ABAFT THE BINNACLE, j TALES BY A SOU' WESTER. "I stayed long enough with the Great Eastern to go fthe taial trip proper," con- tinued Adam, who it will be remembered, as we recounted in our last, told the story of the accidenti which occurred off Hast- ings. "Although many people had booked for this trip to Holyhead from Portland, the management decided not to allow any pas- sengers on this trip, and I don't think the crew generally were sorry. I know I wasn't. "Iib was somewhat exciting that run to Holyhead, because nobody knew just exactly what might or might not happen. It took us 40 hours, our average speed being 13 knots. The greatest care was re- quired getting away from Portland har- bour into the channel; but once in the open we were comfortable, and although we went through a fair sea she barely rolled. Getting inside Holyhead break- water was a bit of r.cklish work, but, Capt. Harrison worked it finely, and we did not forget to toast him later on. "We were saluted by H.M.S. "Hast- ings" and the "Dapper" gunboat, both of which vessels were at anchor inside the harbour awaiting the visit of the Queen. "It was a strange coincidence that as we entered the harbour the "Princess Victoria," a first-class steamer, under the command of Captain John Harrison, brother of *our skipper, was seen beating up channel on her outward voyage from Liverpool. "I forget now how many visitors came on board to inspect us, including royalty, but excursion trains came from all parts of the country, and Holyhead did a fine' trade as far as the cook-shops were con- cerned. "Prince Consort and Prince Napoleon were amongst the distinguished early visittors. "It was a good harvest for the crew, and we wished—well I know I did—that our skipper could accept the many invita- tions from other harbour towns that, wanted us badly to pay them a visit. It was just one of those occasions that only come once in a lifetime, and, well I made a nice little pile. "You all heard of the wreck of the "Royal Charter" close to Puffin Island; well the Great Eastern had a narrow escape of being blown on shore in Holy- head Harbour by the same gale. "The weather had been, unsettled for some! days, and though the morning of Tuesday, October 24th, was calm, the ominous haze that, spread over the Welsh mountains (my geography is a bit weak or I could tell you the names) and the fall- ing biaromeitetr, gave some warning! of the comling storm. "The fires on board the Great Eastern were banked up in order that we might be ready to, steam out to sea if necessary, and Captain Harrison kept on deck watching the cables and sounding, to see if the ves- sel dragged as the wind and sea rose. About ten o'clock the rain set in like a second deluge. Each gUSlt, of wind seemed longer and worse than the last, striking down on us like a blow from a, hammer, testing everything an the way of masts and rigging to the very utmost without i C, 0 something giving away. But in spite of all the Great Elastern rode, steadily and lightly head to wind, and without per- ceptible motion, though a fierce sea was now rolling in, and we could see by the rapidly moving lights among the other shipping far inside the harbour, that they were dipping to it heavily and making the worst of their bad weather. We did everything we could, and there was noth- ing left, but to hold on, and wait for day- light, this latt,er the Captain did most, devoutly, for the wind almost, equalled the force of a hurricane at times, jerking at, the masts as if it would snapi them off at the decks, and making the Great Eastern tremble perceptibly throughout her length and breadth, as if some giant, hand was shaking her. The gale increased in violence until between two and three Wed- nesday morning, when the din was ap- palling, and the rain and hail, driving like shot, made it difficult to> face, and had motor drivers' masks been in fashion at that time they would have been very welcome. The gusts of wind, liadened with hail, became so violent that we all made for shelter, none of us could stand it. W ecould hear the waves heating on the rocks and breakwater like distant, thunder, and the darkness was impene- trable. "At 4 o'clock ia sharp and wistful look out was kept for the light in the break- water, for it. was evident if the gale con- tinued much longer we should have to run out to sea. Two anchors were down, one seven tons, with eight fathoms of chatn, on the statrboard bow, and one of three tons and a half, with sixty fathoms, to port. "At last, after a most exciting and anxious night, the dawn broke, but it was difficult to see where the sea ended and the clouds began. Towards 9 o'clock the wind went right round to the north- east, sending in a beam swell, and now we began to roll heavily. Our position be- came much more seirlious, and at 10 o'clock our skipper had no alternative but to try and raise the heaviest anchor, get our head more under the lee of the breakwater and then let ift go again. With great difficulty she was brought, up to her star- boiard anchor. Before the screw could well get into play it was fouled, and had to be stopped. Directly this happened the steam from the screw boilers was let, into the paddle-engines, which in turn went ahead until the prapellor was free and able to work again. "By this time we had partly swung. into a beam sea, which was then sweeping over and past the breakwater with awful force, and we Ibegan to roll quickly and heavily. In spite of the relief afforded by the screw, the cable of the remaining anchor kept, tautening more and more, and about 10-30 it snapped like a cord and we were adrift, rolling and tumbling like a drunken ship towards shore. The second anchor was let, go, and the screw moved ahead, but the vessel had great way on her, and could not be easily stopped on what looked her road to destruction. At last she brought up, though she made desperate efforts to break from the grip of her new halding tugging and rolling to her chain as though she would pull up a, mountain. Fortunately we held, and after one or two more attempts to break away, her head swung round, and we rode to the gale as before. This was about 12, o'clock, and from that hour the glass begia,n to risei and the worst of the gale was passed and danger was over. "I have never had a more narrow squeak of being wrecked in a harbour, and I don't want such another experience," said Adam. He also told us ere he, left off yarning that shortly after he left the Great Eastern, having met with an old ship- mate, Who promised him a good billet, in a lesser ship it, was true, but better pay. This ship-mate; he incidentally remarked, was one with whom he had .at one time joined in the exciting pastime of Free. Trade or Smuggling, of which he promised to tell us something on another occasion.

FOOTBALL. L'LANDUDNO AMATEURS; BEAT THE LEAGUE; OHAJYlPIONH. The League Champions (the North Wales Coast League) came down from Bangor on Saturday to the Oounc.il Field deter- mined to carry away two valuable, league points and leave the Amateurs to mourii their loss. The Bangorians had come and conquered so many times within the past few years that, some of the older players imagined they had only to set, foot on the field of play, and the match was as good as won. To make assurance doubly sure players from the College had been drafted into the team, including Will Arnold, a son of Mr Win. Arnold. No matter how well the Amateurs played against their old opponents they never seemed able to rise to the occasion when the pinch came-, but at the same time they were on several occasions extremely unlucky in being beaten. With such a good record it would ha.ve been surprising if the Bangorians had not been confident of winning, especially as the day was one which quite suited their style of play. < Many matches have the Bangorians won at Llandudno—not always against the Amateurs—when half a, gale of wind was blowing across the field. There is no denying the fact, that their defence is a strong one, and not too scrupulous. They have no qualms of conscience when hard press at kicking the ball deliberately out of play, and they had done that, so often at Llandudno, that they really thought they had nothing more to learn. When confronted with conditions like those of Saturday it has invariably been theitr rule once in possession of the lead to play for the touch line, and with their powerful defence invariably succeeded in keeping their lead to the end. As already stated the visitors thought they had little to learn in the art of de- fending against an oblique wind, but. they had, and the last lesson was administered to them on Saturday by the Amateurs. The game was by no means a, brilliant one, and would have been rather monotonous in the second half had not the spectators being anxious to see the Bangorians paid back in their own coin. The Amateurs had the advantage of the strong cross wind in the first half, but were only able to score once, Jacob Williams heading through from a beautifully placed corner kick, after about half-an-hour's play. They should have scored a few minutes' earlier from another well-placed corner,, but the hall was handled by one of the visitors and a penalty kick was granted the Amateurs. J. E. Williams took the kick, but sent, the hall against the cross bar, and it was cleared. He. nearly made amends for this a few minutes later, when from a difficult range he sent a rasper against the cross-bar, which was by far the best shot of the day. Although they failed to score the Amateurs' forward line went about, their work in a business-like manner, and made much greater use of their left wing than the visitors did when ends were changed. Consequently the attacks all spelt danger to the Bangor catadel, and it, was real hard luck only to turn round with the lead of a single goal. Credit, must, how- ever, be given to Will Owen, the Bangor custodian, for some smart saves. Towards the end of the half the visitors made one or two dangerous sallies in which the right wing and centre-forward were conspicuous, but they were beaten back, without Lunt being very seriously tested. After coffee had been handed round to the players the game was resumed. The wind was gradually gettring more boisterous, and it was acknowledged that the Amateurs' chances of winning were very small. The visitors opened in pro- mising style, and the ball was kept in dangerous proximity to the home citadel. Several shots were sent, in from the left wing which were not quite straight enough, but it was evident, the Bangorians were getteing the range and things looked ominous for the Amateurs. J. H. Jones, Lunt and company then tumbled to the situation, and the danger of allowing the j ball too often to the. left wing, and from that point play was kept on the right, the backs finding touch time after time. Certainly Ith81 game was rather monotonous, but it was interesting to watch the Amateurs' backs foil all attempts of the j visitors to, bring the left into play. They succeedied, and the dangerous wing was to all intents and purposes put out of action. It was seldom that the homesters crossed the half-way line, and then only when Jimmy Williams made- a spurt, generally the half-way line, and then only when Jimmy Williams made- a spurt, generally I nipped in the, bud by Hwfa, Williams. Goals, however, were not needed as long as the visitors were kept from scoring, j and to secure this the backs and half-backs worked hard and worked well. Minute after minute slipped by, and, still Bangor were being beaten at their own game, and had to retire defeated and out-generalled, lit It may be said that the Amateurs were lucky to win, but that would not be the .correct view to take. They were unlucky in not having1 more goals to their credit at the end of the, first portion of the game. On thei other hand, not, one of the saves made by Porter in the Amateurs' goal could, be set down as a fluke, for he had a clear sight of every shot which, came his way, and was never flurried or bustled. For this of course praise is due to, the other divisions of the defence, and seldom if ever has the Bangor attack been so ? completely broken up as on this occasion. "J. H. Lunt., "Jay," G: Davies, and Pearson, in their own particular styles, were here, there and! everywhere, and effectively frustrated the well-meant efforts of their opponents. It wa,s not a day on which the forwards might be ex- pected to shine, for the wind was too much in evidence. During the first half the quintette, however, gave glimpses of their ability and worked1 the attack much more scientificially than did their opponents in the second. The pick of the bunch werei J. EI. Williams, Jimmy Wil- liams and Brown. The team was:—A. Porter (goal), J. Lunt and J. H. Jones (backs), J. Wil- liams,, G. Davies, and H. Pearson (half- backs), Jimmy Williams, Jack Brown, J. E. Williams, Brookes Elvans, and W. D. Williams, forwards. Referee, Mr Tom Jones, Holywell. This afternoon the team will pay a, visit to Denbigh on the, League tournament, and the following Saturday the same club will meet, on the Council Field in the ,u Welsh Amateur Cup Conipethion. The Amateurs Reserve team played a friendly wih Talybont on the latter's ground on Saturday last. With the ad- vantage of the w)inid in the first. half the Amateurs scored five goals, but were, un- able. to prevent the opponents from scor- ing a like number after change of ends, the game consequently ending in a draw. &

LLANRWISIT1 WOR.KHOU SEI. "AN IDEAL HAVEN OF REST." At the Lla,nrwst Board, of Guardians on Tuesday the Rev. J. LI. Richards, vicar of Dolwyddelen, drew attention to the disparaging terms used by a member of the Board at the previous meeting in regard to the workhouse. If such statements were left unchallenged a' false impression would be conveyed to the public. Members should exercise care in weighing1 their words before they were uttered, as many an idle word might have a. far-reaching effect. Even the poorest people had access to the press and read with avidity any sentiment antagonistic to the workhouse. The effect of the reverend member's words was already palpable, as the relieving: offi- cers were experiencing: considerable, diffi- culty in persuading suitable cases to enter the house, although it was well known to be the best equipped in the country and an ideal haven of rest to those in poor cir- cumstances who had attained an age which required rest and repose.—(Hear, hear.)

WELSH AUTHOR'S DISAPPEARANCE Mr Christmas Jones, a well-known Welsh author, left his home at Pontypridd on Monday morning, and 1 ate in the after- noon a letter from him, posted at Cardiff, was received by his eldest daughter, Mrs Hill, of Cardiff. In this letter, which covered nearly three pages of foolscap, Mr Jones expressed his intention of ending his life by jumping into the Glamorgan- shire Canal at, Cardiff or into the sea off Penarth Piier. He gave detailed in- structions as to the. disposal of the copy- right of his works and his funeral arrange- ments. This is the last that ha,s been heard of him. His family had no know- ledge of any financial difficulty, and they communicated with the police. A native of Carnarvonshire, Mr Jones settled in Cardiff a few yearsmgo and founded the Cymry Fydd (Young Wales) Society there. As secretary of that organ- isation he became acquainted with the leading politicians of the Principality. He removed to Pontypridd a, few years ago, and became the manager of a local news- paper. Three months ago he brought out in Welsh a shilling volume of the Life of Mr Lloyd-George, but his venture was forestalled.
