examination before confirming their
own diagnosis. The patient supposed
to be afflicted with the loathsome dis
ease is we'll known in Bledsoe County.
Ills name is Patton, and for the past
two years be has been confined to bed.
DR.. Albright first heard of the case in
January, having received letter on
Jan. 30 from DIR. D. II. Hall, of Pike
Vile, asking for literature and inform
alton regarding the disease, and at the
same time requesting that an expert be
sent to look into the case. DR.. Hal
said that he had been practicing medi-
cine for forty-fye years and had never
seen anything like this case, The
mans nails were dropping off, his fin
gers and portions of his body were bad
ly infamed and he had been i'll for
about five years Several physicians
in the neighborhood had pronounced
the aifliction as rheumatism but DR.,
HALL thought differently.
After some correspondence on the sub
jet, Dr. Albright decided to investi-
gate and not being altogether familia.

Sangree to accompany him and make =
meteorological examination.

SYNOPSIS.

Master Ardick. just reached his majority
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 sail. The strange
vessel gives chase, but is disabled by the
Industry's guns. In the fray one of the
crew is killed and Houthwick is seen to fall.
The captain is found to be dead, but the In
dustry Is little damaged. Sellinger, first
mate, takes charge and puts into Sidmouth
to secure a new mate. Several days later,
when we'll out to sea, an English merchant
man is met. whose captain has letter ad-
dressed to jeremiah Hope, at Havana.
The crew of the vessel tell strange tales
of the buccaneer Morgan, who is sailing
under the kings commission to take Pana-
ma. One night little later. the English
vessel having proceeded on her course, a
bit of paper is slipped into Ardick's hand
by one of the sailors. This is found to be a
warning of a mutiny plot headed by Pra-
dey, the ne wmate. 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 a nd lynn. The
crew break through the now barricaded
door, but are forced to retire, having lost
seven of their number Finding them
selves now too short-handed to manage the
boat, Pradey decides to scuttle and desert
the vessel, taking his men off In the only
available boat. The cap tain, supercargo
and second mate soon discover their plight,
but hastily constructing raft get away
just before their vessel sinks
