we brought safely in, towing with n
barge, after one tack, and soon an
chored in n 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 a hearty cheer of
welcome. We found other ships in the
berth, lying just in the river edge of it,
and their decks were also speedily
manned and a volley of questions and
congratulations poured out.
Pradey answered all briefly but good
naturally, 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 800 Spaniards,
not counting servants and slaves. and
that 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
" carried, his availab BILE command
numbered only 23O. 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
women were left behind. This was all
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 shin
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 l
| finally stepped out upon the solid quay.
and l think that Mr.. lynn and Mac "
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 eve to
a little giddiness and yet pleasantly
| steadfast, while breaking away to the

| forest.

ing more uncertain than a strike" in
mine, and the most uncertain part is
after the strike. The lucky Prospector
becomes a millionaire in a day. and he
cannot estimate within several millions
the extent of his fortune. The Cripple
Creek mines yield nearly S1,OOO,0OO a
month, and experts who have sunk dia-
mond drills as far as it is possible to
drive machinery are of the opinion that
these mines will yield, at the present
output, for at least quarter of CEN
fury. What the owners will do with
this vast amount of riches is also prob
lematical. The production of the pre-
cious metals at this rate may also have
a depreciating effect upon the money
market of the world, considering the
increasing yield and the probability of
other rich discoveries. The increase per
month is now about $7,000,00O
United States treasury officials report
that the total amount of gold and silver
in the United States is S2,5O0,00O 900.
The total product last year in all of
the mining states and territories was
$54 100000. about S3,OOO,OOO less than
the preceding year. But the product
this year has already exceeded that of
1897. The yield will be at least SEQ, 0o0,
GOO. At this rapid rate of production we
shall soon quit importing gold. During
