stories under whatever promise Of
pardon or compulsion of punishment
could get no farther than the state
ment that the San Pedro had sailed for
Panama or Venezuela. The knowledge
of the transfer to the pirogues was
locked up in his own immediate con-
federates. This fact he reasoned
would not prevent the ultimate discov-
cry of the real truth, but it would de-
lay it sufficiently for him to get safely
to his subterranean retreat with his
plumber. Common piracy was not an
idea that anybody would entertain.
No steam vessel could keep afoat and
coaled up over week without rum
ming across a cruiser. The special
conspiracy and the abandonment Of
the San Pedro were therefore newt
able deductions. The purchase of the
use of the San Pedro, the shipment Of
the men at New Orleans, the landing
OF the men on the southern coast must
all sooner or later focus the search at
New Orleans But by that time he
would be out of sight.
Two facts were of special import:
The officer and boats crew that had
boarded the Corinthian had been pho
tographed by one of the passengers on
the steamship. but while this fact had
been communicated to New York, the
photographs had been carried to Eng
land. The other fact was that the
passengers all had the impression that
the vessel and crew were Spanish and
had gone eastward.
Two days had not elapsed before the
two pirogues with their masts cut of
were taken in tow by small side
wheeler and pulled up the river. They
were loaded with derricks and heavy
timber. Hendricks had inserted an
advertisement in the papers and it was
known he was purchasing material for
his improvements somewhere on the
Mississippi
On the morning that the little side
wheeler went slowly up the river in
plain view of New Orleans, the United
States cruiser. Dakota picked M apd

Identified some CT the upper works OF
the San Pedro in the gulf. and sensa-
tional story appeared in New York
paper which stated that the conspiracy
to rob the English steamship had been
Matched in the United States treasury
department, and that the San Pedro
had transferred her cargo in the bay
of Campeachy and the treasure was
now hiding at or near the Bancas di
Sisal. off Yucatan.
Everything now depended on the
pirogues reaching the Wash bayou be-
fore the true clew led to New Orleans.
It was a seYen-hundred-mile Journey,
ard the vessels crawIed along at pace
Of only eight miles IN hour Hen
bricks himself went direct to Memphis
by rail, and after several days of intoi-
cradle anxiety and constant expecta-
ton of meeting with the news that the
plumber had been tracked to the river,
he had the satisfaction of see
ing his cargo from the hotel win
dow slowly and laboriously crawling
mp the stream undisturbed.
He got aboard the steamboat about
ten miles above Memphis, and, finding
Capt. Blinn aboard. he having been
similarly picked up. they congratu-
lated each other.
The vessels were run safely into the
Wash bayou at night unobserved. and
the whole energy of Hendricks and his
confederates was then directed to the
transportation of the specie to the
western end of the Laran cave.
In spite of the urgent need of haste,
this was done deliberately and method
ically, and the wild. deserted coun-
try favored the task. Mule teams
were provided; the two journeys We're
made at night under guard, and in
three days after the landing there wero
two million nine hundred thousand
dollars in the Laran cave.
Hendricks plans for the immediate
use of some of the money are in part
known. Three months before the rob-
berry of the steamship. he had, by some
scheme, managed to borrow six thou
sand dollars, which he converted into
gold and deposited in the First ma
tional bank of Memphis to be drawn
against. He now went to the Second
national bank of Louisville, KY, with
the certificate of deposit and expressed
a desire to change the specie from one
bank to the other as matter of con-
venience. 1t was an ordinary business
transaction and created no suspicion.
He then instead of drawing the six
thousand from Memphis, made a fresh
deposit of six thousand in Louisville.
This gave him bank capital sufficient
for ordinary and immediate use in cur
rency, and the fact that he had not
withdrawn the money from one bank
to put it in the other either escaped
notice at the time or was not regarded
as of any significance.
His next move was the formation of
a supposititious syndicate to purchase
the land in Tennessee for a national
sanitarium. This project was exploit
ed in the Kentucky papers with great
cunning. A corporation Of medical
men had surveyed the land and were
about to purchase it and erect mag
nificent hotel, and they had made Mr..
Hendricks handsome offer for it.
While all this was maturing the woman
whom Laport had met as Miss Frank
lin was making purchases in New York,

progues INTO wnIcn Win Ills crew he
transferred his plumber and then sank
the San Pedro, taking pains to arrange
it that much of her recognizable ma
terial would float
The specie being carefully concealed
in the holds of these fishing vessels and
covered with sea grass, they set out
north in pleasant weather, and arrived
off the coast of Alabama on or about
the 18th, and proceeded leisurely
in the ordinary manner of fishing
vessels at that season, the crew catch
ing large quantity of fish which they
packed in over the cargo. At Bayou
Lafouche Hendricks got rid Of tXentS
Y,ora u.eo who had directions TO sep
arate and rendezvous Il month later at
a poi.t or the Georgia coast where he
had taken on his Ammunition, it being
understood that he Evs.s going TO make
for Panama with his pirogues and
cargo.
Instead of doing this. he went
straight to New Orleans and hauled
both vessels up at Algiers where his
remaining crew We're kept aboard, and
for TWO days disposed of their fish.
These men were evidently picked and
retained for their reliability and were
thoroughly cognizant of the whole
scheme
Hendricks managed to arrive in New
Orleans as if by rail, and registered at
the st. Charles as Archibald Hendricks,
of Tennessee. As .Ie was already
known by that name at the hotel and
was known to be interested in some
land Improvement scheme, his subse-
ouent operations attracted no suspi-
cion. His captain and all but four OF
the men had been sent north in differ
ent directions to meet at the Laran
portal and the two badly smelling
pirosues that had slipped into Al
g;ers lay among lot of old craft in an
out of the way place, securely guarded
by the four men.
The moment Hendricks got to the no.
tel. he was able to learn all the facts
of the search. The Corinthian had
been two days and half at sea under
sail before she spoke westward bound
steamship, the Anglo-Saxon, and COM
municated the news. 1t was three
days and half before the Anglo
Saxon reached New York and the news
of the robbery preceded her from Eng
land by cable just six hours. Twelve
hours elapsed after the reception of
the news before the navies of England
and America were looking for the San
Pedro. Hendricks smiled as he saw
how narrow a margin he had sailed on.
Before the search was well under way,
he had been in the gulf and the
wreclage of the San Pedro, which he
was sure would come to light was, he
thought, fairly good chance of per-
plexity and delay on the one hand to
the pursuers and a safe location of the
plumber up to the moment of transfer
on the other. The betrayal of that
transfer depended on the twenty-five
men whom he had still in his service
and upon whom he believed he could
depend.
Hendricks was too shrewd man not
to see that his scheme however cum
ming would only hold for time. He
knew perfectly we'll that the sailors
whom he had got rid of, would proceed
Immediately to get drunk and in their
,recklessness expose the plot up to
certain point. But he believed their

CHAPTER TX.

CHAPTER TX
Eight months elapse. There is an
office in Memphis whose sign reads:
''Charles Fenning, Real Estate. Office
of the Laran Sanatarium."
1t has long been remarked that MIR.
Jennings mails are enormous. He
gets sometimes as many five hundred
letters in day. 1t is not known that
most if not all of these go to Laran.
But it is known to few persons in
Memphis that he has private wire to
one branch of the Laran establishment
and that he ships great quantities OF
goods in boxes and carts and barrels.
The fact is, Mr.. Charles Fenning is
Hendricks most confidential lieuten-
ant, and under the simple guise of real
estate operations ars1 an agency for
the furnishing of information about
the Laran sanatarium, stands as
close connecting link between his hid
den principal and the world with which
that principal is carrying on active
operations
His business is so pressing that he
works late at night in his Office. He
has two assistants; one is a messenger
and Office runner; the other is con-
fdential secretary, assistant and tel
egraph operator. She is a very pretty
young lady and her name is Cornelia
Laport.
Fenning has three rooms on the
ground floor; one is a public Office; an
other is a smaller and private Office; the
third room connecting with a side
street is shipping room and is well
filed at this time with goods waiting
to be sent to the depot on the Wash
bayou.
One night in April, the door to Mr..
Jennings public Office was opened-a
woman stepped in quickly and, shutting
it after her, glided across the room In
the direction of the private office,
merely saying in low tone: "Mr.Fen-
ming"
Mr.. Fenning was sitting at his desk
and Miss Laport, not ten feet away,
was seated at another sorting bundle
of letters
Without a moments hesitation MI.
FenninR followed the woman into the
private Office and closed the door.
They stood face to face and the wom-
an said immediately, with every indi-
cation that she had been walking rap
idly:
II have been followed from New
York. l must get to the bayou TO
night"
fleming showed no signs OF alarm.
Ne offered her a chair. do you think
anyone saw you come in here? he
asked.
