the short alteration between poop and
forecastle, had seen the threatening ges-
lures Of the disputants, and without
understanding what was being said,
guessed its purport. Then scores of
them, suddenly shaking off their leth-
argy, and ignorant of marine etiquette,
swarmed up the poop ladders and asked
what was the matter. Was a breeze
coming at last? If So why did not the
sailors do what was ordered? They knew
enough to tell them that the canvas
ought to be taken in. DeVine and I, who
were the only men on board conversant
with Punjabi Hindustani, hastily ex-
plained the situation the advancing
storm, the consequent danger to the
ship, clothed as she was to the mast
heads, and the refusal of the crew to
do their duty
The Mahometan mule drivers at once
realized the situation. I'VE will make

thoroughly up. God has sent the wind
to drive away the cholera, and shall
we go to another death because your
men are untrue to their salt? No; we
will aid you! You are our protectors!
After Allah we look to you and will
stand by you'll On, then. in the name
Of God! We Will force these sons Of
defiled mothers to do their duty!
Before we could stay them some zoo
Punjabis rushed along the main deck and
mounted the forecastle. The crew was
ready to receive them. There ensued a
fierce fight; knives were freely used
against the now infurlated natives, who
were, however, entirely unarmed their
cutlesses being in chests below decks
Shrieks and groans assailed our ears,
and we were about charging forward,
revolvers in hand, to quell the disturb
ance, when. numbers having gained the
Jnae
kicks and cuffs by the victorious PUMA
bis; we saw them ascend the ratiins,
followed by the swarms of mule drivers,
who threatened by gestures to throw
them into the sea if they did not imme-
diately furl sail. The seamen, not dar-
ing to disobey, worked in fear of their
lives, and in a few minutes the Zenobia
hoated the bare poles. With a low
rumble the sQuall came on. Sand was
in the air; it invaded our eyes, nostriIs
and mouth; the hurricane struck the
ship with terrific force and swept on
leaving us we'll nigh on our beam ends
but safe!
The gust proving to be the precursor
OF a stiff but favorable breeze, sail was
speedily made on the ship, and in due
course we bowled along toward our des-
tination, thankful for our deliverance
from combination Of perils that once
seemed to threaten us with annihilation.
Only two deaths occurred after that
terrible day. Next morning the crew
expressed contrition for their behavior;
the Punjabis, now full of renewed spir-
its. came aft IN a body and interceded
for their late antagonists; cuts and
bruises We're forgotten, and both parties
shook hands IN token of amity and alb
sence of tllwill. The skipper. nothing
loath, accorded his forgiveness, ordered
extra grog to be served, and so, with
cut further adventure or misadventure,

mate pointed to the west, and. true
enough, the horizon in that direction
presented a dark brown aspect. There
was something in the air, too-in the
oppressive st1llness-that presaged an at
mospheric disturbance Of some sort, and
we eagerly waited to hear the captains
opinion.
"a sand squa1l, by thunder!" exclaimed
he. "'Twiu be down on US in no timel

I don't know what may have passed
through the captains mind at this ter
rible juncture, for every sail was set,
and a squall fast bearing down on the
shlp-a full rugged ship, fitted with the
more cumbersome and old fashioned
tackle of that day-carrying quite 800
souls all told, allowing for the deaths,
and a valuable government cargo. L

but at that moment an unwonted COM

THIBETAN LAMAS HOLD STRANGE
POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH.

Wonderful stories of Thibet are told by
the few travellers who have penetrated
into that land Of magic and mystery. 1t
was there that Nine Blavatsky, the high
priestess of theosophy, claimed to have
spent seven-year apprenticeship, and it
is In this abode of Lamaism, If any
where, that the laws of nature are re-
versed by the will of man.
On the marvels of this country Of de-

the current Home Magazine of New

Chambers Journal.
As to the sums spent on shooting IN
Scotland so large IS the total that 1t Is
a difficult matter to arrive even at an
approximate estimate. In Perthshire
alone there are 465 shootings, of which
about four-hfths are let TO tenants, and
bring in about e15O00O a year, or an aver
age of 9400 a year. which seems about
a fair estimate If It be borne in mind that
this is an expensive country. and that
fifty Of It's best shootings fetch 835,000. or
an average of 9700 a yearl In the whole
of Scotland there are about 1900 shoot
ings, and as each of them must at least
employ one keeper and one gillie during
the shooting season. some estimate may
be formed of the money expended in
wages and the number Of people employ
ed.
In the deer forests and on the larger
shootings there will often be from four
to six men permanently engaged. and
from six to eight others working for
the shooting season only. In a we'll
known forest where I once spent many
pleasant days there were three foresters,
three gillies and three pOnymen out each
day; on the grouse ground there were
three keepers. with three underkeepers. a
kennel man, and two carriers going to
and from the nearest railway station-a
total OF eighteen men and five horses,
not to mention the ponies kept for riding
into the forest and those kept to carry
grouse panniers. On this property three
rifles could stalk each day, while three
other parties Of two each could shoot
grouse, or the six could combine for driv-
ing.

years ago. He was accompanied and as

been lighted. Before him was a radiant
image of the sun. and on either side of
the altar were grim idols which had been
placed there by the attendants.

long black hair, which foated over his
shoulders He appeared altogether Ike

blazing fires had been lighted, which
cleaned in unnatural luster through his
long, almond-shaped eyes. He was about
forty years of age, and report alleged
that he had already some four times pre-
vIously performed the great sacrificial
act he was now about TO repeat.
From the moment this skeleton figure
had taken his seat the seventy fakirs
who surrounded him in semi-circle be-
gan to sway their bodies back and forth,
singing meanwhile a loud, monotonous
chant in rhytffmcwith their movements.
