all that had formerly happened to me,
but spun yarn about my ship taking
fire and we poor creatures barely
whipping off at short notice, the 9th
ers miserably perishing."
We'll, sir, l thank you for the story"
said L, land. in truth, am sorry for the
poor sailors, particularly for Lewson."
"And now" he said, you might give
me. in return, an account of your own
faring. Surely. when looked over the
rail to-day and saw your familiar faces
was not little astonished."
AS we were TO see you" said I, ''but,
after all, it was a simple NATTER" and
with this l went on and related our
story.
AT least there are those that are
not born to be drowned" he said,
laughing, my worthy self included.
Well, go now and think over the other
matter. Let me know when you have
come to a resolution"
We took ourselves off accordingly
and returned to the deck.
We'll, friends" said Mr.. Tym, as
soon as we were secure in our places,
what think you of all we have heard ?"
Mac Ivrach looked at me to answer,
and with little hesitation said:
But for the matter of covering the
rogue's crime l should be for accepting
his terms. 1 should count II no sucn
dreadful thing to join the buccaneers,
though once, L admit, thought other
wise, and this sentiment is stronger
since the death of the poor captain
Mr.. lynn nodded. ''Aye, that is my
reasoning" he said. Moreover, it
seems that Morgan does really bear a
commission from the king. Pradey, as
wellas all before, speaks very confident
ly of it; so we may be pretty sure Of
the legality of the thing. But the viii
| lain's old offense-th1t is the stick!"
Here Mac Ivrach. who had been CIV
ing close heed, put in word:
is there no a middle course? I TAX
it the man MIGHT listen to a bit COM
promise
L had been thinking fast as the Scotch
man spoke.
81 cannot say" l replied; Il have
nothing clear and yet Stay! How as
to compromise in time? Say we would
agree-under this stress-to cover the
villainy for period?"
Il distrust it." said Mr.. lynn, shak-
ing his head. Besides, Pradey would
never consent"
"But there is more 10 the matter"
went on. coming to clearer concep-
ton of the thought myself as talked.
GAS you say, he is desperate, and void
| of all conscience. Could we trust him,
in any case?'
''Why, no." he answered, little per-
| pleXed; 'but what then?"
''Will he trust us, in turn? The base
are always suspicious. Think you not
he will seek to make way with US
pledge ourselves as we may? Then
why would he not agree to the com
promise? Say we would swear to be
secret till the end of the expedition
He would consent, think, meaning to
destroy us at the first opportunity"
SIN truth. there is weight in what you
say" said Mr.. lynn, beginning tc
waYer. "Aye, doubtless you have the
rights of it," he added, almost immedi
ately.
"Let us test it," said. Nothing is
to be gained by waiting"
My companions agreed, and we ac-
cordingly went below and sought Pra,
dey. He was on the quarterback, and
went aside with us, upon which Mr.
lynn made the proposition.

1 cannot say that I had conceived

seemed pretty evident that Pradey
could not so well dispose of us as to
win us over, if that might be. His crew,
though desperate enough, did not pre-

butcher US in cold blood would make
very stirring bit of talk that would

DOM PAUEs SIDE OF THE CASE.
Says There Is Determination to
Destroy BOcr Republic.

Destroy B0cr Republic.
New York, Sept 6.-The World will pub
fish tomorrow the following dispatch
from Paul Kruger, President of the South
African republic, in response to a mes
sage sent by that paper:
Il gladly accede to your request to pre-
sent the Boer side to the Americans. The
present agitation against this republic
emanates partly from a certain section
of British residents to whom the exist
ence of the republic, which embraces the
most flourshing parts of South Africa, Is
a standing eye-sore, and who suffer from
the prevailing lingo mania, partly also
from mining capitalists, who, not content
with having the best mining laws in the
world, wish also to have complete con-
troll of all legislation and administration.
'"The franchise voting question was
taken up by England because it was
thought the republic would not yield on
that point. Now that the altered fran
chise does not materially differ from the
Americans-in many respect easer-the
agitation has become worse. The object
clearly is the destruction of our republic
and the complete control of the richest
mines in the world.
"The press, entirely controlled by capt.
talists, spreads unprecedented misrepre-
sentation and prejudice throughout the
world against the Boer republic.
1--WE are determined to defend to the ut
most the freedom and self-government for
which our people have shed blood in every
part of South Africa. Though we have no
such powerful friend as you proved to Ven
ezuela and to other republics, we have
strong faith that the cause of freedom and
Repubhcanism will triumph in the end -"
