West Africa is known to all aavi
gstors for lis few harbors and Its
heavy surf, which at certain seasons
rages lite a battle, defying the white
man who would approach Its shores.
The author of Tbe Jungle Folk of
." E. H. MHilgan. tells cf a suc
cessful, sad to the observers aa amus

where the surf did not seem to be im
psssabla. One day, when the beach seemed
much better than usual, the captain
nd ths ship's Burgeon ventured
ashore. The captain afterward narrat
ed the adventure of their landing to a
mall but enthusiastic audience. He
said that after waiting outside the
surf half aa hour the head man sud
denly gave tie order, and la a moment
they were ia the breatera, riding on
the top of one of them, and speeding
toward the shore at the rate of "seven
ty miles aa hour."
The captain was la the bow of the
boat, well braced and cushioned. But
when tie boa struck the beach with
the force of a railway collision, the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captain's bosom, whom
be clasped about the neck with a steel
l!ie grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat op and buried it upon
the beach, throwing both captala sad
octor to a perfectly safe distance,
where tiey sprawled trptm the sand.
The doctor, still bugging the captains
neck, and very much frightened, ex
claimed,: "O captain, dear captain. Is there
