At Rakabanga the feeling La that only by a miracle can a safe passage be made through what, by a stretch of the imagination, is called the en trance to the lagoon. Imagine a once good entrance obstructed by a wall of coral rising to within a few feet of the surface of the water. Thla coral wall Is built by that wonderful creature, the coral polyp. Over It break with inconceivable fury huge ocean- blllowa that travel with the speed of race horses, lashing and churning the water Into a milk white foam and with a deafening roar throwing the spray to such n height that it may be seen miles away. The backwash of every breaker forms, on the outside of the wall of rock, a chasm fathoms deep, which Is again filled up by the next rushing wave. To cross the abyss and rea h the quiet shelter of the lagooii Is a difficulty that the Islander shows,the greatest skill In surmounting. A % Ills boat—a long. low. flat b<wton^d affair, built much like a halibut dory, manned usually by six paddlers be sides the steersman—Ls brought to the very verge of the boiling caldron, »ml there it ls held till the opportune mo ment arrives. Since that sometimes does not occur for five or tea minutes the passenger has plenty o f time to reflect upon his misdeeds, to survey the sublime scene and to wonder how in the world that fearful turmoil of water is to be crossed. The delay does not tend to compose his nerves, hot if he is observant be will notice that about every five or six minutes three giant billows In quick succession roll majestically In. When the last of the three has passed and the chasm has been tilled np the paddlers give a frightful yell that ter rifies the unsuspecting passenger al most to death, dig in their paddles and shoot the boat forward like an arrow from a bow. J Before the backwash can ro-empty the chasm the boat ls across. The passenger has hardly time to grasp how it ls done before the paddlers have sprung to the reef and pulled the boat clear of the next roller, usu ally a small one. In entering the lagoon the chief risk is that of an upset after crossing the chasm and a ducking in two or three feet of water, but on going out, if the boat does not reach the smooth water before the next succeeding swell breaks, woe betide It and its c(ew. for nothing will prevent Its being swamp ed and carried, with all hands, back Into the awful abyss by the Inrush of broken water, out of which only the strongest and most skilful swimmers can emerge. A MASTER OF DETAIL P a in tin g s to S u it A bbey H a d H is to ric a lly C o rrect. to Be One of the strongest characteristics of Abl>ey was his terror of anach-- ronlsm. No detail of a great caovas ifas small enough to escape bla In finite precaution In this regard, no re search too exhausting that yielded the correct answer to some archaic matter of dress or armor. Because of this scrupulous care his studio at Morgan hall, itself sd ancient building, more than 300 years old. became a veritable museum of heraldic shields, coifs aud casques. Whenever he wished to paint a certain detail of complicated armor he purchased or borrowed a whole suit as a model. Once, so the story Is told, when Abbey had completed a large painting depicting an ancient court scene be discovered that the quarterlngs In the heraldic shield woven In a woman's skirt were Incor rect lie painted out the skirt and corrected his error. His masterpiece In oils, the "Quest of the Holy Orall," which he did for the Boston library, has been pronounc ed perfect In every detail of architec ture. of dress and heraldry. His "Cor onation of Edward V II." has. been prhlsed by antiquarians because of Ita perfection and accuracy of detail It was this painting which won Abbey his greatest fame In England. Though Abbey spent nearly all of his working years In England and on the continent he did not consider him self an expatriate, and he was alwn.va keenly American In hts sentiments. Baseball was with him a consuming passion. When he discovered that there was none to p'av his favorite game In England he took up cricket aa the next best thing, and cricket waa his favorite pastime.—Hew York Son.
