My first husband was a sailor and was lost. I haven't heard from him for five years. I'll go to Portland, too.

His clothes would drop off him if it wasn’t for me."” The next morning Mr. Perky asked the captain to give him a job. into the and Mr. that TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA, JULY 31, | mind me of good times.” | Ruth,” | premely bored and succeeded so well | | in the face of what might be called ! “I haven't any job to give you,” said the skipper. “You're a passen- ger and we're fully manned.” “I want to sit on those cross sticks and try to discover something” in- sisted Mr. Perky, pointing to the cross-trees, “What would you discover?” asked the skipper. “Oh, wrecks, said Mr. Perky.
