SYNOPSIS.


The firms Of perkins & Gage" and
Brown & Phillips" traders, of Saigon,
China, want to establish branches at Sara
wax, Borneo. and for this purpose are TO
send $25 900 each, in silver, by a steamer
The crew of this steamer desert at the
last minute because the story Of the
money has leaked out ana the sailors are
afraid of Wong-Lee, a noted pirate. To
outwit the latter it, is decided to send the
money by a small American brig, the
"GulL" a crew is obtained from another
American brig, the "Iuntress," then at
Saigon, which tad just been sold to an
English trading firm. Captain John Ray
nor, shrowd Yankee, commands the
Gull" The American sailors are con-
Cealed in the cabin with plenty Of guns
and ammunition, and crew of six Chin
pse sailors is shipped ostcnsihly for a
voyage to Corea. AS soon as the "Gull'
T. out at sea the Americans appear ana the
Chinese are imprisoned below. All these
precautions are in Nain however, Tor by
the next day Captain RaynOr Is satisfied
that a swift junk that Is following them
IS none other than that of Wong-Lec. Cap
tain Raynor decides to bring the brig
about in the wind to wait for the junk.
When the latter has overtaken the brig, 4
boat puts off from the junk. There are
three men in It and there IS nothing about
them to Indicate pirates, but Captain Ray
nor is positive that the one who comes
aboard to speak to him is the famous
Wong-Lee himself.

that -..e calm would not last long.
We had had a man aloft with the glass
for three hours, but he had not once
made out the junk. At quarter to
twelve he still reported nothing in
sight, but half an hour later as the
bark was lazily rising and falling on
the ground-swell, the pirate suddenly
appeared, coming up astern and close
aboard. The lookout aloft had prob
ably fallen asleep. The junk was be-
ing moved by her sweeps, and there
was just time to call the men sleep
ing on deck when she ran us aboard
on the port-quarter. Such yells and
shouts as the pirates uttered would
have made a band of Indian warriors
envious, and they had men ready in
the rigging with stink pots, and 9TH
ers with graphing irons. The Chinese
stink pot is an open iron pot filled with
some horrible smelling compound, and
Cunning for about ter minutes. The
odcrs given out will PROSTATE a man
almost as quick as a bullet. We knew
they would come, and one Of the Ma
lays was detailed to look out for them
aId kick them overheard.
As the crafts came together about

junk to deal with l am sure we could
have beaten her off. Wong-Lee had a
card up his sleeve, however. He low
cred two boats, filled them with men,
and, while we We're bravely holding our
own, they boarded us on the starboard
bow and came runnig aft. We had two
ot o,,1
q third badly wounded. Everyone saw
they We're to many for us, and at the
call of the captain there was a precipi-
tate retreat to the cabin. When we
came to count noses we found our
selves five short. The one aloft was
still up there, and we knew two were
dead. The missing two We're Malays,
| and from their desperate manner of
| lighting we had little doubt that they
| also lay dead on the deck. We We're
thus reduced to nine men, and while we

| doors, but no such movement came
| They first cleared the decks of the
| dead, heaving each body into the sea,
| and then we felt the junk working her
| way ahead until clear of us. No shots
were fired at us, and for moment we
were puzzled to know what the fellows
! We're at. Then we suddenly felt the
| bark heel to a breeze, followed by a
| jerk and a tug, and Captain Raynor
| growled out:
They've got our tow rope aboard the
| junk, a prize crew on board here, and
we are bound for old Wong-Lees head
| quarters BY daylight he'll have us
among the islands to the west, and we
might as we'll say goodbye to each
| other right nOw!"
We had all plain sail on the bark,
! and the pirate in charge appeared to
know how to handle her, but the junk
sailed the faster and kept the tow
rope taut. We could hear the fellows
moving about on deck, and, though
they made no effort to get at us, we
were in a state of expectancy every mo-
ment till daylight finally broke.

But She Thought lie Ought to BE
Content with His Achievements.


From Judge.
The only people who are positive they
are fitted to bring up children in the
way they should go are very old gentle
men and maiden ladies.
An amusing little scene, in which the
helpful old gentleman" figured, oc-
Cured the other day at the Grand Gem
tral station. quite n family party
were assembled, of the class that be-
lieves i'm making the most of a free
country, to await the arrival of an un-
expected guest. Children were there
galore, playing tag all around the old
gentleman's feet, falling periodically
over his canvas bag, squealing wildly
as they ran into passengers, and re-
treating in heaps as cop" approach
ed.
The helpful old man" stood 1t as
long as he could Conscientiously then,
locking over his spectacles, said severe
", stop that racket-you children!"
"Well, I like that" answered one of
the mothers. in a loud, angry tone.
But, If she did, the old gentleman
didn't, and faced the woman as he con-
tinued:
Now, look here, madam, I've raised
three families of children, and not a
single child was ever allowed to annoy
my neighbors."
"Well," replied the irate lady, '1i
you've raised three families you've
done your duty, and I'll thank you to
allow me to raise mine"

Captain Raynor could speak the Chi
nese language like a native, and the
conversation between him and Wong
Lee was held in that tongue.
Il am sorry to trouble you" began
the lirate, as the captain advanced,
"but / have lost my mate and three
men. Last night at midnight we heard
some one hail from the water, and
boat was lowered to the rescue. y sud-
den squall came up and the junk was
driven away. I think the boat must
have been picked up when daylight
came"
He lies, of COURSE" said Capt Ray
nor to me as he interpreted the state
ment, but we must appear to swallow
him whole"
Then turning to Wong-Lee he cX-
pressed his regrets at the loss of the
men and his hopes that they had been
picked UP. We hadn't seen anything
of them, but other crafts were sailing
to and fro. We were SO rt-handed
and the men were so busy that a poor
lookout had been kept. He COmpli-
mented the man on the speed of his
junk and the way she was handled, and
boldly stated that our bark was going
down the Gulf of Siam to take out car
go from a wrecked merchantmen. 1t
was plain by the twinkle in Wong-Lee's
eyes that he didn't believe il, but he was
a good dissembler. He expressed a
curiosity to look the ship over. We
knew little his game, but We're ready
for it. He had a glass of wine in the
cabin and made good use of his eyes,
but not 4 WeapOn did he see. He en-
tered the fOreCaStLe with the excuse
that he wanted to construct one for the
junk, but his idea was to discover if
there was a watch of duty below. He
was aboard for full half-hOur, and
his glanCos took in every detail, and
when he left he shook hands in a cor
dial way and was effusive in his
thanks, He was bound for the north
ern Philippines, he said, and we would
probably remain in sight of each other
all day.
"The smiling, deceitful old repro
bate" growled Captain Raynor, as the
pirate pulled off to his junk HE came
aboard expecting to find his cut-throat
crew on deck, and he'd have had pos

were standing together at the rail,
started to hail. / say started, for the
Malays were close at hand, and the
first notes were only uttered when the
Cinnamon lay In heap. The cry, such
as it was, ipust have reached the junk,
as the sweeps stopped work for a mo-
ment, but hearing nothing further she
continued her search. 1t has always
seemed to me that the junk didn't
run us aboard She passed and re-
passed us at least eight times, and
once she came SO near that We thought
her sweeps would strike the bark. Af-
ter pulling back and forth for a couple
of hours she made off to the south, and
by and by PASSED out of hearing. An
hour la ter there was a little breeze
aloft. our upper sails felt 1t, but down
on deck there was not enough air to
us along for six or seven miles before
daylight came and we got real wind,
but to our disgust the junk was in
plain view in the north, and not over
five miles away AS there were half a
dozen other sails in sight we had no
fear of her, and knowing that reception
would no longer avail us we put the
bark's head on true course for Sara
wax
All day long the junk hung in our
wake, neither gaining nor losing, and
to our disgust, the wind began to fine
flare a candle. This breeze sneaked
down again as the sun went out of
sight While there was no appearance
of a fog, the night promised to be a
dark one. We made as ready as could
be when the darkness came, and as
soon as we lost sight of the junk we
hauled up to the west by five points.
We kept breeze until midnight, Civ
ing us about three knots an hour, and
