for tourists rising higher find
sweeping southward. beginning with
the older people in October and No-
vember and reaching its flood in Jan-
uary and February, when the world of
fashion makes its annual pilgrimage.
This tide ebbs more slowly than it did
a decade ago—March finds many new
arrivals in the winter resorts. but in
that month it turns and the ebb be-
gins. .
A comparatively small part of the
sojourners in winter resorts are fash-
ionables on dress parade: but what
they wear is considered of first im-
portance. because the qtyles they favor
are guide posts for designers of spring
apparel. New ldehs. from high and
authoritative sources. have their try-
outs in the fashionable resorts. and
many smart shops are on the ground
to supply the wants of those who
make decisions after they arrive.
Among the _ utiful things. made

been trained to discriminate" there are
such splendid lingerie dresses as that

Y father designed me for the
law. but I would be satisfied
only with going, to sea. and
being one day at Hull and one of my
companions about to go by sea to Lon-
don in his father’s ship. nothing Would
serve me but I must go witnhlmnthis
on September 8. 1651. and I being then
nineteen years or age. ‘
The ship was no sooner out of port
than the wind began to blow and the
sea to rise in the most frightful man~
her. which made me most terribly sick
in body and frightened in mind. In
my agony I vowed that if God would
spare me through this one voyage I
would go. immediately I set foot on
land, directlyhome to my 300d par-
ents and be ever after guided in my
conduct by their advice.
But next day the wind was abated
and the sea calmer. and the sun went
down to a perfectly fine evening. and
when to that was added a bowl of
punch made by a shipmate. I forgot my
resolution to return home after the
voyage; and such has been my habit.
to my great misfortune. all my life:
to disvow in the hour of peril the
headstrong actions which have brought
me to peril. and when the danger is
past to forget all vows and plunge
headlong once more on my needless
courses.
Various were my adventures after
that first tempestuous voyage. Trad-
ing to Guinea in Africa I was can
tured by a Turkish rover and sold into
slavery. from whence after many
11 set myself up for a sugar planter
’nnd ms enjoying a fine prosperity
thereat. when I fell a victim to temp-
tation. Help being scarce in the Bra-
sils and some planters there knowing
that I had traded with the slave coasts
of Africa. they beguiled me into a voy-
age to those parts with the intent to
secure slave labor for our plantations.
Only evil does ever come of evil
counsel. Our ship was wrecked on
an unknown island off to the northeast
coast of South America. and of all the
iship's company I alone. by the bless-
‘ing of God, was allowed to escape
through the high surf to the shore.
All I possessed at the time was a knife.
.a pipe and a little tobacco in a box.
Walking along the shore. when I had
recovered sufficiently in strength so to
walk. I found fresh water. a great Joy.
Having drunk and put a little. tobacco

We built a bout. this time not too far ‘
from the sea for launching. and were‘
almost ready to set sail when 21 sav- 3

island with three prisoners for a feast. i
One of the prisoners was a white man.

I had taken some 1.200 pieces of gold.
but of which I made small account
because of its being of less value to
me than so much sand of the beach.

After twenty-eight years. two months

England. but I was like a stranger
there. My mother and father were
both dead, which was unfortunate. as
I could Jiave been of oat service to
them; for besides the 1,200 pieces of
gold from the Spanish ship, there was
