Before supper was eaten we buried
old Tom in the sand, and stood round
him for awhile bareheaded in the
breeze. A good deal of frewood had
been got in, but not enough for the cap
tain's fancy. and he shook his head over
It, and told us we must get back to this
tomorrow rather livelier." Then, when
we had eaten our pork, and each had a
good stiff glass of brandy grog, the
three chiefs got together in corner
to discuss our prospects.
1t appears they were at their wits
end what to do, the stores being SO low
that we must have been starved into
surrender long before help came. But
our best hope, 1t was decided, was to
kill off the buccaneers until they either
hauled down their flag or ran away
with the "Hispaniola." From nineteen
they were already reduced to fifteen,
two others were wounded, and one, at
least-the muu shot beside the gun
severely wounded, if he were not dead.
Every time we had crack at them we
were to take it, saving our own lives
with the EXTREMIST care. And besides
that we had two able allies, rum and
the climate.
AS for the first, though we were about
half mile away, we could hear them
roaring and singing late into the night;
and us for the second, the doctor staked
his wig that. camped where they were
in the marsh, and unprovided with rem

All through the evening they kept
laundering away. Ball after ball flew
over or fell short, or kicked up the sand
In the Enclosure; but they had to fire
30 high that the shot fell dead and
buried itself in the soft sand. We had
no richochet to fear; and though one
popped in through the roof of the log
house and out again through the floor,
we soon got used to that sort of horse
play and minded it no more than
cricket.
'There Is one thing about all this"
observed the good captain; 1.-THE wood

Gray and Hunter were the first to
come forward. Well armed, they stole
out of the stockade, but it proved q
useless mission. The mutineers were
holder than we fancied, or they put
more trust in Israel's gunnery. For
four or five of them were busy carry
ing off our stores, and wading out with
them to one of the gigs that lay close
by, pulling an oar or so to hold her
steady against the current. Silver was
in the stern-sheets in command; and
every man of them was now provided
with musket from some secret maya
zine of their own.
The captain sat down to his log, and
here is the beginning of the entry:

Silver's face was picture; his eyes

JUDGE KENNY BEFORE THE BAR
He Is Sentenced 10 Wear n Hand
some Geld Watch and Chain.


There was an unusual, in fact an an
precedented gathering in the General Ses-
sions Court room shortly before noon
today. AS a rule that court room is de-
serted on Saturday, but today a number
of people were there Among them were
Sheriff Heller. Prosecutor Winfield AS
Lillis. John p. Feeney Maurice Stack.
M. ]. Kellaher. County Clerk Fisher.
Senator DAILY. Deputy County Clerk Grit
ten. John r. Purtell. Under Sheriff
Heavey, ex-Assemblyman Pierce Fleming,
Constable Wise, Court Interpreter Steger
and many others. Judge Hudspeth was
in his private office and with him was
ex-Judge John Kenny, Judge Hudspeth
having sent word to ex-Judge Kenny that
he desired to see him in some important
business. 1t looked as If there was some
conspiracy on foot and that proved to be
the case.
Sheriff Heller knocked on Judge H,ld-
speth's door and interrupted the conyer-
sation to say that he wanted to see Mr.:
Kenny for moment. Mr.. Kenny walked
out with the Sheriff and Judge Hudspeth
took his seat on the bench. A moment
afterward Sheriff Heller arraigned ex-
Judge Kenny at the bar and asked that
he be sentenced. Judge Hudspeth asked
what the State had to say in the matter
and Assistant Prosecutor Noonan said a
great deal which was highly compli-
mentary of Mr.. Kenny. He closed by
presenting him with a magnificent gold
watch. chain and charm. The charm is
in the form of a gold cross with a large
diamond in the centre. It was complete
surprise to Judge Kenny. Under ordinary
circumstances the old gentleman has a
more than ordinarily good command Of
language, but on this occasion words
failed him to express his thoughts He
said few words and then broke down.
Everybody present shook hands with him.
1t is said that Robert Davis and M. j.
Kelaher are primarily responsible for the
surprise sprung on Judge Kenny.

OFFICERS SILENT PISTOL.
Northampton Burglars Shoot But
Their Pursuer Fafls to Reply.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, March 49,
1S97.-The ticket Office of the New York
New Haven and Hartford Railroad was
entered by burglars about one O'Clock
this morning and the safe was blown
open with gunpowder. The office was
badly wrecked by the force of the ex-
plosiea The burglars secured about s62
in money. AZ tickets and five mileage
books. They then made their escape,
leaving the city. by way of the Boston
and Maine tracks, going south toward
Holyoke. Officer Stevens heard the ex-
plosion and hurried to the depot. AT the
corner he says he saw a man standing,
evidently on guard. AS the officer ap-
preached the man fired at him with re-
volver and then disappeared before the
officer could return the shot. Officer
Stevens says he gave chase and saw four
young men hurrying down the tracks. He
went after them, but they opened fire
at him with their revolvers, and he re-
tired. Why the officer did not take part
in the shooting seems to be a mystery,
for he was armed.
Chief of Police Maynard and w. A.
Lee, the station agent, were called to the
scene, and found that the burglars had
entered the station by means of a win
dow, the lock of which was turned with
case knife. The door of the ticket office
was forced open, and then work was
begun on the safe with a half inch drill
in a common bit stock. The burglars
tried to make hole through the top,
but gave it up. and then succeeded in
drilling through the side. The safe was
much difficulty. The ticket case was not
locked. Glass in the Office windows was
blown out, and the interior was badly
damaged by the explosion.
Chief Maynard thinks that the job was
the work of professionals. He says he
thinks the officer must have had difficulty
in getting his revolver from his pocket,
or there would have been shooting from
the other party. A carriage was seen
driving rapidly on Bridge street about
one O'Clock this morning. and the Chief
thinks that may have been in the service
of the robbers, though it is hard to see
how four men could have got away in a
single carriage, after disappearing down
the railway tracks towards Holyoke.
The discovery. of the crime so soon after
it was committed gave the police chance
to get to work before the burglars could
have placed much distance between them
selves and the city. Quickly the te,e-.
graph and telephone wires were sending
messages tc the outlying towns and Off
GERS were sent out in pursuit Stations ON
the Consolidated road as far south as
Hartford and New Haven were notified
before the burglary was an hour old, and
the wires to the northern were also kept
busy. 1t is believed that the promptness
and thoroughness of the hunt may lead
to the detection of the guilty parties.
