and did not continue the useless argument then.
1t was then about 80 o'clock in the afternoon.
For two hours the crowd Of beligerents stroled
about the pien with the air of those who already
owned the island, while DR.. Voight and the re-
porters, appointed for the time being as special

like pack of hungry wolves, lined the centre
pier, with Mr. Reid, supervisor Young, Mr.. Howell
and Coroner Moore at their head. AS the Cepheus
slowly steamed round the island from the rear
and came nearer and nearer the dock, the mob on
the pier grew perfectly insane with rage and ex'

packed with a crowd of white-faced. haggard men
and women and children all huddled together. az

THE BOAT DRIFTS FROM THE PIER.
1t seemed now as if the captain of the Cepheus
would give up the struggle TO land his unfortu-
nate passengers, and the Isp mob set up another
veil as the big boat drifted out little into the
stream. But at q signal from DR.. Vought, who
had pushed his way TO the front, she stopped.

hungry women and children Will you not allow

Reid. They refuse to take me-" said Dr. Voighf
as he stepped onto the pier.
