“EVERYWHERE, BUT Gent Mariners Castaway on g Oatmeal Island: MUSH ONLY ON MENU. And When Capt. Bevan and Engineer Anderson Tell It, Who Should Doubt? Qaal eating contests in which men wagered that Rey would eat a quail a (ay for forty days used to be of fre- went occurrence. The eating day after! dey ef the quail soon ceased to be a! pleasure and later became a torment. If} {alle to record the fact. But there a1 two seamen now in the port of New York who went the quail-eating stunt «ne better. These men were reunited last Saterddy after a separation of more thas five years, eo the gourmandish tale te unfoide Capt. W. H. Bevan and Chie¢ En- tineer J, W.

Bevan took command of the Al- mirante last Saturday. When he came aboard the first person he met was the ineer, whom he had not seen Porridge days. For the Bomething ever five years ago Capt.

We dragged it up on the Leach and broke it open. It contained vatmeal, pounds and pounds of tho stuff; qmeough to have fed the crew of the Qaprey for a month, Well, that was vomething at Jeast, and as we had raatohes, tin pans and plenty of wood we Gecided we'd have to eat porrige. island in the world than the one on across a spring and found a eave where we could roost in some comfort, OF DIET. “Well, we settled down to await the coming of @ ship to take us off. We kept consoling ourselves with the thought of 90 much oatmeal. Not more tham three days clapsed before we be- wan to wish for somehting else to and after a week the thought of eating ‘ecame painful. It was porridge in the morning, porridge at noon and porridze ut night. To vary the monotony of the let we tried qoking the stuff in vari- ows ways, At one meal we would boil the mess, at the next wo made it thick and filed It and finally as a change we found ougselves eating It raw. ‘As the days passed our condition be- ‘ame worse, We dreamed of oatmeal by night and bx day. Once Anderson dis- covered a few shell fish and we ban- quetted like the gods, Then we went hack to porrige. The thought of oatmeal #o nauseated us finally that we took turns cooking the meals and then we took to calling the mess by various names and working our tmagination to the straining point, “Anderson would yell to me that din- ver was ready, ‘We're going to h ommed beef and cabbage to-day,’ he would say, and then we'd alt down and (i ourselves with porridge. Then for faye we'd go along without eating at all until, ome with starvation, we'd out on a of the cursed stuff, ‘eyes and swallow it mechanically.

If the medico hadn't ducked he'd have gone down for the count. “Anderson and I went to different ships after that experience and we haven't touched oatmeal since!’ “Let's change the subject,” put in the chief engineer, “I'in beginning to feel qualmieh.” eee GET HABEAS CORPUS WRIT.
