Marry Kemp Saw tht War ill China ai
a Tramp.
. A dispatch from New York to the
Washington Star m )>: There
dropped from a {night train in Ar«
lington, X. J., a buy of 18, who,since
he left hi* home here, 14 month* ago,
has traveled on an original capital of
50 cent around the world a.- tramp,
stowaway and w orker. He forced his
way to the forefront of the lighting
in China, was shot at in the Philip*
pines and underwent a variety of ad-
venture in other parts of the globe.
He is Harry Kemp, who left Arling-
ton a high school graduate, who had
distinguished himself in Knglishand
Latin, and has returned a bronzed,
manly-looking adventurer, content to
settle dow n to the comparatively hum-
drum life in that city, lie i> the .-on
of W. E. Kemp, a pmminet re-i dent.
Harry embarked Man h SÍÍ). l! oo,
Hi 1 he iVsta/.olli. bound for a South
American port hi a cabin boy. The
ship went from South America to
Sydney, Australia, where, tired by
the long voyage. Harry deserted, By
di .-erting lu lorfcilttl his wages, but
on tlu maxim that a fair exchange is
no robbery, he appropriated the.at-
tains revolver and a carving knife.
After a short stay in Sydney, during
which he traveled much through the
surrounding country, Kemp learned
of the Boxer outbreak in China, lie
immediately became a stowaway in
the Maori King, bound for Taku w ith
*a cargo of cattle. He was found and
put to work, having several narrow
escapes from the horns am! hoofs of
the Australian steers.
At Taku the Maori King was halt-
ed by the blockade of tin- pow ers and
compelled to unload its cargo into
lighters. Determined to reach China
a\ any cost, the boy with considerable
difficulty boa pled one of the lighter
and again hid, this time without dis-
co wry.
He reached Tientsin and Peking
in time to witness the looting of those
cities.
All the food and store- were under
military guard, and after existing
without food at Peking for tluee <iays
the youthful globe trotter went to
an American officer and made know n
his condition. He was furnished with
food and got employment on a st^am
launch at #40a month. Soon tiring of
this. Harry drew two weeks' salary
due him and returned to Tientsin.
He was undecided where to go.
when he saw a company of marine-
marching to the Fnited States battle-
ship Indiana, which had been ordered
'to Manila. Kemp followed them.and
hid away in the hold. Being found
bv one of the officers, he was set to
work at odd pain ting jobs.
Kemp stayed at Manila a month
or more, seeing much of the life of
the Filipinos. On one occasion he
was fired upon from ambush by rob-
bers. or ladrones, as they are known
in the island, and barely escaped with
his life. Availing himself of a good
chance, Kemp hid on a Cnited States
transport, and soon landed at Nagasa-
ki, J a pa if. He there obtained a {*><
•ilion a* a waiter in a hotel and after
an accident he was discharged, lie
next spent several days in a pleasure
trip around Japan, and then became
a stowaway on a Cnited States trans-
port that later landed him in 8an
Francisco.
Kt nip walked to Ix s Angeh , flfwi
miles, and afterward "jumped"
freight trains to come east. He rode
through Arizona and New Mexico,
and was in Beaumont, Te*., during
the oil boom.

Pace Death Daily.
The most arduous and the most
dangerous duty pi i formed by em-
ploye of the Fii/.vd States govern-
nu ut i that of the officers and crew of
the lightship on the Diamond Shoals,
which extend about 1U miles into the
ocean off Cape Hatteras, directly in
the path of vc eU bound betwci n the
northern and southern ports of the
X'uited States, the West Indie* and
South America. This region. ay
William K. Curtis, in the Chicago Ket-
ord-lleraid, is known as "the grave-
yard of the Atlantic," because of the
many ¡ship that have gone down
there, and the hundred of lives and
the millions of dollar ' worth ofvts-
lels and cargoes that have been lost
there. It is tlu most dangerous place
f ir navigation in the «mm Atlantic,
i'or tlu re t Ih north* así and the north-
west winds ñut í and combine their
foms. w hile freijm nt fogs, cross cur-
rent*. under currents and shifting
sands add to the dangers. 1U a glance
at the map it will hi noticed that tlu
continent projects into tlu -ra and the
shoals extend ,-o far from the land
that skipper are compellid to stand
out and increase the length of their
voyage to escape tin in.
Being 1.1 miles from land a light-
house on the shore would be usele.-s,
but it is necessary to kt . p some sign
to warn ships of the shoals, and the
task of furnishing it ha? given the
government mor trouble and anxiety
than any other problem. The va-
rum- attempts to solve it furnish the
most interesting ami exciting chap-
ter in tlu history ..f the lighthouse
Service. It has seemed as if the+torm
dragon was determined to maintain
and defend the evil reputation of the
place. A lightship is kept tin re con-
stantly. There are two vessels built
especially for this purpose. They
carry en w of 1 I .fVu <und nui
• captain, mate, engineer, cook and
ten sailors. The eaptain ftceivts u
