SHROUDS OF SILVER.
Strange Death of Two Englishmen in the
Port of CallaO.

Strange Death of Two Englishmen in the
Port of Callao.
During the war between Peru and Chile
the value of silver was enormously en-
HANGED by Government DEGREES that paper
money should be redeemed with silver at
certain fixed amount The sol became
yalueless outside of Peru. Merchants were
compelled to send silver out of the country
to make purchases of goods, and this in the
face Of decree making it felony to do so.
This caused n greater value than ever to be
placed on silver, and every possible device
was resOrted to to smuggle it into Panama.
A United States frigate is said to have car
ried out numerous barrels marked pork, ~
but in reality silver coin, for which service
the commander was handsomely paid.
OF course there were many arrests and
several convictions among clerks and sea-
men OF mail steamers, but the bait was so
tempting that few men hesitated to take the
risk. There were certainly ingenious
methods used to get the silver on board, and
in one case the arrest of six men was caused
by the breaking in two of a coffin just as it
was being lowered into a row-DOat by the
quartermaster, and the discovery by an
official who was encrgetically crossing him.
self, that the corpse was big bag filed with
coin.
On another occasion the first offer of the
AreQupa went to the mole one day carry ing
an infant in his arms and accompanied by a
lady. The suspicion of the custom officials
became aroused, and they were taking a
look at the infant when it dropped quickly
to the bottom. Both lady and officer fled.
and it was soon discovered that the ''paby"
was bag filled with silver coin aud dressed
In an infants clothing.
A few mornings later the steamer Aconca-
qua was to sail. At the foot of the steps of
the mole lay launch filled with mail bags
and awaiting the arrival of the purser to put
out to the steamer. A heavy swell was Iun-
ming, and the quartermasters had to stand in
the bow and in the stern to prevent the craft
dumping against the stone steps. The purser
came down the street accompanied by his
clerk. Both walked slowly and with pecu-
liar STEP They tried to board the launch in
haste, but just then the boat swayed and the
two men fell into the water.
laugh went up because OF the unex-
pected dueking these prm Englishmen had
received; but the laugh froze ON mems lips
when there was no splash, no struggle;
when the little waves caused by the mems
fall became ripples, and then all was still
when no bodies rose for the sailors to grasp
as they leaned over the launch's side.
Those on the mole peered into the depths,
as did those on the boats. There, lying
upon their backs, were the men ut the bot
tom. Each would struggle desperately and
raise little from the bed, then sink again.
They would try TO stand, then fall Bubbles
came to the surface; there were cOnvulsiye
gasps below, and the two lay quite still.

Eagerly he licks it and ticks it, decorating
his mouth and becoming more irenzied in
his desire for his own life fluid.
Meanwhile other wolves have come up
and have begun to lick at the fat, cutting
their own tongues and becoming in their
turn wild at the taste. So presently the bait
is surrounded by pack of ravenous and
crazy creatures, which soon turn upon one
