were brought up and assigned to diffe1-
ent tasks. The rule was that no two
should work together, and that there
should be no conversation In the
course of fortnight DR.. Haxton pulled
himself together in wonderful shape to
cave his reputation, but one who studied
him closely could not fail to mako out
that he was lacking in nerve. If this
lack was apparent to the captain and
myself, it most have also been to the
shrewder of the convicts, and to at least
the officer of the guard. We were look
ing to see them test him, and after Cap.
tain Clark had somewhat retired him
self the test was applied. Ben johnson
was the man to make it. We had been
at sea about three weeks, and No. 2
gang was on deck froui to 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. Johnson was acting as
an assistant to the ships carpenter, and,
although his demeanor was sulky and
sullen, no fault could be found with
him. 1t was 8 O'Clock, and the captain
was asleep, and l had charge of the
deck. The guards were scattered about
among the convicts, while one watch
of the crew was below. All of a sudden
johnson laid down the tool he was
working with, folded his arms and de-
clared to the doctor, who was oversee

fore him it was plainly evident that
Hooper and two of his guards had come
aboard with the sole object in view of
assisting two Of the worst convicts to
regain their liberty. The four other
guards were honest men, and the charges
in their muskets had been drawn while
they were asleep. Ben johnson, a dou-

son were the ringleaders Of the consplla
oy and were to have control of affairs
in case the mutiny was success.
"Call all hands to witness the pun
ishment, and then give every one of the
six fellows two dozen on the bare back, l"
ordered Captain Hodgson.
A file of marines was sent aboard OF
us, as also boatswain's mate to WELD
the cat, and one after another the con-
spirators were seized up to the grating
and given his allowance. Hooper broke
down and cried for mercy and acted the
part of craven, but all the others were
rather defiant. Ben johnson was the
fourth man seized up. AS they were
making him secure he turned to me and
said:
"All WANTED to get possession Of the
ship for was that I might settle with
you and Mary. It's your turn now, but
mine is certain to come"
"What's thatl What's that!' de-
manded Captain Hodgson as the words
reached his ear. "He threatens, does
hel Bo'sun, give him an extra dozen

NOTED CHOIR SINGERs.-The high
est paid choir singers in the world are
two American ladies, Miss Clementina
De We're, at the Paxton church in
New York, who receives 81 500 a year,
and Miss Dutton, at Baptist church
in the same city, who receives $4,000
for her services. The men in the
choir of Westminster Abby receive
salaries ranging from $4OO to $500.
There are about 100000 singers in the
choirs of various places of religious
worship throughout the United King
dom. Rabbi Wolfers, the Jewish mu-
sical historian, says that during divine
services at the Ancient Temple of Je-
rusalem full choir consisted of "a, 900
men, divided into three great bands,
and separated from one another upon
vast platforms. The choir of the great
Mormon Temple at Salt Lake City is
the largest in the world, numbering
$50 trained voices.

CHAPTER VII.
THE FATE OF THE ALBATRoss.

The FATE OF IHE ALbAIhOSS-
When we had been a few weeks at
sea, there was much to commend and
very little to find fault with. stated
in previous chapter that no batch of
convicts had ever mutinied until after
leaving the cape of Good Hope. The
reason for this will be apparent if you
consult your map. In running to the
south every craft was III the great high
way. Had the convicts got possession
Of ship there were no urinhabited
islands for refuge. Had they landed
anywhere on the west coast of Africa,
the savage natives would have snapped
them up. The hour Of peril had come
when craft was approaching the Aus
tralian coast. If the convicts got posses
sion, they could either land on the great
island or sail to the north and find in
Vulnerable small islands to offer them
shelter.
While we took every precaution from
the very beginning of the voyage, we
nevertheless depended in a measure OH
the facts above stated. After awhile
the convicts appeared to steady down
and be desirous of making good records,
and the behavior of the guards was all
that could be asked for. For month or
more had kept close watch Of the foul
men previously alluded to, but nothing
had occurred to make me doubt their
loyalty. Haskell had been allowed to
saunter about as he pleased, and when
ever an extra guard was wanted he was
always on hand, but none Of his reports
as to the conduct of guards or prisoners
was calculated to cause any particular
anxiety.
One morning, as we were holding
our course with fair wind, we rose al

and two hours later she signaled that
she wished to speak us. The Hindu was

A number of files aCCre found about hts
clothing.
Give me two others, and we will take
the places of the guards below. Put the
whole guard under arrest and search ev-
cry man. When you come to examine
the muskets, you will discover that all
are unloaded. After taking care OF the
guards there should be an inspection of
the cages and the prisoners. They have
been using saws and files down below. "
Haskell spoke in such a calm, cool
way that I looked at him in anger,
thinking he was inclined to joke. He
went on to explain that he had been
keeping vigilant watch, and that he
would stake his life OH being correct in
his assertions, and lost no time in no
tifying the captain and the doctor. We
moved in the matter so cautiously that
not even one of the sailors who was tc
replace the guards suspected what was
up. At z o'clock, as Hooper and three
of his men gathered at the fore hatch,
the captain ordered them aft, and four
sailors took their places. AT the same
moment Haskell descended to the cages
with two men and told the guards they
were wanted on deck. Of the seven
muskets held by the guards all were
capped, but not one loaded. Hooper pre-
tended to be highly indignant at being
intcrfered with, and force had to be used
before his person could be searched. A
number Of files and saws, all betraylng
evidences of recent use, were found
about his clothing.
The guard below was REINFORCED and
the cages examined. Bars had been cut
in every one of them, and it had been
planned to make rush and capture the
bark as the first gang was turned up.

THE MATE OF THE HINDU.
ASTORY OF ADVENTURE ON LAND AND SEA.
BY CAPTAIN RALPH DAVIS.
Copyright, 1896, by the Author.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs
In order that new readers of THE En-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand il
lust the same as though they had read il
all from the beginning, we here give q
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:

de Loanda and gave themselves up. The
fate Of the others is not known to this
day.
Many Of the passengers heard the
story told by Thomas. and most OF the
particulars somehow reached the con-
victs within two or three days We
could not fail to perceive change in
their demeanor, and that change was
something to increase our burden Of anx-
iety. All convicts look upon themselves
as victims or martyrs. No batch OF men
ever sent out were receiving better treat.
ment than ours. Instead of the docto
being too severe, he was altogether too
lenient. The convicts made themselves
believe, however, that they were being
badly used. Three days after Thomas
came aboard they made formal pro-
test that they were overworked. The
doctor, acting on the advice of the cap.
tain, refused to take any action. AS a
matter Of fact, the convicts were not
busy half the time. Two days later they
made protest that their food was not
only bad, but insufficient in quantity.
The provisions furnished by the govern
ment were wholesome, and no real fault
could be found with the cooks.
Ben Johnson had acted as spokesman
in both instances No other ships doc
tor would have allowed him to open his
mouth. On the second occasion DR.. Hax-
ton, who had been coached by the cap
tain, made reply:
II have seen fit to overlook this
breach Of discipline, but don't try it
again. The next protest you present will
bring you a round dozen on the bare
back"
That seemed to end the matter. The
captain, the doctor and others were in
clined to regard it as game Of bluff,
but it struck me that the fellows gave
in altogether too quick. My position as
mate made it impossible for me to play
the detective, but Haskell had the run
of the ship and kept his eyes and ears
open. On the morning of the fifth day
after Johnson had presented his second
protest I came OH deck at o'clock in
the morning. About an hour later,
when the watch had settled down into
the routine, Haskell came out of the
cabin smoking pipe and made excuse
that be was troubled with insomnia.
He soon let me know that he wanted a
word with me in private. The bark was
driving along before a steady breeze
and needed little watching, and present.
ly we got out Of earshot of the helms

"The three guards below will be re-
lieved at O'Clock. At Z o'clock four
Of them muster OH deck to receive the
first gang, leaving three below. The
four on deck will be re-enforced by two
sailors, who will receive their muskets

eyes, that is the programme. 1 an
swercd, but having no suspicion of what
was coming

far as know, " resumed Haskell. "You
have spare muskets aft. When Hooper
musters his guards on deck, You must
be ready to replace the four with sailors
and see that their muskcts are loaded.

THE DEFINITION OF A CRANK
The very positive man had alluded to
somebody as crank, when his patient
audience of one interrupted him with

vince me instead of letting me con-

Possibly to RevolutiOnize the South's Great

Accounts have been going the rounds
of wonderful new variety of cotton
plant of enormous height and incredi-
Bile yield. Although these rumors
were conflicting, and apparently much
exaggerated, the subject has been con-
sidered worthy of investigation by cot

full inquiry have been given in recent
article by Albert Phenis. 1t would
appear that if the variety should prove
to possess, in practical extensive cul-
ture, the qualities claimed for it, it will
work nothing short of revolution in
cotton growing. The imputed distin-
guished characteristics of the plant are
