FLORIDA'S REEFS.
One of the Most Dangerous Regions In
the World for Nayigators.

the World for Naytgators.
The most dangerous part of the coast
Of the United States extends from the
southernmost cape Of the peninsula OF
Florida to the Dry Tortugas, lying in
the Gulf of Mexico, sixty-two miles
from Key West. For distance of two
hundred miles the coast line is here
made up by semi-circular chain Of
islands, along whose seward edge lie
the sunken reefs of Florida. These
reefs are of choral formation, and are
washed by the warm water of the Gulf
Stream as it floats through the straits
on its way northward. This river in
the ocean, flowing always In one direc-
ton, with an average velocity of two
miles an hour, produces strong coun-
ter-currents over the reefs and along
shore. Threatening tide-rips, eddies
and whirlpools are continually set 60
ing, which tends to battle the eyer-eau-
tious mariner and carry his ship to GER
tain destruction.
Cape Hatteras, with its tickle cur
rents and shifting bars, SO dreadful to
the mariner, has been the scene of
many shipwrecks, but the number is
small when compared to those which
ha se met their fate in the Gulf Stream
and beyond the pale of assistance.
Hundreds of vessels daily pass through
the Florida straits on their way to for
eigIl ports and those which are located
on the shore of the Gulf, and in order
to avoid the adverse currents vessels
skirt along the edge of the stream and
the long arid reef, with its succession
of varied Sengers, menacingly paving
the way like teeth in sharks jaw.
However uncertain the navigator of
the water adjacent to these reefs may
be by day, it becomes tenfold more haz.
ardous by night. Notwithstanding the
fact that chain of lights on the DESC
late reefs cast ruddy glare to the
mariner on the sea, yet ''plain sailing"
is out of the question, for the beacons
are at an average distance of twenty
FIVE miles apart, and all other day
marks being hidden by the darkness Of
night, the navigator feels his way with
ouly the compass and deep-sea lead &c
} guide him. The consciousness that q
slight divergence from the proper
! course may lead to disaster keeps him
on the pins and needles of anxiety,
Ships have run upon these coral

CHAPTER XIII

Jackson rctreatcd no farther than Strashurg. Shields advanced no farther than Winchester. Prisoners captured during the first year of the war were not held long, Within 30 days from the battle of Kernstown those members of Captain Wyle's company who had been taken prisoners were exchanged. Ike Baxter was among them.
 Two days after the battle Kenton had reported to his company at Strasburg. It was known that he was captured with the others, and his truthful story of his escape found no believers except Steve Brayton. While the others de- clared that his escape was all arranged for by his Yankee friends, Steve gave him his hand and said:
 It's gettin purity hot fur yo' around we're, Kenton, 'co1din to what see and hear. If yo' could surround and cap tur' hull Yankee army and turn it over to us, the boys would think yo' un had some game to play. Reckon yo' know whar 1t all starts from?''
 II think 1 do.
 Cant no two fellers love the same gal without sunthIn bustIn sooner or later. l kin jest shet my eyes and see what the captain is layin fur. He un's achin powerful bad to hev yo' killed of or driv out or used up in some way. He wouldn't hev minded if half of us had bin wiped out down thar if yod bin one of the dead" "
 Two or three days after Jackson reached StrasbuIg Captain Wyle had an interview with him. None of his own company knew it, and what passed could only be inferred from circum- stances which developed later on. It was announced that it had been decided to reorganize the guards as a cavalry company, and in the course of week this change was effected, much to the satisfaction of the men. Just as it was finished Royal Kenton was ordered to report to Jackson again. He found the same stern, low spoken, plain looking man and received the same quiet greet ing. The general adverted to the brav- cry of the guards at Kernstown, and then to Kenton's capture and escape and asked for the details. The latter at once realized that some one who pro fessed to know all about it and who was oOch'uS HIS luJuIy Hdu TepOIlSu LO lu0 general. He, however, proceeded to give the particulars not only of his es- cape and his efforts to rejoin his com mand, but of the charges brought against him by Ike Baxter and the in- terview with General Shields. This por- tion of his adventure he had not spoken of to any one on rejoining his company. Jackson seemed to be thinking very se- riously as Kenton talked. The facts just related no doubt surprised him and perhaps gave different turn to affairs. After awhile he said:
 General Banks is pushing up the valley with large force. wish you to scout along his front and secure all possible information of value. Can you set out at once?"
 Within half an hour, sir," was Kenton's reply.
 "And do you wish companionf"
 ''I think can do better alone, but

as she heard the news from the captain, but her sorrow did not last long.
 'Drat that Ike fur fool!" she sud- de1Y1y exclaimed as grief gave place to indignation. Didn't he un promise me last thing befo' him went back that if him ever got into another fout he un would scrouch down so the bullets would fly over him! It's all in him-al- lus wantin and hevin his own way spite of all kin do.''
 Ike and the others would have been all right if they had not been betrayed, observed the captain.
 ''Shoo, that s what Ike was afraid of! Was it that Yankee agin-that Lawyer Kenton:'
 The captain nodded his head.
 Ike hates him. So do l. If he un hadn't stood in Ike's way, Ike would hey bin a gineIal befo' this. The onery skunk. to betray his own comrades! If 1 could git hands on he un, I'd kill him! I'll never rest till hev hls life. even if Ike lets up"
 Have you seen the-the Percys late ly?" asked the captain as Mrs. Baxter got ready for another wave of sorrow.
 Did Ike tell yo'?" she whispered.
 "Partly.'
 I've bin tryin to do as we planned. but couldn't fetch it. Ike thought as I might get place in the house, but they uns hev got too many triggers fuh that"
 All their women have cut and run not one left. If you should happen to offer your services there now, think they d be accepted"
 "ShOo, nigger women all gOne?"

 "I'l go over thar this very hour!" said Mrs. Baxter as she reached for her sunbonnet. "Capting, was Ike right when he said this yere Yankee stood in his way"
 "Yes. he wa;."
 Was he right when he said if we uns could get the Percy gal to hate him he would bother nobody no mo'?'
 Yes"
 If the Yankee was shot or killed or sunthin, would Ike ride around on critter and dangle a sword?"
 Its quite likely. What plan have you got"
 Jest leave that to me! Mebbe l haven t got any, and mebbe I've got heap of 'em!'
 Here i5 what you are to remem- ber,'' he said as he rose up to go. If
