Why He Will Never Take a Pleasure Party Sailing. “Tell me about it,, Uncle Jerry,” I eaid, lying lull length in the warm sand, letting my eyes alternately rest on the smiling water at my feet, or follow the motion of the brush in Uncle Jerry’s horny hand as it splashed a vigor ous coat of green over the worn sides Of his Old boat. He was a character ift his quiet way — the skipper par excellence of the little seaport of L-; an autocrat whose ■word was law in his native town, and who had been, since the days of our childhood, the epitome of all that was 'worth knowing in sea-lore. We were great friends, he and 1, and Vaany a long summer day had I spent beside the bent old frame, watching his rough fingers mend nets or sails with the deftness grown from long practice, and listening to his tales with keen enjoyment; but there was one incident of bis life on which he had never touched, nor could any amount of coaxing in-duce-him to approach, it. It had,.happened while I was in Europe."! The horror of it roused the neighborhood, and they said, those who knew, that Uncle Jerry was never the same again. Whether that was the cause or not, I found him greatly changed on my return after six years’ absence. This afternoon, for the first time, he betrayed a willingness to confide in me, and 1 settled myself in the shade, by the bow of the boat, and waited. Presently Uncle Jerry began: - “It were nigh five years ago. The yea* before the hotel was built. The cove was crowded; It seemed like we all had mor’n we could make comfortable, and the boarders was crowded inter old Miss Holt’s in a wajr that did seem ■wonderful when we heered how they lived in their big city homes—regTar palaces, the gals thet come with ’em to take keer the’r clo’s said.

"I hed jest bought a new sailboat, a fifty-footer, an’ a regular goer. I calculated ter make a heap out o’ pleasure parties an’ sech—an’ I did. In the momin's I went lobsterin’, ’cause Miss Holt's folks hed to hev sea things, an’ every afternoon I ‘red’ up in my blue coat with brass buttons an’ sailed skipper of the sloop-yacht Foam. “I tuk the same crowd pretty reg’lar’ on’ in time I got to know iem well. They was as'nice a lot of young things as ever come in my path; but they was Carol ess-like, an’ they didn’t allays .think. “The girls was healthy an’ hearty, an’ my! but they did go it lively. There wasn't nothin’ they didn’t try. Tennis, an’ ridin’, an’ rowin’, an’ shootin’ at targets made o’ whjfe paper, an’ sailin’. The sailin’ bothefed me. They was all over the boatat once, an’ nothin’ would do but I must larn ’em how to sail. I hed to tell/’em I wouldn’t take’em if they warnt quieter, an’ after that they kinder set^ed down. > “I grew powerful fond of ’em all, but there was one little girl I tuk a special shine to. She wasn’t very strong—-I heerd tell she was jest gittin’ over a fever. She had a sickly look, but you could see she’d been bonny. “Her eyes was blue an’ round, an’ her teeth was little an’ white—like Miss Holt’s Sunday china They’d cut off •her hair when she was sick, an’ it was all over her head in little short curls, like my ’Lize when she was a babe. “1 remembers trick she had of takin’ off her cap an’ lettin’ the wind blow her hair, an’ if the day was damp it would curl up tight, an’ she’d run her fingers thro’ it an’ pull it out straight to see how it was growin’. “As I said, she warn't very strong, an’ whew they all got to larkin’ it teemed ike she couldn’t stand it, for she’d 1- ive the rest, an’ with her little polits Jovt she’d come an’ say, so gentle like Uncle Jerry, do you mind if I stay here with you?’ I was mighty glad to have her, an’ she seemed to know it, for she’d settle herself in a pile of cushions an’ sit there quiet as a mouse. “Gradually the rest of ’em kinder forgot her, and by-an’-by she’d come right away from the start; an’ I got so used to havin’ her there at my right hand that when she stayed home I felt real lonesome. “She begged me to larn her how to steer, an’when I saw she meant it I showed her one thing and another; an’ somehow she never forgot what I told her. An’one day she says tome: ‘Uncle Jerry, 1 believe I could sail a boat as well as anyone if \ were only stronger.’ Bless her heart! I’d have trusted her sooner’n any young feller in the party if she’d had a little more muscle in her

arm. “When August come I begun to see she warn’t happy. She grew paler an’ thinner, an’ her eyes was so wistfullike it made my heart ache to see them. “There was a you ng feller ^in the party named Urey. He was a likely chap, about twenty, I reckon. He had lots of money, an’ 1 heard from some of the ladies’ gals' that he used to be a great* friend o’ Miss -May’s before she was sick; but he was a great sport, an’ after she began to go about, an’ 'he found she couldn’t do thihgs he did, he jest naturaUy slipped away from her and tuk to goin’ with Miss Julie Webb “Miss Julie was mighty pretty, with frowserly light hair, a mouth big enongh to swaller a doughnut, hull, an’ rows of teeth ‘like pearls,’ I heered Mr. Grey say.' They looked strong enough to bite nails, an’ she showed ’em all the time. When she weren’t talkin’ ahe was laughin’. She hed a voice like a steam-whistle, There warn’t nothin’ ahe couldn’t do except keep still, an’ bein’ Mr. Hugh was allays doin’ himself, they spent moat of their time together. “Mias May used to watch ’em with that heart-brealdn’ look on her dear face, an’ finally Min Julia took to

Jokin’ her, saytn: ‘ftfay. don’t yon wa*t to play tennis?’ on ‘I’ll mn you a racw on the ponies thin, afternoon. May,’ or ‘Why don’t you wake up, May? What are you dreaming about?’ But Miss May never answered Mias Julie a word, an’ finally they stopped even that an’ left her altogether alone. “I’m gettiin’ to ufy story now. I hain’t never told it befodk It hurts even now, alter all these yeArs. “I’ve given^op an idea pretty much how things went on till the afternoon they ended—<Ior me, anyway—for I never sailed that boat again. “It was the tenth of Augnst. The month had been very hot, an’ we hadn't had any sailin’ breeze for four days, but that mornin’ a nice stiff breeze begun to come* in from the sea. It was a squally breeze, an’ I didn’t jest like it, but after a time it settled down, an’ I concluded it would stay clear till next mornin’. “Well, I was oettin* in my door mendin’ a sail for my eatboat, when I heard the crowd a-conan*, I allays knew ’em by Miss Julie’s voice. I most generally could hear tha t by the time they left Miss Holt's door. “They had a couple of city fellers down from the city for the day. an’ nothin’ would do but I must take ’em sailin’. I wouldn’t have gone, but je£t at the last minute little Miss May come up an’ tuk my old brown fist in her two little white paws, an’ sez she: *Oh, Uncle Jerry, do go. I’m going home to-morrow, an’ I want one more sail, an’ this is my last chance.’ An’ so it was, poor lass! but not in the way she meant. Well, I couldn’t say no. She made me think of the little one I lost twenty years ago, an’ so—we started. “The tide was namin' out, an’ the wind was due east, which made the white-caps fly; but I put in a tack an’ started for the mouth of the bay. Jest about the time we got out from under the cliffs the squall struck us, an’ I saw my mistake. “The Foam heeled over till, her'stormdeck was two feet under water. I threw her head up into the wind, but as she came around a cross sea struek her bow, an’ when I looked for Tom to take in sail, Tom was gone.” j Uncle Jerry laid down his paintbrush just here and gazed with dim eyes over the smiling bay, living over again the great tragedy of his simple life. And I sat uprigh*, and burying my hands deep in the white sand about me, tried to absorb all my faculties in the-act of listening, following Uncle Jerry’s knot'v forefinger as it pointed to the distant horizon hill, and gave meaning to his words.

“Weil, 1 didn't dare tell them young things what had happened. I saw they'd need all their courage before they got home, if the Lord ever let them get there at all. “I looked at little Miss May, an’ there she sat, her head on her knees, her two little hands over her ..face—somehow she'd never looked so small before. Jest then she raised her head. She was white—but then she always was that —but I can tell you a cold chill went down my back when I heard her give a great laugh. I thought she'd gone clean out of her mind with fear, but it was nothin’ of the kind, ,for the next moment she says, still jokin’ like: ‘The idea of Tom’s bein’ such a coward! Hugh, will you an’ the boys git down the sail for the captain? Tom’s below an’ can’t do anything.’ “Then I knew she knew, an’ that she saw our danger as plain as 1 did. “The boys sprang for’ard, but they hadn’t time to reef it, so they jest cut it away an’ tried to reef the jib instead. Those boys meant well, but every minute was precious, an’ it did seem to me they took an hour to get it done. “The mast bent like a fish-pole, an’ every minute I thought to hear it crack. All this time the water was cornin’ ! over the sides, an’ little Miss May stood | there up to her knees, in it, coaxin’ those great healthy boys an’ girls, an’ scoldin’ when she couldn’t keep ’em quiet without it. “There was no use makin’ light of our danger now. It didn’t need tellin’ —they all saw it Then, as the boys turned to come aft, the city feller lost his footin' an’ over he went after Tom. “Mr. Hugh an’ the other feller jest looked at each other an’ staggered to their places—an’ thefl they ran in to Miss May. She didn't give ’em time to git more Scart. She jest handed ’em two buckets and said, kinder stern: ‘Here, don’t be cowards. If we must die, let's die bravely; but in the meantime—work.’ “I had given up then, an’ kinder resigned myself to what was cornin’. I had time to look around, for the tiller was lashed fast—no man could hold it in a sea like that—an’ 1 can remember Miss May as plain as if it was yesterday.

“They told me afterward that her grandfather was a famous sea-captain that went down standin’ on the bridge of his ship; and I guess she took after him an’ it come to the top when it was wanted, ’cause she was as cool as a coweumber. As fast as the others got scared, she grew quiet; an’ her voice, that was so soft and gentle when she used tp sit beside me, rang like a bell as she told ’em what to do. -It seemed queer to see her standin’ there among them great girls that had laughed at her ’cause she couldn’t keep up to ’em, an’ they cryia’ an’ screamin’—an’ the men warn’t much better. “Death ain’t a pleasant thing to face, especially on the water. I’ve had lots of narrer escapes in my time, an’ seen lots of wrecks, an’ for one man what ’ll meet it brave, twenty ’ll act like curs. You see you can’t do anything but wait for the end, an’ to .plow through a ragin’ sea with nothin’ before one but the certainty o’ bein’ pitched into the boilin’ fury—is hard. It takes the nerve out er one. Drownin’s hard, but I reckon the waitin’ for it’s harder. I didn’t like it myself, an’ I didn’t blame them pool' young things—but I couldn’t keep my eyes oft Miss May. “She was wet to the skin now, standin’ pretty well forward, as she was, every wave that come aboard splashed over her. “The wind w somethin’ had brought the color to her oheeka, ait’ every Mir

an’ then she’d take her cap off aa’ shake the water from her hair. Sh* seemed to grow taller, too, an* her voice, which the ^rind brought back to me, sounded for all the world like the last echo o' the fog-bell t’other side the bar. ‘•We were gettin* on now. With that wind at our backs an’ the racin’ cut of the Foam we couldn’t help it. We were in past the lighthouse, an’-1 begun to think we’d weather it. Jest then there was a report like- a pistol, an’ 1 went heelin’ to leeward with my arm in flinders. I remember thinkin’ that was the end o’ things, an’ then I fainted.” U ncle Jerry drew out a gorgeous red cotton handkerchief and mopped his brow, from which the perspiration was rolling in streams; then he continued: “When I come to, there was Miss May and Mr. Hugh holdin’ the tiller with all their might. The derned rope I had used to lash the handle had broke. They told me afterward that when it happened Mr. Hugh and Miss May sprang to it, an’ between ’em,they managed to keep her head before the wind. j “My arm was painin’ me just awful, but I managed to put my well shoulder to the wheel, so to speak, an’ found 1 could help considerable. The rope had got pushed about the painter of the dory an’ was trailin’ in the water behind. “The girls had kinder waked up, all but Miss Julie. She couldn’t seem to get over her fear; but sat there white as a ghost with her teeth chatterin’. Miss May looked at her a minute, then she got up an’ went over to her. 1 never knew, but thinkin’ of it afterward, it seemed to me she must have felt somethin’ of what was cornin’. “Miss May stood there so sweet an’ tender, an’ sez she: “ ‘Never mind, Julie, dear, the worst, is over. I feel sure you’ll reach home safely an’ be happy.’ Then sudden-like she stooped an’ kissed Miss Julie, an’ come back to Mr. Hugh an’ me. “I think Mr. Hugh's eyes begun to be opened then, for he gave her the queerest look. She met his eyes, an’ for a moment her bright new color went away; then she turned to me an’ said: ‘Poor Uncle Jerry! Hugh, help me to lash the rudder again; Uncle Jerry can’t stand much more.’ “I moved a little, an’ they both reached for the rope. The next moment Miss May gave a horrid, groaning cry, an’ Mr. Hugh was in the water holding on by the rope. Miss May’s face was deathly pale, an’ she was all bent over in the queerest way—telling Mr. Hugh

to be patient. She didn t seem to be able to move, an’ I remember I was sorter cross at the idea of her givin’ out jest when she was most needed. I called one of the boys and between uls we got Mr. Hugh on board, Miss May all the time leanin’ more an’ more over the side, till I feared she’d be over, too. 1 warned her, but shfc only said: ‘No fear of that, Uncle Jerry,’ an’ lafd her head on the side of the boat. I might have known—dear lass, dear lass!’ * Uncle Jerry paused to control the quiver in his worn old voice. “As we pulled Mr. Hugh on board there was a sudden jerk, an’ Miss May went over. I saw then what the trouble had been. The rope that held the dory was only partly out, an’ the sudden pull Mr. Hugh had given it had hauled it tight an’ drawn Miss May’s arms tight across her chest. “The pain must have awful, for when we found her both arms were broken an’ there was a great dent across her chest where the breath had been knocked out of her, almost. “She knew if she said anything Mr. Hugh would let go, so after that first cry she never let a sound pass her lips. “For a second or two the rope held her up, an’ I thought I could save her, but she. knew better. As I started to pull her in her dear face came above the foam about it. She tried to shake the water from her eyes in the old way. “ "Good-by, Uncle Jerry,’ she says, her soft voice all hoarse an’ strained with the agony she was in—then she looked at Mr. Hugh, an" that look has haunted me ever since. It was so full of love! You eould see all she’d cared for him, an’ all she'd suffered, kinder, in her eyes. "Good-by, Hugh, my dear, dear Hugh,’ she said, an’ his name, as it left her lips, was the last sound she made; then the water closed over her an’ she never rose again.” Uncle Jerry didn’t care to conceal the honest tears that rolled down his cheeks, and something in my own eyes blurred the sea from my vision. Neither spoke for a minute, then I said: “Did you say they found her?” Uncle Jerry replied, gruffly: “I found her myself, after the storm, lyin’ on a bed of seaweed, that same lovin’ look on her face. I didn’t tell no one, for I couldn’t bear no one to lech

her. 1 got my, wagon ana tinea it with clover and ferns that I cnt pn purpose, an’ tnk her up to Miss Bolt’s, an’ laid her on the little bed she’d slept in all summer. The next day her friends come and tuk her home. “It clos ed the season at Miss Holt’s, an’ I sold the Foam for twenty dollars to get her out o’the bay, an’ I hadn't never took a pleasure party since. Guess I won’t paint any more ter-day.” And, gathering up his brushes, Uncle Jerry left -me abruptly and started through the heavy sands for home, while I moved my seat out of reach of the incoming tide and watched his stooping figure till it vanished in the door, of his cabin, and meditated, on What I had heard.—G.

THE SIZE OF THE SEA. Some Aid* to the Mind in Comprehending It* Vastness.' One gallon of. water weighs 10 pounds, so the number of gallons in the Pacific is over 200 trillions; an amount which would take more than a million years to pass over the falls of Niagara. Yet, put into a sphere, the whole of the Pacific would only measure 726 miles across. The Atlantic could be contained bodily in the Paeifi® nearly three times. The number of cubic feet is 117 followed by seventeen cyphers; a number that would be ticked off by our million clocks in 370,000 years. Its weight is 325,000 billion tons, and the number of gallons in it is 73 trillions. A sphere to - hold the Atlantic would have to be 538% miles in diameter. If it were made to fill a ‘circular pipe reaching from the earth to the sun —a distance of ninety-three million miles—the diameter of the pipe would be 1,837 yards, or rather over a mile; while a pipe of similar length to contain the Pacific would be over a mile and thre-quarters across. Yet the distance to the sun is so great that, as has been pointed out, if a child was born with an arm long enough to reach the sun it would not live long enough to know that it had touched it, for sensation passes along our nerves at the rate of 100 feet a second, and to travel from the sun to the earth at that rate would take a century and a half, and such an abnormal infant is an unlikely centenarian.

The rest of the sea literacies the Indian ocean, the Arctic and Antarctic seas, and various smaller masses of water; it covers an area of 43,000,000 square miles and would form a circle of 7,300 miles in diameter. The averagp depth may he put at 3,000 fathoms (13,000 feet), and the contents at 95,000,000 cubic miles. It weighs 390,000 billion tons, and contains 87X trillion gallons, while it would form a column reaching to the sun of 3,000 yards in diameter. If we now combine into one vast whole these various figures we arrive at some stupendous results in answer to the question, “How big is the sea?" Its area of 140,000,000 square miles could be confined by a circle 13,350 miles across The relative size of the areas of the whole surface of the earrti, of the whole sea, the Pacific and the Atlantic, are represented by circles the diameters of which are in proportions to one another of 158, 133, 93, and 63 respectively; or by a crown for the surface of the earth, a half-crown for the surface of the whole sea, a shilling for the surface of the Pacific, a threepenny piece for the surface of the Atlantic. Supposing the sea to be formed into a round column reaching to the sun, the diameter of the column would be nearly 2X miles. The Pacific would form 53,000,000 miles of its total length of 93,000,000, and the Atlantic 18,000,000. If it were a column of ice, and the entire heat of the sun could be concentrated upon it, it would all be melted in one second, and converted into steam 1 in eight seconds; which illustrates the heat of the sun rather than the* aim of
