 liquor. Their festivities soon develop 1 ed into free fight. Besides tho crew of the Albemarle the sailors of the brig
 Ararat, which was lying alongside,

 closed the door. Grammar broke open the little window and made cuts at
 Ross, who was crowded up in such
 close quarters that he feared every mo-

 his opportunity he wrenched the razor from Brannan's hand, but the sailor
 had another one in his pocket, and on
 returning to the forecastle he assailed
 Leister. It took @ squad of the Trini-
 dad police to get Brannan to the bar
