There was not much more to the ty-

rolling swell.

The second officer seized rife and
rushed forward boldly. He saw Antoine
standing beside the forehatch, which he
had raised, and engaged in the act OF
throwing punches of lighted oakum into
the cargo of petroleum. He fired but
missed, and Antoine ran toward the bows,
when another shot was discharged at him,
and this time he showed sigma of being
wounded. Concealing himself behind this
windlass, he would allow nobody TO come
near him. He shot ct the man at the
wheel and struck him in the arm, CON-
pelling him to leave his post and let the
shin drift.
Why The cargo did not take fire was due
To the fact that onsiderable water had got
into the hold during the storm and the oak
um burned out before II dried the article
on which it fell. The wounded mate was
carried into the cabin and died shortly
from his injuries.
During the afternoon Antoine kept his
place behind the wiudiass and shot at
every body who appeared on deck or at
tempted TO steer the ship. Numerous at

The next day was busy one, as there
was an endless amount of work to be done
to clear away the wreckage. By noon,
however, the courses. topsails. staysails
and jib were all set and the ship making
fair time before the wind.
1t was not until things were about in
shape that it was noticed that Antoine IN
stead of doing his share of the work, had
been sulking in the forecastle.
He was called out and told by the first
officer to go aloft and remove some wreck

pulling knife a0d striking at the mate.
The men grappled a moment, but the
fight was ended by the mate receiving a
thrust under the ribs AM rolling over un-
conscious.
The fight took place few feet abaft the
n anmast and all hands rushed in that
direction. Antoine ran forward and pull
ing a revolver, which nobody knew he
had, commenced to shoot, so that the en-
tire crew were compelled to seek safety in

that all should arm themselves and three
men attack the man at the wheel, whom
they supposed to be Conrad. and the rest
were TO rush forward and make al attempt
to surround the foremost and kill Antoine.
AS soon as the door was opened a shot
came from the foretop and the captain fell
wounded III the side, but the others
rushed on.
The man at the wheel proved to be Con-
rad. He fired two shots from an old re-
volver without hurting anybody aud was
himself shot in the right shoulder and fell
bowling on the deck, begging for his life
and saying he was only trying to save the
vessel.
Those who attacked Antoine did not fare

forward he had shot and killed a seaman
and wounded the passenger.

which lasted several minutes. As there
was nothing for Antoine TO hide behind,
being exposed to fire from all sides, he was
at last shot through the chest and fell to
the deck a bleeding mass. he died in n
very few moments cursing those around
him.
The danger was not over, as the ship was
rushing toward the reef carried by wind
and tide.

in his own personality. 1t is In studying
these personal changes that the collector
finds the true charm of his pastime. These
transformations are seen with the greatest
accuracy in Napoleon's portraits and au to-
graphs. In these the difference is so
marked that one unacquaiuted with the

claiming that the portraits and autographs

There is much of the intellectual in his

BourrieDne, Bonaparte's favOrite secre-

counts of his life, says that artists might
represent Napoleon'S cOuntenance, but the
mobility of his glance was beyond imlta-
ton. ''In the same minute" says Bour-
rienne. there might be read in his quick
and piercing eye an expression, now
sweet. now stern, now terrible, and now
caressing."
After Napoleon became First Consul he
grew souter, and this tendency to aecumu-
late flesh continued up to the time of his
death at st. Helena. Some of the So
called portraits made of him while prls-

they came: on one side the reef could be
almost touched from the deck. There was
a harsh grating sound the keel had struck.
The vessel paused. shook from stem to

Bnt all danger was not passed. Not a

pirate, her decks crowded with men.
Without waiting for orders the crew of
the Mcleod seized their arms and COM
menced to fire into the mass of pirates
that swarmed upon the decks. This was
expected. The pirates stood 1t few mo-
ments ana then changed their course and
sailed away as fast as possible.
The body of Antoine was thrown over
board, and had no sooner touched the
water than it was seized by sharks.
On that one voyage Antoine was respon-
sible for three deaths and possibly four, if
true, as believed, that he threw the man
at the wheel overheard. Those whom he
wounded all recovered.
Conrad was put in irons until the vessel
reached Shanghai, where everybody on
board was brought UP before the British
Admiralty and tried on the charge of kill
ing the Finn. All were acquitted and
Conrad was given mis- liberty, because, for
several reasons, 1t looked as II little would
come OF his prosecution.
Ii seems, though, that he wanted re-
venge for the death of his partner, because
when the John Mcleod reached San Fran
cisco, which port she sailed for from
Shanghai, he was here. He had come by
steamer.
He applied to the Greek Consul and de-
manded the arrest of all on board the Nc
Leod for the murder of Antoine. The
Consul. however. discovered that the man
was not a Greek, and when shown the pa.

The ship was allowed to drift all night
and when the morning came the second
mate went TO take peep around the galley.
but had no sooner stepped on the deck
than he got bullet in the leg. 1t was
plain then that Antoine had changed his
DO sition and he was soon discovered in the
fOretop with rifle in his hand. 1t was
then noticed that the ship was sailing
fairly and beyond doubt some one was at
the wheel. All hands, including the dead
mate and the two wounded men, were in
the cabin, so there was no one that could
be steering except Conrad, who had not
been seen since the day before the storm.
This discovery did not make things any
pleasanter, especially as the sound of
breakers was soon heard. They could not
be seen on either side, so ii was apparent
t at they must be directly ahead and that
the vessel was being steered to certain
destruction.
A peculiar black and white flag was
noticed flying from the broken butt of the
main topgallant mast, and a suspicious
looking craft was noticed TO be making
toward the John McLead.
Things had reached most critical point
and 1t looked as il the pair of villains were
part of the pirate crew and intended to
wreck the vessel.
The boom of breakers became louder as
the ship was carried toward the dangerous
rocks. There were a few points of want
age from which the crew could look, blu t
nobody had been on deck since the second
officer was shot. Once or twice the cabin
door leading TO the main deck was opened
and an old hat poked out, but Antoine
would put hole IN it as quick as wink.

HUNTING PREHISTORIC MAN,
An Extensive and Tireless Search

any regard for his own reputation as our
oldest inhabtant he will lOse no time in

The department of archaeology of the
University of Pennsylvania has made still
further advances in it's search for pre-
historic man in the United States The
explorations of last summer along the
Delaware Valley determined the depart
ment on a new course of investigation,
Instead of trying 70 trace how fer back
man existed from gravel cuts and mounds.
IL was decided to Investigate in caves. For
this purpose party, headed by Fl. T.,
Mercer. started for the caves OF Texas and
Tennessee about two weeks ago. Their
Investigations troyed to be important. In
caves of Texas 1t has been asserted that
human remains had been found, with
which were found shells and pieces of
pottery. Thinking clew of the period
might be found the party explored caves
in Duval County and Bee County, Tex,
but discovered that the remains were
found in one layer. while the shells ana
pottery occupied higher layer, but had
fallen down by the gradual caving of the
bank, so that nothing important resulted.
In Tennessee, however, some important
discoveries were made. Tine Nickaiack
and Lookout caves, near Knoxville, were
thoroughly explored, and human remains
were found. while in the same layer were
found bones of the deer, tortoise, elk,
rabbit. raceoon, soft she'll turtle. catfish,
opussum. spade-footed toad, wildcat, wild
turkey, squirrel and others, besides seven
species Of unIvalve shells. There is no
question but that man was associated with
these animals, as but one layer exists, and
the bones have been positively Unidentified
by Professor +. ID. Cope.
The most interesting feature. however,
was the discovery in the same layer of the
bones of the extinct peccary. which have
also been found in New Jersey, and also
of TWO teeth of the tapir. The character
of the other relics proved the cave tn be
inhabited by Indians, while the fact that
but one layer eXisGs leads to the belief th at
they had no predecessors IN that region.
The discovery of the tapir adds one to the
list OF animals extinct in that region, and
dates the Indian further back than had
previously been discovered.
