The Winslow fairly leaped through the

cook threw a head of cabbage with deadly
aim, and the missile, barely missing Her

"Pursue them!" commanded the officer.
Her Majesty's officer had made serious
mistake in trying to board the Winslow
from small boat. Had he remained
aboard the International and sent the boat
in to alarm the Winslow he might have
captured her in the offing. As it stood,
there was nobody on board the Interna-
tional having authority to stop the flying
tug; consequently the latter could only
play the role of spectator until the small
boat with Her Majesty's officers were
picked up. Still it was miles TO American

three fourths of her keel at every jump.

BRAVE FIGHTERS.
Women In Action on Board Ships of tn
Royal Navy.

Women in Action on Board Ships of tho
Royal Navy.
In 1912 her Maiesty's ship Swallow
fought two French vessels off Freius.
1t was on June 16, and after most
obstinate action she succeeded in driy-
ing them both in under the batteries of
the town. The following anecdote, as
narrated by one of the officers of the
Swallow, IS told at some length in the
NaUdL Chronicle, xviii, 1876: 'In the
gallant and sanguinary action there
was a seaman named Phelan, who had
bis wife on board. She was stationed
as is usual when women are on
board in time of battie-to assist the
surgeon in the care OF the wounded.
From. the close manner in which the
Swallow engaged the enemy, yardarm
and yardarm, the wounded, as NAV be
expected, were brought below very
fast; among the rest. Il meSSmate of her
husband, consequently her own,) who
had received musket ball through the
side. Her exertionS were used to con-
sole the poor fellow, who was in great
agonies and nearly breathing his last,
when by some chance she heard her
husband was wounded on deck. Her
anxiety and already overpowered feel
ings could not one moment be 10
strained; she rushed instantly On deck
and received the wounded tar in her
arms. He family raised his head to
kiss her; she burst into flood of tears,
and told him to take courage, All
would vet be WELL but scarcely pro-
nounced the last syllable when an
ill-directed shot took her head
off. The poor tar, who was close
ly wrapped in her arms, opened
his ewes once more, then shut them
forever. Phelan and his wife
were sewed up in one hammock, and.
it is needless to say, buried in one
grave" The narrator adds TO the
pathos of the above story telling how,
only three weeks before, fine boy had
been born to them, and how poor
Tommy Jared until they put into Port
Mahon. The sailors agreed "he should
have q hundred fathers, but what could
be the substitute of nurse and q
mother?" Happily. there was a Maltese
goat on board which proved as tractabls
and faithful TO its charge as the immor-
tai dumb foster mother of Roman story.
In Rodney's battle with De Guichen of
the Pearl Rock, Martinique, April II,
1880, there was a woman on board the
Sandwich, Rodney's flagship, who
fought 24-pounder gun, and after
ward attended the whole night upon
the wounded men. ."-Notes and Queries.

- Will not have my affairs talked
about before a man like that, said
| Anthony, with a motion of contempt
| toward Macari.
The two men were cOnyersing in q
low tone Pauline was not far of. and
neither wished to alarm her by bigh
words or by the appearance of a pend
ing quarrel; but Macari heard the re-
mark and saw the gesture. His eyes
blazed and he leaned forward toward
young March.
''It may be in few days." he said,
'.you will be willing enough to give me
freely the gift you refused a short time
ago"
Ceneri noticed that the speakers right
hand was inside the breast of his coat,
but this being favorite attitude of his,
thought nothing of it.
Anthony did not condescend to reply.
He turned from the man with a look Of
utter cOntempt-a look which, nc
doubt, drove Macari almost beside him
self with rage.
Before We talk about anything
else" he said to his uncle, II shall in.
sist that from now Pauline is placed
under my care. Neither she nor her
fortune shall become the prey of low
bred, beggarly Italian adventurer like
this man, your friend"
These were the last words the poor
boy ever spoke. Macari took one
step toward him - he made no cx-
climation of rage-hissed out no oath
which might warn his victim. Grasped
in his right hand the long bright steel
leaped from its lurking place, and as
Antony March looked up, and then
threw himself back in his chair to avoid
him, the blow was struck downward
with all the force of that strong arm
the point of the dagger entering just
below the coilar-bone, and absolutely
transfxing the heart. Anthony March
was silenced forever!
Then, even as he fell, Paulne's song
stopped, and her cry of horror rang
through the room. From her seat at
the piano she could see what had hap
pened. Is it any wonder that the sight
bereft her of her senses?
Maeari was standing over his victim.
Ceneri was stupefied at the crime
which in moment had obviated any
necessity for carrying out his wild plot.
The only one who seemed in possession
of his wits was Petroff. 1t was i'm
perative that Pauline should be silenced.
Her cries would alarm the neighbors.
He rushed forward, and throwing a
large woolen sofa-cover over her head,
placed her on the couch, where he held
her by force.
At that moment I made my frantic
entrance-blind and helpless, but, for
all they knew, messenger of VEN
geance.
Even the ruthless Macari was stag
gered at my appearance. 1t was Ceneri
who, following the instincts of self
preservation, drew pistol and cooked
it. 1t was he who understood the mean
ing of my passionate appeal to their
mercy-he who, he averred, saved my
life.
Macari, as soon as he recovered from
his surprise, insisted that should share
Anthony March's fate. His dagger was
once more raised to take human life,
whilst Petroff, who had been forced by
the new turn of affairs to leave Pauline,
pinned me down where l had fallen.
Ceneri struck the steel aside and saved
me. He examined my eyes and vouched
for the truth of my statement. There
was no time for recriminations or accu-
sations, but he swore that another muir
der should not be committed.

chains rattling as he moved. Il knew
