TALES OF THE DREP."
BY AN OLD SAILOR.
"Never before had it been my lot to witness the terrible monster we encountered on a trip from San Francisco toward Nanaimo, B. Cyto load coal, in the bark scott, of Honolulu," Temarked a sailor at the Flyer dock, as he watched a ship being towed to sea,

"There's no mistake about' habit being a tyrakt," said the old retired sea captain, with a far-away look in his eyes.
I suppose it's just the same in every work and profession, but I have had occasion, ol coume, to analyze the life of the sea closer than most any other calling.

for the sea.
"I could cite" a number of instances to bear out my statement. One old captain, whe retired from the sea because his win and. family said he was too old to make the required. long voyages, listened to their extreaties and pleadings, though he was over do years of age, bale and hearty, loo, at that, gavoup bis position as mister of a steamer, became a land lubber' and died four months later, An hour before allowed me to keep on with my work I would be pisted away, he said "If they hed only have lived many years longer."
"I had to give up my ship a month ago— rheumatism. But I come to the dock as regular: ly as clockwork every day. Why, I don't know, bat a curione something draws me here, and the sight of the ships and steamers wrings my. heart. I can feel the strength going, ut of my body day by day.
