The cold gauges began to quiver; but,
as every man on board well knew, no
human means could get a working
steam pressure under half an hour
On deck the crew had run the boats
up to davits, had hove short by hand
and then stood like men on the drop,
waiting their fate. The 1uggers had
mastheaded their yards and were beat
ing down the lagoon against spank
ing breeze. One after the other they
tumbled out through the passage and
swung on the outer swell, and then.

some scared sea fowl out over the blue.
sun scorched waters.
But. though the yacht had canvas,
Kettle knew that she could not beat to
windward, and so dare not break his
anchor out of the ground till the en-
gineers had given her steam. There
was nothing for it but to wait with
what patience they could.
The japanese gunboat had been
sighted far enough off, and. as she was
coming up from the farther side of the
ring of reefs. she had to circle round
them before she could gain the only en-:
trance. Moreover, her utmost paper
pace was eight knots, and she happened
to be foul, and so her advance was
slow. But still to the watching men it
seemed that she raced up like a west
ern ocean greyhound
Then the chief engineer called up to
the bridge through the voice tube that
he could give her enough steam for
steerage way in another minute.

"Break out that anchor! By handi

Then a thought flashed across Captain
Kettles brain, and he quickly gave it
to Carnforth. "It's only a beggarly
chance, sir, but we'd better try it, l

"Yas,' said Carnforth.
''If only we hadn't painted out those
names. we might have done it more
safely. As it is, we must risk ii. Off
with you below, cir, and get into some
decent clothes. You'd give the whole

bridge here in those filthy rags. You
may be yacht owner, sir, but, by

Kettle gave crisp orders TO the hands
ON deck, who disappeared also. and
presently came back dressed as spruce
yachstmen-in white trousers, white
drill jumpers and straw hats, and by
that time the yacht was underway and
slowly to the pass.
The gunboat was coming in with her
crew at quarters. officers with swords
on and everything cleared for action.
The japanese flag ran up to her peak.
Promptly an English Royal Yacht club
burgee broke out at the poacher's main
truck, and British blue ensign run
up to her poopstaff and dipped three
times in salute.
Carnforth came up on to the bridge.

Silury saw her father astride a pow

a moment to the amazed eyes of the

happened, and fearing a stronger at

rises at half-past FIVE in the morning,
there Is no object in getting the extra

day. He would simply loaf away the
time. Whereas, by getting off at p.

for employers to concede the change
voluntarily than to await the outcome
of perhaps disquieting agitation on
the part of their workmen. or course

HOW GOV. BRADY OF ALASKA
GAVE THANKS FOR HIS PEOPLE

Thanksgiving Proclamation, District OF
Alaska; Executive Office, Sitka,
Alaska, 1900.
The past year has been one of great
development and advancement in Alas
ka. Thousands have come here risking
the perils Of the sea in all kinds of ves-
sells, allured by the prospect of obtain
ing an abundance Of gold in a short
time, and with little effort, While
some have been bitterly disappointed
and have taken out an evil report OF the
land, others have said "The land which
we passed through to search 1t Is an
exceeding good land" They have taken
out sacks Of dust as proof. Tho they
did not find the land with milk ana
honey flowing, they are convinced that
1t can be made to flow with these very
things. Congress gave us a code of
civil laws and two more courts to en-
force them, and has made large appro-
priations to carry out much for our
welfare. The miners and fishermen
and woodsmen feel well rewarded for
their toll, and where the earth has
been titled It has not failed to produce.
We have many reasons for beiag
thankful. Our friends and acquain-
tances in the old home districts whence
we came, are rejoicing in abundant
haryests, and in the many good things
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1900-12-06

which make life enjoyable. Let us re-
ioice and render thanks with them.
In accordance with the proclamation
of the President and the time-honored
custom of our forefathers, therefore |,
John G. Brady, Governor OF the Dis
trict Of Alaska, do hereby appoint
Thursday, the 2sth day OF November,
1900, as a day Of solemn and public
thanksgiving to God for past blessings
and Of duplication for his continued
kindness and care over us as a District
and Nation.
On the day designated let us assemble
at our respective places Of worship
and with grateful praise and thanks
giving, confess our responsibility to
God, the Creator of us all, and forget
not to share our plenty with the widows
and strengthen the arms of the father
less, to comfort the sick, cheer the I'M
fortunate and manifest charity towards
all.
Given under my hand and the great
seal Of the District OF Alaska, at Sitka,
this 9th day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred,

of our American Independence and the
thirty-fourth of the transfer of the Ter
