There was another source of anxiety
in his crew, but here his matchless
cunning and self-reliance stood him
| well in hand. He knew what he could
| do with them if he got within American
| waters, and theywere equally anxious
with himself to get off the high seas.
| It blew a stiff gale all the first night
J and his vessel labored badly. Finally
he took his captains advice, which was
| to save his coal till he wanted to show
his heels to something and take it easy
under sail. The consequence was that
it was nearly six days before he struck
the Gulf stream and he had not seen a
puff of black smoke on the horizon.
He had provided himself with four
boats, and managed to land thirty of
his men with q thousand dollars of
American gold eagles in each mans
pocket, at San Augustine in the night.
They were as anxious as he to part
company, and with a thousand dollars
every man of them felt as rich as his
leader. The moment he had reduced
his crew, he clapped on steam, went
down the coast and rounded Cape Fear
well to the south. He is known to have
landed a few more men somewhere on
the coast of southern Georgia, similarly
paid off in gold. He then sailed south
and laid off and on for six hours, and
finally met two stoutly built fishing
pirogues into which with his crew he
transferred his plumber and then sank
the San Pedro, taking pains to arrange
it that much of her recognizable ma
terial would float.
The specie being carefully concealed
in the holds of these fishing vessels and
covered with sea grass, they set out
north in pleasant weather, and arrived
off the coast of Alabama on or about
the 18th, and proceeded leisurely
in the ordinary manner of fishing
vessels at that season, the crew catch
ing large quantity of fish which they
packed in over the cargo. At Bayou
Lafouche Hendricks got rid of twenty |
more men who had directions to sep |
arate and rendezvous a month later at |
a point on the Georgia coast where he |
had taken on his ammunition, it being |
understood that he was going to make

NJ steam yessel could keep atioat nnd

! No steam vessel could keep afoat and
coaled up over a week without rum
ming across q cruiser The special
conspiracy and the abandonment of
the San Pedro were therefore inevit-
able deductions. The purchase of the
use of the San Pedro, the shipment of
the men at New Orleans, the landing
of the men on the southern coast must
all sooner or later focus the search at
New Orleans. But by that time he
would be out of sight.
Two facts were of special import:
The officer and boats crew that had
boarded the Corinthian had been pho
tographed by one of the passengers on
the steamship, but while this fact had
been communicated to New York, the
photographs had been carried to Eng
land. The other fact was that the
passengers all had the impression that
the vessel and crew were Spanish and
had gone eastward.
Two days had not elapsed before the
two pirogues with their masts cut off
were taken in tow by a small side
wheeler and pulled up the river. They
were loaded with derricks and heavy
timber. Hendricks had inserted an
advertisement in the papers and it was
known he was purchasing material for
his improvements somewhere on the
Mississippi.
On the morning that the little side
wheeler went slowly up the river in
plain view of New Orleans, the United
States cruiser Dakota picked up and
identified some of the upper works Of
the San Pedro in the gulf, and a sensa.
tional story appeared in a New York
paper which stated that the conspiracy
to rob the English steamship had been
Matched in the United States treasury
department, and that the San Pedro
had transferred her cargo in the bay
of Campeachy and the treasure was
now hiding at or near the Bancas di
Sisal. off Yucatan.
Everything now depended on the
pirogues reaching the Wash bayou be-
fore the true clew led to New Orleans.
1t was seven-hundred-mile journey,
and the vessels crawled along at a pace
of only eight miles an hour. Hen
bricks himself went direct to Memphis
by rail, and after several days of intol-

for Panama with his pirogues and

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 disposed of their fish.
These men were evidently picked and
retained for their reliability and were
thoroughly cognizant of the whole
scheme.
Hendricks managed to arrive in New
Orleans as if by rail, and registered at
the st. Charles as Archibald Hendricks,
of Tennessee. AS he was already
known by that name at the hotel and
was known to be interested in some
land Improvement scheme, his subse-
squent operations attracted no suspi-
=cion. His captain and all but four OF
the men had been sent north in differ
ent directions to meet at the Laran
portal and the two badly smelling
pirogues that had slipped into AL
giers lay among a. lot of old craft in an
out of the way place, securely guarded
by the four men.
The moment Hendricks got to the he
tel, 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 spoke a westward bound
steamship, the Anglo-saxon, and COM
municated the news. 1t was three
days and half before the Anglo
Saxon reached New York and the news
of the robbery preceded her. from Eng
land 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 well under way,
he had been in the gulf and the
wreclage of the San Pedro, which he
was sure would come to light was, he
thought, q fairly good chance of per-
plexity and delay on the one hand to
the pursuers and safe location of the
plumber up to the moment of transfer
on 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 man not
to see that his scheme however cum
ming would only hold for a time. He
knew perfectly well that the sailors
whom he had got rid of, would proceed
immcdiately to get drunk and in their
recklessness expose the plot up to a
certain point. But he believed their
stories under whatever promise Of
pardon or compulsion of punishment
could get no farther than the state
ment that the San Pedro had sailed for
Panama or Venezuela. The knowledge
of the transfer to the pirogues was
locked up in his own immediate con-
federates. This fact he reasoned
would not prevent the ultimate discov-
cry of the real truth, but it would de-
lay it sufficiently for him to get safely
to his subterranean retreat with his
plumber. Common piracy was not an
idea that anybody would entertain

| cradle anxiety and constant expecta-
| plumber had been tracked to the river,
he had the satisfaction of see
| ing his cargo from the hotel win
dow slowly and laboriously crawling
up the stream undisturbed.
He got aboard the steamboat about
| ten miles above Memphis, and, finding
Capt. Blinn aboard, he having been
similarly picked up, they congratu-
lated each other.
The vessels were run safely into the
Wash bayou at night unobserved, and
the whole energy of Hendricks and his
confederates was then directed to the
transportation of the specie to the
western end of the Laran cave.
In spite of the urgent need of haste,
this was done deliberately and method
ically, and the wild, deserted coun-
try favored the task. Mule teams
were provided; the two journeys were
made at night under guard, and in
three days after the landing there were
two million nine hundred thousand
dollars in the Laran cave.
Hendricks plans for the immediate
use of some of the money are in part
known. Three months before the rob-
berry of the steamship, he had, by some
scheme, managed to borrow six thou
sand dollars, which he converted into
gold and deposited in the First ma
tional bank of Memphis to be drawn
against. He now went to the Second
national bank of Louisville, KY, with
the certificate of deposit and expressed
a desire to change the Specie from one
bank to the other as a matter of con-
venience. 1t was an ordinary business
transaction and created no suspicion.
He then instead of drawing the six
thousand from Memphis, made Il fresh
deposit of six thousand in Louisville.
This gave him o bank capital sufficient
for ordinary and immediate use in cur
rency, and the fact that he had not
withdrawn the money from one bank
to put it in the other either escaped
notice at the time or was not regarded
as of any significance.
His next move was the formation of
a supposititious syndicate to purchase
the land in Tennessee for national
sanitarium. This project was exploit
ed in the Kentucky papers with great
cunning. A corporation of medical
men had surveyed the land and were
about to purchase it and erect mag
nificent hotel, and they had made Mr..
Hendricks handsome offer for it.
While all this was maturing the woman
whom Laport had met as Miss Frank
lin was making purchases in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia and shipping
goods to Memphis and Frankfort. Her
plan was to mako small purchases at
widely separated stores, giving gold in
payment and getting currency in
change She must have sent to Hem
bricks during a month of operations
several thousand dollars in bills.
