Nevertheless, they were rery much human beings when they found themselves mile out to sea adrift in an open boat With two days' supply of food and water, they confidently expected to be rescued in plenty of time.

Late in the afternoon of the fifth day a tramp schooner saw their dis- tress signals and came valiantly to the rescue. 'The only thing that kept us going at all was tobacco," one of the survi vors admitted when he was safely deposited on dry land again. "We smoked - and chewed, and that sort of kept us up." Tobacco is cer tainly a poor substitute for food and water but under the stress of trying circumstances Pipes filled with Edgeworth probably have no more soothing effect than pipes filled with other tobaccos, but most Edgeworth smokers somehow feel that they need Edgeworth to . get complete pipe satisfaction, If you have never smoked Edge-wortsend your name and address on a postcard to Larus & Brother Company.
