Young Yacht Designer,

A full share of the success in yacht de-
signing is at present being won by young
men, and, while the Herreshoff company
has everything its own way in the de-
signing and construction of the most i'm

Apparatus.

There were couple of tests made yes
terday of the new hook and extension
ladder apparatus. A 50-foot ladder was
extended at the Quartz street fire sta
ton and later a 65-foot throw was APP
piled on the library building. The COM
mittee from the council to inspect the
workings did not arrive at a conclusion
at the meeting last night. 1t is under
stood that the apparatus does not meet
with the unanimous approval of all
hands concerned.

CHAPTER XIV.
A WOMAN S PLUCK.

After travelling some few miles we
began to explore the numerous caverns
and gullies of this ancient seabeach,
where, at the foot of the cliff on the
strip of yellow sand we gathered shells
the like of which none of us had ever
seen before. On some of the terraces
were long rows Of extinct fires. indicat-
ing that large mobs of savages had fre-
quently camped there. When l express
ed surprise that the blacks should fol-
low the example Of the cliff dwellers OF
the North American continent, it was
the sQratter's daughter who showed it

choice. and she pointed to the forked
limbs of tree several feet from the
ground. where rested bunch OF drAt-

"this valley must all be flooded. The
gorge, being so narrow, cant carry off
all the water that pours into it, and so
the blacks have to take to the cliffs for
safety. Pleasant. isn't ity"
saw many signs of the truth Of
what she said She read the face of na-
ture as if it were an open book For
instance, in one cave there were some
rude drawings in colored clays or chalks
upon the smooth walls, and heard her
remark to some one how they represent
ed the elementary efforts of the savage
to express himself by means of symbols
primitive man writing before he had
attained to the dignity of pothooks and
hangers. 1t was a strange instinct that
made men anxious to perpetuate them
selves even in this fashion, and to
dread being utterly forgotten. On that
rough surface there was most impor-
tant event recorded in the history Of
those savages-the coming of the
whites.
And then to our surprise she inter

which broke into a series Of rings as it
ascended into that pale blue sky. 1t was
one Of those signal fires by which black
fellows communicate to one another at
a distance the fact that something un-
usual is approaching.
But we were all too carelessly happy
to trouble about such things Thanks to
we were getting into somewhat higher
latitudes. we felt an exhilaration and
buoyancy Of spirits that made us think
but little Of such contingency as our
party being attacked by blacks.
We came to place where the river
ran through rather awkward gorge.
but as the cliffs on either side were very
high and overhanging we had little to
fear from any hostile savages throwing
their spears down upon US.
Suddenly. however. it took turn.
Then. as if we had passed through a
gateway. it stopped abruptly. and we

DEARER THAN LIFE ITSELF,

The persistency of the blacks was ap-
palling, When they got within 80 or 40
yards Of us. they discharged volley Of
spears and stones We had knelt down
on the terrace. and the ledge being
higher than the floor they either ratified
harmlessly against the roof Of the cav
ern or else struck against the ledge that
skirted the terrace
For minute after this there was u
deathly stiffness. during which l could
actually hear the bubbling and splash
of the water Mt the spring, the cricking
of u cicada and the labored breathing Of
wounded Gordon in the cave.

Then just az the savages were making

Gordon. darting to his side. put the
loaded rifle into his hands. This turned
the tide Of that fierce onslaught. Savile
did not even put the rife TO his shoul-

ly "pumped the lead into the mass Of
bodies in front Of him. The blacks way-

the trees and powders some couple of
hundred yards away. II we could only

but that we could have enectually dis
persed the blacks and say.d ourselves.
As we were situated, however 1t would
have been madness to have left the

weak and helpless condition that We
could not have travelled Suddenly
something occurred to me-i ran down
the terrace to the spring and there
found a couple Of blacks making away
from the narrow crevasse that opened
from it into the cave and which Norah
Mackenzie had defended promptly
squared accounts with them.

was the behavior ot Samson On orc
