trying to gain a narrow part of the ravne
ahead OF u.s. Our only chance was to get
there first. Yells of rage. and a few balls
Whisting over our heads testified to their
anger as we reached it, a long way ahead
OF them. We passed through where the
walls were 50 close we had to take to
the water. Splashing and stumbling, we
were in danger of being swept away by
the swiftness of the current, and with
dlflcuIty reached a narrow fiat covered
with trees
small tributary stream came rushing
down a small gorge to our left, whose per-
pendicular sides we knew would check for
a time the Indians above. We crossed the
narrow stream, and Ned taking a rest in
the notch of tree, quietly waited for the
saVages. They soon appeared, dancing
along the cliff with wild yells and swing
ing their weapons around their heads. The
sharp report of Neds rifle drove them
back, but one poor wretch jumped high in
the air, his head and shoulders hanging
over the cliff showing plainly he would
fight no more.
Still keeping on our way we ate some
Jerky, and now that the danger of imme-
date attack was gone, began to feel our
wounds again. AS we reached the lower
end of the fat we thought at first the
creek forked but a closer view proved 1t
to be second tributary. 1t was a slug

We decided to keep to the main ravine
as the other would throw an additional
obstacle in the way of our enemies. We
saw a wide space Of wet sand would have
to be crossed before we could reach It., so
prior to starting Pete stopped to strap up
my shoulder, which was very painful, Ned
pushing on, anxious to gain the shade The
sun which had risen above the hills
poured down his beams with unsual power
on my infiamed shoulder, and l was glad
when Pete commenl ed to battle the wound
Suddenly an awful cry Of fear made our
hearts stand still. Half way across the
junction our partner had sunk to his waist
the sand shaking and trembling with his
efforts to escape.
"oh, Godr' shouted Pete 'lt is quick

Paying no heed 70 my warning cry, Pete
rushed TO his assistance, but the surface
Of the sand had been broken through. and
In such a case for quite a distance It be-

horror ! saw my second comrade sink to

i had sufficient presence OF mind left TO
notice a ridge of rock extending from the
point on the opposite side toward
me. A similar one q few yards to my
right ran Out to meet it, and though The
intermediate space was sand, trusted I
should lind a footing. Running with a
prayer on my lips and my eye fixed on the
further side, l went out on the dangerous
quagmire. Pete could just reach the end

himself forward. i pulled TIL the blood

swell it. a little jerked meat goes long
way, and carefully tying up what remained
we resumed our journey.
The ledge being nearly three feet wide,
we made good Roadway, being careful not
to trip over the vines or punches of fern in
our path. We found the rifles all right
and were singing them over our backs
when we heard far up the ravine the pc
culiar signalling cry of the Indians, made
by striking the mouth smartly with the
palm of the hand and hallooing at the
same time. Echo after echo made it i'm

Looking down from an overhanging rock

giddy It was with difficulty l could keep

At last with thankful hearts we reached
the further end, and, descending the
now sloping ledge, stood on the natural
dam. 1t was fully twelve feet high, but
the water squirting from between the
logs. from top to bottom, proved its com
paratively recent formation. l hardly re-

cliffs. Half asleep. and still unable to
think where | was, / sat up. In the gray
morning light l saw Ned, rifle in hand,
climbing up the dam, and in a moment all
came flashing through my mind. Two
minutes after l had Joined him, and rails
ing our heads above the logs, we looked
round us. To our right, where the ledge
sloped, Pete was lying at full length re-
loading his rifle. Several indistinct fig
ures, also on the ledge, were In the same
position at the further end Of the bank.
Some splashing in the water under them
proved our partner had not wasted his
powder. Ned now fired with no percepti-
BILE effect, as a great mass Of rock struck
the water Immediately in front OF us.
A pain In my shoulder, as though II were
pierced by red-hot iron. made me shrek
and tear out the arrow that caused it,
Rocks, stones, arrows and spears dashed
up the water and ratified against the dam

stone had brought him to his knees the
blood pouring over his face proving how
badly he was hurt. Pete, struck by a
smaller missile la the back, fell, but was
on his feet again IN a moment. How we
escaped 80 well seemed almost miraculous
but we managed to get away somehow
Fortunately the ravine had widened ouf

in the sand, but rested on a hard boz
tom. A few more seconds, and with Gu
rious sucking sound, Pete's legs were free.
A foot more and / grasped his hand; an
other pull and he was on his feet beside
me.
With a shudder and something like a
sob my partner pointed to the spot where
poor Ned had been. A silence fell on us
both more eloquent than words. A slight
depression in the sand filled by a pool Of
water marked his grave
led the way back to our starting point
testing every step l took. Following up
the tributary for a short distance, and
crossing on a rocky bar we skirted the
point, and once more pushed on.

ing the moisture from his face, said
hoarsely, this fearful heat means

A BOLD MOVE.
Filibuster Steamer Dauntless win
Clear for Cuba by Permission.

Filibuster Steamer Dauntless VIII
Clear for Cuba by Permission.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 3O.-For
the first time since the present strug-
gle in Cuba began this government
has given permission to a customs Of
fetal to clear for Cuba vessel load
ed, according to her manifest, with
munitions of war and presumably for
the insurgent army. The vessel is
the well known alleged filibuster,
''Dauntless," but the concession that,
under these circumstances, she is en-
titled to clear any papers leaves the
situation as far as she is concerned
quite as involved as before, as the
statutes prescribe that before clear
ance shall be granted for any vessel
bound to a foreign port, the owners,
shippers, and cOnsignOrs of the cargo
shall state, under oath. the foreign
port at which the cargo is to be land
ed and severe penalties arep rescribed
for violation and this requirement in
cludes confiscatiOn of the vessel.
Some time yesterday the secretary
of the treasury received a telegram
from the attorney of the owners of
the Dauntless at Jacksonville stating
the owners of the Dauntless and her
cargo would apply to the collector of
customs at Jacksonville for clearance
to Cuban port with q cargo of arms,
stating however, that the oaths re-
quired by the statutes would not be
taken. The question was asked
whether under these circumstances
papers would be issued. Later in the
day q telegram was received by the
collector at Jacksonville stating that
application to clear the DauntleSs for
the port of Nuevitas, Cuba. with a
cargo of arms had been made and
asking for instructions. This morn
ing the secretary replied substantial
ly as follows: IF the master of the
vessel and the owners. shippers and
consigners of the cargo comply fully
with all the laws and regulations con-
corning the manifest and take the
oaths required you may grant clear
ing to- Neuvitas, Cuba. The oaths
must be taken and subscribed in
writing as required by sections 4197,
419S and 1900 of the revised stat
uteS"
The port named in the application
as the destination of the cargo is on
the northern coast of Cuba and occu-
pied by the Spanish forces. The
treasury officials therefore are of the
opinion that the oath required by the
statutes will not be taken.

SHEEP MEN WILL KEEP OUT.

Denver, Col, Dec. 30-War between
the Colorado cattle men and Utah
sheep men in Colorado has been
averted. 1t seems the sheep men in
Utah were under the impression the
quarantine proclamation issued by
Governor Mcintyre would become
void on his retirement from office
January 10Th. and while Governor
Adams was getting ready to issue a
new proclamation they could move
their sheep into the state and
be in possession of the ranges before
anything could be done to drive them
out. Attorney General Carr having
given the opinion that the proclama-
ton remains in force until it is re-
scinded by executive order the sheep
men have decided not to invade this
