struck twelve he and his men arrived under
the stern of the steamer and it was evident
their proximity was not suspected, for mott
the slightest note Of alarm had been sounded.
There were sounds Of rcvclcry above. The
sweet strains OF music arose upon the air,
and occasionally laugh would peal out from
those all unconscious, of the fact that grim
death was lowering around them, and that be
