ELLEN’S DIARY
'
- Yes, James Forgot To Water The House Plants
This morning a rude din thrust itself into our usually hushed sur- roundings, into the very twilight and the sweetest of our dreams. A staccato of sound came up from the depth of the valley to shatter the stillness.
“What’s that. Ellen?" James queried, rising to a listening pos- ition on an elbow. . .We heard Balckie whine piteously at the verandah door below, begging ad- mission indoors.
“Bang. bang, bang." waht fear- some reports continued to split the quiet of the new day, born- Ing. “Oh dear“ we signed. “Dardy and Joan won‘t escape that bar- rage.”
“Darby and Joan?” James ec- hoed. .
“The pair of wild ducks in the stream."
“Oh that‘s it!” James commen—
ted, light dawning. “It‘s the hunters! If it's only a pair of wild ducks they get. it won’t mat- ter so much. I hope no stray shot gets one of the cattle. It’s no more than safe in this light to go out to see.”
“Listen to the dogs complain— ing. They’re terrified" we said. So the open hunting season of this and that game. came to our neighborhood this morning. to leave us as usual a little uneasy and somewhat forlorn. These farms and surroundings are not over-run with creatures of the wild. Only enough stay with us to provide added interest for the family, more especially for the children whose paths they may cross.
“Dis open season ob shottin’, does yo-all like it, Missis?” Papa Starling greeted us later from his roof—top.

Last Friday I found myself on board the “Fairview” bound for Rocky Point; this Friday, equal- ly and incredibly sunny and warm. before I knew it —I was aboard a strange ship!
It happened quite naturally. Walking (as I always do) with the water in sight, I spied a big ship at the railway wharf. In a matter of minutes I was delight- edly feeling the newly paved (and almost completed) r oad smooth and pleasant beneath my feet and delightedly watching the unloading on the wharf of a rosy powdery substance from the hold of the ship into the waiting truck. The driver told me it was called “Potash (because once the pro- cess of obtaining it by “lixivat- ing” wood-ashes was carried on in iron spots) and he Was taking it to the fertilizing plant near-by. WENT ON BOARD
So much for the freight carried by the strange ship — but though Lknew that her name, “Avance”

wered. This was a Norweglffi ship - under Norwegian registiy. The men were officers (the cap- tain was in town) and the crew numbered 33 all on boar: were Norwegians —- and all ccul
speak English. The ship had had a narrow escape from Hurricane “Helene” while six m1les of Cape Nonth. After unloading the potash in Charlottetown, the shit; was going on to Walton, Bay 0 Fundy, for a load of Gypsum (used in making Plaster of Fans and molds for such pottery as the “Static rdslhire” pottery.)_'l‘h15 freight they were unloading m the United States.
01“ MARRIAGE ‘ .
By this time a genuine friend- ship had developed between us, and we turned to topics of more universal concern. Marriage —- for example. The chief steward confided that he had his bride on board — this was their honey- moon trip (I met her, a shy fair young girl). What, the young man asked me, did I think the most important thing for a happy marriage? I said, “kindness” and the young man laughed as if tins was a trivial and taken for grant- ed detail! (He’ll learn how dif- ficult it can be).
The first mate, a handsome man in his late thirties (I judged) was a bachelor. What a lecture he got from me! With so many lovely girls unwed, how selfish! The oldest officer, thin and sea- soned with a sardonic smile, said he had been long married and away from home more than in it. When I am with my wife,” he
was French, I did not recognize the flag flying from her mast (more shame to me!) In my state of well-being brought on by the sunfil-led sea-air and the sparkling deep blue waters around me, there seemed nothing else to do but board the snip and find out. Not even the open-work de- tachable ladder-like long and steep stairway leading to the main deck, deterred me! Jaunt- ily (I hope) I climbed to the top and knocked at the first door —,- and walked into a room where six men set down six coffee cups and raised six pairs of startled eyes of varying shades of blue! Never had I created such a sen- sation! I had to laugh ‘— ‘and they laughed and the spell was broken.
Introductions were quickly made and I was invited to join the men in their ten o’clock cof— fee lbreak (never was coffee hot- ter, stronger, better). My few simple questions were soon ans-

said, "marriage means Iust one thing — giving in to her." L “Why?” asked the bachelor. “Of course,” said the bridegroom.
