ROUGH SEA ON COAST
SKIPPER TREATS CREW
GENEROUSLY
The sea had been very rough and a small vessel well known on the Gisborne waterfront was working the coastal bays. The men got wet through at Tokomaru and changed just before reaching Tolaga, where the same experience befell them. At length the work was finished and the little craft turned her nose towards Gisbome. Then the skipper, well pleased with the day's work, told the men to come into the cabin "and tyo'll splice the main brace." Needless to say, there was a rush, and visions Of a good stiff tot of! rum arose as the skipper sent to the galley for a_ kettle of hot water, while the men waited in joyful anticipation. The i the skipper opened his locker and With a sinile produced a bottle of Bramwell's One Nought One. "That's the stuff, boys," ho said, as he carefully measured out a teaspoonfitl, and added the hot water. "It keeps the cold out and will do yon the world of good." The disappointed crew solomnlv took a dose each and theft retired silently. In the forecastle, however, their language about the "old man" was painfully free. However, none of the men caught cold that trip, despite the soaking. This story was recalled of an old senl'arer on Saturday. One Nought One is a wonderful elixir, and for relieving coughs, colds, influenza and all chest ailments has no superior. It also acts as a tonic to the system. Fourfold the strength of the usual elixir and yet only half-a-crown a bottle, it is no wonder its sales are increasing weekly. It may be purchased at all leading stores and also at Bramwell's Pharmacy in Gladstone road.*
