she knows what our cargo is"
"A pirate!' ejnculutcd the captain.
"I'll cut her in two," and he impulsive-
ly pulled one of the engineers bells.
In another moment the Corinthian
had changed her course point or two
and was heading for the San Pedro.
Both the men were intently regard
ing her through their glasses and the
passengers were crowdlng upon the
deck.
To their surprise they saw that the
San Pedro was moving in the same di-
rcction as themselves and throwing n
heavy cloud Of smoke.
'Run, you bloody little scoundrel!"
said the captain.
Scarcely had he got the words out of
his mouth before there was another
puff of smolse-this time from her
stern, and almost Immediately there
came crash and n hundred voices cried
out in alarm and Indignation.
The shot had struck the Corinthian
just nbaft the bridge; torn away about
ten feet of her upper works and gone
through the stern taffrail. Three men
were knocked down by the spliDters.
Capt. Jamison was livid with honest
rage and he stamped his foot and swore
terribly. "By the God of nations" he
said, ARE we living in the days of Capt.
Kidd, or in the nineteenth century,"
''I'd come to, If were you," said his
mate. "Thnt fellow will hull us pres
emily. We never can catch him"

party is made up tits understood that
we are going tarpon fishing off the
coast of Florida"
"What men have You got?"
There's your own list. I followed
it. There's thirty of 'em; with the
men we pick up at the coast there'll be
fifty in all. 1t isn't enough"
perhaps not" said Hendricks, "but
it isn't men we need if we get those
guns off all right"
"Well, let me tell you bout the
guns. 1t took thirty men and n
lighter two days to lift 'em afont.

"Of course l had tug, but l sent
her back before got through. She'd
like to have seen what l was up to.

hauled up in cove on the little coral
island of St. John. The other stuff is
on the coast"
Il understood the vessel to be a sea-
going schooner. She will have the
trade wind and she has got to be in the
exact spot on the 25th by dead reckon
ing" said Hendricks.
"Barrin' accidents and elements"
replied the captain, she'll be there
On the morning of the 25th, the
handsome steamer San Pedro which
had been lying at the levee in New
Orleans, took aboard q party of gentle
men and went down the river and out
to sea for a weeks tarpon fishing. The
moment she was in the gulf, she
headed south by west and on the after
noon OF the 25th encountered n
schooner from which she received the
guns that had been picked up on the
Bahiata bank.
On the 2Sth, she was off point on
the Georgia coast known rs the Piney
Stretch and sent boat ashore in the
night. An hour later she pulled into
a bay in the most deserted spot of that
coast and was loaded with a moderate
amount OF munitions of war. On the
morning OF the Goth she touched at St.
Augustine guardedly and there Hen
York in cipher. 1t read thus:
."The Corinthian sails ut six n. m. on
the Sd; three millions in gold; men all
taken passage"
What occurred after this can be best
told with the subsequent narrations
and confessions in view.
The English steamer Corinthian,
when three days out, sighted at nine
o'clock of clear, calm morning a
small steamer laying to with steam up,
two miles Off her port bow. Capt.
.Iamison, an Englishman and an ex-
perienced sailor, who was on the bridge
at the time, thought the vessel was n
large yacht and imagined from her
position that she was disabled and
wished to speak him. A moment later
a puff of smoke came from her side
and shot whistled across his bow.

what was to come. lie had sixteen
hundred miles to run. lie was loaded
heavily with coal and the gold had
weighted his vessel too seriously to
think of getting anything like the
speed out of her that he desired. She
was schooner.rigged and there was
stiff wind blowing from the northeast.
That was in his iavor. But he cacu-
lated thatif one of the westward bound
ocean grcyhounds spoke the Corinthian
and got her story, the news would
reach New York and set the telegraph
in operation much too soon for his
safety. He had informed himself of
the position of all the government ves-
sells and he knew that there was at
last accounts fast cruiser in Mobile
bay. He, therefore, calculated as close
1y as he could the chances of the Cor
inthian being intercepted; for, dis
ablcd as she was, it would be her cap
tain's plan to put her in the route of n
westward-bounds steamship.
He betrayed his anxiety to the cap
tain, but that pcrsonagc filed himself
with Medford rum and insisted that the
worst part Of the job was done.
The first thing that Hendricks did
was to throw his guns overheard to-
gether with all his supernuous shot
and ammunition. He then got up steam
and stood off in n southcasterly direc-
tion until the Corinthian was hull
down, when he shifted his course and
went directly west.
