stranger make himself comfortable.
! They 'f1shed all that day with rare luck,
and at shutdown the Little Mother"
was deep with her cargo of barracuda,
Once under the lee of Point Tomas on
the homeward trip the breeze died out,
and the boat went drifting with the
tide. The southern reaches OF the en-
trance to San Diego harbor are COW
cred with sandbars and shadows that
extend two miles along the inner side
of Coronado,
The tide ran out while Little Moth
err was drifting above these bars, ana
when darkness fell she went hard
aground. A dense fog came with the
night. The channel buoys disappeared,
The distant lights of the city were
blurred and quenched in the thick haze,
and by the time hood-tide came again
it was impossible to steer the boat with
certainty or safety.
Wed better anchor till the fog
lifts" said Tom, wondering what his
mother would think if he stayed out
all night.
His comrade sullenly agreed, and so
they dropped anchor, and lay rocking
in the calm cloud Of mist for hours.
The stranger fell asleep in the bottom
of the boat, but Tom, big-eyed now,
his heart beating with wild excitement,
sat in the bow watching. 1t must have
been near midnight when he crept
down into the hull and unshipped the
little pump. The tide was going out
again and as he dropped the disman-
tied apparatus into the sea he heard
the water gurgling into the hold. The
stranger ives yet sleeping when Tom
slipped over the rail- breast high in the
water, and headed for shore.
1t was two IN tho morning when he
reached the police station in San Diego
He was headed and wet, his be-
draggled shirt and trousers were clus-
tered with burrs and thorns, his feet
were bleeding and he could hardly
speak the words:
Captain, I've got the Mexican that
killed Hansen"
1t was daylight when they sur
rounded the scuttled lugger. The Mex
lean was awake, clinging to the half
submerged mainmast. The rickety
boat loaded with fish and bumped by
the now running seas. was going to
pieces plank by plank. Tom didn't
waste a thought over the captured
murderer after he saw the police lay
hands on him, but he shed weak, I'M
willing tear over the wreck Of the Lit
tie Mother"
why did you wreck your boat
Tom?" asked his mother that day while
the story of her boys heroism made
him the talk of the town.
We'll, nanny" he said. II was
afraid the Mexican d get away to sea.
l wanted him, you know, but what I
wanted most was that two hundred
dollars reward. 7 can buy new boat
for half the money.--John II. Raftery

FOR THE WIRE CORPORATION.

The Petition to Extend Manufacturers
Street Railway Companys Line
A number of prominent citizens last
evening appeared at city hall to be
heard before the committee on railroads
and bridges on the petition of the Man
ufacturers' Street Railway company for
permission to extend it's line across the
Ferry street drawbridge in order to
give the National Wire corporation OPP
portunity to haul it's product to the
Consolidated road tracks. The Wire
corporation is now about to rebuild the
plant which was destroyed by fire some
months ago, and every effort has been
put forth by prominent citizens to in
duce the managers Of the corporation
to retain that very important industry
here, employing as it does several hun
dred men.
One of the inducements offered to the
corporation to rebuild here was the
promise that the Manufacturers Street
Railway company would extend across
the drawbridge to the wire plant. This
Manufacturers Street Railway compa-
ny was organized by manufacturers in
Fair Haven and a line built, which is
used only for the transportation of
freight to the steam road tracks. 1t
has proved Of great value to the manu-
facturers and it is said that because of
the facilities thus afforded by it some
plants which the owners contemplated
removing from New Haven because oe
