catching large quantity Of fish, which
they packed in over the cargo At Bayou
Lafouche Hendricks got rid of twenty
mere men, who had directions to separate
and rendezvous a month later at a point
on the Georgia coast where he had taken
on his ammunition, 1t being understood that
he was 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
were kept aboard, and for two days dis
posed Of their fish. These men were evil
IDENTIFY picked and retained for their re-
liability and were thoroughly cognizant Of
the whole scheme.
Hendricks managed to arrive in New
Orleans as II by rail, and registered at the
st. Charles as Archibald Hendricks Of Ten
nessee. AS he was already known by that
name at the hotel and was known to be in
terested in some land improvement scheme,
his subsequent operations attracted no sus-
picion. His captain and all but four of the
men had been sent north in different direc-
tons to meet at the Laran portal and the
two badly smelling pirogues that had slipped
into Algiers 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 hotel
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
SpOhe d WeStWarQ-DOunQ steamship, the
Anglo-Saxon, and communicated the news.
1t was three days and a half before the
Anglo-Saxon reached New York, and the
news of the robbery preceded her from
England 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 we'll under way he had been in the gulf,
and the wreckage of the San Pedro, which
he was sure would come to light, was, he
thought. fairly good chance Of perplexity
and delay, on the one hand, to the pursuers
and safe location of the plumber up to the
moment of transfer. 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 a man not to
see that his scheme, however cunning,
would only hold for time He knew per-
fectly 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

This brigandage in pennies grows to be a
passion with the Paris servant girl 1t is

and 1t Is astonishing to what sums small
pennies may amount. For example an
