A SEA MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Probable Fate of the City of Boston-An
Old Sea Captains Story.

New York Tribune.
A few years ago the City of Boston, crowded
with passengers, sailed for foreign shore.
She never entered port
The Atlantic passenger, when the fierce winds
howl and danger is every hand shudders as
the name and mysterious fate of that magnif
cent vessel are recalled.
Every year the mystery grows deeper.
Capt. G. S. Murray, who at the time was an
officer on the City of Antwerp, in newspaper
interview, says:
81 shall never forget the last night we saw the
Boston, that day furious southeast hurri
cane set in. Both vessels labored hard. The
sea seemed determined to sweep away every
thing having life. When the day ended the gale
did not abate and every thing was dashed for a
night of unusual fury. The City of Antwerp

the north. Her boats, lifepreservers and RATS
were are securely dashed for the storm, and
when she went down of course everything must
have gone with her. never to reappear until the
sea gives up its dead"
Remarking upon the bronzed and healthy ap-
pearance of the captain, the reporter said, that
however dangerous sea life might be, it evident
ly agreed with him.
The captain courteously returned thanks and
added: well, persons appearance is not al

The examination was recorded and placed on
file and the convict's description was next taken
and recorded. 1t is as follows:
Convict received Nov 10. Name, Joseph O. Mackin
Registered number, 1889. Sentence five years
Crime, perjury. Age So. Height, five feet, seven
dark. Eyes, graysh blue. Hair, dark brown Chin,
heavy. Nativity Pennsylvania. Occupation, real
estate dealer and specuator. Name and address of
nearest relative Mrs. j. g. Mackn, $50 South Sanga-
mon street, Chicago. Size of boot S12 Size of hat,
7ls Tattoo marks-Cruoiixion in red and blue on
right arm; Indian girl with bow and arrow in blue on
left arm, and about dozen scars about the person
The examination over Mackiu was about to
retire TO his temporary cell for the night, when
three friends appeared in the doorway. Then
for the first time he indicated his appreciation
of his unfortunate position. Quickly concealing
himself behind the halfopen door, he waited for
the intruders to pass on. They sent in a request
to see him. The deputy delivered it, and Mack
In says, interrogatively:
have right to decline to receive them2
Yes
Then do with all my heart.
Passing quickly by the doorway he climbed
the iion stairs to the balcony above where he
was shown his cell Snd placed under lock and
key.
1t was now o'clock. Mackin had served two
and one-half hours of tbs FIVE years term before
him. The prison bell sounded and the different
shop doors emitted long strings of human beings
in black and white. They were the convicts,
marching in the heavy gang step from their
labors to their cells Mackn could not see out
of his cell in the confinement department, but he
could hear the measured tread of many feet
around him. Sitting upon the edge of his iron
cot he rested his chin in his hands and stared
into space in detected fashion.
There was sharp knock on his iron door. He
looked up nervously. turnkey unlocked it,
and brother convict from the culinary depart
ment handed Mackin tin cup, on the top of
which poised three slices of white bread.
Mackin was hungry. He took the cup, removed
the bread. and his hunger was sharpened by the
delicious odor of strong coffee arising from the
steaming contents of the cup. He lifted the cup
to his lips and took hearty pull at it. His face
changed its expression. He held the fluid in his
mouth as if to spew it out, but the turnkey was
watching him and he bravely swallowed it down.
The coffee contained neither milk nor sugar, and
was as bitter as NORWOOD to his unaccustomed
taste. He set the cup on the floor and carefully
replaced the bread on top of it. He has finished
his first prison supper.
Mackin will be assigned position in one of
the shops to-day-it is not yet known which one
and will probably be pnt first at manual labor
If, however, he shows ability for clerical work,
the manager of the shop in which he is employed
will promote him to such position as ne will
fill to the greatest advantage for the contractor.

JOSEPH C. MACKIN IN PRISON.

His Reception at Joliet and His First Days
Experience in the Service of the State.
Chicago News.
On the train Mackin appeared cheerful He
talked freely with the sheriff, and even ioked q
little. When the couple arrived at the prison
and Mackin was introduced to Warden Nc
Claughrey, he smiled and exhibited no sign of
apprehension or embarrassment. After the usual
forma1ities of delivering the prisoner Sheriff
Hanchett babe Mackin farewell, and the latter
after expressing his thanks for kind treatment
retired with the deputy warden.
With firm step Mackin passed through the
heavily barred doorway which the turnkey
opened for him. down the stone steps and out
into the large prison yard throDged with busy
workmen. Mackin's rapid gait caused the deputy
considerable putting to keep in the lead. The
deputy turned into side door about half way
down the length of the long stone building run
ming from the of the prison office directly
back. He unlocked the door and Mackin
stepped in. He was then in low room about
twenty-five feet square. Stationed in symmetri-
cal form about the four sides of the room were
sixty bath tubs In one of them water was flow
ing, and Mackir, without a bidding, began to
disrobe. He was soon enjoying a refreshing
bath.
An attendant brought in several complete suits
of prison clothing. From these Mackin selected
pair of trousers, coat, and bingham shirt.
The deputy humored him as he critically studied
the length of his trousers and the fit of his coat
w men uudlIy dyou III prison SdFD he looked
up inquiringly at the deputy, and smile was on
his face which his companion did not seem to
understand. The deputy frowned little and
said curty This way, sir"
Without word Mackin followed his compan-

After passing down the flag stone walk few
yards farther they turned into a small court
where some workmen were busy repairing

man. stepped from the doorway TO let the pris-
oner pass by He jostled against Mackin. who
glared up at him for his impudence, but the fell
low only laughed. Mackn bit his lip and passed
on. The impudent convict is a wife murderer,
and is serving out life sentence.
Turning again to the right. the new convict
entered a corridor about thirty feet long. 1t is
