CHAPTER IX.-CoNTINUED.

On returning to the deck we found
The situation in a small degree
changed. The buccaneer still stOrmed
along in our wake, but now with lit
tie gain, and the Pilanca continued to
hug the wind. By eight bells the enc
my was clearly rising, and at two bells
he was not greatly beyond cannon
range.
l stood by, ready to jump and haul,
and with a quickening of excitement
awaited the next turn of events.
1t was not long in coming. Capt.
Placido swung upon the lee bulwark,
holding on by the main shrouds, and
bellowed:
Down. helm! Slack lee braces!
Haul on the weather."
'By heavens! He means to run the
gantIet!" exclaimed Mr.. lynn.
So it seemed. The buccaneer had
been on our lee bow when first discOv-
cred, and was still we'll to the south.
By squaring our yards, then, and de-
liberately pointing our nose south
west, we meant to run under his very
nose.
"And vet it stands to be his safest
plan,'' said Capt. Sellinger. "A ship
like this, riding light and with poop
like church, will do nothing save with
the wind. Once let US fetch by and our
chances are doubled. -
The buccaneer had altered his
course as we altered ours, and was now
standing a few points south of east.
He could scarce be better than mile
and half away, and we saw plainly
the moving black dots of the crew
about his decks. He was handsome,
tigerish-lOoking fellow, let him be who
or what he might.
Nearer and nearer swung the buc-
cancer. ] could catch even the flash Of
his wet side now, as he rolled, with a
sort of swagger, to the successive, up
lifting seas. Nearer still, till a half
mile is reeled off, and less than a whole
one separates us.
A drum on our quarter deck beat.
The armored guards fell into line, and
their captain drew his sword and
stepped out upon the flank. Three OF
the Gons came out Of the cabin, all in
cuirasses, buff gantlets, and broad
belts hung with pistols. Don Luis
Delasco, the governors sOn-in-law,
was one of the trio. Then it was Capt.
Piacido's turn. He came to the break
of the quarter deck and faced us.
Bring up powder and ball for the
deck guns. Take the hoods off the
brass pieces. Two more men at the
helm. Gunners for the port guns be-
low. Master Pedillo, unlock the arms
chests and have the hangers and PTS
tolls passed up. Master Lonzelo, take
six men and fetch up the pixies. Pedro,
see that buckets of water are set
about, and when all is ready put on the
matches"
Larger and larger grew the buc-
cancer. The black dots took on the
shape of human figures, and the eight
ports in his side cut out square, each
with its round, target-like ring.

the foredeck, and the powder cloud
blew off to leeward. But it was harm

The mild man looked up and said: I'm
sorry, because you gave me that very quar-

the quarter and gave the conductor a nickel.
As he took the quarter from the conductor

An Evening at the Phoenix Club

The Phoenix club gave their semi monthly entertainment last night and it proved to be one of the greatest successes of the year. It was the ''fete champetre" or childrens night, and the youngsters participated in very entertaining and interesting cake walk The prizes were awarded as follows:
 First girls prize, Met Schwab; second girls prize, Syble Delheim.
 First boys prize, Joe Saks; second boys prize, Bernhardt Loveman.
 The cake walk was led by Miss Marcella Rothchild and MT. Sydney Lazarus. Miss Rothchid acted as official prancer and her graceful as well as comcal movements elicited much applause from the cultured audience. The little fellows followed the lead in great style and walked as if their lives depended thereon. They were dressed in all kinds of costumes. and their ex- aggerated antics were very amusing to the spectators. The judges were Mrs Ben Well, Mrs. D. Fies and Messrs. Sam Adler, B. F. Ezekial and L. w. Friedman After a consultation it was decided that the two couples mentioned above were entitled to prizes.
 The music was furnished by Miss Eva Daily.

hence. Young MT. Vanderbits departure was very quiet, as all those most deeply interested in him wished that it should be. There was a family gathering for break fast at the Breakers, then word or two of goodby, and MT. Alfred Vanderbilt, with MT W. Fitzhug Whitehouse, Jr., got into a light trap and drove to the yacht club landing. where they boarded Mir. Eldridge T. Gerrys yacht, the Electra. MT. Robert L. Gerry soon joined them, with MT. Pot ter Palmer, Jr., and the swift yacht put out of the harbor at noon bound for New York, where his companions will see MT Vanderbilt off. Friends sent flowers down Whitehouse, but special efforts were made to keep the start free from anything that would tend to make it seem more than a departure upon an ordinary run to Londo or Paris.
 Their friends say that the travellers have some plans for hunting big game in Africa and elsewhere, but the older cottagers as- sert that any such hazardous proceeding has been forbidden by their parents.

SLIGHT ACCIDENT
Delayed the Shamrock But She is Now
 Enroute for America

Facile, August 3.-The Shamrock, after proceeding a short distance, had a slight mishap to her bowsprit and had to return here, thus delaying her departure until o'clock this evening, when, escorted by the Brine, she again started for America. private signal to start came from Sir Thomas Lpton, who was on board the Brine. The Shamrock was then lying in eleven fathoms of watoC, nearly opposite the house in which Will Fife, the designer of the Shamrock, was born.
 A stiff breeze was blowing off Ayreshire. Captain Hogarth, skipper No. 1, took the tiller, and Captain Robert Ewing, skipper No. ?, looked after things forward. The Shamrock swung twice around the Erin, receiving hearty cheers from the crews assembled in Facile Roads. The crew of training ship lying near sang out lustily Bring back the cup'
 When the Shamrock had circled twice around the Erin, Hogarth dipped the blue ensign as the yacht stood off down the sound under full canvas. Sir Thomas Lip ton having bidden the challenger farewell, started for London.
 It is expected the Shamrock will clear the Null of Kintyre tonight and that the Erin will catch her off Malinhead.

WHAT IT COSTS
 TO KEEP HOUSE
From the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
 Finding something to eat is a rather inn portant question with most people. When a certain popular poet sang that civilized men could not live without cooks, he was not far from right, but he might truthfully have added that a civilized cook could not hold her job without some material on which to work.
 The path to the average Nashville man s heart Is by way of his stomach, and leads indirectly through the market house. The path has not been strewn with roses this summer, and the housewife with limited income, the boarding house keeper and the hotel man have been sometimes hard put to it.
 walk through the market house the last few weeks during the drouth was not a pleasing one, for everything showed the effects of the dry weather, both in quality and price. It Is better now, though still not up to the average.
 When Mrs Slimpurse walks through the market this morning the first thing that she will buy will be her meat. Steak runs from to b cents per pound; lamb, from 129 to 15 cents. Ham will cost her two cents more than last year at this time, and she will probably give 1215 cents for it. Her salvation will be in side meat and chickens. The first is about 1 cent cheaper. Spring chickens range from 10 to 20 cents, and hens from 20 to 30 cents. Incidentally, eggs are cheap at 10 cents dozen, and the very cheapest thing in the meat line is poultry or breakfast bacon.
 At the vegetable stall she begins to see the effects of the recent drouth. Tomatoes are becoming little cheaper al 50 cents to S125 bushel. Corn, which is ordinarily sold at cents a dozen ears, now costs from to 12 cents. Cucumbers are or cents apiece, and squash 20 cents a peck. Canta- loupes are very popular. but they are near ly three times as high as at this time last year, selling at $3 per barrel.
 Fruits are very scarce, though they can be found here if one is willing to pay the price. Peaches come almost altogether from California and sell at 50 to 60 cents a basket. Green apples of only medium quality bring 25 cents peck and grapes 50 cents tray.
 These figures give some idea of the state of the market and may cause the dyspeptic boarder to feel little more kindly toward his landlady. One of the stall-keepers summed up the whole matter yesterday when he said that one could find anything in the market that is usually kept there. but that in many cases 1t took considera- bly more money than usual to buy it.
