Mr. Amos will move his family fr an hour late , when it St ell hrt ken tr novel and hazardous trip across the Atlantic in a 52-foot schooner. Mr. Arens, accompanied J. B. Kelly, owner of the comparatively miniature craft, "The Diableaae." A youthful observ er and Mra. Kelly, were the only other members of the party of adventurers. Mr. Arens. who was formerly asso ciated with his brothers in a Middle Valley orchard place but who is now engaged in literary work in New York City, in a recent letter to hia mother, who is spending the winter here, gave a graphic description of the fun and hair-breadth escapes of the long cruise. 'The Uiablesse left New London in mid-June. She dropped anchor at Cowes, Isle of Wight, at sundown on July Hi. Mr. Arens says that the hap penings in between are best described by Mr. Kelly, a New York yacht en thusiast, himself, in an acticle in a November issue of the Philadelphia Ledger. In that story, Mr. Kelly pays the following tribute to the ex-orch-ardist : "He was slightly handicapped by his background, which was literary rather than nautical, but J will back him to be the only man on earth who could stay seasick 33 days and never miss hia tricks at the wheel, or refuse to stag ger out of his bunk and lend a hand on deck without complaint." "I think my wife and I scared each other into our sailing across the North Atlantic in our 52-foot schooner, " is the way Mr. Kelly opens his story. Then he proceeds : "At any rate by the first of last May neither of us dared say we were not going to do it. Our friends were horrified, and if there was one of them so optimistic that he or she didn't have a premonition that this was the last of us, I can't think who it was. A phy sician friend of mine thought I had no right to go because 1 couldn't make a neat amputation in case somebody car ried away a leg or something, and he tried to cram me for the test of stop ping bursting blood vessels. 1 loaded up, with instruments and remedies for every eventuality. Unlortunaieiy l forgot the Mssihility of Heasickness. At New London our professional sailor dogged it, and I suffered a touch of depression. Here 1 was with a 20 year old navigator, who was not feel ing good over ttie loss of the profes sional sailor, a man who hadn't the slightest conception of the purposes of ropes and a small and rather delicate girl, lint when 1 looked the thing in the face 1 realized that the boat was !K) per cent of the game, and 1 knew what 1 knew about that boat. At the thought of the girl 1 brightened. I had cruised with her before. With that boat and that girl I Bhould pres ently arrive at Cowles, Isle of Wight no matter how the others developed. "Four days after we started, when we were all in the cockpit, Arens with queer musical instrument, an Ha waiian ukelele, and the rest of us hav ing supper, we noticed a cloud bank to the north of us. it became particular ly savage looking when a snowy, nar row white line of clouds appeared along the edge of the black. ' 1 im mediately ordered the topsail down. Without any preliminary notice of in tentions we were struck by a scream ing gust of wind. 1 tried to run Uia blesse into it, in order to get down our mainsail and jib. But we couldn t manage it. it blew so hard that we ouldn t breathe when we looked to windward. The evening went inky hlack. 1 ordered every one to stay in the cockpit, for in that howling blast 1 didn't know what might carry away forward and 1 didn't want to run the hance of losing any one overboard. "1 ran before the wind and Uiablesse seemed to rise and go over the water like a surf board. Wifh everything Ise this speed was tremendously ex hilarating, and Arens began to bawl out: TPs always fair weather when good fellows get together.' My wife, Ann, afterward told me that I joined him. At any rate about the middle ol the lirst verse the main boom jibed. It went over my head nearly 20 feet in i he air and came down in the runners with the main sail creased across the middle and bellying with the wind. VV hy I did not lose both my boom and my sail 1 do not know but niter that bOOffl failed to carry away the runners and mast this seemed merely an inci dent. When that DOOM went over my head I fell that 1 had been turned to ice. For nearly an hour we were ham mered by squall after squall, with no time between them. I he instant the wind would drop we would all go for that mainsail, but the next instant an- w.ner nin.-i wouio sweep uuwn upon us and we would accomplish nothing. I he wind died as suddenly as it had ome up, Put we were drowned in a smother of rain. 1 lowered all but the foresail in order to overhaul the can- as by daylight. We all turned in ex cept Arens, whose watch it was. We arranged the watches four hours on and eight hours otf, and this worked extremely well, as each one of us got one good long sleep and a nap, in the 24 hours." Mr. Kelly says that the little iwat was seldom out of the sight of srniis and icebergs caused grave alarm. He, however, declares that his one serious fear during the entire 33 days was of being run down by some ship. On the ninth day out 10 big vessels were ighted, one of them an ocean grey hound racing past. A huge tramp ave them a position, which was evi dently misunderstood, for it threw the rew and passengers of the schooner into consternation until a lietler reck oning, received from another passing esse I, coincided closer with the Uia lesse's youthful navigator. On this ninth day, too, occurred events that the members of the party will always hold as momentous. Mr. Kelly de- scnties them as follows: 'A shift in the wind was welcomed at first. I was getting worried by tie tremendous traffic about us and wanted to work south. The slightly northerly slant of the enraged wind made this easy. But it was the strength of the wind which was deceptive, and before we knew it the seas were breaking and running very large and the wind was blowing a full gale. 1 did not dare put Uiablesse into those seas. They had tcrntie weight and were the largest we had yet seen. I tried to pull the schooner to the w nd and for a long time I could not manage it. Finally I made the cabin car;vt fast to about mi fathoms of line and trailed it to lee want, and this did the trick. "There was about an hour of that afternoon which will hold a prominent place in the memories of the crew of the Uiablesse. Our navigator was nearly washed off the wheelbox by rrosa sess during his watch, and then I took the wheel and steered for four boars. We closed the lower half of the cabin doors, so that the water in the cockpit would not go below, and Ann tilled snd lighted pities for me and the day. But the terrific falls the Uiablesse was enduring were more than any boat should have to bear. I wondered how much she could stand. It was then 1 thought of the heavy rug in the cabin and trailed it, and it did the trick. ' ' For a week the Uiablesse was sailed at top speed, and then a calm struck the craft. Just before the calm, on July 4, the lJiableese hailed and spoke to the Easterly of London, secured a position and learned of the outcome of the Uempsey-Carpentier fight. ; for nearly a week we lay in the calm," says Mr. Kelly. "For a while we were glad enough of the relaxation ana everyone slept up. nut alter a day or two we were keen to be on our way again. 1 carried but 50 gallons of gasoline, and this for emergency pur poses, so it seemed foolish to start the motor. We took down our sales to keep them from slitting to pieces and took to cleaning ship, for a day or two this was very good fun; then it began to wear. Wallowing idly in a placid ocean beneath a blazing sun, when your objective is nearly a thous and miles away and the nearest land 700 miiea to the east has its charms, but it sets you to thinking about your water supply. Arens sang all the songs that were popular during the Spanish-American war, and sometimes we sat in the cockpit and fairly shouted with laughter. Then we would go over the side for a swim. We had tea and crackers and jam, and presently Ann would conjure up a good dinner. And after dinner there were a few moments of work ; the lights to hang, the white light placed where the helmsman could reach it in case of following steamers, and if a little evening breeze had spiung up, setting sails. 'I would lie in my bunk while Rom sey, the navigator, and Arens carried on endless conversations about sharks. Komsey averred that a shark would not attack a black man, and Arens promptly suggested black Annette Kfcllerman bathing suits for white men swimming in shark infested waters. Romsey wasn't positive this would work, although he thought it might. Once Arens asked how whales were killed. The ship was very still and his voice came booming down the compan ionway. Instantly came the answer from Ann's stateroom : 'They chloro form them !' "That the conversation should often include the subject of the large fish was not surprising, for we saw no end of whales during the week we lay In the calm. They were all around us and time after time we were amazed to see two immense black, column-like forms rise out of the water, "bolt up right, and fall back with a tremendous splash. Romsey told us that wi ales fight after that manner; but fighting or playing we were startled many times by having the horizen broken by the gigantic fish, and several times they were so close to the boat that the thought of their doing damage was in our mind. One calf whale, about 110 feet long, took a great fancy to the Uiablesse and hung about us for nearly two hours. The tirst time he touched I thought we had struck a submerged wreck. I dashed out on deck to find Ann and Arens and Romsey solemnly staring into the small and stupid eyes of this young (iargantua. " The Story of j Our States By JONATHAN BRACE XXXVIII.
