of all have been taken into the account.
The free dispensary at the Central Union
Mission will not be discontinued, but relief
Will only be afforded after an investiga-
ton, to be conducted by the agents Of the
mission. The statistics given by Mr..
McMichael at the Mission last night showed
that nearly 5000 persons had been re-
lieyed on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
on this basis the Associated Charities has
furnished assistance to about the same
number or persons. Statistics could not
be obtained from police headquarters last
night, but is is within the estimate to say
that the police gave either provisions CT
clothing TO nearly 1000 people. Alto
gether a conservative estimate is about
I 900 people aided by charity last week.
Rev. +. II. Bailey, the chairman of the
toard OF directors of the Mission, said
last night that all of the records of the
free dispensary at the Mission had been
sent up to the 4 sSOciated Charities. The
latter organization has undertaken to in
vestigate these cases so that duplicates
ought not to be possible this week.
At the police precincts it was stated last
night that the need for assistance was by
omeans over. There is a balance a nearly
all OF the precincts from the sums appor-
toned to them by Supt. Moore, and this

The funds for the poor will be sweled

sea was like mirror. Then light breeze
sprang up fIom the north, and, without
loss of time, the bark spread her sails
and continued her true course. she was
fast craft, and the mate decided to run
away flom the pirate, If he could That
was prudence instead OF cowardice, and
was so hailed by the crew and captain.
Down III the south he might find man-of-
war, or other help, to beat the brig off or
destroy her At any rate, if the breeze
lasted, lie would make a running fight
of it, giving her gun for gun, and doing his
best TO prevent being boarded. 1t needed
scarcely half an hour to satisfy him that
the brig was the fastest sailor. She crept
up on the bark, foot by foot, until only
mile away, and then a canron bali came
skipping over the water as Sgnal Tor
her victim to heave to. The bark held
her way, paying no attention TO the men-
ace, except to soar aloft the Stars and
Stripes and cheer the flag, as it blew out
to the breeze. Mollie had been sent on
deck TO report, and she returned to say:
"Our flag is up, father, and the men
are cheering it. We can't run away from
the brig, and Tom is going to fight her"
That's the talkl Does she carry big

''Her decks are crowded with men,

AYE, that's ball from Long Tom,

heaviest metal and the most men, but Tom
will fight her to the bitter end. Is the
breeze getting up?"
"Yes, father, and our men are making

as soon as the wind comes, want to sink
both these boats and thus weaken her."
Almost every man OF the crew was
Salem man, and had heard the story of
Tom Hollys cowardice. When the boats
first left the pirates side they wondered
what he would do When he ordered them
to cast loose the guns, they wondered il
the story were not q sIander When he
addressed them in cool, even tones, with
never sign OF trepidation or excitement
about him, they tossed up their caps and
gave him a cheer. Capt. Williams heard
the cheering from his seat in the compan-
ion-way and asked what caused it.
The mate has been speaking to the
men, father,'' replied Molle.
AYE: that's the right thing to do-give
them heart to smell powder. Are the guns
all ready?''
Yes"
And the boats?''
"They are coming on, but have separated.
There-don't you hear the pirates cheer
ing?''
Aye, 1 hear it. 1t isn't honest cheer
ing, but more like the snarls of wild
beasts How far away are they now?"
About half mile
'And what's Tom doing?''
Hes sighting the forward gun. Now
he's going to fire. Now he pulls the lam
yard"
The boom OF the gun was followed by
a second, ard a third, and a fourth, and
above the roar We're heard the cheers
of the men on deck.

1.-THE ball from Tom's-the ball from the
mates gun struck one OF the boats fair
IN the bow and shattered her. The other
boat is taking the men aboard. Don't you
hear the yell OF the pirates?''
Aye, - them! They took us for an
unarmed trader, and counted on an easy
victory. Is the single boat coming on?'
"Yes, she is-no! no! A cannon bali
has smashed all her oars on the port side
and there is great confusion aboard Now
they are pulling her around. Now she
is making off. Why, father, she is throw
ing come of her men overboard,''
That's the way OF a pirate, girl When
mans killed or badly wounded, over
board he goes to make more room. Our
men arc cheering again.
"Yes, they are throwing up their caps
and dancing in exultation. The boats
have been beaten Off and we are saved"
