wound combined at tho end Of the
heart on the right side each wound
cutting tho liver, there was bullet
wound through the heart, tho bullet

icrrcd; first, that the murder was per.
petnted by moro than one person, and.
second, that there was flendisli desire

ntlycs of the murdered persons searched
the coast high and low for traces Oft lao
freebooter, bnt In vain. In the midst
Of their grief at tho bereavement under
such circumstance, two who had each
lost a father registered a terrible oath
TO be- cycngcd on the pirate. Accord.
ingly they pursued inquiries with un.
broken diligence, and at last learned
that the man they were In quest Of had
gone tn Port Darwin, la Australia.

tho quiet Of that hight IT shoal bay, In
1886, tho life Of All You WIS taken ia
fulilllmcnt Of the vow Of vengeance
which had been tecorlcd against him
years before on the coast OF China. The
story j. completed when we tell that the

In Chinatown until boat arrived from
