in the Gulf of Mexico, he was stricken
with fever. He was a favorite on
board, and his comrades watched and
cared for him tenderly during the long
days in which he alternated between
the rawlings Of delirium and a death
like stupor. One morning they saw
that change had taken place, whether
for better Or worse they knew not, Two
of his companions watched him sadly
as he lay so still and white, and the
rest of the crew were on deck eagerly
straining their eyes to see what lay be-
yond that broad blue sheet of water,
for the vessel had rounded into the
Bay and a heavy mist hung over the
land.
"When the sun rose and the mist
lifted its veil slowly showing the green

sick man turned with the death dew
cold on his face and murmured softly
and with radient smile, Pense Cola,

men at the piece were closely watching
the movements of the enemy and one
of them said to John Hurley, an Irish
man, a member of the command, and
a noted marksman with artillery, "that

John made no reply, but the question
had attracted the generals attention,
and he asked John if he thought he
could split the column in two.

having history of the supposed aven-

that he had not yet told us the legend
of Pensacola's discovery and name.
"That," said he, sis a real love story,

maybe it is fictitious one. However,
it is inseperably connected with the

the belief. We glory, too, in the fact
that we are of Spanish descent, no mat

THE DROWNING OF EIGHT MEN FROM THE
SCHOONER HELEN NJ. CROSBY.
The fishing schooner Northern Eagle ar
rived at Boston Tuesday, having in tow the
seine boat OF the schooner Helen VI. Crosby,
which dispels all hopes for the safety OF the
eight men reported separated from her i'll
Saturday nights squall in Barnstable bay.
The Northern Eagle herself had narrow
escape from wreck, and only held her an
chorage by putting out additional cibles.
AS IL was. she had her main boom aud gail
carried away and her ioresail split, a tele-
gram says.
Early yesterday morning, off Plymouth,
the Northern Eagle picked up the Cros-
by's seine-boat, which was stern down in
the water, caused by the weight OF the
seine, which was made fast to the stern.
Efforts were at once made TO recover the
seine and float the boat, and, after several
hours OF hard work, the crew OF the
Northern Eagle were successful in raising
portion of the seine and freeing the
boat of water. The condition OF the seine
and boat leaves no doubt that the squall
drove the mackere into the rushes, and
the heavy weight OF the fish and seine, to-
gether with the high sea which was rum
ming at that time, caused the boat to turn
over and the unfortunate men to be thrown
into the water and drowned.
Several other disasters are reported i'll

tqin and twelve men, out OF crew OF If
teen. were drowned, and other sad tidings
are expected when the fleet is fully heard

The boat did not ship one drop in this sea,

GANG OF YOUNG VILLAINS DISCOVERED AND
SCATTERED BY SECRET SERVICE OFFICERS.
The Boston journal has this special from
Jamaica, Vt: The arrest and confession
Tuesday OF two young men for counter
feting has brought out a most unique story
OF organized crime. Acting under inior-
nation obtained from Merton q. Clark,
now in Jail, officers OF the United States
Secret Service and the local authorities
made an important discovery in wild and
lonely gulch in the mountains few miles
from this village. They found the headquar-
ters of a criminal gang which for some time
has been coming spurious dollars and COM
hitting depredations on the surrounding
country. Complete counterleiting outfits
were seized, including mouds, boxes, ket-
ties, plaster-of-Paris, lead, DC. The most
interesting part OF the story il the history
| of the gang which had begun such extern
siye operations. Ii is secret society OF
the Observation-Disclosures variety, now num-
| bering twCnty-three members. II was or
ganized, according TO its records, June 18th
| OF the present year. It's members are
young men, eighteen 10 twenty-one years
old, living in South Londonderry, Jamaica /:
West Townsend and Wardsboro'. vi. /:
and Ashuelot and Winchester, n. III. The
band was governed by captain. first and
second officers, secretary, Judge OF fire.
arms, and board OF directors. They
styled themselves the United Birds and
Brothers. They had organized an elabo.
rate system OF signals and secret alphabets.
to which the officers now have the KEY
Their secret records were kept by secret
system, which is translated according to
the key by an arrangement of figures, A
being represented blythe figure |, B 9. etc.
j 10, K 30, etc. The members who have
confessed tell blood-curding stories about
the process Of initiation. Each applicant
was required to take three fearful and
unique oaths.
/ When the last oath is administered, saws
young Clark, the applicant kneels and
cooked revolver loaded with ball cart
ridges Is held at his head. On one occa.
sloo the revolver was placed at the candi-
dates head during the administration OF
the lrst oath. He got scared aud started
TO run, but was brought back, and the
ceremony was completed with some modi-
ncations. Thus far the gang had coined
considerable bogus money. 1t is OF fair
Workmanship. The gang has stolen horses
once or twice, but had not got quite ready
Tor the wholesale career of crime that was
contemplated. The leaders have fled and
officers are In pursuit. The two under ar.
rest are held in $1,000 bonds cach for the
United States grand jury.
