and there was a moon, which rose just
about the time we were ready to EN-
bark on our trip-between ana
o'clock. We had driven down from
the colonePs house, some two or three
miles, over rough road, in single
seated buggy; on arriving at the beach,
we found the faithful Charles await

Has the fellow made any signs of
life yet?" demanded the colonel, as his
servent helped him to alght.

piled. "Dey's like as if dey wus gone

'bliged for to promise 'em extra pay to
take US out, sah."
'Ah the rascals! Let them alone not
to lose a chance of turning penny!
So, the crew out yonder's asleep, are
they? Well, We'll wake 'em before long.
Push off, give way, there, and be
lively!'
The rowers-there were four of them
bent to their oars, and we swept out
into the still lagoon the rising moon
sending her leyel rays into our faces
from the left, and the end of the
coloners big cigar glowing beneath
his grim mustache. owing to the po-
sition of the moon, itwas difficult to
discern anything of the ship, which
lay upwards of two miles out; she was
a shadow, and little more. AS we ad-
vanced, a silence fell upon us; nothing
was heard but the regular breathing
of the men, the clip of the oars as they
took the water, and the creak of the
rowlocks. After we had proceeded for
about twenty minutes, another sound
became audible-the gentle breaking
of the swell upon the reef. We We're
now scare a mile away from it, and
the ship was silhouetted against the
whitish glisten of the sea beyond her.
But no noise, no movement, no light

terious. ] glanced at the colonel who
sat with the tiller ropes grasped in
his hands steering straight for the ship.

red cap on-or is it a red feather in his
hat?-doesn't know what he's about.
He can't intend to come ashore here;
and yet that's just what he seems to be
doing"
Hes a duffer; he might be French
man, by the way he behaves" said the
colonel, resuming the glass. -'"They're
an misunderstanding gang, sure
enough, those chaps are; look as II
they might be the remains of some OF
DuCasse's pirates, kept alive for their
sins" he added with a, chuckle. 'Rec-

my collection, the other day. I'll look 1t
up. BY Jove, that red-feathered fellow

COLONEL its failing US just when we

In fact, the sun was setting; and as
our outlook was toward the southeast
the shadow of the gigantic Blue Peak
was thrown upon that part of the oitlng
where the ship was. She was merged
in it, and it was no longer possible TO
distinguish what was going forward
on her decks. 1t seemed that the
sheets were hauled aft, as If to take ad-
vantage of breeze imperceptible to
us; but the effect was to head the ves-
sci directly toward the reef, from
which she now seemed to be but few
hundred yards distant. On she came,
the water rippling from her bluff bows,
and rising and sinking slowly on the
long swell. She was moving oblquely
relative to us, her port side being half
turned to us. Now long line of white
surf broke almost under her nose.
"By Jove, there she goes" cried the
colonel, jumping to his feet excitedly.
He's done it"'
AS he spoke her forward part was
uplifted by a roller and came down
heavily on the reef. The shock caused
her main topmast to break short off at
the cap, and it hung down amidst n
tangle of cordage. Meanwhile, unless
my eyes deceived me, a flag was run up
to her mizzen: but it was too dusky to
distinguish what device it bore.
Tropical twilights are short; and al
most at the moment the ship struck the
air seemed to become perceptibly
darker. Probably a cloud had passed
across the west. On the horizon to the
southeast, however, a mass of cloudy
vapor was beautifully lighted up by
the reflections of the sunset splendor
and colored with tints of exquisite del
icacy.. 1t moulded itself into various
similitudes OF form, and finally took

pause, wasn't it that same DuCasse

The colonel was obviously taken by
surprise; he had no notion that ] knew

and bristled; but there,wa no getting

Colonel Enderby had been an honored
resident of jamaica for twenty years
or more; he came here with brilliant
reputation, won in the Indian mutiny.

of them, a little way up a mountain
side, enjoying the air of the late after
noon and a most delicious prospect of
sea and coast.
During the pause that followed the
order given to Charles my eyes were
caught by ship some miles distant in
the offing. She added the needed touch
of human interest to the view, and
watched her proceedings with pleased
and idle attention.
What sort of a craft do you call
that, colonel?" / asked, at length. "She
looks to me more like Chinese junk

early history of Jamaica; but this ves-

say-and her lines were peculiar and
rather awkward she was high in the
bows and in the stern, after the fashion
of the ships we see in old marine paint
ings, and her spars and rigging, alse,
had very antique look. She resembIed
a Chinese junk more than anything;
but there were differences, She, was

ever was. that heard Of; and her sails

that of an antique vessel very much re-
sembling the one on the reef-a gi-
gantic ghost of ship, which glowed
with phantom fire through its port
holes, and finally vanished in pillar of
gray diaphanous smoke.
The practical and energetic colonel
doubtless did not witness this pictur-
esque ornament of the scene. His mind
was full of the actual situation down
there on the reef; and though he had
so vigorously denounced the stupidity
of the "red-feathered chap" and even
gone so far as to accuse him of French
mess, he now began to consider plans
for succor
"Why don't he show any lights,
thought" he muttered. Has he the
idea that he has come ashore on an un-
inhabited island?'
IF he has been cruising about since
1894, possibly he has run out of his
stock of rockets and candles?" | sug
gested
do you see any signs of his putting
off a boat?" continued the warrior.

port of a gun came from her. And yet,

what do you make of Itch 2"
| demanded the colonel, chatting under
his perpleXity.
| "The case strikes me as very simple"
/ replied. "She Is, as you say, a sort
| of Flying Dutchman affair. She has
been doomed for certain number of
years or centuries to sail the seas that
witnessed her crimes; and tonight her
season of earthly purgatory has ex-
pred. Her crew, who of course were
simply dead bodies animated by de-
mons, having nauigated her to the
point she started from, have now taken
flight to their own abode
Here the colonel interrupted me with
an indignant snort.
Testing is all very WELL" quoth he;
but what's to- be done about those
poor devils down on the reef? 1t may
come. ON a storm before morning, and
every mothers son of 'em be drowned

i Nothing would please me better. I
have always wanted to board phan-
\ tom ship, colonel, and there is no man
whom I would prefer to yourself for
my companion in such an adventure. "

Charles, ordered him to have dinner as
lcsoon as possible, and gave him further
instructions relative to our proposed
expedition. ~.

But tOlOnSl MaberIy GOt nicely DECORATED

From the Sheffield Telegraph.
"On one OCCASION" says Anthony
Trollope, in his autobiography, ''it was
my duty to put a private letter, contain
ing bank notes, on Colonel Maberly'S
table. The letter was seen by the col
Onel, but before it could be dealt with,
he was called from the room. On his
return it was gone. In the meantime,
l had returned to my room in the per-
formance of some duty. When the let
there ] found the colonel much moved
about this letter, and a certain chief
clerk, who. with a long face, was max
ing suggestions as to the probable fate
of the money.
1.-The letter has been taken" said the
colonel, turning to me angrily, land,
confound you, there has been nobody
in the room but you and I"' AS he
spoke he Numbered his fist down upon
the table. Then said j, "by Jove,
you have taken itr' and l also thun-
dered my fist down-but accidentally
not upon the table. There was there
standing a moving desk at which. l
presume, it was the colonels habit to
write, and on this movable desk was &
large bottle full of ink. My fist un-
fortunately came down ON the desk, and
the ink at once flew up, covering the
coloners face and shirt front.
Then it was sight to see that senior
clerk as he seized. a quire of blotting
paper and rushed to the aid, of his slI-
peror officer, striving to wipe up the
ink; and a sight to see the colonel in his
agony hit straight out through the
blottng paper at the senior clerks un-
offending stomach. At that moment
there came in the colonel's private
secretary with the letter and the money,
and | was desired to go back to my

"You KNOW" said Colonel Enderby,
''it's 200 years to day, almost, since
that DuCasse affair occurred along this
very bit of coast we are looking at"
When the colonel begins piece of in
formation by the words ''you KNOW"
/ am always prepared to hear some
thing concerning which l was totally
ignorant; and l fancy the colonel would
be surprised to find it otherwise.
Now, it so happened that l had heard
of the French admiral. DuCasse, as

maica nevertheless, not to disappoint

terrogative tone: "Oh. .DuCasse?"

sent out here with fleet to see what
he could pick up. It'was a couple of
years after the great earthquake that
sunk Port Royal: but there was plenty
of booty to be had in the island yet,
and the Frenchman knew it, He
fetched up one fine day off Morant bay,
yonder, and set ashore a part of his
force there, and a part further down
the coast, at Cow bay-we drove along
by there this morning. Well, he caught
us mapping, that's the truth. He and
his rabble were no better than the
worst of pirates. They made bloody
work of it, tell you; men, women and
children-slaughtere 'em ALL sir by

but I've always wished l could have a
chance to get back at 'em; and maybe
