CHAPTER XIII.
THE EBB-TIDE RUNS.

The coracle-as l had ample reason to
know before l was done with her-was
a very safe boat for a person Of my
height and weight, both buOyant and
clever in a seaway; but she was the
most cross-grained, lop-sided craft to
manage. Do as you pleased, she always
made more leeway than anything else,
and turning round and round was the
naneuver she was best at. Even Ben
Gum himself has admitted that she was
queer to handle till you knew her
way"
Certainly I did not know her way.
She turned in every direction but one,
the one 1 was bound to go; the most
part of the time we were broadside on,
and l am very sure 1 never should have
made the ship at all but for the tide.
By good fortune, paddle as 1 pleased,
the tide was still sweeping me down;
and there lay the ''Hispaniola" right in
the fair way, hardly to be missed.
First she doomed before me like a
blot of something yet blacker than
darkness, then her spars and hull be-
gan to take shape, and the next mo-
ment, as it seemed (for the further l
went the brisker grew the current of
the ebb), was alongside her hawser,
and had laid hold.
The hawser was as taut as a bow
string-so strong she pulled upon her
anchor. All round the hull, in the
blackness, the ripping current bub-
bled and chartered like a little noun
tain stream. One cut with my sea
gully and the "Hispaniola" would go
humming down the tide.
So far so good; but it next occurred
to my recollection that a taut hawser,

blingly out of the hollow where l had
supped, there were but two points visi-
BILE on the whole anchorage.
One was the great fire on shore, by
which the defeated pirates lay carous-
ing in the swamp. The other, mere
blur of light upon the darkness, in
Dictated the position of the anchored
ship. She had swung round to the ebb
her bow was now toward me-the
only lights on board were in the cabin;
and what saw was merely a reflection
on the fog of the strong rays that flowed
from the stern window.
The ebb had already run some time,
and had to wade through the long belt
of swampy sand, where 1 sunk several
times above the ankle, before l came to
the edge of the retreating water, and,
wading a little way in, with some
strength and dexterity set my coracle,
keel downward, on the surface.

saw, all these buccaneers were as cal
lous as the sea they sailed on.
At last the breeze came; the schooner
sided and drew nearer in the dark;
1 felt the hawser slacken once more,
and with good, tough effort cut the
last ibers through.
The breeze had but little action on
the coracle, and 1 was almost instantly
swept against the bows of the His

current.

every moment to be swamped; and

acle directly off. 1 now showed straight
astern. At length 1 was clear of my
dangerous neighbor; and just as gave
the last impulsion, my hands came
across the stern bulwarks Instantly
1 grasped it.
Why l should have done so I can
hardly say. 1t was at first mere in
stinct; but once l had it in my hands
and found it fast, curiosity began to get
the upper hand, and determined I
should have one look through the cabin
window
I pulled in hand over hand on the
cord, and, when 1 judged myself near
enough, rose at infinite risk to about
half my height, and thus commanded
the roof and a slice of the interior of the
cabin.
By this time the schooner and her
little consort were gliding pretty swift
~ through the water; indeed, we had
already fetched up level with the camp
fire. The ship was talking, as sailors
say, loudly, treading the innumerable
ripples with an incessant weltering
splash; and until I got my eye above the
window sill l could not comprehend
| why the Waterman had taken no alarm.
One glance, however, was sufficient;
and it was only one glance that burst

DREAMER AND SCHEMER.
Napoleon Thought He Could Win
Glory in Mexico.

NupOleOn 1hOuSht He Could Win
Glory in Mexico.
When the Mexican empire was
planned our civil war had been raging
for nearly two years. From the stand
point Of the French rulers, the moment
seemed suspicious for France to in
terfere in American affairs. The es-
tablishment Of great Latin empire,
founded under French protection and
developed in the interest of France,
which must necessarily derive the prin-
cipal benefit of the stupendous wealth
which Mexico held ready to pour into
the lap of French apitalists-of an en-
pire which in the west might put a
limit to the supremacy of the United
States, as we'll as counterbalance the
British supremacy in the east, thus OPP
posing formidable check to the en-
croachments of the Anglo-SaXon race
in the interest of the Latin nations
such was Napoleon's plan, and L have
been told by one who was close to the
imperial family at that time that the
emperor himself fondly regarded it as
"the conception of his reign"
Napoleon III. labored under the dis
| advantage of reigning beneath the
shadow of great personality which,
consciously or unconsciously, he ever
strOve to emulate. But however clever
he may be, man who, anxious to appear
or even to be great, forces fate and
creates impossible situations that he
may act leading part before the world,
is only schemer. This is the key to the
character of Napoleon III. and to his
failures. He looked far away and
dreamed of universal achievements,
when at home, at his very door. were
the threatening issues he should have
mastered. The story is told OF
him that one evening, at the Tuil-
cries, when the imperial party
were playing games, chance brought
to the emperor the questions: What
is your favorite Occupation?" to which
ne answered: ITO seek the solution
of unsolvable problems" 1t is also re-
lated that in his younger days IA
vorite axiom Of his was: Follow the
ideas of your time, they carry you
along; struggle against them, they over
come you; proceed them, they support
| you" True enough, but only on condi-
ton that you will not mistake the shrill
charms of a few interested courtiers
| and spectators for the vioce of your
time, nor imagine that you precede your
generation because you stand alone.

suddenly cut, is a thing as dangerous
as kicking horse. Ten to one, if I
were so foolhardy as to cut the His
PAMELA" from her anchor, and the
coracle would be knocked clean out of
the water.
This brought me to full stop, and
if fortune had not again particularly
favored me, / should have had to aban-
don my design. But the light airs
which had begun blowing from the
southeast and south had hauled round
after nightfall into the southwest. Just
while l was meditating, 4 puff came,
caught the ''Hispaniola" and forced he2'
up into the current; and, to my great
Joy, 1 felt the hawser sIacllen in my
grasp, and the hand by which held it
dip for a second under WI, .er.
With that 1 made my mind up, took
out my gully, opened it with my teeth,
and cut one strand after another, till
the vessel swung by two. Then [ lay
quiet. waiting to sever these last when
the strain should be once more light
ened by breath of wind.
All this time l had heard the sound
of loud voices from the cabin; but, to
say truth. my mind had been so en-
tirely taken up with other thoughts
that / had scarcely given ear. Now,
however, when had nothing else to do,
1 began to pay more heed.
One l recognized for the cockswaiu's,
Israel Hands, that had been Flint's
gunner in former days. The other was,
of course, my friend of the red night
cap. Both men were plainly the worse
of drink, and they were still drink
ing; for. even while 1 was listening,
one of them with drunken cry opened
the stern window and threw out some
thing, which l OWNED to be an empty
bottle. But they were not only tipsy;
it was plain that they were furiously
angry. Oaths flew like hailstones, and
every now and then there came forth
such an explosion as l thought was sure
to end in blows. But each time the
quarrel passed off, and the voices grum-
bled lower for awhile, until the next
crisis came, and, in turn. passed away
without result.
On shore. l could see the glow of the
great campfire burning warmly through
the shore-side trees. Some one was

WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Why Fred G. Hughes Of Arizona is
Behind Prison Bars.

On Tuesday last Governor Budd is
sued a warrant, on the reQuisition OF
the Governor of Arizona, for the re-
turn to that Territory of Fred G.
Hughes, who is wanted by the Terri
torial authorities for the crime of en-
bezzlement. Hughes was in prison at
Randsburg, in the southern part of the
State.
Hughes, the alleged embezzler, is we'll
advanced in years, and previous to his
late escapade is said to have borne an
enviable reputation in Arizona. He
was one Of the most popular men in the
Territory, and might it is said, have
had any political position within the
gift Of the people for the asking
The last Arizona Legislature passed
an Act creating the Arizona Pi-
oneers' Historical Society,"" which was
incorporated, with Hughes as Presi-
dent. The Act also appropriated 3d.
600 of the Territory's funds for the
use of the society, the money being
made payable on the Presidents or
der.
Hughes, it is alleged, drew down the
entire sum of money, and after apply
ing about $500 for the benefit of the
society became infatuated with a wo-
man and took her, together with the
remaining s., 800 into Mexico. Ex-
tradition papers were forwarded to the
latter country by the Arizona authori-
ties, but before they could be honored

GALLINAR WAS THAR"
The Washington Attorney Gave
Boiler Experts Some Points.

The water works plant in Washing
ton-across-t -the-river has been completed
for over two weeks, but until yeSter-
day the engine with which it was in
tended to run the pump baked, ana
no manner of coaxing could get 1t to
do its duty.
The San Francisco firm from which
the engine had been purchased has had
two alleged experts on the ground for
the past week but regardless of their
efforts the machine fiuked and abso-
lutely refused to work. Something was
wrong with the exhaust, and when the
steam was turned on it gave good
imitation of a militia company firing by
file
The people of Washington were be-
coming discouraged, and were inclined
to heap anathemas upon the engine
and the experts who failed to make 1t
work, when yesterday a savior ap-
peared.
There is an attorney in Washington
named Gallinar, and he was much in
evidence in the vicinity of the pump
ing plant engine yesterday morning.
Contrary to the usual course pursued
by attorneys he was lavish with free
advice and explained to the experts
from San Francisco just what was the
matter with the engine and just how
to TX it. The experts listened and
groaned and finally told Gallinar to go
ahead and fix the engine, if he knew
SO much about it.
The Washington attorney was equal
to the occasion. He went about his
work as though he understood what
he was at, and intended to put his
theories in practice. He loosened a bolt
in one place, tightened one in another,
shifted the gearing, and then screwed
up few nuts, and finally threw away
the gasoline torch which had been used
