CALLED I'm A BURGLAR.
He Opened Subtreasury Vault tina
Bafled Loeksmith Experts.

He Opened q Subtreasury Vault that
Baffled Loeksmith Experts.
About six months ago an order ar
rived at the subtreasury directing the
Treasurer to have all the time loci s
on the vaults cleaned, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. Among those
that were taken out was one on re-
s.rve vault containing $12. 900, 900 in
silver. From the lock on the door to
this vault the lOcksmith took only
such parts as needed to be cleaned,
leaving the rest in the door. When
the vault was closed the tumblers
fell into their places, the "catch" of
the time lock, or that part that was
left, caught all right, and the door
was securely locked-so securely
locked, in fact, that it was found i'm
possible to open it again, for the part
of the time lock that should release
the catch on the inside was outside in
the hands of the locksmith. The
combination knob was turned this
way and that, and everything that
would in any way tend to loosen the
bolt was done, but to no effect. The
lOcksmith even went so far as to put
a plank against the door and pound
away with sledge in the hope that
something would give way, but still
the door remained securely closed,
and as there was really 10 necessity
to open the vault the treasury seal
was placed on the door and things re-
mained as they were. 1t became ap-
parent that something had to be
done, however, and it having been
learned that BILLY" Ensign was In
town, he was hunted up. Ensign Is
the well-known craftsman whose
ability to pick locks has more than
once landed him in prison, and the
propriety of calling him in was con
sidered at some length before it was
decided to resort to his skill. BILLY"
went into the subtreasury and at
once set to work. He tinkered with
the combination knob for while, and
then, getting down to business, put
his ear against the door and began
slowly to turn the knob back and
forth, listening to the clicks Of the
tumblers as they fell into their
places. How he did it no one OF the
bystanders could determine. but it is
certain that his manipulation Of the
knob affected the time lock in some
way. for he suddenly Strengthened up,
grabbed the lever that moves the
steel bolts, and giving it quick,
sharp jerk. the door swung open be-
fore the astOniShed clerks. Ensign
knew nothing about the lock when
he started in tn open the door, and

against the bilge and reco:led in milk
that flung dim sheen upon the atmos-
phere OF the night, making the quietly
happing saiis glance out. 1t was very
thick, there was nothing Of the land to
be seen. The carpenter was sounding
over the side and heard him bawl out

Biddy McDougal was hard and fast upon

Wilson yelling out contradictory orders

him and nobody else.

from the tempestuous discourse of the
three captains that We had gone ashore

Parfitt's calculations had come nearest
the truth, all three men had been heav-
lily out in their reckoning.
Scarcely had the sun risen when a
gun-boat hove in sight, bound from the

our ship ashore and sent boats. was
heartily glad to get aboard Of her.
Capt. Parfitt and five of the crew
also went aboard; but old Punch de-
clined to leave the neighborhood Of the
vessel. He said that there was no i'm
mediate danger, that he would 60 ashore
and make shift under canvas until as
sistance should be sent from CapetOwn.
Wilson remained with him.
The ship was ultimately got of, and
navigated to England by Wilson and
Capt. Punch in the cabin; but by that
time I received my luggage from the
hold of the Biddy McDougal, had trans
ferred it to another vessel, and was

That very same day 1 remember
mean that day on which the quarrel at
the table happened-Mr. Wilson came
on deck while Capt. Parfitt was pacing
the weatherside, keeping lookout, and
with an air Of aggression stared into
the compass, then looked aloof, also
very aggressively, and then sent his
eyes around the sea line, making mo-
ton with his head that was offensive
with its suggestion Of criticism Pres
emily, taking his stand abreast the miZ-
zenmast to leeward, he asked the man
at the wheel how the ships head was.
The fellow replied.

point" called out Mr.. Wilson. And,
Capt. Parfitt, you will be 80 good as to
trim sail.
Keep her as she goes!" roared

An angry quarrel followed, mere
affray of words, indeed, but it was hard

come, with long and shameful
scufIie on top of it. The sailors forward
stood staring aft. thoroughly enjoying
