The accused then retired 10 the office
Of the Police Justice, together with
his counsel. Outside Of the house the
gocd-naturcd crowd awaited with eager
curiosity glimpse Of the prisoner.
On Mayo street the people, were packed
like sarlines, and ont on Franklin street
even the crowd was dense. A car

Storm at Sea.

In November, 1881, the steamship
Venice, from Savannah to Europe with
cotton, while running before o heavy
northwest gale was boarded by ire
mendous sea. The captain determined
to heave to, and men were stationed to
pour oil down the closet chutes forward
and to throw waste, soaked in oil, to
windward. The vessel came round with
out shipping any water. As she kept
falling off. it was concluded to put her
again before the sea, which was done
without trouble, and it was found that
she kept perfectly dry as long rs the oil
was used. Again in January, 1884.
while crossing the Atlentic to New
York, after running before northwest
gale for some time, she was laid to with
out difficulty or danger by using oil in
the manner stated.
Captain Richie, of the English
steamer Fern Holme, while ON his last
oil bags while running before q vest
southwest gale. He hung one over on
eacn side. just forward of the bridge,
and they prevented the ship from taking
water on deck.
First Officer w. Maltjen, Of the Ger.
man steamer Colon, in December, 1884,
used oil bags with remarkable effect.
Two bags filled with boiled oil were
hung over the bow. Tho oil spreading
over the surface prevented the waves
from breaking, and the ship rode quite
easily during the continuance of the
gale.
Captain Jones, of the British steamer
Chicago, while rescuing the crew Of the
brig Fedore, used oil with best results.
1t was blowing heavy gale, with very
high sea. The Chicago ran to wind
ward of the Fedore, and during lull,
oil having been poured on the water, the
port lifeboat was successfully launched
and started. A can of oil was taken in
the boat, and by using this the seas were
kept down in the immediate vicinity,
though they broke in masses of foam a
short distance away. AS the boat APP
preached the Fedore. the crew of that
vessel poured oil on the water, which SO
Gained the sea that the boat got along
side and rescued the shipwrccked crew
without sustaining any injury About
half q gallon of oil was used by the boat
during her trip.
The brig P. NJ. Tenker, Captain
Charles Barnard. New York to Cuba, in
1879, ecountered a northeast gale when
four days out Several heavy seas came
on board doing great damage. A small
bag with holes punched in the bottom,
was filed with oil and hung over the
stern. The oil prevented the seas from
combing, and the vessel ran for several
hours with dry decks. Scientific Ameri-
can.

taking to the asylum. They were not
handcuifed nor tied in any way, but
permitted to run about the car just as
they wanted to. On board was passen-

things easy. and said he guessed they
were all right. Well, as we were going

ger came out, with his grin in his hand,
and bus shiny silk hat on his head AS
VIE came to . street crossing, he said
Guess Ill get off here, and before /
could do thing to stop him, he jumped
He probably thought we were running
slow, but those things are very deceptive.
He landed on his feet, but he didn't stay
there long. He just assumed the shape

His Highness was dressed in military
costume; light-colored coat, astrakhan
cap, and loose trousers tucked into
shining top boots His waist was girt
by broad belt studded with silver orna-
ments, and be- wore sword with richly
chased scabbard. He sat his horse well,
and wore the air of perfect self-possession
and impassiveness which always marks
him. He is too dignified even to show
surprise or establishment, and takes every.
thing as matter of course. His High
ness Abdurrahman Khan, ameer of Ca
bull, is rather tall. burly man, large Of
limb, broad -shouldered. slightly inclining
to stontness, his face not of the strongly
marked Jewish type which prevails SO
much in Afghanistan, but round and full,
with q free growth of whiskers and
beard, traces Of gray showing in the
latter, features clearly marked, and eyes
keen as Afghans' always are. From
his face one would scarcely Judge
the ameer to be 8 man of strong
will and determination such as he
has shown in his past career. Rather
one would Judge him to be of . quiet,
pacific character, worn somewhat by the
stress and strain of fortune. but now con
tent for the world to take its way, man
approaching fiftv years Of are, and with
every year lived to the full since early
manhood. He has suffered much Of late
from gout. which his journey from Ca
bull must have aggravated, and il step

lameness became apparent. He was
