while she is aboard ship We dare not ire
a shot.

desperate. whereby We might rescue herr"

There are now little over four hun

@Can that be Accomplished" our hero
asked. Z had thought of that once, but
gave it up. It seemed so utterly imprac-
teal that I thought the time spent in
thinking of it lost.

smacks, I believer"
Eyes, there are enough row boats to
carry all our force"
"That is very good. Now, Captain, my
plan is simply this. We viii tonight
get the boats in good shape and have
everything ready. The first night that it
is fOggy and dark We viii fill the boats,
and with muffied oars proceed to the
XenOphon. Once alongside Of her it is
easy enough for our men to climb among
the chains and reach the deck. You have
blacksmiths?"
Yes, one.
And several others who can pound
iron, have you not?"
yes.
aThen we must have them get to work. "
What doing?"
@FashiOning brOadswords. Every man

"But, Mr.. Burnett, where are We to get
the material?"
Make them from scythes, bars Of iron,
corn knives and whatever material you
can get"
You are really a man Of great re-
sources, Mr.. Burnett.
Your carpenters can assist in putting
on stout handles. and we must have
scores of men busy grinding the weapons
and getting them as near into shape as it
is possible for them to be-"

see your plan is a good one. and, as you
are fully acquainted with the ship, you
will know from which side you can best

I'VE will go aboard the Iarboard and
starbOard bows and mizzen-clains, said
the deserter. Have you pistols for alp"
mo; but we have rifles.
Guns are of but little use to a board
ing party, though we viii have to take
them, I suppose, and do the best we
can.
"And now, Mr.. Burnett, said our hero,
who had heartily entered into the enter
prise, when shall we begin this under

"As soon as it is dark. We must work
under the cover of darkness, so that Oul

Captain Alton was anxious for night
to come, that the work might be begun.

when he will be sentenced but it will pro-
badly not be until after several other in
dict nents for robbery against him have
been disposed of.
George L. Meyers, cannery man,
to-day brought from Portland $4,000
white fish for deposit in the lakes about
Seattle. One-balf were placed in Lake
ashington, one.quarter in Green lake
and the other quarter in Samminish lake.
1t is announced that the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company will on March place
a third steamer on the route between Puget
Sound and Frisco, making the trips every
five days instead of weekly as at present.
1t is not improbable that that the heavily
increasing business OF the company will
necessitate the addition of fourth vessel
some time in the summer. The two vessels
on the route now are the UmatillA and
Wa.la Walla and the third will be the
Mexico.
Manager McNeill of the Oregon I'm.
provement Company to-day issued orders
to the agents of the company at Newcastle,

amount aggregates about $500, 900 annu.
ally, and at least twothirds of this will
now come 30 Seotte.

than that, but | killed him and
am glad of it," It was evident from the

insanity and it was decided to examine
him next week. The person he thinks he
killed WAS Nick Hanna, the policeman
who shot and captured him on the night
after a genuine duel with pistols.
The lighthouse tender, MANILA, arrived
