Every minute, every second was precious
to the brave boy.
Fortunately for him army muskets in
those days were but rude weapons with a
very short range. Two hundred yards
could not be accurately shot over with
them, and already the swift little boat
was a good hundred yards out and flying
down the creek to the broad arm or the
river nearby.

through the sail, two hit the boat Then
the soldiers ran frantically along the shore
until they reached impossible mud. Here
they were compelled TO stop and give over
the chase.

Capt Brownson leaned over the end of
the bridge and waved his hand 10 Lieut..

latter was smiling, and as we watched ne
made a gesture toward the mysterious
brass cylinder.
See that thing, Brownson?" he called
out.
The captain nodded.
"What-"

the boy who was blown a mile in a cy-

They undoubtedly struck IL, but a number
of shots had been fired before any APP
preciable effect was noticed; then the
huge fish began 10 slowly swim around
the boat, finally plunging downward.
II was then that the skipper released
the line and sprang to the big reel wind
lass and began to wind up the game-a
most laborious operation. in which all
joined forces; and il was only after
struggle that the fish was brought to the
surface, dead, its tremendous weight OF
nearly eight hundred pounds requiring the
wiudlass to lift II.
The great halbut-of the northwest
coast-sometimes attains a weight of one
thousand pounds, and IL Is a dangerous
game to attempt to land IN a small boat:
so the eXpedient of killing it with the rifle
is successfully adopted, and many of the
largest fish are killed in this way.

taken without a fight, and he even pre-
ierred death to capture.
Meantime the British party had made a
swift survey of the little beach under the
boat Apparently the officer was not
quite satisfied. He had perhaps, seen the
tracks made by MIR. Inis and Rose, and
was taking precautions by carefully re-
eonnoitering. Rose quickly foresaw that
ne would soon be tracked up and found
AS his danger grew, however. his spirit
ana wit increased apace. He held his
gun ready, while he lay in tuft of scrub
palmettos, and he thought with lightning
swittness of what he should do when the
last emergency came.
The party of British separated into two
squads, one passing east of Rose, the
other TO the west of him. Evidently the
intention was TO beat the marsh in a sys-
tematic way. 1t would be not long before
one or the other squad would come upon
the flank of his bit of hummock land,
cross his trail and so discover him. The
time for action of some sort could not
be greatly delayed. Rose resolved the sit
uation in his mind, never once losing sight
OF the deliberately advancing soldiers.
The point where he lay concealed was
perhaps The highest pare of the little
island, and it gave him a wide view of
marsh lands and breeze tossed waters and
wooded isles and distant bluffs of main
land. Three war vessels were now In sight
over toward Tybee some miles away.
What was TO be done must be done. Ii

A truly brave spirit Is never without
adequate resources at a trying time, Rose
lnis caught the one bold chance as it Of
fered. Ii was a desperate suggestion, and
it called for a tremendous squirt of enersy
and GOODNESS, strength and daring
almost impossible.
The directions taken led the two Brit
ish squads farther and farther apart and
at the same time farther and farther from
the boat, which with sail Tapping lay
close by the shore of the creek. AS it at
forwards turned out, the officer was a
typographical engineer, and his actual pur-
pose was 10 find, If possible, short roate
by either land or water to the -outer de-
lenses of Savannah. But Rose Inis felt
sure that he was being tracked, and now
q suddenly formed plan of escape took &C.
tive possession of his mind.
With but a moments consideration he
seized his gun and ran straight for the
British sailboat AS he sped along he
stopped as much as he could in order to
hide behind cumps of palmetto and
patches Of tall marsh grass The alert
soldiers soon saw him. however. and the
one nearest to him yelled 10 him to stop.
Instead OF obeying the order, Rose redoub-
led his efforts to reach the boat.
Bang! went the Britons gun, and it's
bali sang IN the grass close TO Roses legs.
All the men and the officer now gave chase
to the flying boy, who, when he reached
the creek, plunged in, holding his gun so
that the lock was out of the water, aud
swan TO the boat. out of breath and ter
rlbly excited, Rost scrambled aboard, first
tumbiing his gun over the gunwale TO the
bottom of the boat
1t was now work for dear life. Rose
was a clever sailor and knew just how "a
go at the business in hand. He hauled
in the little anchor and eprang to the sail,
loosed Il, grabbed the tller and got into
the breeze Meantime on came the now
thoroughly alarmed officer and men,
shouting, shooting. painting, gesticulating.
The breeze was fresh and favorable. 1t
took the sloop's san with a vigorous
sweep. She leaned low and sprang along
beautifully. Rose bad lost his hat and
his hair was all disheyeled; the perspra.
ton poured down his face. On came the
soldiers, and at the waters edge they lost
some time in confused running back and
forth Then by order of their commander
they fell to reloading their empty guns.

Albert Johnson, who has been on
the sick list for some time past, is
much better at this writing.
Last evening the institute session
was held at the Methodist church.
The programme was made up of sing
ing and recitations by members of the
public school, and was well attended.
The Church of God have had re-
vival meeting the past week. Rev.
L IN is holding the services and he is
assisted by Rev. King, of the Methodist
church, his meeting having closed a
week ago.
Samuel Cooper, the B. & 0. conduc-
tor who was injured in wreck some
time ago, is able to be out of his bed.
His condition is much improved, but
he will be unable to work for fully
three weeks yet.
AS yet no person has opened the
saloon which was closed by ]. G. Kline
some time ago. No person seems to
want to run any risk with the law,
since the grand jury will meet in
Moundsville next month.
The men who work in the Benwood
Yesterday, were asked if they were
prepared to work on the new scale.
No definite answer was given the com
pany by them, as committee will set
tie the matter when the time comes.
The Autumnals will dance at Nc
Mechen's hall tomorrow night. The
committee in charge of the affair ex-
pect a very large number of visitors
to be present, and have arranged for
special street cars after the affair is
over. Prof La Roche, of Bellaire, will
furnish the music.
At the meeting of Council to be
held this week, it is expected the late
election matter will come up for dis
cussion. 1t is said the parties who
were elected object to being turned
down by the present Council, and will
claim their rights. At any rate, the
matter has caused much talk, and it
remains to be seen what will be done
