The first night we put up at Mary Joserpiis, a pretty little bar- bour between Liscomb and Country Harbour. We left next a.m.. passing through the Canso Straights and tied up at Cape George, the 21st, at 5 pm. A breakwater offers the only sheltered here.

Could not get my big arm under the bedding to turn the valve to drain it. and I did not fancy running on ice shore under sail a place I never saw before, so I made sail to go back to Cape George and on peaking up the foresail the fore peak block maus- ing broke and down came the gaff while the block went to the mast- hcad and I sat on deck dangerous- ly near the side.

The boat was dancing lively now due to a strong current running west throught the straits of Caiiso and against a freshening west wind.

True Success story

I! F. H. DlacArthIIl'

The story of George Stephen-, sons early struggles and final triumph is a success story that can be told and retold without los- IIIE any of its punch. Invention of the railway steam-engine and the miners safety-lamp gave Slkllhenson a place among the world's great men.

It was tough going. however, in the days when this young chap worked long hours for only twelve shillings a week. To add to his cup of troubles. he could neither

This success led to Stephenson's being called upon to build a rail- road between Liverpool and Man- chester. It was not carried out, however. without angry outbursts from many great men of that day, who put forth the silliesi protests, claiming the thing would burn up the country and that the smoke

from it would poison all the live- stock for miles around.

The papers were as bad as the worst critics for without excep- tion, they all wrote against George ”tephenson and his brainy child. "You might as well expect people to let themselves be fired off on rockets as trust themselves to steam-engines," was lhe way one paper put it.

Stephenson, however. had more advanced ideas than any of his liecitlers and he made a fortune

successful than he had been. Success did not swell Siephen- son's head and while he continued

Just when his cup of happiness seemed to be overflowing. Death stepped into that humble home and departed with George's wife. Completely discouraged by this sad turn in his fortunes, young Stephenson set out for Scotland, where he landed a job and man. aged to save 5140.00 in one year. He loved his baby too much to stay away longer, so he turned his footsteps homeward only to find that an unfortunate accident had made his father blind. As' inatiers now stood, he was obliged to support both his parents - an added responsibility - which greatly hindered his life's work. Indeed so great were his trou- bles that he sat down' and wept. Pulling himself togethe . however, he soon buried himself in work, this tim digging coal at Killings- worth ' olliery. not far from his home. When George saw the feeble little steam-engine laboring in vain to pump the pit dry, he offer- ed to fix it. He took it apart, made a few alterations here and there. and then set it going like a new machine. For this service. the company rewarded him by placing all the machinery at the colliery under his charge. Next he built a steam-engine to move un- der its own power on rails in the pit. This venture proved so suc- cessful ihat the company was able to cut down their horses from a hundred to fifteen. 0 O O
