It Is the w r i t e r ' s pleasure to waste time sailing

think.
Upon looking out at the .black woolly
wall of fog that surrounded him. he distinctly
heard bis own n a m e hailed across the water.
No othur c i a f t was near. T h i s struck him a s being so peculiar that he mentioned It to a friend
