My yarn today has to do
w ith u waterspout In th ’
Java Sea.
Kangy and I
were cruisin’ w ltn my old
shipmate,
ip mi
Tops’1 Barney,
In nlt< schooner, th* Lunui.
It wua ho hot that th ’
pitch wan bubblin’ out of
th ’ scams in th ’ deck. Over-
Hide, th ’ seas were ro llin ’
past in a long, greasy «well.
OIT <>n th ’ horizon th ’ sky
was ge ttin ’ blacker and
blacker. A ll on board be­
gan to feel that trouble of
Home kind was brewin’.
Barney bawled to th ' crew
to take in nail. In a j i f f y
th ’ halyards were w h intiin’
through th ’ blocks and th ’
water, headin’ rig h t fo r us,
wan a monster waterspout.
Across th ’ black sky jagged
spears of llg h tn ln ’ were
fla sh in ’, and that great
waterspout w a s grow ln’
higher every minute, and
movin’ fanter and faster as
it rushed toward us.
W ith a roar it was upon
us. Barney yelled fo r all
hands to bang o n ! I t seem­
ed like th ’ whole sky, fu ll
of water, h a d dropped
down upon us, and th ’
boomin’ of thunder, and th ’
crashin' of seas contra’
aboard wus awful.
Then, we missed Kangy!
Barney was th ' tirst to see
him. He pointed, and there
was Kangy, in a wooden
tub, floatin’ away on top of
u great, foam-tipped wave.
But that little fe ller wus
brave! W ith his fro n t feet
he was puddlin’ fo r his life
toward th ’ schooner. A ll
at once a towering sen rear­
ed up and rolled over him.
I thought th ’ end had come
fo r my little pal. Then,
what do you think, th ’ next
minute Kangy came floatin’
over th ’ ra il onto th ’ .deck.
T h ’ storm had passed.
Soon th * warm sup was
shinin’, and when we look­
ed about we saw that all
hands were safe and sound.
In no time at a ll th ’ Sails
were hoisted, sheeted home
and th ’ Lanui headed away
on her course.
