island I just like to have a fight with niggers tonight ft so tiresome being on lliis old ship so long I fear you would get the worst of it boy his sister Mildred smiling and find yourself in one of those celebrated ovens alive Roasting dead you mean put in another girl It is not likely I would enjoy that very well said Harold laughing with ihc rest but really I am perfectly sick of this monotony with nothing to but water and sky from one days end to another A fight with savages not improve matters much said Mildred I have an idea though let us get some one to tell us a routing euro story Just the thing cried Harold What is all this none a jovial voice from behind Turning quickly they taw the cap tain approaching accompanied by a larc man apparently in the very prime of life He was dressed in the of a minister and possessed kindly dignified bear ing which called forth such love and respect from all who knew him He had left his island home in mid to try what the healthy climate of Canada would do for his delicate sweet faced wife but he was not very hopeful of success for he well knew it was no bodily disease which was gradually sapping her very life a ay When the medical missionary and his wife with their little fouryear old ton first stepped on board a many admiring eyes were cast to Mildred Raymond lake hers off them Harold she said with arent a I isnt he handsome a dearer little than plenty smaller said Harold You beauty I just him My dear sister wait till he is in one of his little tempers and you will feel more like shaking him With this Harold walked off laugh ing Rut Mildreds first impression of the new passengers did not alter She became extremely fond of theoi all but there was something es pecially fascinating 10 her about the lady who always appeared pleas ant and yet Mildred often caught a sad expression cross her face the could not understand But must return to the group of young people Oh Dr Irvington said Mildred when she saw who it was had in terrupted them I believe you are the very person we want State your desires the doc tor accepting the teat offered Please tell us about some of your adventures on the sea I am certain you have had some- You have given a task said the for I have gone through very few adventures and those I fear you not find very interesting Yes Doctor lets leave it put in You may as well at once said the captain alio taking a seat for I can easily sec there will be no more peace on board until you do Dr Irvington sat thinking a mo ment then with a smile well or a peaceful life I will begin my fust vovage to sea Having just completed rny medi cal course and wishing very much to see some ether parts the world out side my country I accepted the position of surgeon on board the which was about start on a voyage around the world The fust two months on board I enjoyed splendidly nearly all that time the remained fine and the ship sailed steadily on with little or no de lay There were about a down passen gers on board and I became quite in timately acquainted with atveraL One of them was a young fellow named Harry Simpson we teemed to ate to each other from he firth and toon became fait friends When we got a certain group of islands the weather suddenly A terrific storm arose and as the was anything but sea worthy the sailors little hope from the beginning of savins her All that dreadful storm raged every fresh blast adding des truction to ihe illfated retsel Just breaking we a tre mendous shock Sod the ship stem item A coral rock exclaimed the cap- He pished into the hold and the water rising so rapidly that ffort 10 the ship jj id prove the 1xit were fciuSV1 bands helped to load What he looking around in bewilderment You being nearly half dead I answered Oh I now said he I ashamed to stand around doing nothing when everyone else was working and was on the way to offer service lo the captain when One of these abominable old timbers fell across lejcs Are they both brok en It is lo be hoped not I re plied After an examination I found lhat one was broken and the other badly bruised fortunately the timber that had struck them was not of a great sire or poor Harry would lost both legs if not his life I at once set to work to doctor and do all that was possible to ease his suffering Of course by this lime all the boats were out of sight and we were left to our fate but somehow I did not have much fear The water seemed to have al most stopped riung so fresh hope was instilled into my spirits Well the had been abating ever since the boat had left us soon ceased altogether and the sea as glass After seeing lhat my friend was as comfortable as circumstances would permit I set trying to manufacture a raft for we could not remain where we were long as the ship was still though slowly filling with water working away in good earnest I had a substantial raft made before sunset but we both decided not to leave the wreck till morning I launched it and put as pro visions on as thought safe to carry so as not to have any delay when once the sun arose We both had a pretty good nights rest in spite of all unpleasant circumstances and awoke greatly refreshed it was rather difficult to get Harry on the raft but I managed it somehow so just as the sun appeared above the horizon we commenced our perilous voyage I suppose said the doctor look ing around at young audience with one of his smiles you expect to hear how we remained in this way for weeks floating alone with the current and at last being picked up by a vessel but I have a belter account to give than that It was only the next day that we sighted land No one but those who have gone through the same expe rience could imagine our feelings of mingled relief and anxiety as we gradually drew near the beautiful Island- It was one of those of the ocean one so often reads about The first objects we could linguist were hills with a delicate shading of deep green presently the wen shading look the form of Irees fust tall graceful palms with ihcir of feathery foliage on the top then trees of small growth but as we drew neater my eye caught some was not a tree What do you think it was ask ed Ihe doctor pausing Perhaps a temple said one of the A church spite said the doctor What a feeling of gladness came over me when I that symbol of peace which put all doubt of a cordial welcome out off my head I turned to my friend and Harry I we wont be eaten by savages anyway He looked in the direction I pointed and gave a faint smile Poor fellow he was still suffering dreadfully I think one more day would have settled him At last we were near enough to native houses nestling among luxuriant foliage and soon I saw a party of natives get into a canoe They saw us for they came straight in our direction When they reached the raft a cou ple of them lifted Harry tenderly into the canoe and after I had stepped in they paddled back to land There we were welcomed by the kind missionary who stood on the shore awaiting our arrival A rough litier was soon made by the handy natives for Harry and we all marched to the missionarys house where bis comely wife received us in her hearty motherly way She relieved me of a great load by at once taking Harry hand as I felt certain he would soon tinder her Mr was the name urged me to take some food but at my request he showed me an apartment where I could refresh myself with a bath and then take some much needed rest for neither nor I had slept any since leaviog the wreck It was broad daylight next morning before I awoke Mis Hatty had left me a suit her husbands clothes in place of my own which were so filled with sea brine that they were not fit to wear till thoroughly I found to my that the good missionarys clothes were anything but urge enough for me pants reached only to my boot- tops ihe about halfway between my elbow and So you may Imagine I felt rather m lo fast room What was ray astonish- j and dismay to tec a beautiful young girl standing putting the finish ing touches to the arrangcmenti very meal She looked up on hearing me enter end intlantiy her face became convulsed with sup pressed amusement a smile quivered on her pretty lips and could easily sec she found it hard to keep from laughing id my face but natural good soon came to her assistance to first thing I knew there was a soft lillle hand In mine and In the sweetest of voices see introduced her self as Mr eldest daughter Irene Jus then Mr and Mrs en tered followed by their second daughter She also was very good looking but I never could make up my mind that she was as beautiful as Irene though when I was discussing the question with Harry come lime afterwards he stoutly affirmed that Irene couldnt hold a candle to her We KOt through breakfast more pleasantly than I at first thought and as we arose from the table Mr offered to show me around Ihe island I instinctively looked down at my clothes then at who a broad smile on his face My dear fellow he said dont let that prevent you Believe me the population of this will greatly admire your appearance both laughed heartily at this and soon started on our tour of in spection spending a very enjoyable morning of it Well you will all be getting tired if I dont bring this story to a close pretty soon spent about two months our kind friends Harry gradually recovered under the care of Mra Harvey and got to be such great friends with the Missionarys daughter lhat before we left the island they had with the ap proval of all determined to be com panions for life and at the end of two years he returned claim his own As for myself concluded the doctor when became possessed ol rny clothes I tried to be as to Irene as I had been so unpleasantly and I think with some success for our determination was similar to and Fannys therefore I ac companied Harry back to the Island to claim my own so Mr gave away both daughters in one day but instead of taking my little wife home to Canada I remained to help with his missionary work and have continued a Medical Missionary ever since Hasnt Mrs had some great trouble since then asked Mildred Yes a terrible sorrow has over taken us since that lime About five years after our I was called home to Canada on urgent business and as the length of my lay was un certain took my wife and daughter with me The latter was a little creature just our age and like all young pat ents we fairly worshipped her Well we boarded a ship and started on voyage to my native land It was very pleasant sailing the first week or two but at the end of lhat time bid weather set in and for several days our splendid vessel was jo beaten about that at last it became a com plete wreck and were compelled to take to boats at midnight I saw that my little girl and her negro was safely on board one of the boats and then turned to help my wife in also who I thought was standing near but she had vanished Running back to cur cabin I found her with the saving propen sities of her sex gathering to gether some of our most valuable property I felt as if I must save some of clothing she said apolo getically We hurried back but when we got on deck the boat was gone 1 No one could tell how it had happened unless it bad been swept away with the wind My poor wife was almost distracted with We bad to get into an other boat and were fortunately soon picked up by a passing vessel at last arriving safely in Canada But the other boat was never heard of though we have spent a small fortune in try ing lo find out what became of it- My wife you can see has never re- corered from the shock and I fear never will The doctor ceased speaking and there was a pause Suddenly the captain started as if struck with a new ideal What was the name of the ship he asked quickly The was the answer Ah I thought as much Doctor ibere was a brother of mine on that lost boat We were the left of our family so you may imagine what we were to each other Charlie was always hankering to be a mission ary but as he was yet so young I ad vised him to remain for a while in his old position as sailor on board and he did to at the cost his life You may be sure I tried in every way to find out what became of the illfated boat but I could get no satisfaction till a couple of years ago when I was fortunate enough to meet the only man that could give me any information about it He told me be had been one of that boat load and how after a week of suflcring on the open tea ihey had landed on a lonely island which was scarcely ever visited by a hip Poor creatures most of Ibem would have fated better on the ocean for all but three were killed This man was one of the three He man- aged to hide on the island till he got chance of escaping in boat Never missed him interrupted
