fire to- the hemp. The crew did all that
was possible to fight the fire, but without
avail, and while they were running line
of hose into the hatch the Malay came cut
with n jump and went overheard. The
ship was doomed, and after one boat had
been swampcd by the men who had been
assigned to it all hands crowded into an
other boat, and after rigging a sail Of

nose of the little vessel for st. Helena, 200
miles away, and finally reached the island.
For dramatic completeness, grim TO-
nance and heart freezing terror there are
few tales OF the sea which equal that of the
Frank y. Thayer, as there are few which
reflect so much credit on the noble quail
ties of one Sea captains wife, fer there can
be little doubt that with the death of Cap
tain Clarke the terrible story would never
have been told and the loss of the Thaycr
would have been put down as one Of those
mysteries Of which the annals of the sea
are full.

them both to death, the second mate being
able after the blow to run to the cabin
door and call, Captain Clarke, Captain
Clarke, twice before he fell dead, and the
mate dying in the forocastle three hours
later. Captain Clarke sprang from his
bed, and half asleep started up the after
companionway. As soon as he reached the
top of the steps he received stab on the
top of the head and felt hand grab him
by the throat He was in his nightclothcs
and empty handed, but seeing the murder
Gus intent of his antagonist and that he
was one of the coolies he struck ont with
all his might, hitting the murderer in the
eyes and temporarily binding him so that
he could not see to strike. The Malay
continued to hack at the captain with his
knife, however, till they went down the
steps together, where the captain would
have overcome him had me not slipped in
pool of his own blood and fallen to the
floor. The cody then gave him II terrible
slash in the left side, and. thinking he was
dead, went up the steps to the deck. The
captain was not dead, however, hut OBJ

the door, calling to the nan at the wheel.

mandcd the captain. There's somebody
there, sir" replied Malone
This was only the teyinning of the
struggle, and the remainder of the story
tells how the captain, returning to the for
ward part OF the cabin, found tie second
mate dead on the floor and one of the sail
ors so paralyzed by fear that all he could
do was to beg the captain to hide him from
the Malays. Captain Clarke did not know
whether the man was to be trusted and
told him to go away, and the craven then
locked himself in the bathroom, where
the Malay from whom he was escaping
found him and tried TO induce him toopen
the door. He would not, and the next
thing was an attack On the man at the
wheel, who was stabbed and thrown over
board while still yelling for help.
A moment after this one of the murdcrcrS

as he was about to enter through the aIcr-
ture the captain fired two shots, striking
one OF the men in the foot and putting
them to flight Then, with the doors and

placed in q corner where he could com

Captains Wife--A Russian Sailor Runs
Amuck on the johannes.

Once more the ocean has furnished one
of those absorbing and thrilling tales which
cause landsmen to shudder and make
mothers, wives and sweethearts more than
ever anxious for the safety of those afloat
The little American barkentine Herbert
Fuller, creeping into the harbor of Halifax
the other day, with her boat towed by a
line at the stern, conveying the bodies of
her captain and his wife and the second
mate of the vessel, added another chapter
to the grewsOme record Of death which is
so familiar to those whose business con-
meets them with the sea or takes them ont
on the bosom of the waters. The mystery
of the whole affair only adds to its terrible
nature, and whether that mystery is ever
unravelcd or not there will always be a
thrill of horror when the picture of the lit
tie bark and her trailing boat comes before
the eye of the mind.
With all the brutal savagery of the stories
occasionally brought in from the sea. it is
doubtful if there is one recorded which has
\ more surprising combination of deviiish
courage. abject cowartiice and undauntcd
pluck and nerve than the mu:iny on board
the American ship Franf, n Thayer in 1856.
The ship sailed from Manila for New
York in November, 1855, carrying a crew
of % men, including two Malays and two
Cinnamon. There was iDthing remark

Having made both ends OF the ship secure
from the decks, the Malays next turned
their attention TO the carpenter and the
man on the lookout, whom they butchereti,
and then they had the decks to themselves,
save for the Chinese cook, All Say, who
was worse than useless, and he they i'm

then determined to make a desperate effort
to regain control of his vessel but the
Malays had prepared for battle and had
built harricade on the roof OF tine fcre
cabin and armed themselves with harpoons
and jayclins made by laShing knives to the
ends of long poles. The sailors, by order
of the captain, kept up such fiisillade of
revolver shots that the Maiays were finally
disicdged from their breastwonlls and the
captain, firing through the cabin to where
he knew they We're standing, struck one of
them, wounding him so badly that he ran
to the forward part of the ship. and. after
