son for it, as we afterwards ascer-
tanned. In spite of all our sharpness
and secrecy, the pirates spies got on 10
our little game and knew that only the
boxes of sand went bv the steamer.
Wong-Lee knew our destination, the
course we must take with the prevail
ing winds, and he was in the wake OF
the "Gull' before she had sailed twen-
~ miles. When morning came we had
fine working breeze and crowded the
bark along, but there was a junk astern
which held her position so steadily that
we knew she was something better than
trader. In run Of four hours we did
not gain foot on her, though the Gull
would pass the average merchant junk
with everything double-reefed. Wong
Lee had the fastest native craft ahoat,
and when noon came and our pursuer
still maintained her position, we tried
little experiment In hopes to settle her
identity.
