left for the face, but Tom got inside of
the blow and swung his left twice with
fearful effect on Jeffs head and face.

and left, jeff still acting on the de-
fensive. Jeff got in good left on the
face, almost putting Skarkey to the
floor, but the latter sent back a left
and right on the face splitting Jeff's
nose, from which blood came in
streams. The sight of the blood on
Jeffries' face seemed to make demon
of Sharkey, who fought fiercely and
rushed continually, swinging left and
right wildly, while Jeff PLANTED a well
directed left and right jolt to the
sailors body. 1t was fierceIy going
when the bell rang.
