FREDERICK. San Francisco, May fthe sea, with its hero a 19-yenr- old boy, has come sailing through the Golden Gate aboard the schooner S. N. Castle. Eighty-seven days the Castle was buffeting seas from Sydney, Australia.

Eighty-seven days of adventure, hardship and peril they were. And wli'en slie reached here tlie boy Daniel was second in command. A few months befoi'o he had sailed from his home in A'an- couver, B. as a seaman. Since early boyhood.

Blacliie had felt the- cnll of the-sen. And just; before the Castle set forth on her la.st trip, Blaeliie answered that rail. He expected to be liome again after a short voyage. Caiitalii and Mate DisasrcM-. But shortly after the Castle cleared, friction developed between the first mate and Captain AVerner Reinhart.

The climax came in Suva, a South Sea island port. The first niate was discl-iui'ged. Then the second mate became ill, and he, too, was left behind. Blackie was named fii-st niatc. With the orew, it was ji popular And witli the skipper the lad's brawn was ample assurance all orders would be obeyed promptly.

Then came the storm. And then the leak. "We struck a calm, but move out fo'r a month," related Blackie. "But we couldn't stop tlie leak, and our food began to run low. "With three feet of water in our hold, a terrific gale struck us.

For 30 days more we had to take turns at the pumps. "Our rations were down to two servings of hot cakes a day. AVe had a pig on board, but he wivs our mascot, and there wasn't a man on the Castle who wouldn't have starved rather than kill him." Ci-ew Ten Story. Followed then a chapter which Blackie modestly refrains from telling. Other member.s of the crew, however, do not hesitate to tnllc about it.

'I'lve storm was at Its height when the forosail and mansail blew away. Going aloft and repairing the damage was all that could save the ship. But it was a hazardous job. Blackie, though, did not falter. N'or did he for volunteers.

He climbed up in the hurricane's teeth, did what work was possible, then returned to be a landlubber until 1 fee! the ball again," Blackie says. "Then I guess I'll go back to the sea. "But what I want most in all the world right now is a batch of good square meals."
