JONES's CONDITION SERIOUS.
Liability to Dangerous Attack Mt
Any Time.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Jones, Of Arkansas, chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee. is in a
precarious condition. owing TO his La
bilty to another dangerous attack Of
heart-trouble at any time. As is usually
the case I'm the intervals between attacks
of this nature, he is getting along very
well just now, and to-day was in COM
paratiVely fair condition, after a good
nights rest, but he is maintaining the
utmost caution, and under strict orders
Of his physician, is avoiding any eXertion.
This is a radical change for a man of
Senator Jones's active habits, and he
naturally chafcs under it. His malady,
angina pectOris is at best grave one,
and the outcome never can be fOreseen.
SO far. however there have been no I'M
toward complications in Senator Jones's
case. and there is a strong hope that
with absolute quiet and rest away from
his work for a considerable period he may
recover.

time the sun had his rim fairly above
the water threefourths of the whole
company were on deck.
Not TO dwell needlessly on details,
we brought safely in, towing with
barge, after one tack, and soon AN
chored in little rearward cove. While
we were fetching by the castle men
ran out to look at us, and, the news
soon spreading, the ramparts were
presently shining with armored fig
ures, who gave us hearty cheer of
welcome. We found other ships in the
berth, lying just IN the river edge Of IL.
and their decks were also speedily
manned and volley of questions and
congratulations poured out.
Pradey answered all briefly but good
naturedly, but meanwhile gave his
chief attention TO one Capt. De Bou-
ward, from whom he was learning the
chief facts of the siege and taking Of
the castle. 1t seemed that the place
was defended by above 300 Spaniards,
not counting servants and slaves, and
that a most stubborn fight was made.
Capt. Brodely began the attack with
force of 400, but at noon on the third
day, when the corps du gard was final
ly carried, his available command
numbered only 230. The Spaniards
were nearly all killed, the resolute old
governor with the rest, and the unhurt
remnant managed to descend on the
steep landward side and escape. The
wounded and the greater part of the
1af 1ah;rI Th;- Ill
concluded about noon, two days since,
and word had forthwith been sent to
Morgan.
AS soon as we were at our berth and
all put in order Pradey called for the
gig and was set ashore.
He was gone somewhat less than an
hour, and when he returned rejoiced
us all with the news that we could
have shore leave. Secure as the ship
was, it was deemed unnecessary to re-
serve a guard so that Pradey himself
with the steward, were the only ones
finally left behind
1t was a gladstone sensation when
finally stepped out upon the solid quay,
and l think that Mr.. Tym and Mac w.
rach were in accord with me. The
morning was not yet far advanced, and
it was but moderately warm, the air
was pure and the sky nearly cloudless,
and before us was the dark, strong
mountain, almost fetching the eye to
little giddiness and yet pleasantly
steadfast, while breaking away to the
right was the refreshing green of the
forest.
We made no talk for a bit, the others
of the crew pushing speedily on and
leaving us, and it was only when the
last of them were disappearing in the
gateway of the lower forts that we
finally started on.

SYNOPSIS.

Master Ardick, just reached his ma jority
and thrown upon his own resources after
stating his case to one Houthwick. ship
master, is shipped as second mate on the
Industry" bound for Havana. Mr.. Tym,
the supercargo, describes a sail. The
strange vessel gives chase, but is disabled
by the Industry's guns. The Industry is
little damaged, but Houthwick and one
of the crew are killed. Sellinger, first mate,
takes charge and puts into Sidmouth to
secure a new mate. Several days later,
when well out to sea, an English mer-
chairman is met whose captain has let

The crew of the vessel tell strange tales of
the buCcaneer Morgan, who is sailing un-
der the kings commission to take Panama
One night a little later. the English vessel
having proceeded on her course, Ardick
learns of plot among the crew, headed by
Pradey, the new mate, to take the In
dustry and join Morgans fleet. Ardick
consults Mr.. Tym. They resolve to secure
the mate, but Pradey, eavesdropping in the
cabin, makes through the door and arouses
the crew. Capt. Sellinger Joins Ardick and
Tym. The crew break through the now
barricaded door. but are forced to retire

inger is for Immediately falling upon the
mutineers, but Tym argues that they are
a light crew but still more than two to their
having lost seven of their number. Find
ing themselves now too short-handed to
manage the boat, Pradey descides to scut-
tie and desert the vessel, taking his men
off in the only available boat. The captain,
supercargo and second mate soon discover
their plight, but hastily constructing raft
get away just before their vessel sinks.
The next morning a Spaniard draws near
them. The man in the rigging shouts:
IF you would board us, take to your oars.
Be speedy, or you will fall short" On
board they are sent forward with the
crew. being told they will be sold as slaves
