THE BOURBON TUESDAY. NOVEMBER T. 1899

TO be among the first to reach the Yu-
kon with the advent Of spring. Several
steamers were loading at the piers, but
every inch of space on board had been
engaged months ahead. After consult
ing with Capt. Coffin he determined to
90 by rail to Seattle and trust to luck
to secure q passage from that port
He made no mention of the singular
secret bestowed upon him by the old
miner, but frankly told the captain OF
the money he had received from the
same source, and the latter promptly
gave him some good advice.
"Better not be drifting round 'Fris'
co with all that stuff in your pocket
he said. I've got good little safe
here and you're welcome to use It,
There's some desperate characters on
the water front here, and plenty OF 'em
would kill a man ten times over Tor hall
YOUR pile. They've all got the gold
fever now. My sec0nd mate is going TO
leave me. He's got it, too. Hope the
mate doesn't follow suit
Tom was wise enough to Gsten to the
warning and left the larger paTt OF his
money in the safe, but he kept the two
precious papers in his money belt, a
proceeding which he was to regret very
SOON
He found there was a special eXcur-
sion advertised, to leave the following
morning. ard was just in time to secure
q ticker. After taking in the sights OF
the city during the afternoon he pro-
cured his supper in restaurant and de-
cided to spend the evening at theater'
| for if must be remembered that he was
country reared and with few rare eX-
ceptions, when he had visited Boston, d
thcater had. been beyond his reach.
He thoroughly enjoyed the perform
ance and started down toward the wa
ter front when it was finished without
q thought of any danger as he strodt
RAPIDLY along the well-lighted thCr
onphfares. While he is thus engaged
let us take look at Obed Rider, the vii
lainous mate of the SeGbird, and se'
how his schemes are progressing.
While Tom was watching the foot
LIGHT favorites Obed Rider was sitting
in a little drinking saloon near tn
wharf where the Seabird had beer
docked. Before him was bottle O
LIQUOR and glance at his face was su1fi
cient to show that he had been indujg
ing deeply. His small, bloodshot eye
were fixed upon vacancy. and he wa

in it, but it's ugly business"
Filling his glass again he drained
at a gulp as if trying to screw up IL
courage to the necessary point for som
resolve. Then he looked at his waite
and said:

"T GIVE MY SHARE TO YOU"

Good luck and fair winds followed
our adventurers until they reached the
stormy Gulf of California, where an ac-
c:dent occurred which greatly affected
Toms future plans.
It was an hour before sunset and the
two passengers were heanlng over The
stern watching the water fly swiftly
under the counter. when a loud shout
from aloft attracted their attention.
Looking quickly up they had barely
time to spring aside when heavy olock
struck the deck beside them with ter
rifle force \ rope atta@led to 1t hlt
TOMS companion across the chest,
sending him backwards. His heels met
the wheel ropes and the next instant he
struck the water asteTI acd dlsap-
peared from Toms sight.
1t had all happened so quickly that ne
hardly realized what had occurred unhi
the sailor aloft shouted:
Man overheard! Man overboard!
With the promptitude of sailor the
man at the wheel sprang to the rail- ano
cut adrift the life preserver, which was
always ready for use, and at the same
time the captain rushed on deck anc
ordered the ship hove to-
Then Tom tore off his coat and shoe:
and leaped over the rail before the cap
tain could detain him.
Like most Cape Cod boys. he hat
learned to swim at an early age, and
pond. in Merrivaie had enabled him 4
indulge in the exercise in late years, s'
that when he came TO the surface ID

LAST NAVAL WOODEN DOCK.
CONTRACT FOR STRUCTURE AT LEAGUE
ISLAND AwARDED-A CHANGE TO
STONE LIKELY


Washington, Nov % (SpecaD.-The last contract
for wooden drydock that will ever be made by
the Navy Department In all probability. was
awarded to-day by Secretary Long TO the Atlantic
Pacific and Gulf Company, OF New-York City, for
the structure at the League Island Navy Yard au-
thorized by the last Congress This dock. which
Congress specified should be built Of wood. for
reasons which were fully exploited in The Tribune
at the time and which were VIGOROUSLY dscredit-
able will barely be begun before the next Congress
has had an opportunity cancel the vicious limta-
ton to perishable material and authorize the Navy
Department 10 substitute and concrete within
the original limitations Of cost. This contingency
has been fully provided for in the contract, and
the Philadelphia members Of Congress who were
late in detecting the jobbery behind the drydock
legislation last year have been diligently work
all summer stirring up interest in the matter. and
now express conviction that they will secure the
passage Of n resolution providing for the substitu-
ton before the Christmas holidays.
In this endeavor they will not meet with the
customary opposition OF the wooden drydock
lobby, which had been so increasingly active in
the legislative halls for years past, for the simple
reason that The Tribune's exposures scattered
that impudent organization last spring. With the
now firmly established policy OF sheathing and
coppering the bulls OF all vessels. the Navy
will not be driven to the false economy OF its
none. for fewer docks VIII be needed. and Con-
gress has learned beyond question that permanent
stone structures can be built within 10 per cent of
the price of himsy wooden ones.
The contractors for the League Island dock have
undertaken 20 make the change from wood 10
stone II ordered TO do by the Department at
any time within year BY that time no work
will be completed which r. not as essential for n
stone as Tor wooden lining for the excavation.
