About 90. miles in, m its mouth in theNorth sea, where a tributary, of the Kibe, the Alsteiy has been dammed to form two lakes, Hamburg has been built, its earliest beginnings having been a castle of Charlemagne which stood on the spot in Nil. Its harbor is broad and deep enough for the largest vessels. The tUnks are among the finest in the world, and will accommodate l.r>(> ships at one time. "Most iff the German railroads ulti mately load to the city and numerous canals bring their traffic to its por tals. Hamburg has a very interesting if. dirty, old district along these ca nals where the poor of the city live in dark houses and damp cellars. When the tide is out these canals become empty and the women and children of the district immediately run, out and wade about in their mud dy bottoms to look for articles which may have been dropped overboard by the boats. Three cannon shots are sounded wh*n the tide begins to turn to teil the scavengers that soon the waters will come rushing into the canals.

SEA ADVENTURES SMACK OF CRUSOE News of the Day Brings Tales Equal to Most Imaginative of Fiction Stories. New York. ? Within two days of one I another, two tales of seafurers' daring j liuve come clicking over the cablet*, bringing a moment'* tang of adventure to newspaper reader*. The stories were those of the de parture of the 45-foot yacht Sowltas- ; KOth from Hamburg for New York via ; Funchal, and of the suffering of the crew of the British steamship Tre* 1 vessa ? sixteen and eighteen men In two small boats, voyaging 2,000 tulle# ? In the open sea, ufter their vessel i foundered In the Indian oeeaiu j There are daring and hardship of different swts In both these stories of Stout hearts. T<? Hie town dweller they bring wonderment and the tribute of admiration beneath the landsman's sense of superiority In his security. But .to the men who know the sea these are not things smacking of the phonoiuenal ? they are a part of the day's work, some of the chances taken by every man Jack. In taverns in mauy ports you can hear stories of men In cockleshell boats which make one wonder what Is the limit to the prodigies of suffering that can he undergone by the human sulmal, Two thousand miles, three thousand, four thousand, In boa+j* laden to the gunwales with men; no water save rain; live days' food stretched out to fifty; heat that mad dens, nights worse than the glaring days ? and yet victory at last. A thou sand romances have been written j about such things, but of them all j there Is not one that approaches the stark reality. The Centaur, the Pandora, t lie ; Bounty's bont and the Saglnau"s gig. i the survivors of the Essex, which was : rammed and sunk by a south Pacific whale In 1820 ? these are but chapter i headlhgs In a romance that has no j end. Of Another Category. The yacht Sowltasgoth, with her crew of three who hope to finish by midrAugust the. first voyage of the kind from a German port to New York. Is of another category. Yet this alone, for all the Implication of pleasure in the word yacht, has Its heroisms and daring. Last February six white men set out from Oilna In a twenty-seven ton yacht, the Shang hai, bound for Copenhagen on a ten month voyage. .Their route alone calls up romance ? Ainoy, Batavia, the Sun da straits, Rodriguez (where the Tre vessa's boats landed the other day), Mauritius and Madagascar ? the names alone <*all up the glint of sun on break ing waves and the sheen of palnfrs. An 18-ton yawl, the Mollle Lou, made the 2,000-mile trip from Hono lulu to San Francisco In 27 days a few years ago. In some of these voyages cannibal ism becomes, more than a Jingler's Jesf. Tly Medusa is the classic of this sort, less perhaps from the disaster Itself than from Its celebration, in (iericault'8 painting, a picture consid ered excellent in Its day and still as blfc a drawing card in the Louvre as "Washington Crossing the Delaware" In galleries nearer the subway. The Medusa was recked off the west co???f of Africa on July 2, 1810. A raft ,*<as thrown together; 149 men crowded aboard. Twelve days later It was picked up in mid-ocean by a British brig. There were fifteen sur vivors loft. Of the others, some had drowned. Five Men in a Blow. Typhoon, trade, sirocco, monsoon ? i nil the winds figure In the tyles of small boats. In the case of the Sag inaw's gig it was the lvona, bringing rain, thunder and lightning off the cliffs of the Hawaiian group. The Kona raged when the gig's five , men were worn out. William llalford was the sole survivor. He died only a year ago. In 1870 the Saginaw, a small naval ship, went to Ocean Island, 1,700 miles beyond Hawaii, to look for castaways and verify the isle's position. The Saginaw hit the reef and all hands crawled to the sandbank which is the Island, a few feet hiirh n t most. A foot whaleboat was fitted up as a ulg and decked. Lieutenant .1. O. Talbot took command. Halford and three others volunteered. Storms held np their departure. At la^t the Sagl naw'f captain Called all hands to prayer and the yig set out for Hono lulu. Navigation wns difficult. There was food for five for days ? on quarter rations. ? Heatis from the Saginaw,, dried in the sun, had been fanned, but they fermented. All bi:t Halford be came ill. The beans were jettisoned. The five fell back on desiccated i>otA toes. three spoonfuls a day. then t .vo, mixed with the fresh water aboard as ballast. Five days out the g'g lost her lantern. Halford fried nixir.g the lantern's sperm oil. a five-gallon sup ply, with the potatoes The others couldn't stand it. He could, and lived. In twenty-five days the iast of the provisions was gone. Three days later Halford knocked a booby bird on the head. It made five portions, raw. with the blood. The next meal came two n ftrlng-ftsh fHt rm ttm deck. Pa?# Lar?d in Nigh#. A day or two after that Halford, ? waking, saw land astern. They had paaaed It In the night. The men were done up; some were dying.

No Uvea Here lost and the crew salvaged more auppllo* than ltobinson Crusoe saved, They started gardens, hunted birds and turtles, stored tip brackish water ?there was plenty of it, through some fieak of nature, though live months brought only twelve hours of rain. Also, they fashioned saws of hoop jron. and in those five months built a 35- ton copper-fastened schooner, the Hope. With 24 men aboard and 11 left to guard the SSO.OQO worth of sa h age, the Hope sailed the thousand miles or more to Honolulu in 21 days, and was sold there for $1,44)0. Lost on Reef. Another Robinson Crusoe schooner was that built by survivors of the Hermes. Two Rritish whalers, the Hermes and the Pearl, were lost ten miles apart In 18 1515 on the reef that boars their names. A whalet picked up the survivors in a short time, but twelve stayed with James Robinson, who had started building a schooner. I hey took their chances ? and arrived at Honolulu all but starved, after ten weeks at sea. In IStm two Kanakas saw a small boat off the Hawaiian coast. They swam out, shook hands all rtftind with the fifteen thin strangers aboard, and, still swimming; guided the bont through the breakers. The fifteen were the survivors of the clipper ship Hornet, New York for San Francisco, which flared up like a match ? a wood en ship filled with oil ? a thousand miles south of Cape St. Lucas, Lower California, and 2,500 miles from Ha waii. There had been three boats ? two quarter boats and the long boat. In which hole, stove in In the lowering, was plugged with blnnkets and Shirts and kept plugged till the end. Cap tain Joslah A. Mitchell took a mate, two passengers and eleven seamen in the long boat and towed the other two boats. Twenty-one days out he had to lot the smaller boats go by themselves. They cut adrift with good cheer. Night came and separation. The other two were never heard of again. Made Boots Into Mush. T' ?re were flying-tlsh for the long boat and booby birds, dolphins and a bonlta and a turtle. Rut before the Kanakas shooft hands, on the forty third day, the fifteen had gnawed the bare bones of a ham, had eaten the canvas wrapping of the ham, had made their boots into mush, had de voured their Iwndkerchlefs. Four bony flj Insr-tish made them a feast ; one more was caught the next day. the fortieth day, but all hands made the captain, Worst of the lot, take it himself. "\\ hen lie left the clipper, Captain Mitchell headed for the American group, a sprinkling of isles on the charts, In latitude 17 north, longitude 133:30 west. They nyide this position ? and found no land. Hatfaifewas the nearest. The supposed land was one of the mistakes which even today show on Pacific charts with the nota tion "E.

The mutineers separated; sixteen at Tahiti built a schooner; the others went to I'itmlrn with the Bounty, which they burnt, and settled down Two years later the warship Pan dora was sent to pet those at Tahiti. On t lie way home she was wrecked and four <>/ the prisoner* and thirty one of the crew of eighty-nine were lost. The survivor* filled four small boats.
