I'ventured to defend my own as a S kable specimen of its kind, for w things are more exasperating to have one's toothache depre But Mr. Hobday told me the story, which I know to be in the main, and I was obliged idmit that I had never possessed so disastrous an ache. He said: The toothache took me when I was the Pacific coast in one of those cities where nthing was done the great work of "booming wr.

Soon 'ght grew dim, and I felt very and dizzy. I awoke in intense gasping for breath- n a sendeavy suforain breath-n oulan hevyair.

Then I noticed that I wa~s lying ina ~Poof water that swashed from side tsitde. This seemed to negative the .thoyI had begun to form-that I ~bdbeen buried alive. SI heard tramping over me and called out with all my might. My oice sounded hollow and strange. tfrightened me. I yelled again and again, when a eqaeof light, shone above me and T- oice called: -Who be you and what a-hollerin fat Hold yjr noise an come out." I1 raised my head, struck it again ~t1flopped back. "I'll heip' ye then !" shouted my ~new acquaintance savagely.. He E)ame 'down through the square of light, seized me and hustled me roughly up to the open air. I was othe deck of a large schooner un Six or eight men lounging about ~looked at me withsome amusement. ~t the captain shqwed every sign r;esurprise and anger. S"What 'r' you a-doin of down into Smy hold?" he yelled. "Whad'ye'r mean by comin aboard this vessel? ~You come to steal an fell down in yer t racks, ~eh? Served yer right !"

After more abuse 1 Sas informed that I should work my paessage and work hard, too, or-here followed a number of threats, of -wich faying alive and subsequent picking' was perhaps the least unat tract. I was then ordered to move some - oxes and sacks. But this proving "too much for my strength I was al lowed to rest. One of the sailors came over and-looked at me as I lay Spropped against a sack. "Wl, lad, how d'ye like it?" he: kindly enough. ere are we bound and what -"How didlc ome aboard?" " In a bag," said the man, and Slaughed a little. "What do you mean ?" S"Now don't say nothin to the cap'n about it or let on as you know~ or as I told you." g~ I promised at len~rh "Well, then, about 10 last night 1 come a boat alongside. 'Hello, Dav- is ison!' says the cap'n: 'That you?' im "'Tha's me !' says the man in the vj boat. "Got a chicken?' says the cap'n.

The den- e( tist had drugged me, -carried me to 0 the schooner and sold me for the a] voyage. The practice called "Shang- b hai-ing" waa not at all uncommon on is the western coast in those -years. Five to ten dollars a man was the IY usual commission, but captains. h, whose crews were very shorthanded g( and could not get men to sign, often h, paid much more. ti "What had I better do?" I asked. tI "Well, boy, they ain't no great 03 choice. You kin jump overboard or. you kin stay aboard. Overboard is terrible cold water and cramps,-mot T likely, and blackfh. Aboard there's ho cap'n an hard work an mebbe pay an a mebbe not-cap'ns make their own 1N terms with Shanghais. Y' see cap'n will kind o' keep up the idea that you. come aboard to steal. Not as he e think any one believes it, but. jest fi for form's sake like." I thought the matter over. A sealA .s ing cruise to Alaska was. not a t charming prospect, especially with a bI brutal captain, who would probably Y( leave me in Alaska after getting the w utmost service out of me at the seal. c2 fisheries.. On the other hand, the water .is S bitter cold in the straits of San Juan de Fuca and my chances of reaching shore alive would be very small. 01 Not that there was any danger from I the blackfish alluded to, they are the meekest of creatures. - But for the toothache, which had b survived my adventures and had ' gained strength through adversity, I should hardly have taken the step I ni took that night. But the pain made .P me 'desperate and reckless. So I SC found a life preserver and in the st pitch dark night swung a rope over h the rail and let myself down into'the water. - - Nobody noticed, thQugh I feared the flashesof phosphorescence, where the water broke, would draw atten- a tion. But the schooner sped "along, s leaving a gleaming wake. 0 as I was alone in- the darkness, miles ; from shore, with a life preserver for h( a craft, a general idea of direction for chart and compass, a little hope in my heart and' a maddening pain eN i my jaw. wa The shore had been hidden all da) s in the haze and smoke of 'forest fires, so I had no idea how far out I might be. The wind was blowing from the northwest, however, when I left the ship and ought, iff it-so contimnied, to fo land me in time, dead or alive. some' where on the Wahington. -shore of . the straita nean SquinT bay;. -i The water was idy,'and w~hile my 9 head and shoulders were still camipa. UI ratively .warm and my arms had not IF lost their strength all of .me below the life preserver had lost feeling. B My sensation was of being only a head, shoulders and arms perched on a life preserver. Every little while a wave broke h over my head. My arms grew cold er, and the numbness began to creeptl over me. But I still paddled along of as well as I could while the life P' preserver bobbed over the waved. 21 fo After a space, which was probably about an hour and a half and which. seemed an unusually long night, ~ I lost consciousness again. - d How long I drifted I cannot tell,s b.ut I opened my eyes on a bright sky b and felt the warmth of the sun do- le lightfully. cc My limbs were still numb and witih some pain revived.' Then I rose and ' looked about. I .was lying on theM beach where, hours before, the tide tO had left'me. .8 On one side were the green waters of the straits, on the other the stately, of somber 'woods where one might look el through shade into deeper shade far of within. I could hear the sound of bi runnng water, clearly distinguish- W able from the wash of the sea, the ill welcome tinkle of a stream among 82 the rocks under'the trees.P The salt water which I had swal lowed, and which had left a light ti crust on my lips, and the long absti- r nence and fatigue had made me very rC thirsty. On I staggered, guided by lt sound, to the stream. . cc It seemed to be dodging about meb and laughing at my4 efforts to find it, e~ for my senses were dull with expos- cc ure and weariness, and the woodlanid ~ echoes shifted the sound as I moyed, D! but at last I Treached it and" wash wonderfully-refreshed. fC There were trout in the clear wa- a] ters, but I had no means of catching ce them or bildipg a fire to cook them. ' No more could -I catch any of the wild fo'wl that swam invitingly neard shore in the straits. But I managed a to kill a squirrel as he came fr'ompis t~ hole in a stump. and the flesh, didd T in the sun on a bit of bark laid on the ni burning sand, was a little better thin 01 nothing. . As night approached I stripped the moss, which grows six inches deep in huge mats on the ancient trunks, and piled myself a bed. There I p1 slept wa'rmly and well till b-road day, 0o when I arose refreshed, though of fiercely hungry. si I determnined to push along the st. hre.; to the eastward,.- where, if 1 is lived and walked longc enough, 1 as should doubtless find either white w settlers or Siwash fishermen.p The traveling was hard, for the h sand beach soon gave way to roughd pebbles, and the pebbles to a steep, loose, shelving shore. After thgat I had to travel in the woods through thick brush and over fallen logs'> 0: Had I gone a hundred feet farther a~ in from the shore I should have found d a well beaten trail to Seguin, but I strugled ahead on a parallel,. with [c bruised shins and torn clothing. f Toward niht I heard voices aheadb and saw smnoke blowing over the wa- a ter.
