A CHOLERA FIGHT.

{A horrible story of the sea by W. Clark Russell, «ken from the San Francisco Examiner. ]}

HE Justitia was a smart little bark of 395 tons. I had viewed her with something of ad- miration as she lay in midstream in the Hooghly somewhere off the Coolie Bazaar, | think it was. There was Calcutta, though not us steam now is. Very little of it was in any t » very best of

chat with as amiable seaman as ever it was my good fortune to meet.

We sailed in the middle of July. Noth- ing worth talking about happened during

our run down the Bay of Bengal. ‘The crew aforemast were all of them Englishmen ; there were twelve, counting the cook and steward. The captain was a man named Cayzer ; the only mate of the vessel was one William Ps The boatswain, a rough, short, hairy, immensely strong man, acted as second mate and kept a lookout when Perkins was below. But he was en- tirely ignorant of navigation and owned to me that he read with difficulty words of one syllable and could not write.

I was the only passenger. My name, I may as well say here, is Thomas Barron, Our run to the south Ceylon parallels was slow and disappointing. The monsoon was light and treacherous, sometimes dying out in a sort of laughing, mocking gust till the whole ocean was a sheet calm surface, as though the dependable trade wind was never again to blow.

“Oh, yes,” said Captain Cayzer to me, *‘we’re used to the unexpected hereabouts. Monsoon or no monsoon, I'll tell you what, vou're always safe in standing by for an Irishman’s hurricane down here.”

‘‘And what sort of breeze is that?’ I asked. ,

‘**An up and down calm,” said he; as hard to know where it begins as to guess where it'll end.”

.iowever, thanks to the frequent trade uffs and other winds, which tasted not ke the monsoon. we crawled through those

rains.

SUCCESSFUL MEN

MANY OF THEM ARE HANDICAPPED WITH CATARRHAL DISEASES.

Dr. A. W.CHASE

COMES TO THEIR AID,

fueccess in lifé ie aimost impossible for a man with bad breath. Nobody wants to do »business with him. No- body wants to associate with him. He is handicapped everywhere. Offen- sive breath comes from catarrh; some- times from catarrh of the stomach, sometimes of the lungs, sometimes of the head, nose, and throat. It is from catarrh somewhere, and catarrh is an- other name for uncleanness.,

Many men understand this, and make every effort to cure it, but it is be- yond the reach of ordinary practice.

No self-respecting man can ignore ecatarrh. If he has it im any form he makes constant effort to be rid of it.

There is something about the man- ner of life and the climate of Canada

that seems to breed diseases of the mucous membrane. Medical science ordinarily doesn’t try to cure catarrh; it “relieves” it; but Dr. Chase has been curing catarrh for over thirty

years, and hjs name is blessed by thousands who have ‘shaken off the

Ih this part of the waters we were to be thank ful for even the most trifling donation of catspaw, or for the equally small and short lived mercy of the gustof the electric cloud. I forget how many days we were out from Calcutta; the matter is of no moment. I left my cabin one morning some hour after un had risen, by which time the decks

I feel in memory as | write the exquisite sensation of that lux- ury of brilliant brine, cold as snow. melting throngh me trom head to foot to the nimble plying of the pump brake by a seaman whom I regularly employed for this job.

It was a true tr ;

uc morning. The sea, of a pale lilac,

flowed in a long drawn, gent le heave of swell into the southwest; the sea went working to its distant reaches and floated into a dim blending of liquid air nd water, so that you couldn’t tell where the skv ended; a weak, hot wind blew over the taiirail, but it was without weight. The courses swung to the swell without re- sponse to the breathings of the air, and on high the light cotton white royals were scarcely curved by the delicate passage of the draught.

Yet the bark had steerage way. When I looked through the grating at her metaled forefoot [ saw the ripples plentiful as harp- strings threading aft, and while I dried myself I watched the slow approach of a piece of timber hoary with barnacles and venerable with long hairs of seaweed, amid and arouiid which a thousand little fishes were sporting, many colored as though a rainbow had been shivered,

I returned to my cabin, dressed and step- ped on the quarter deck, where I found some men spreading the awning, and the captaim, ina white straw hat, viewing an object out upon the water through a tele- scope and talking to the boatswain, who stood alongside.

‘‘What do you see ?” I asked.

‘Something that resembles a raft,” an- swered the captain.

The thing he looked at was about a mile distant, some three points on the starboard bow. On pointing the telescope I distinctly made out the fabric of a raft, fitted with a short mast, to which, midway, a parcel was attached. A portion of the raft was cover ed by a white sheet of cloth, whence dangl- eda short length of something chocolate- colored, indistinguishable even with the glass, lifting and sinking as the raft rose and fell upon the flowing heave of the sea.

‘*‘This ocean,” said the captain, taking the glass from me, ‘‘is a big volume of tragic stories, and the artist who illustrates the book does it in that fashion,” and he nodded in the direction of the raft.

‘‘What do you make of it, boatswain ?” I asked.

“Tt looks to me,” @e answered in his strong harsh, deep voice, “‘like a religious job—one of them rafts the Burmah covies float away their dead on. I never see one afore, but I’ve heard tell of such things.”

We sneaked stealthily toward the raft. It was seven belis—half-past 7—and the sailors ate their breakfast on the forecastle, that they might view the strange contriv- ance. The mate, Dr. Perkins, came on deck to relieve the boatswain, and after inspect- ing the raft through the telescope gave it as his opinion that it was a Malay floating bier—‘‘a Mussulman trick of ocean burial, anyhow,” said he. ‘‘There should be a jar of water aboard the raft and cakes and fruit for the corpse to regale on if he ha’n’t been dead long.”

The steward announced byeakfast. The captain told him to hold it back awhele. He was as curious as I to get a close view

of the queer object, with its white cloth mast and parcel of chocclate colored frag- ment half in and half out like a barge’s lee- board, and he bade the man at the helm put the wheel over by a spoke or two, but the wind was nearly gone, the barr scarcely responded to the motion of her rudder, the threadlike lines at the cutwater had faded, and a roasting, oppressive calm was upon the water, whitening it cut into a tingling sheen of quicksilver with a fiery shaft of blinding dazzle, solitary and splendid, work. ing with the swell like some monstrous ser- pent of light under the sun.

The raft was about six cables’ lengths off when the bark came to a dead stand, with a soft, universal bellowing in of her canvas from royal to course, as though, like something sentient, she delivered one fi¢al sigh before the swoon of the calm seized her. But now we were near enough to resolve the floating thing with the naked eye into details. It was a raft formed of bamboo canes. A mast about six feet long was erected upon it; the dark thing over the edge proved a human leg, and when the fabric lifted with the swell and raised the leg clear we saw that the fgot had been eaten away by fish, a number of which were swimming about the raft, sending little flashes of foam over the pale surface as they darted along with their back or dorsal fin exposed. They were all little fish ; I saw no sharks. The body to which the leg belonged was covered by a white cloth. The captain called my attention to the parcel attached to the mast, and said that it possibly contained the food which the Malays leave beside their dead after burial.

“But let’s go to breakfast now, Mr. Barron,” said he, with a slow, reproachful, impatient look round the breathless scene of ocean. ‘‘If there's any amusement to be got out of that thing yonder there’s a pre- cious long, quiet day before us, 1 fear, for the enteriainment.”

We breakfasted, and in due course return- ed on deck. The slewing of the bark had caused the raft to shift its bearings, other- wise its distance remained as it Was when ‘we went below.

‘Mr. Perkins,” said the captain, “ower a boat and bring aboard that parcel from the raft’s jurymast, agd likewise take a peep at the figure under the cloth and report its sex and what it looks like.”

I asked leave to go in the boat, and when she was lowered, with three men in her, I followed Mr. Perkins and we rowed over to the raft. All about the frail bamboo con- trivance the water was beautiful with the colors and movements of innumerable fish. As we approached we were greeted by an evil smell. The raft seemed to have been afloat for a considerable period ; its sub- merged portion was green with marine adhesions or growths. The fellow in the bows of the boat, manceuvering with the boathook, cleverly snicked the parcel from the juryimast and handed it along to the mate, who put it beside him witlout open- ing it, for that was to be the captain's previkere. -

‘VF with that cloth,” said Mr. Perkins, ‘“‘and then back water a bit out of this.”

1 ne bowman jerked the cloth clear of the raft with his boathook ; the white sheet floated like a snowflake upon the water for a few breaths, then slowly sank. The body exposed was stark naked and tawny. wasamale. I saw nothing revolting in the thing ; it would have been otherwise per- haps had it been white. The hair was long

and black, the nose aquiline, the mouth puckered into the aspect of a hair lip, the |

gleam of a few white teeth painted a ghast- ly contemptuous grin upon the dead face. The only shocking part was the footless leg.

‘Shall I hook him overboard, sir?” said

‘the bowman.

‘‘No; let him take his ease as he lies,” answered the mate, and with that we re- turned to the bark.

We climbed over the side, the boat was hoisted to the davits, gnd Mr. Perkins took the parcel out of the stern sheets and hand- ed it to the Captain. The cover was a kind of tine canvas, very neatly stitched with white thread. Captain Cayzer ripped through the stitching with his knife, and exposed a couple of books bound in some kind of skin or parchment. They were pro- bably the Koran, but the characters none of us knew. The Captain turned them about fora bit, and 1 stood by looking at them. Hethen replaced them in their can- vas cover and put them down upon the sky- light, and by and by, on his leaving the deck. he took them below to his cabin.
