another with him, and then, in place of

fishermen belonging to the island of

q matter of fact, they were subjects
of the sulta OF SGlu, who is now en-

AS sailors, Captain Clarke found
them good enough. They could not un-

At - O'Clock that night Captain
Clarke was awakened from a sound

agony:

Jumping from his berth, Captain
Clarke ran to the foot of the cOmpan~

at that moment the Malay, Y. Sierra,
appeared. and the next instant Cap

knife cleaning in his hand.
Not a word was said. but as the cap
tain mounted the stairs the Malay be-
gan swiftly thrusting the knife at him.
The captain saw at once that IL was
a Tnurderous attack, and fought back
with his clenched right fist, warding
off the knife with his lefC arm as best
he could in the narrow space. But the
Malay was in deadly earnest, and clos

The fight began just after midnight

an open boat and the ship herself. with

means the last act of the daredevil
pirates of Uncle Sans newly acquired

notable in the history of American COM

right good idea OF the character of the
inhabitants of several islands of the
Philippine group, notably Zulu and
MindaneO.

sailors ran aloft, and one hid in
store room, in a deck house, where the
carpenter slept. The Malays took these
men, one ct q time, and killed them
in cold blood. throwing their bodies

served in like fashion.
Captain Clarke was at last once more
master OF his ship. but it was too late
to save her. He could only get out his
boats, fill them with supplies and mead

Nc hammedan Love of Death.
According to the histories our pirate
citizens came to Sulu island from BOr-
neO at about the time Spain took pos
session of Luzon. They were Malays
by birth and MOhammedanS in relig-
ion. They very quickly dominated the
Sulu group and Mindaneo. for they
were as aggressive and capable as the
old Vikings. When the Spaniards un-
dertook the task of subduing the Sulu
islands bv the methods that had been
successful in the West Indies, they
found these Malays of very different
metal. The Malays not only defeated
every Spanish force sent to them, but
with every monsoon they sent their
great rOwboats, that they handled with
the S9anish-held coasts.
No hercer pirates than these ever
went aflOat, because blOOdshed was a
part of their religion. No man could
be a chief among them till he had
Topped off the heads of sixty unbe-
levers. The Spanish men who We're
captured We're always killed, the wOm-
en- We're sent to the haremS and the
young children were enSlaVed. Not
until breech-loading and rapid-fire
weapons came into use did the Span
ish get even a foothOld in the Sulu
archipelago. General ArOlas, a repub-
lican. was sent there some time in the
SOS by the mOnarchiSts who expected
him to die. put he lived and estab-
lished the Spanish power there. Then
the government sent a new ruler-One
of the Weyler SSrt-tO replace him,
with the result that the pirates within
a few months killed him and almost
his entire force. a Malay chief liter
ally split his skull open down to his
teeth in the presence of all the Span
ish troops. and at that signal the
chiefs followers. armed with knives
only routed and slaughtered all the
Spanish troops save a lucky few who
escaped by flight and stealth.

In their Diratical forays these Sulus

boo Outrigger on each side. They had
no less than 200 of these craft in 1912,
that ranged from twenty to thirty tons
in burden, each of which was manned
with from forty to fifty men. The
number decreased from year to year
thereafter. They used both sails and
paddles. the latter having diamond
shaped blades. A cross section of one
of these huge dug-outS was very near
" an eqUilateral triangle, the two sides
representing the bottom being slightly
rounded. The breadth across the out
ringers was about eight times the
beam of the canoe. The speed of the
boat, whether Under sail or paddle,
was tremendous when the water was
smooth enough.
