childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Mather. Il¬

papers ever presented to Forest and Stream readers.

a shore boat between eleven and twelve o’clock 
to take us up the coast tit Pisagua. How be 
was going to do this l could not see, for there 
was a guard ashore that allowed no boat to 
leave or land at the pier or on the beach after 
sunset; and there was no other place where it 
was possible for a boat to land except on this 
strip of beach. The signal was to be three 
matches struck in succession, the last dropped 
burning into the water. 
So about ten o’clock we stole one by one 
into the fo’castle, packed our clothes bags and 
put on our best clothes to run away in. 
Quickly but noiselessly we worked in our stock¬ 
ing feet, leaving our shoes until the last. The 
lantern burned low in the fo’castle when it came 
my turn, and I stole noiselessly in there; the 
three sleeping forms in the bunks snored peace¬ 
fully on. sometimes giving a restless grunt that 
sent my heart into my throat for fear it was 
the mate looking in the door at me. One look 
would have been enough, for I had on my best 
clothes and the ready packed hags and deserted 
hunks told their own tales. 
But all went well, each man packed his clothes 
and lay down again to wait for the boat. Slowly 
the time dragged on. according to the small 
watch I carried, until eleven o'clock. Then I 
climbed. over the bows to watch for the boat 
and be ready to strike the matches where 
the bows would screen me, so no one aft could 
see the glare of them. Joe stuck his head over 
the rail every little while, to see if I had seen 
anything yet, but nothing happened until just 
about half past eleven, and then, when Joe and 
I began to think we were to be disappointed 
and were discussing the advisability of going 
back to our bunks, a faint object was seen 
moving across the bows; we both grabbed each 
other in breathless excitement. It was the boat, 
sure enough, and as soon as we were certain 
of it. Joe scurried back to arouse the others, 
for every one but us two had fallen sound asleep. 
The boat crept slowly across our hows until 
just ahead, and then - it stopped and a faint 
spark appeared for a moment, followed by a 
second and a third that dropped burning into 
the water. 
I could almost hear my heart beat as I struck 
the matches in answer to this signal, for on 
came the boat straight for us. I was down on 
the head rigging, when the boat came under 
the bows, and made out four men in her—two 
rowing and two in the stern. One of the two 
in the stern whispered up, “Is all right?” 
“Yes,” I answered, “stand by for our bags.” 
But just then a large swell ran under the bark, 
and the boat, settling down as it rolled on, came 
across the chain cable and was nearly capsized. 
The gratings of the cable and rattling of oars 
gave me another fright, for the night was still 
as death itself. The two men in the stern of the 
boat muttered some curses in Spanish for the 
boatmen having allowed the boat to get across
