Built entirely from stem to stern Of
Washington woods. no prettier craft rode
the seas than the staunch schooner No
mad, which sailed about the middle Of
last September for Shanghai with a cargo
of lumber from Tacoma. 1t was the No
mad's maiden voyage ard she sailed on
her return 10 Puget sound December Z
last in ballast. AS far as is known, she
has not been seen since by mortal man
and, according TO the reckoning OF those
who knew her capabilities for making
time, the schooner is now six weeks over
due.
The Nomads skipper is Capt J. W. Nc
Allep, we'll known in Seattle and every
where on Puget sound as a veteran and
skillfug navigator. With Capt McAllep
are his daughter and his two sons. His
wife lives at No. Sls Republican street.
She is by turns wild with fear that the
Nomad lies at the bottom of the Pacific,
and filled with hope that her loved ones
will yet return 10 her.

Launched at Port BIakeley.

The Nomad Is a four-masted vessel.
built at Port Blakeley by the Hall Bros.
last year. Her launching in the early
summer of 1897 was made a gala day at
Blakeley ard was witnessed by hundreds
of the residents of that thriving place.
Later the Nomad was towed to Tacoma,
where she loaded with lumber for Shang-
hal.
She was "A handsome ship. built on grace
full lines and staunch and seaworthy as
any vessel of her kind afioat on the Pacific.
Capt. John w. McAllep VAS placed in
command of her and entrusted with the
schooner on her maiden voyage.
She sailed out OF Tacoma in September
last and made a comparatively good voy-
age 10 Shanghai. 1t Is reported that she
covered the distance in sky days and ar
rived at her port without mishap.

During his entire Imprisonment tho
friends of Dreyfus and many others who
are convinced OF the injustice OF his sem
tence or shocked by it's inhumanity have
used every means to prove that he is not
guilty, and secure n reversal of his SEN
tence. This task has been almost hope
less one, both because they were cut OFF
from all communication with the prisoner,
and because they were in the dark as to
the evidence against him.
one of the pieces of evidence was
known, having been put before the public
at the time of the arrest, by the govern
ment; this was the handwriting of the ac-
cused, which was claimed TO have accom-
panied the pians or been Il part of the
correspondence with the military attache
OF the German legation in Paris. This has
been vigorously attacked, and 1t Is clear
iy shown by comparison that the chirog-
raphy OF another officer, Major Esterhasy,
who seems 10 have borne a reputation not
so good as that of Captain Dreyfus. not
only more colsely resembled the incrim-
mating document, but that he changed its
characteristics Immediately after the Drey-
fus trial.
The friends OF Dreyfus demanded an
opening of the case. and forced the gov
eminent 10 make an Investigation. This in
yestigation was intrusted to general OF
the army, who, after examining Major Es-
terhazy, the officer In charge of the prison
in which Dreyfus was coniined before the
trial and such other matters as he was
directed to consider reported in favor OF
the original judgment against Dreyfus and
the government was sustained In It's re-
fusal TO open the case by the small ma
jority Of eight, Should Captain Dreyfus
manage 10 live n few years longer it Is
probable that the doubt as to his guilt
and the horror inspired by his punishment
may yet work his release
There could not be clearer illustration
of the efficacy of our Anglo-saxon juris-
prudence in protecting the liberty of the
citizen, which s the Keystone OF free
institutions. Guilty or not guilty. Captain
Dreyfus could not have been convicted In
any American court without the testimony
having been so fully published as TO pre-
