Sometimes I had luck, other | times I found nothing. But I was persistent and determined. When- ever I started from home my col- lection, small though it was, was | always p: of the baggage. I treat- i“‘l the stamps with the same care I clothing and never |lost the chance of picking up new ones. The idea occurred to me one day that I would make my collection inique in that I would never buy one but would have in my album those given to me by friends or received om letters from various parts of the world. Today my col- «, .. One of my hobbies has filled our house with lamps . . .” sn is an expensive pastime.

I was a youngster in Jorcester. T went into the post ‘ffice one day and picked up sev- cal letters bearing postage stamps ‘hich had been thrown away. ‘hére was a certain appeal to me bout a postage stamp. Its colors nd designs intrigued me, but even reater than that was the thought jat the stamp had traveled. The | lea of adventure in travel, even "‘fl‘,‘“h it was such an ianimate 1 i lection, numbers about 12,000 dif- ferent specimens, some of them un- doubtedly of value. For a time in my early service !T collected coins, but ‘that proved |too expensive. Every coin added | meant the saving of a correspond- |ing amount in United States” cur- rency and before I got very far in a foreign port I had several dol- |lars worth of coins and no money for sightseeing or entertainment. cause they were heavy. After I had established a home I did what I suppose every mar- ried man will do—brought home presents for my wife. I bought a Chinese bronze lamp that seemed to please Mrs. Fried, who liked lamps so much that I decided to get others. To this I have added an English barn lantern, a French one of wrought iron, one of Italian made in bronze and a2 German ma- hogany {loor lamp. Each lamp is distinctive of the country it represents and because of the di- versity in design the group is in- teresting as well from an artistic standpoint. ~ For the time being, however, I have ecnough lamps in the house. As far back as I can remember every vessel on which I shipped, had pets. Seamen have a fondness among landsmen. Perhaps a pet of one kind or another takes away the loneliness that a seaman some- times experiences. Pets on ship- board are given every considera- tion and, when a vessel gets in trouble and it is necessary to aban- don ship, the birds or animals are taken along if the men are saved, sometimes at great risk. While on the Bremen run our ship often brought thousands of canaries from Germany, as well as other valuable birds. After I had my own quarters I always had a canary to cheer up my room and of course, took some birds home, These little fellows are wonderful companions. The Hartz Mountain canary is particularly vivacious and chirps away the greater part of the day and will liven up any one's spirits. One bird that was a prize was a red-headed bull finch that al- | ways greeted me vociferously when [t returned home from a voyage. The little fellow seemed to sense when I was scheduled to return, Most of the time he flew around day I came home and when Mrs. Fried opened the door, I saw tears strcaming down her cheeks. The little fellow was in her hand. I watched him making one last des- perate effort to chirp. I took him and rubbed his soft feathered back. came still forever. come so attached to him. On the next voyage I brought canary home. Marine paintings naturally have | a fascination for me and I have about 25 small ones in my home| that I have collected in various' parts of the globe. One which I prize very highly is Duparc's im-! pressions of the foundering of the British freighter Antinoe, with the President Roosevelt standing by | as the crew was being rescued.
