Says the World story: Potter and 13111 and his crew had Dulled and sailed into a gale 400 miles, Net up to the gate of Bermuda. Then slowly the weed pushed them back. Their blanke`t's and sheets, rig- ged up on oars and a harpoon haft for sails whipped futilely in the gale. They slipped back. They had been within a tulle of the reef, not more than eleven or twelve miles from Bermuda. Then, driven back away from life just as it seemed to in their bleed- ing hands, they saw the Volendam putting out of Bermuda in the twi- light. They watched her come to- ward them, then sheer off to the right. They groaned. Peter eacceetled in lighting a wet match: 'rho red flare sputtered in the fading light full of purple dimness. And all at once the Volendam sheered out of her ,course, stopped and then backed into the gale, gathering speed. And a little later, in the darkening light, the excited bankers leaned down over the High rail and watched the .small boat slide and reel into the slick which the liner made with her hull broadside to the wind. They saw ho cramped men, more dead than alive, creep up the, rope ladder slowly and drop on the deck exhausted, their bodies covered with boils from the slatting of the salt water for seven days, . For that in- stant the comfortable passenger's glimpsed the sea. "We left Philadelphia. October 10," said Potter, his face still drawn from tho strain, "We were for Martinique with a cargo of coal for Guadeloupe. Wo had 1,100 tons under our hatches.

When things got worse again and the wind howled hungrily all around them, Biil would shout still louder: "Fadden ain't ready for us yet!" The days that followed were lived through somehow by the forlorn little party. Most of nem had not the faith of the negro to uphold them,and it was hard to Sight off despair.

Though they were nine, .the ocean became lonelier and lonelier. Now and then a sea bird came over- head in the'wet murk with a ltannting cry. The only other life they' saw was a dolphin.

From be- ginning to end, please," The Legend,:f the Golden Head The death of Hannibal Toscl, on his estate of San Marzello, near Mantua, recalls a strange story, of how itis great wealth was acquired. At the beginning of the last century, accord- ing to this legend, there was erected on the Naples highway near the Ab- bey of San Vito a stone column bear- ing in French this inscription: "On the 1st of Niay in every year, at G o'clock in the morning, I have a gold- en head." On the next 1st of May. many people gathered to see the rale - stele. Nothing happened: Tee column remained uneltangeri. For years tilers• after at the npplfnted time curiosity t,rk,ty pocked thither, only to be dis- pn•,inted; until at. Last it was cop. Clem:, that the inscriptionmust have sear hidde,i meaning. Surmises and ' t,ircuiatiotte as to what it might be, however, were alt le rain. In the year 11741, however, a Naples boy wandered along the highway, t ame to the c•011mtn and suddenly telt that he had divined the secret, He said nothing. but on the next May Day at 6 o'clock in the morning he was on the spot—along, since people had long ceased to take any interest in the column.. But he noted the exact spot where the head of the column east its shadow and there dug into the ground. Not far below the: surface he eame on a knapsack con- taining 80,000 'francs n gold. The boy's name was Hannibal Toed.
