arose. Despite strenuous efforts
the doors refused to budge. They
had got jammed probably swelled
a little by the water.

Had a Wretched Time

Rougher and rougher grew the
sea while the indefatigable com-
modore battled to get his duty
done. About him on the deck
of the sniff yacht in spite of the
fresh sea breezes there swirled
in aromatic gusts the spicy odors
of the clipper’s cargo. The result
was a most unhappy one for the
indefatigable commodore. Beset
with all the dismal horrors of
mal-de-mer, besides his natural
anxiety to ensure the proper per-
formance of his duty, and the
safety of the vessel in his charge,
he still manfully stayed with the
job. It took far longer than it
should have taken. It was far
harder than it should have been.
Drenched with salt spray, chilled,
sea-sick, yet still indomitable, Com-
modore Macfarlane had finally
to abandon the attempt to force
the sniff yacht’s dumping

With shovels the cargo
was dumped in toilsome manner,
and most unappetising circum-
stances. But with his colors nailed
to the mast though the natural
color of his bronzed cheeks was
paled, the gallant commodore fin-
ished his task, and returned in
triumph to the harbor with the
sniff yacht proudly stemming the
tides behind him.
