time the van NOS
trands were living in one of the most
imposing mansions In the city. The
children continued to live there after
their fathers death until they married
and only Frank remained.
Old residents say thai one day, not
long after the last of the family had
married and left the homestead. Van
Nostrand was seen moving his person
u effects from the stately ancestral
mansion to small building In the
rear where he has since remained. Fo-
years he has not been seen on the
street in daytime and there are only .
few who know the man.
Some Of the old people remember a
beautiful New York girl who came 10
spend her summers In the mountains
back of Kingston. Van Nostrand
owned the smartest horses in the city
and he was often seen driving with
this beautiful girl. He never talked
about the girl and his friends believed
.hat he regarded her name as too sa-
cred to be spoken. For two summers
this went on. Then the girl went back
to New York. The next spring Frank
Van Nostrand moved to his hermitage.

Rear Admiral Cuslodeo lie Mello, of
enc ironciad cruiser. Two torpedo
boats and several merchant vessels
seized the harbor of Rio Janeiro. No
vessels could pass into or reach the
piers In the harbor. and much distress
was occasioned. A small fleet OF
American warships was in the neigh
borhood. among them the Detroit, in
command of Commander Brownson.
An American merchantmen was also
there with cargo to discharge, but
was prevented from landing by Mello's
fleet. Her captain appealed to the
commodore in command of the Ameri-
can warships. with the result that the
Detroit was detailed to act as an es-
cort to the American vessel and to see
that her captain had an opportunity to
discharge her cargo. Clearing decks
for action and with every man at his
post, Commander Brownson sent word
to Admiral de Mello of what he in
tended to do. and then gave the conf
mand that sent the Detroit and the
smaller vessel on their perilous way.
Through lane formed by the rebel
navy they sailed. Some gunner OF the
Brazilian feet fred snot at the mer-
chairman, and before the smoke hao
cleared away one of the big guns on
the Detroit Ee,ched forth. Brownson
shouted from the bridge to the Bra
lillian admiral that If another shot was
fired he would deliver broadside.
This had the effect of soaring the Bra
Zillans.
