THE BOERS' GUNS.
Before The War Large Orders Were Placed
With Gunmakers at LIE CreusOt, But
All Were Not Delivered.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
Il learn that the Transvaal and Free
State govern ments, before the war,
placed large orders with the gun
makers at lie Creusot, but that all the
weapons could not be delivered, owing
to the suddenness with which hostili-
ties began. The guns the Beers are ac-
tually using are Creusot's rs millimeter
quick frers and 155-millimeter siege
and garrison guns, all mounted on
light carriages and adapted in every
possible way for use over muddy roads
They had two months firing prac-
tice under competent Creusot agents.
If they could have had another months
practice, no European artillerist could

He had no suspicion that the mate
was at that moment gluing his eye to
a crack in the bulkhead and vainly try
ng to get a glimpse of the paper Of
which he had heard the dying man
speak the night before. In his villain
Gus heart, he had sworn that Tom Scott
should never grasp the golden treasure,
but how to prevent him was the ques-
ton. Clearly he must obtain possession
of the precious paper, but how was this
to be done?
His peephole was too small to enable
him to tell where TOIo kept it, but as he
heard the lid of tie chest closed he
drew long breath and muttered:
Its in his donkey! I'll find way to
have a peep inside of it before we get to
Frisco. 1t would never do to trouble it

rise. while the captain and second mate
were asleep, the mate was stumplng

out earlier than usual, was standing on
the tcpgalIant forecastle watching a
school of fish play about the bows. He
ran up the forerigging at once to catch
a glimpse of the welcome sight.
"Now's my time" said the mate, un-
de- his breath. as Tom went over the
foretop and began to swarm up the
topmast rigging. "He.ll 60 clean up to

The next moment he had stolen soft

TAKING FRENCH LEAVE.
E-aDca still Adheres to the Old Gus
tom of ExpelIing Obnoxious
visitors.

William lie QueuX, the novelist, was
ordered to leave France because he
wrote some letters to the London Daily
Mail on the bad drainage and other
drawbacks of the Riviera. Victims OF
expulsion are often journalists. The ex-
pulsions are not always effected in such
a courteous manner as IN the case OF MI.
LIE QueuX. The common plan is to rouse
the victim from his slumbers at very
early hour by an urgent and, needless
tosay, fictitious summons from friend,
who begs him to come instantly with
the messenger. In nine cases out OF ten
the appeal is answered with alacrity,
but no sooner has the unSuspecting
man set foot on the pavement than he
is pounced upon by couple OF plain
clothes detectives, bundled into cab,
galloped off to one of the railway ter
mini, and then put into train for the
frontier he prefers. His captors accom-
pany him to the limits of French terri
tory, where they abandon him to his
fate, after first reading out to him the
terms OF the expulsion warrant, and eN-
planning the pains and penalties he will
incur should he. ever again be tempted
into revisiting France. Meanwhile the
mans friends and relatives in Paris are
racking their brains to account for his
unaccountable disappearance, the first
intimation they receive of the true
cause being his telegram from Brus-
sells, or, it may be, Dover or Berne.
Sometimes the expelled one spends the
rest of his days in vituperating and
holding up to ridicule the country that
has thus spurned him.
The average orthodox Englishman
fancies that these things can happen
only in France, or, at any rate, on the
continent; but, as a matter of fact,
there was time, and that not so very
long ago, when it was no uncommon
thing for the government Of England to
resort to precisely similar measures,
and to prove it the Sketch reproduces an

CHAPTER U.-CONTNUED,

And now the roar Of the storm could
be heard as the line of foam swept On
over the darkened sea with frightful
velocity Louder and louder came the
noise, and the surface OF the water be-
hind the advancing line was like vast
sheet of snow fattened down by the
force of the wind.
Nearer and nearer came the ghastly
line, while every man stood at his post
in silence. Suddenly the captain
roared:
Hard up your wheel! Hard up!"
The two men who grasped the sPokes
had barely time to obey the order when,
with shrek of wind and a rush Of boil
ing water, the white line struck the
bark and pressed her over until the
yards touched, the surface to IeeWard.
The storm staysail and maintopsaiI
were rent to ribbons, but the head sail
held, and, as the stanch bark slowly
righted. this caused her to pay slowly
eff, and she gathered headway at the
same time. Slowly at first and then
with increasing speed she bounded
along before the hurricane.
And now the sea began to rise IN ali
its majesty. The masses OF water
sveDt in wild waves before the hur-
ricane. their crests blowing off into
spray as they met the full force Of the
wind. After several efforts the crew
succeeded in Ioosing few inches OF
the foretopsaiI and for awhile this held
noblv. Then came a stronger pun
than usual, and the sail was torn bod
ily from the bolt-ropes, disappearing
in the gloom like some huge white
bird.
There was nothing 10 be done bu'
run before the gale, and, after send
ing the mate and half the crew below
the captain advised Tom and Avery Il
retire. which Trey dld, somewhat re
assured bv the collected bearing of tht
skinner. who seemed to take it all a
a. matter of course, especially as tn
wind was sending his vessel just wher
he wished to go.
In this manner three days and night
passed. until it seemed to Tom that tn
world was made up Of wind, waves AM
darkness.
On the fourth morning the wind be
gan to abate and the sun appeared, Ell
abling the captain to ascertain his pc
sition. He found that the Seabird ha
made II knots an hour during the Ell
tire period since the storm struck hel
which caused his satisfaction to sho'
itself in his round face unmistakably.
Sail was now made, and ten days late
the Seabird was sailing proudly on tn
bosom of the Pacific, having roundc
Cape Horn with the greatest slant
wind the old skipper had ever eNper
enced. The vessels head was polnte
20 the north, and Tom began to con
pute the days before they could nor
to reach San Francisco.
The Bourbon news., 1899-11-07

the man aloft, who again gave that long
drawn out, iudescribable cry, so dear to
the sailors heart:
Land ho!"
The captain forgot everything else
instantly and sprang on deck at once,
eNclaiming:
It's the Golden Gate or I'm a lub-
ber. I've made a record passage this
time for the old bark! We're only 9S
davs from Boston and we'll keep it
down to two figures if the wind holds
and have day to spare! Slap the
canvas on her, Mr.. Rider! There's let
ters and fresh grub waiting for us over
the starhoard bow! Sweat her for all
shes WORTH"
His orders were promptly obeyed,
and as Tom reached the deck and came
aft the captain added:
Wen soon be ashore, Mr.. Scott. If
my reckoning's right, that is the en-
| trance to Frisco harbor and we ought
to be tied up alongside the dock to-
night. You've never been there, have
you?'
Tom replied in the negative and the
| captain continues:
We'll, see here. I don't know how
you're fixed but l always live aboard
when I'm in port. It's cheaper and
keep a good cook by her. If you like
you can stay with me and it won't cost
you a red. I've made rattling trip
and you are welcome"
Thank YOU" said Tom. "Ill do SO
until l start north. l shall be glad to
have a familiar face with me. This is
my first trip, you know"
