The Huron Expositor, 1892-04-22, Page 6THE HURON EXPOSITOR. Ask APRIL 22, 1892. FROM THE DEPTHS. W. ntiomrsos, IN YOUTH'S COMPANION. A few years ago the sailing ship Theseus, -Captain Bligh, left San Francisco, with two hundred and eighty passengers, bound for :Sydney, Australia. Among this crowd of fortune -seekers were representatives of many nationalities and of almost every calling. Most of them however, were young men without stated professions or trades. Of this class Was a bright -faced youth of eighteen, named Jerry Douglas, a native of New York. City. For several years Jerry had been the most active, successful and best known newsboy on Broadway. Quite recently he had emigrated to the Pacific slope, and was now seeking further adven- tures in a voyage to the Antipodes. Jerry could ling, dance, play the banjo, tell stories and talk politics by the hour, swim like a fish, go aloft as easily, handle every rope on the ship as well, and name them 1I as correctly as any sailor on board. We had not been at sea a week before he became a prime favorite with every member of the little floatiog community—except 0110 Man. This Was an Italian jeweler, or peddler, who during his long sojourn in the United States, bad anglicised his real name, Luigi Ferrate, into the handier one of "Lon Fer- ric"... kis was now taking ant with him a considerable stock of good American watches and cheap French trinkets, in the hope of finding a profitable market in one or another of the Australasian colonies; and, for some unextbsined reason, he seemed actually to hate Jerry, and lost no opportunity of an- noying him by every kind of spiteful trick he could think of. The boy, though several times a metch for the Italian, showed no disposition to re- taliate upon him. One day the Italian went too far. Jerry was *hewing a photograph of bis mother to a companion'when Ferris, peeping over his shoulder, maele an insulting remark. The next moment the • insulted boy, striking straight out from the shoulder, felled him to the deck. Every one who saw the affsir thought the blow well deserved. But Ferris got up vowing deadly vengeance, and several of the passengers cautioned Jerry to keep a close eye on him in future. Next day the ship was bowling along at the rate of nine knots an hour, with the wind on the sterbosrd quarter, when Ferrie, in attempting to seat himself on the lee taf- frail, missed his clutch at the shrouds. He fell backwards into the sea, and in the twinkling of an eye we swept far astern. One despairing scream, and then the little atom of humanity, rising after the first plunge, lay helplessly struggling on the sur- face of the ocean. The terrible cry, "A man overboard! A man overboard ! rang out. The helm was jemmed hard up, top- sails set aback, and the vessel came slowly round into the wind. The first mate and his crew were using every exertion to clear one of the boats; but all of these, instead of being hung upon the davits, were unfor- tunately at this time lashed amidships, As the ship's bowsprit now pointed direct into the wind's eye, the drowning man was, of course, no longer astern, but off the star- board bow, and fully a quarter of a mile dis- tant. Several life buoys had been thrown out, but the poor creature could not reach, even if he SEM them; and we could see, from his motions as he rose and fell with the light waves, that he could not swim, and wile aastained only by the extreme density of the salt water. It was only too evident that he must per- ish long before the boat, not yet over the side, could reach him. The passengers were greatly excited; and while some strove frantically to assist in the launch, others climbed the rigging in order the better to keep Ferris in sight. No sooner had the foremost one of these ascended ten or twelve feet above the deck than he shouted: " Hello ! there'll another man overboard ! Well, well, if it isn't Jerry Douglas!" Sure enough, there was Jerry swimming like a sea -bird, and already half -way to the rescue. He held between his teeth the loose tapes of an untied cork -belt, which floated out at full length behind him. At this sight passengers and crew broke out into a wild storm ef cheers, and the boy, as if inspired by the sound, seemed to redouble his speed. While the ship was coming round in stays he had slipped quietly out of the cabin win- dow, and in the confusion which prevailed had not been noticed. By the time the small boat was fairly afloat, the brave swimmer had reached his whilom enemy, islet as the latter threw up his arms in despair. A second more would heve been too late; but now, with cool pre- cision, Jerry fastened the life -preserver aroundthe waist of the exhausted man and, himself treading under water, lightly sup- ported him by holding one hand under his chin. In five minutes both were taken into the yawl, and safely returned to the ship amidst the acclamations of the crowd. All that evening the Italian remained se- cluded in his etateroom, engaged in some mysterious work; but next morning he ap- peared on deck and aeked Captain Bligh to call the passengers together, with such of the crew as were off duty at the time. When all were assembled, the rescued mars walked over to Jerry and with stream- ing eyes asked forgiveness for his former conduct, thanked him in earnest words, and begged his acceptance of a costly gold watch on the dome of which he had engraved these words: "From Lou Ferris to Jerry Douglas, as a slight token of gratitude for a life pre- served." Again every one on board cheered lustily, and pressed forward to shake hands with the two, who from henceforth were fast friends. After Ulla little episode, complete har- mony reigned among the pessengers. Our vessel made good headway, and each suc- ceeding twenty-four hours brought us from two to three hundred miles nearer our des- tination. Jerry, after all, being a very human boy, took great pride in his well-earned watch, and always carried it, suspended from a ribbon, in an inside breast pocket, especially" made for the purpose, of his serge blouse. So far we had experienced most favorable weather. We had made rapid progress and u ust lower" A Mr. Lorenzo F. Sleeper is very well known to the citizens of Apple- ton, Me., and. neighborhood. He says: "Eight years ago I was taken "sick, and suffered as no one but a "dyspeptic can. I then began tak- " ing August Flower. At that time I was a great sufferer. Every - "thing I ate distressed me so that I "had to throw it up. Then in a "few moment i that horrid distress "would come on and I would have "to eat and suffer • •again. Itook a "little of your med- " icine, and felt much "better, and after "taking a little more "August Flower my "Dyspepsia disap- " peared, and since that time I "have never had the first sign of it.

I wish all "that are afflicted with that terrible "disease or the troubles caused by "it would try August Flower, as I am satisfied there is no medicine equal to it." • For that Horrid Stomach Foaling. warks, abreast of the foremast; and when the top hamper fell overboard and that sud- den lurch came, a swinging rope eomehow caught me and the next thing I knew I was under water, "1 rose all orear in half a minute, and I shouted out es loud as I could; but I sup- pose you couldn't have heard a cannon -shot_ just then; and the wind swept me along like a chip. "The first thing I did was to pull off my blouse ; and then I swam straight away down the wind, for I knew that no living thing could face it and get anywhere near the ship again. I didn't feel so very much soared; and I made up_my mind to keep afloat until daylight anyway. Of course you all knew that I could have kept up in that warm weather until I starved to death. "1 felt kind of lonesome as I was driven away from our ship, and I couldn't help thinking that the Pacific Ocean was rather too big a swimming place for me "1 thought a good deal about my ;pother, too, and how she'd get along if I never came back; and just then all of a sudden I re- membered about seeing the steamer, and I knew that if she didn't go down, she'd lay to so as to meet the squall, bows on. "You'll all recollect that the first of the wind best the sea fiat down and so I found no waves to speak of; and what with my own fast swimming and the hurricane blow- ing behind me, I scooted along like a race horse. In less then ten minutes I saw the steamer straight ahead and not far off. "1 bore right down on ber, yelling like a good fellow all the time, and as she didn't have SO many blocks • and ropes to make a noise, the wind carried my voice so it was heard. When I came under her bow half a dozen ropes were ready to catch, and I scrambled on board as easy as rolling off a log ! "1 told the captain all about our ship,and he said she'd come out all right; and as his steamer was going straight on to Sydney, I'd get there before any of you, and give you all a kind of little surprise. "When the worst of the squall was over the steamer went away on her course, and I never caught sight of the Theseus again until you came into port this morning. I've been here three days, expecting you every minute, and I tell you I was mighty glad when I saw you hoist the old flag! I can get my clothes and things ell right now, but I'm awful sorry about that watch." Captain Bligh made a quick signal to the absorbed listeners as Jerry concluded his narrative; and stepping into his own cabin for a moment, came back with a broad smile on his face. I suppose since the world was created there was never seen a more surprised and delighted boy than was Jerry whet, that timepiece, so strangely recovered,was placed in his hand. Pipe -Clay and Brass. A hundred years ago the' British soldier was a hard -worked man. No matter how severe the marching on long campaigns, or the incessant drills in ,time of peace, several hourslof each day were required to keep his uniform in order. There were large decorations in it of braes which must be polished until they shone like gold, and others which must be pipe- clayed until they were white as snow. His huge boots weighed him down as he walked. It never occurred to his commanders that this burden of costume could be made less heavy. It had descended to him from Eng- lishmen who had carried it through many a well -fought field, and in the eyes of all loyal .Britons, useless and cumbrous as it was, it was sacred. The discipline of the army was severe. He might march waist -deep through mud or blood all day long, but he must appear on parade to -morrow, pipe-clayed and polished to perfection. In the beginning of this century Sir Arthur Wellesley took command of the British army in India. The heat was intense, the men were exhausted by long marches and hard fighting. His first order chauged the big boots for low, light shoes, and his second swept away all pipe -clay and brass -except in the belt. Military men in England were disturbed at this attack on precedent, but it made every man in the army the friend of Arthur Wellesley-. None of his brilliant victories perhaps did more to endear him to his troops than this resolute, timely exercise of common sense on their behalf. The folly of weighing down, with heavy finery or melees work, men who have to march or fight is apparent enough, but do none of us carry pipe -clay and brass on our long march in life? Here is the wife of a poor man with a large family. She works hard all day, yet stoops over the sewing machine until mid- night, to make useless finery for her daughters. There is a clerk on a salary which barely gives him the necessaries of life. He goes without proper food to wear a fashionable ooat, and to drive out to the park on Sun- day. There are innumerable poor girls whose efforts at fashionable display are wearing out the lives of their old gray -headed fathers. It is worth while to ask, "What pipe- clay and gilt do I carry? What does it cost me in labor, self-respect and lifes?"-Com- panion. All who were on deck were holding on for - dear life, when suddenly a great cry arose among the passengers, and the startling in- quiry passed from one lip to another, "Where is Jerry Douglas ?" Where, indeed! Brave men shuddered as they asked the question, but none could answer. A general alarm was given, and the ship thoroughly searched from stem to stern, be- low and aloft; but the boy could not be found. It became clear to all that he had fallen or been swept overboerd during the storm. Any attempt at rezcue was, of course, out of the question, and from the captain down to the cabin -boy all expressed the deepest sorrow at this tragic ending of s promising young life. As for the Italian, Ferris, he openly sobbed like' a child, in the extremity of hie grief. During the whole forenoon of the next day not a breath of wind stirred, and the ship lay like -a log upon the waters, while the sailors were busy -repairing damages, The surface of the sea, although ever rising and falling in long, gentle swells, was yet smooth as glass; and the pas,engers, impa- tient of the delay, and longing for some dis- traction, asked the captain's permission to capture one of the sharke, several of which were at the time showing their cruel -looking knife-like tack fins close to the vessel. Leave was granted, and a large hook, at- tached to a abort chain, bent on a long line, was baited with a piece of fat pork and thrown overboard right before the nearest monster. The creature, half turning oa his side, instantly seized it. A ttrong, sharp jerk drove the hook into his jaw. One of the crew struck a harpoon deep into his back. A running bowline, on one end of a strong rope was dropped around both the harpoon and bait lines, and so over the head of the fish, and the prize was hoist- ed on board. It proved to be a fourteen -foot specimen of the great white or man-eating shark, common to these latitudes. Although, very strangely, it had made hardly spy resistance during its capture, no sooner had it touched the deck than it began to lash about in a frightful manner. No one dared approach it until an old whaleman deftly chopped off a foot or two of its tail, when it lay perfect- ly still. The carcass was then handed over to the tender mercies of the sailors, and in ten minutes they had cut off the cruel jaws, rip- ped open the belly, and brought forth the huge mass for inspection. One of the men stooped over this with his knife, but recoiled in horror at the first gash. The keen blade had struck into some woolen substance, and the shuddering spectators SAW Jerry's berg° blouse drawn from the aperture; and still securely but- toned in its pocket, hie presentation watch! More than one strong man was moved to tears at this pathetic sight, and murmurs of "Poor boy, pore boy !' were heard on all sides. Lou Ferris fell almost fainting to the deck. However, on further examination it was found that the shark's stomach contained nothing more of a suspicious nature; and it was thus made clear that Jerry had not fallen into the jars of this particular fish, though it seemed all but, certain that he must have been torn to pieces by one or more of its ravenous companions. So experienced a swimmer as was Jerry had doubtless, on striking the water, in- stantly divested himself of the loose blouae;_ and this had floated aufficiently long to be seized by tbe first fish that saw it. It was barely possible that Jerry's own body had finally sunk to the depths, unper- ceived by any of the hideous monsters—even supposiug that such were in the vicinity when he fell overboard. Whatever might have been the boy's fate, he was irretrievably lost; and the most san- guine could only hope that he had escaped mutilation. The precious watch, after having been taken to pieces, and carefelly cleaned by its former owner, was placed in Captain Bligh's hands to be given to Jerry's widowed moth- er when the Theseus should return to San Francisco. No further incidents worthy of special note occurred during our voyage, which occupied in all sixty-eight days; and on a beautiful September morning we dropped .anchor in the roadstead off Sydney, to await ea visit from the health officer of the port. That functionary shortly made his appear- ance, and after a few formalitiee, gave un a clean bill. The captain was just in the act of seeing were now within the Southern Ocean.
