CHAPTER 1.

The steamer glided swiftly. almost noise
lyssly southwark. The was pale,
sickly green, indicating that there was no
great depth and a sailor could have told,
without seeing that long. low-lying blue
streak 10 our right, that We were near land.
There was not ripple on the water, save
where the iron bow of the steamer sliced
il aside and churned it into angry bubbles,
and the wake she left behind her was like
churned-up oil. greasy and heavy.
Her name was the Constitution. She was
owned by an American planter of Barba-
does. Just as she was. provisioned Off
cered and manned. she had been placed at
the service of my chief by her owner, who
had not been required to say for what pur
pose she was needed.
The head of our expedition my chief, was
Gerald b. Hudson. special correspondent
for a syndicate of three New York news
papers l was the artist of the expedition.
Hudson and had worked together before:
were together through the Greco-Turk-
ish war: we had been through two Egyp-
tian campaigns. had made tour of India,
and had served two months with the insur-
gents in cuba.
Having obtained our steamer ready
found. provisioned and manned there was
little for us to do except in the way of
special preparations. We found that the
governor general of Barbados owned a re-
Inarkably fast American naphtha launch
and after much negotiation We purchased
this outright. In its bow we placed a Calling
gun of the latest pattern and had our
steamer fitted UP with massive davits so
that the launch could be hoisted inboard or
overheard with the minimum of difficulty.
We were careful to provide plenty of small
arms. and number of fine files and saws
OF high temper that would cut any but the
hardest steel We had picked up our men
with much difficulty. because We were
obliged to ship them without telling them
where We were going. There were just six

swain of the Yankee clipper Swallow; Hen

found tending bar for negro saloon keep
or. and who didn't care whether he was
killed or not: Washington Jones. a New
Orleans negro. and three Frenchmen An
tome GdSpard. Pierre Nanton and Emile
tereau- All of these men were men. Each
was above tine average in height and
strength The negro, Jones, was one of the
strongest nfen | ever met. He had been a
s;evedDre along the Barbados shore and
was only too glad to take service with u.s.
when We offered him more money for the
"trip than he could have made roinng hogs
heads in Two years.

This was our expedition with the addi-

considering our mercurial nature In the
United States. II is as just as well that
most of our diplomats speak only one lam
guage. A Spaniard, for instance can call
our Representatives thieves, liars and cow

The anatomy lectures which DIR. Maurice
Miller is giving at the Art Students
League have become much more helpful
now that they are explained by reference
both to the living model and to the skele-
ton. and the students are profiting greatly
by the instruction. Mr. Messer's series of
lectures on perspective is also proving very
valuable to the students.
