Burke tackled third enemy in the
person of Captain Williams of the
Nautila3.
He met him in cafe, where Will.
liams had been drinking with some
friends. Captain Burke made a state
ment, which Captain Williams denoun-
ced as base lie, and the speaker
base liar.
Captain Williams had drank little
too much and was flushed and excited
in consequence.
Burke, however, was reasonably sob
er and cool, and next day sent chal.
lenge to Williams, which the latter ac.
cepted, and meeting was arranged.
This occurred in a short time after
the challenge was accepted, and Cap.
tain Williams was stricken dead at the
second fire.
The fourth victim was Captain Davis
of the Arethusa.
Burke's method in his case was the
same as in the former. Burke picked
a quarrel with him, a duel followed, and
Captain Davis was sent to join his pre-
| decessors.
The only are now left was the Scotch
man, Mcdonald.
He was cooler and more cautious
than the others, and Burke could NO;
dispose Of him SO easily. He dogged
him everywhere, however, determined
to call him out, and one day he met
him in club room crowded with naval
and military officers, where Burke
grossly insulted him and denounced
| him as a coward.
This was, of course, too much for
even the cautious Scot to submit to,
especially as room full of officers had
heard the insult.
Maddened with rage he felled his in
sulter 70 the ground with one blow.
This was just what Burke was look
ing for, and as soon as possible, he
challenged the Scotchman.
They met one morning at dawn, and
after exchanging a couple of shots, the
disgraced ex-captain shot his adversary
clean through the heart, and he fell
corpse, dyeing the ground with his
| lifeblCod.
Thus was the fifth victim despatched,
and thus did Captain Burke fulfil his
vow to kill every member of the court
martial which had disgraced him.
