THE ANTENNA. 21 lasted with little intermission for five days. . At the end of that time it began to clear up, and when the danger was past we realized that we had lost two men overboard. But there was no help for them and we put in for repairs. At the end of two weeks we again set sail. On this voyage we tried a little of Barker, but we soon found that it was one of those things that the less we have of it the better we are satisfied. There was nothing worth} of note in the early part of the voyage, and the anchor was dropped for a week in April. After that, while congratulating ourselves on the state of the wind and weather, little knowing what was ahead, in the middle of May we nar¬ rowly escaped a total wreck by running on Sturm’s rock, but by a little maneuvering we were soon in deep water again. And now, somewhat hardened by experience, we look ahead with considerable calmness at the approaching “Line gale.’ '
