He and two of his men stole softly to-
ward the unsuspecting captain.
He dashed up the companion stairs.
Captain Myers in another moment
was struggling in the grasp Of Rosario's
companions.
Before the latter could draw weapons
the mate shot one and badly wounded
the other.
Rosario released Ella, whom be had
seized, and shouted for assistance.
Reversing his heavy six Smoother Mate
Edwards brought the butt down upon
Rosario's head with a force that sent
him moaning and half senseless to the
deck.
''QuickT he cried, Selling Elias arm.
"Oyer the stern rail. There is a lad
der. Drop into the boat. | win keep
these other ruffians at bay"
He began firing into the horde Of adj
vancing mutineers.
By the time his revolver was emptied
Captain Myers and Ella had reached the
boat.
During the afternoon he had cleaned
the captains double barreled shotgun,
heavily charged it with slugs and con-
cealed it on deck under a tarpaulin.
With a yell Of defiance he caught it up
and discharged both barrels in the very
faces of the mutineers.
They recoiled before this terrible fire,
and, taking advantage Of their discom-
future, Frank slipped over the rail and
cut the boat adrift.
Before he could seize the oars the first
big wave Of the tide was upon them and
they were hurried on past the vessel and
far up the river with frightful velocity.
Then came the recoil and they drifted
back toward the Peerless.
Frank pulled toward a little island on
the right hand side of the channel and
succeeded in making a landing.
He made fast the boat painter to a
heavy rock, and the three, retreating,
were above high water mark when the
second wave swept up the stream.
Rosario. maddened at the blow he had
received, staggered to his feet as the
dinghy swept by the vessel and ordered
out the long boat.
Into it he leaped with his followers to
pursue.
The second wave swept them toward
the f~ugitives, and when the recoil came
they were within 200 yards of the island.
"After them!' shouted Rosario, leap
ing upon the beach as o o as the boat
grounded.
Suddenly they began to founder and
sink in the sand.
"a quicksand" they cried, and made
desperate efforts to reach firm ground.
In vain!
The more they struggled the deeper
they sank, and when the next wave
swept up the river they were ingulfed
in ten feet of water.
Not a soul escaped, and when, after
waiting patiently on the island until the
big tide was full, Mate Edwards rowed
the captain and his daughter back to the
Peerless, there was a look of grateful
pride on the old shippers face as he re-
earded his brave young mate.
Four of the mutineers had been shot
dead and three others were desperately
wounded. The bodies of the dead were
thrown overheard and the wounded
were imprisoned in the f~orecastle.
When Fort Yuma was reached and
the vessel had been unloaded there was
a grand wedding on the deck Of the
Peerless. and when she started on her
homeward voyage a happier couple could
not be found than Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Edwards.

Gus Thomas rather neat little play drew
as strongly as it usually does, when handled
by Mr.. Joseph r. Grismer and Miss Phoebe
Davies, and the audience evidently enjoyed
all the phases of the acting, particularly
that of the child, Little Irene, as Editha,
who, by her innocence, unwittingly con-
verts the burglar from the error Of his
ways. Thomas has done good work in
adapting this play; but 1t has so often been
referred to as TO become an old story. Girls
mer has assembled better company than
usual this season, fact that was made evil
dent by the cast of last evening. The Lead
ing parts were, of course, in the hands of
himself and that well-versed actress, Miss
Davies-they played, respectively, William
Lewis, the burglar, and Alice, his wife.
But, at the same time, through all the
minor characters, there was better vein of
dramatic feeling, a closer attention to de-
tail, that went far to make The scenes COM
plete. Mrs. Livingstone, Mrs. Scott Cooper,
Mrs. Sara Stevens and Miss Della Mac
quaide were conspicuous for their reading
aud well-considered actions.

Long Does Some Good Acting.
In 1.-The Victim of Circumstances" Mr..
Nicholas Long MS Leon Bonnefoi, the vic
tim, has got part after his own heart, and
consequently plays it con amOre. The cast
is not long, but in it Mr.. Long is the central
figure. He is married to pretty little wife,
Aimee Miss Nellie Young, who with her
mother, Nine. Torquet Miss Fanny Young,
makes mis- life misera bic. He is simply
mother-in-lawrd to deaths door, and it
takes all his French philosophy and good
nature to prevent him entering therein. The
scenes between the women and Leon ere
vastly amusing, because they are exeellently
well played. 1t is rarely we get two such
accomplished actors of the old California
school as Nick Long and Fanny Young play
ing opposite each other, and ii is treat
when we find them In that position. Mr.
William Beach is also neat as Carton, the
friend of Leon in his bachelor days, who
excites the ire of the mOther-in-law. Mr..
l.. R. Stockwell appears as Camanche, the
gardener, In this Anglo-French comedy,
and is capital in the broad low-come6y vein
he carries into 1t. His very makeup has all
the effect of comic song,
