sons Treasure Island"
In 1912 a CHILEAN naval officer namyI
Ramiro got at the Information held
back by the authorities and went to
Acapulco and charted the Malek Abel.
Then. as now. the seamen OF all ma
tionaaities that are to be found In
South American ports are a bad lot,
and shipmasters avoid them II possi-
BILE. but Ramiro made up his crew
among them and sailed for the islands.
Four months after a ships launch
came into Valparaiso with two men,
nearly dead with hunger and wounds,
and they told this story: The Malek
Adel got to its destination and beyond
doubt found some treasure-enough,
anyway, to set the rufianly crew wild.
They rose in mutiny. the officers forth
fed themselves in the cabin, and there
was a mutual killing until one Of the
mutineers got into the hold and put.
ting a key Of powder underneath, blew
up the cabin. and the men in the
launch. who were the sailing master
and the steward, alone escaped.
LAST OF THE MUTINEERS.
The CHILEAN government sent a we'll
armed vessel to look for the mutineers.
There were. according to the natives,
81 left. and half of these were cut of
by a war party that landed at night
from the Marquisas and attacked the
crew while sleeping. The others fitted
up their long boat and sailed for the
Sandwich islands. They were never
heard of again. That some of the
buried spotis came into the natives
hands Is true, as years after a magni-
fcent diamond and ruby ring was
bought from a woman by a whaler.
The Malek Adel was brought to VAL
paraiso, ref1tted. and became a snug
gler on the coast Of California. During
the Mexican war our government seiz-
ed her at Monterey for supplying arms
to the Mexicans, and John Grady, who
died In Swanson street In 1890, was one
OF the prize crew. Her Mexican own
ers got her back. and in 1853, with a
large excursion party ON board, she
capsized on a perfectly calm day of

carp EXPLAINS.
San Francisco, Dec. 3.-Referee carp.
whose decision Of the Sh~arkey-Fkx-
simmons fight caused en- indignant
demonstration from the crowd at the
ringside last night, stated this morning
that when he decided the contest IN
favor of Sharkey. he did 80 because he
believed that Fitzsimmons deliberately
fouled him and under the rules the sail
or was entitled to the decision. He
would have been willing to allow half
lie. fouls that might be con-
partly aocidmtal-to pass by
with only a r~eprinand. but in such =
case as this he could only do his duty.
He said: There is one thing I re-
greet. Ishould have given sharkey the
fight earlier in the contest. In the
fourth round. I think 1t was, Fitsstm,'
mons landed = left-hAnded blow and re-
turned with his elbow, cutting shar.
keys eyebrow opsn. The foul blow OF
tho eighth was seen plainly by me.
Fftxaimmons smashed with his right
on shArkey's shoulder and then with
uppercut with his left he struck the
sailor below the belt. Sharkey va
leaning over and the blow knocked
him down. It was clearly \ foul. and
before the sailor moved / mentioned
that the fight was over. The first blow
had been weak, and I believe that the
second was intended for an uppercut.
but 1t struck foul. No man until nov
has v e questioned my honor. I have
been in many places, and in peculiar
situations. but no one over said until
last night that was guikyt u adishon-
orable act. And, I Will repeat, that l
decided In all fairness. and With a tudg-
ment that was as true as my ieyesteht;
I saw the foul blow"
FITz HAS HIS SAY.
Fitxsimmons said aAter the fight:
carp knows. and 20 does sharkey.
that I didn't hit the sailor where they
say I did. Ny left landed straight in
his stomach, where I had . right to hit
him. and no other place. His lying
down and groaning was all a part Of
the game. There was NO need for me
to foul him. because I had him whipped
anyway. and could have hnished him
before the end Of the round. 1t don't
