Mai-Gen, Henry w. Lawton wa,
Suried in the national cemetery at Ar.
hngton February 0. 1t was a national
tribute to national hero. and the sor.
row of whole people was expressed
when America added the chaples of
cypress to the brow that so long had
worn the laurel. The burial service
beneath the leafiess trees at Arlington
was preceded by services in the Churcl,
of the Covenant on Connecticut avenue.
at which every department of the
army and navy within the reach of
Washington was represented.
Lawton, to the great bulk of Ameri-
cans, had been the incarnation of the
American soldier. He had made his
mark in the Civil war from the Missis,
slpp. to the sea. and in the interval of
potential peace it was he who had
beaten at his own game Geronimo, the
greatest master of desert craft and
mountain fighting that the West had
ever known, and who, in the new prob
iems of tropic war, had proved the
most daring and resourceful of all the
generals in the field, 1t was in tribute
10 these qualities that the Lawton fund
had in few weeks been swelled past
all the expectations of its originators,

dier first, md only had left to those
who loved him no heritage save his
sword and a spotless name.

CHAPTER XIX.


AS we kept the coast of South Africa
well aboard, a few days after we saw
Cape San Foque, or, as 1t is sometimes
called, Point Pelinga, the northeast
ern extremity of Brazil, rising from
the blue water like a purple cloud.
But 1t diminished to a low black streak
on cur weather quarter when the sun
set, and we found ourselves ploughing
the waves of the South Atlantic.
There fell calm for whole day
after this, and while the Eugenie
rolled lazlly on the long CLASSY swells.
with her topsails tapping. and her
courses hauled up, the sole amusement
of the crew consisted in catching al
batrosses. or in killing them, unde-
TERED by the old superstition that 1t
was bird of good omen," or by the
story of the Ancient Mariner" of
which they were probably ignorant.
A flock of these gigantic sea-birds
congresated under our stern. where
they gobbled up everything that was
thrown oyer to them, so Hislop and
Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1900-02-15

proceeded methodically to fish them
on board.
We procured strong lines, baited the
hooks with pieces OF pork, lashing
thereto a buoy formed of common
cork, and lowered four OF them over
the stern
They had scarcely touched the
water, when amid a furious flapping
OF heavy pinions. they were eagerly
swallowed; the hooks and lines began
to bear taughtly, and we soon had four
gigantic albatrosses splashing tho
water into froth in their Intellectual
efforts to escape.
We towed them in. hand over hand.
and after measurement found the
smallest to be eleven feet from the tip
or one wing to the tip of the other.
Though rank and fishy in flavor, the
flesh OF these birds was made into
sea-pies, on which the crew were re-
galed for two days after, and they par
took of 1t with great apparent relish.
But Jack is not very particular, es-
pecially when at sea.
Though none of the crew shared the
superstition connected with the de-
struction of an albatross. and probably
none, save Hislop and myself, knew
the splendid ballad written by Coler-
idge. 1t would seem as If our misfor-
tunes commenced with that days wan
ton sport!
The huge sea birds became shy and
lert us. The sun set amid saffron-co
ored waves, and the western sky was
all aflame, when the sails began to
fill and collapse as the wind came in
heavy puffs, causing the masts to sway
from side to side. and the bellying
courses to crack and flap with a sound
like thunder.
AT last there came a steady breeze:
the courses were left fall, and with
both sheets aft, for the wind was fair.
the Eugene once more walked through
the shining waters.
Full, round, and silvery the moon
arose, and tipped with liquid light
every wave, that seemed to dance on

hour had the snow-white foam flying

Soon after this, when evening came
on we heard noise in the forecastle,
and the voice Of Hislop exclaiming
Stand clear sheer off. Antonio! II

You do?" exclaimed the Scotsman,

Next morning Roberts, the old man

Antonio's chief accuser concerning his
dreams, was nowhere to be found on
boardl
All the hands were turned up; the
whole brig was searched, the fore
castle berths, the cable-tier, and every
place below from the fore to the after
peak, but there was no trace of Rob
erts, save his old tarpaulin hat lying
crushed and torn in the lee scuppers.
He was last seen when turned IN
to take the middle watch, which ex-
tends from 12 to o'clock a. M. and
Antonio was then in his hammock.
Roberts was entered in the log as
having fallen overheard in the
night" but his loss cast a terrible
gloom over all the ship. Suspicion
grew apace, and seemed to become con
hrmed, as open war was soon declared
between the crew and Antonio.
Every man was ready to take his

he was generally to be seen, leaning
moodily and alone, against the wind

on the horizon, as if he expected a
