During me last days Of mis- GONZALES

times on foot, sometimes in carriage.
And be W as astOnished at what the little
colony had become under the adminlstra-
uon OF DR.. AntekIrtt.
Work was going on at the Publications
destined to protect the town, the harbor,
and ia short the whole island from attack.
When the works were finished they We're

from their position would cross their fires
and thus render the approach Of an enc

Electricity was To play an important
rart In the defensive system, not only in
firing the t0rpedoes with which the chan
mel was armed, but even in discharging
the Guns iu the batteries. The doctor had
learned how to obtain the most marvellous
result, from this agent to which the tu-
turp belongs. The central station, pro-
vded with steam motors and boilers, con-
tanned twenty dynamo machines on anew
and greatly-imprOved system, and there

telephones, and the circular and other
railways on The island. In a word the
doctor had applied the studies OF his youth
ID practical purposes, and realized one Of
the deslderata Of modern sclence-the
transmission Of power 20 a distance by
electric agency. Having succeeded in

speed enabled him TO move with the ra-

Mediterranean to the other
As coal was indisp nsa0le for the steam
engines which were required to produce
The electricity, there was always a con-
siderable stock IN store at Antekirtta,
and this stock was continually renewed
by "a ship that traded backwards and for
wards to Wales.
The barb0r, from which the little town
rose in the form Of an amphitheatre. was
natural one, and had been greatly i'm
proved. Two jetties. a mole, a bTeakwa-
ter made iJ safe in all winds. And there
was always good depth OF water even
alongside the whsrves, so that at all times
the i0tilla Of Autekrtta was in perfect
security. This iotlla comprised the
schooner Savarena, The steam collier
y3rbtot between 700 and 500 tons, named
the Ferrato and three Electrics, of which
tw0 We're fitted as torpedo boats which
could useiully contribute to the defense
OF fne island.
Under the Doctors directions, Atekirtta
saw It's means OF resistance improve from
day 70 day; and Of tins the pirates Of Fri
poll were well aware. Great was their
desire to capture it, for its possession
would be OF great advantage to the Grand
Master OF SenOusism, oidi MOhammed FL
Aahdi. But knowingEthe difficulties OF
ile undertaking they waited their OppOr-
tunlty with that patience which is one Of
the chief characteristics of the Arab. The
coetor knew all this, and actively pushed
ON his defensive works. To reduce them
Wnen they were finished the most modern
engines OF destruction would be required,
and these the SenOusists did not vet pos
sess. All the inhabitants OF the island
between Is and 40 were formed into COM
panies OF militia, provided with the new
esI arms OF precision. drilled IN artillery
ma0plvres, and commanded by officers
o tHelr own selection, and this militia
made uD force OF from 800 to 600 trust

country. 10y far the greater mum Der of col
