a Liberal at heart and has found it as hard to change his politics as for a leopard to ehange his spots. He had no hope of his party winning at the next election after the extravagant way they had spent mon- ey and raised the taxes. Like the Man spoken of in' the Bible, he would snake friends for himself, who would take him in, when his master said he might no Longer be steward: What then, is more natural for him than to turn to his old party. He would take a large number of Liberal U.F.O. members with him. Mr, Hicks is an- xious to get the nomination of the U.F.O. in South Huron. He saw his chance and took it. a* a Mr, Drury and Mr. Hicks in 1923 have made as big a commotion as Premier Ross, Stratton and Gamey made twenty years ago. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS iT By W. H. T. Sometime about the year 1850, the good Osceola sailed down the Mer- sey from Liverpool out into the Irish sea. "Osceola" was the name of the chief of the Seminole Indian tribe. The Osceola was a ship in the techni- cal sense of the term 'as distinguished -from a sloop, a schooner or a brig, that is to say, she had three masts sand was square rigged, and was of about 1,200 tons burden. Her port of registration was St, John's, New- foundland. Her captain, Mr. Thomas, was a refined, delicate little man, no doubt a thorough sailor, but he look- ed as if he would be more in place in a bank than on the quarter deck of a large ship. The first mate was also a thorough sailor, and looked the part. He was a big lusty man, with a stentorian voice, and when he shouted an order, be could be heard from the mizzen spanker to the flying jib, no matter how fiercely the gale whistled through the rigging. She had a crew of able then, much accustomed to "go- ing down to the sea in ships." There were a few passengers on board, consisting of adventurous men and women, with their children, who were leaving the old world to try their fortunes . in the now. Among these were a young Englishman and his wife, and their two children—a girl of about four and a boy one year and a few months old. The Osceola moved down the river as gracefully as a swan with every inch of her vast spread of snowy can- vas set to catch the favoring breeze. "With mast and helm and pennon fair," she presented a magnificent spectacle. Indeed, there are some who think that the gigantic liners of the present, with alt their palatial splen- dor, do not equal in picturesqueness those fine sailing ships of the olden days. But soon the Irish sea was reached, and as night came on the wind increased to such a degree that it became necessary to shorten sail; accordingly the order was given to reef £opsails and in a trice the sailors were swarming tip tk•c,,.r.,ens, and. laying out on the yards to'''e the order. Unfortunately, one of the outermost men on one of the yards missed his footing, and dropped into the sea. The sails were at once back- ed and a boat with two men in it was lowered to rescue the perishing man. The, sea was very rough, the night was as dark as pitch and from the time the boat was cast off, not a Sound. from it was heard. The re- peated calls from the ship were un- answered, It was not safe to lie to in such a gale, and so fearing the Ehree men had found a watery grave, with great reluctance, the ship was put upon the course. Weeks after the Osceola arrived at New York, word carne that the three men in the Irish sea were picked up alive and well. The loss of three then left,the crew .tea weak towork the ship. rt was ,accessary, therefore, to put into the nearest port, which was Dundrum hay on the Irish coast, to ship some melt fishermen were all that could be get, bat they did very well. Once ebota the ;ship set, sail, and soon she tyasout ofthe Irish sea, and making trier slow and toilsome way across the GASTO R IA For Infants and Children In Use F'or Over 3O Years Always bears _-- the �.— Signature of ti y LONDESBORO.
