A LITTLE SHIP WITH A BIG RECORD. Which ia the smallest ship tllfct orosaea the Atlantic? W£Bf she has reoemtly arrived lathe Thames sifter & very stormy voy»g». Before this trip &b« bad nutdto bee usual journey upthe Labrador coast, for upon this ■hip (he lives of several small communities. Her asime is the Harmony, Mud sh#' is owned: by the Moravian Missionary Society, Every June she starts out lro>xn. Loadoa cud baittlea her way aexoes' th» Atlantic, taking food: »"«* the necessities of life to iheieeiUeueats of MeJtloxvik, Hopedalo, . Nain, HobrCT») «ad KilHivek, thai strange spot when summer last* only six weeka. ' ■ She is an old whalar of 200 too* boron, with exudUsxy iteßis, but. iba mositly ittkos the journey etiaigiht to Labrador under Mil. When I crossed ia tar (in ordaar to win early in Labrador for parpowie of shooting) ■he lay for eight days within sight of the coast of Ireltfnd, and took in all five wafeka and two days to find her way across the two thousand odd that aepamte' London froift Hopedale. She often tskee loader, for it is rare- that on her outward journey she is not beset by th© ice ae ihe approaches the Labrador coast. . ■ Her captain, .one of the fiu<est ice nuon of. oar time, has spent many years of his life in taking cargo after, cargo up the mqet dangerous coast in the world. Sometimes for days Captaiis Jackson will find his way "by smell," as they say, through the fogs and up the cords and channels, or "tickles," of that most rocky coast. He is far safer indeed if he trusts to his own instinct than if ha uaea what charts there are.

When I was on board, be w.m steaming for onoe by the chart, and the consequence was he struck a hidden reef ami oarried away a great part of the forefoot of Jus vessel. Any other vessel would have sucfe,, bat' the Harmony is oft of solid oalc,'ind she made Nam, and w»s patched up th* Eskimos and carried out her journey triumphantly. The arrival of "the Harmony is always a great dsay in Labrador, where the ■ettlsmen.'U h«T« been without new* for maaqr' weary of winter. The manumit an. Eskimo •eea the ririp be fires off his gun, and I tinues to fire it «8 until all his ammunition is expended. ' OoW out, the Harmony carries, as I have ■aid, tna asoessitiss of life icit ths Vtikfwn Mission. Coming back, her cargo is mads up purely of what the hunter can wia from the country. Many a'Sn« Muck fox, worth aa much as 800 dollsn, has hon» in the old Harmony. Wbito foxes, mink, wolf sikins. the antlers of stapi; aoch is her cargo on her return.
