Although Papers Have
Not Been Signed,
An Oral Agreement Has
Been Reached.
Some Have Coniectured the
Price at $500, 900.

No surprise is caused by the an
nouncement that the Everett Moore
syndicate has purchased the Canton
Akron property. Ever since the an.
nouncement made in Saturdays Dem
ocrat that negotiations We're In pro
gress there have been few who
doubted for moment that the deal
would 70 through. This was con
cluded from the fact that the Everett
Moore syndicate obtains Its object in
q street railway deal. While the pa
pers conveying the property have not
Jet been signed, 1t is believed this
formality viii not be long delayed.
Vice President VIII Christy, OF the
N. .. L. Co., stated to Democrat
reporter Thursday morning that al.
though the papers had not yet been
signed there was an oral agreement
on terms. II believe the papers will
be signed within few days" said
MI. Christy. The deal, with the ex
ception Of few formalities, is closed ,
No statements have yet been give,
TO the public relative to the price pai(
for the Canton-Akron property. 1t /,
believed, however, that the Everett
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-10-17

Moore syndicate made the purchase
at its own price. ''The property in
cluded in the purchase" said Mr.
Chrsty, "is only that Of the Canton
Akron Co., between Canton and Ak
ron. None of the plans of
the Tucker Anthony people, south
of Canton, were purchased" He de-
clincd to state whether the Everett.
Moore people were negotiating for
the purchase Of Tucker-Anthony plans
for line by which the Cleveland peo.
pie could connect the Forest City
with Columbus by an electric line. 1t
Is believed that this deal viii be made
later
A Chicago Construction Co, headed
| by Il. r. Myers, has the contract TO
build the Canton-Akron line. '~The
terms of the contract" said Captain
Aaron Wagner, Thursday, "wele that
the line should be put in shape for
the rolling stock for 100000" Half
of the line has already been construct.
cd, and the Myers people viii complete
the contract. 1t il understood that
the terms of the deal are that the
Everett Moore syndicate take charge
Of the construction work and every.
thing from the time the deal is closed
formally, paying Contractor Myers for
his work on the remaining part of the
line not now completed. "Of course"
said Mr.. Christy Thursday, "thc Tuck
er-Anthony people were allowed the
money they have paid out thus far,
before the unfinished plans were CON
sldcred"
Some have conjectured that the
price paid for the property is in the
helghborhood of 100000 CAPTAIN
Aaron Wagner, who has not admit
ted that the deal Is closed said Thurs
day that 100000 would be small
value to place on the property. II the
original contract for construction
work was 100000 and half the work
Is completed then 100000 must have
been paid ont already or contracted;
there are also franchises, rights of
way ana plans TO be considered. Thos.

The night passed, and the next day,
after dinner, Redruth and were afoot
again and on the road. l said good-by
to mother and the cove where had lived
since l was born, and the dear old Ad-
miral Benbow-since he was repainted,
no longer quite SO dear. One of my last
thoughts was OF the captain, who had
so often strobe along the beach with his
cooked hat, his saber-cut cheek, and his
old brass telescope. Next moment we
had turned the corner. and my home
was out of sight.
The mail picked us up about dusk
at the Royal George, on the heath.
was wedged in between Redruth and
a stout old gentleman, and in spite OF
the swift motion and the cold night air,
must have dozed great deal from
the very first, and then slept like
log uphill and down dale through stage
after stage; for when was awakened,
at last, it was by punch in the ribs,
and 1 opened my eyes to find that we
were standing still before large build
ing in city street, and that the day
had already broken long time.
"Where are we?" asked.
BRISTOL" said Tom. Get down."
Mr.. Trelawney had taken up his resi-
dence at an inn far down the docks, to
superintend the work upon the schoon-
er. Thither we had now to walk, and
our way, to my great delight, lay along
the quays and beside the great multi
tude of ships of all sizes and rigs and
nations. In one, sailors were singing
at their work; in another, there were
men aloft, high over my head, hanging
to threads that seemed no thicker than
q spiders. Though had lived by the
shore all my life, l seemed never to
have been near the sea till then. The
smell of tar and salt was something
new. l saw the most wonderful figure
heads, that had all been far over the
ocean. saw, besides, many old sailors,
with rings in their ears, and whiskers
curled in ringlets, and tarry pig-tails,
and their staggering, clumsy sea-walk;
and if had seen as many kings or arch
bishops l could not have been more de-
lighted.
And l was going to sea myself; to
sea in schooner, with piping boat
swain, and pig-tailed singing seamen;
to sea, bound for an unknown island,
and to seek for buried treasure.
While l was still in this delightful
dream. we came suddenly in front of
a large inn, and met Squire Trelawney,
all dressed out like n sea officer, in
stout blue cloth, coming out OF the door
with a smile on his face. and capital
imitation of sailors walk.
- Here you are" he cried, "and the
doctor came last night from London.
Bravo-the ships company complete!"
"Oh, SIR" cried I. when do we sail?"
Sail" says he. I'VE sail tomorrow"

Silver, If you like" cried the squire;
"but Us for that intolerable humbug,
declare l think his conduct unmanly,
nnsailorly, and downright un-English.'
Well" says the doctor, I'VE shall
see."
When he came on deck, the men had
begun already to take out the arms and
powder, yo-ho-ing at their work, while
the captain and Mr.. Arrow stood by
experimenting.
The new arrangement was quite to
my liking. The whole schooner had
been overhauled; six berths had been
made astern, out of what had been the
afterpart OF the main hold; and this
set OF cabins was only joined to the
galley and forecastle by spared pas
sage on the port side. 1t had been
originally meant that the captain, Mr..
Arrow. Hunter, Joyce, the doctor, and
the squire were to occupy these six
berths. Now Relruth and were to get
two of them, and Mr.. Arrow and the
captain were to sleep on deck in the
companion, which had been enlarged
on each side till you might almost have
called it roundhouse. Very low it
was still, of course; but there was
room to swing two hammocks. and even
the mate seemed pleased with the ar
rangement. Even he, perhaps, had
been doubtful as to the crew, but that
is only guess; for, as you shall hear, we
had not long the benefit of his opinion.
We were all hard at work, changing
the powder and the berths, when the
last man or two, and Long John along
with them, came of in shore-boat.
The cook came up the side like n
monkey for cleverness, and, as soon as
he saw what was doing, 80 no

ly. "You may so below, my man.

"Ay, ay, SIR" answered the cook;
and, touching his forelock, he disap-
peared at once in the direction Of his
galley.

the doctor.

were shifting the powder: and then

way Of thinking, and hated the captain
deeply.

CHAPTER Z.

All that night we were in great
hustle getting things slowed in their
place, and boatfuls of the squire's
friends. Mr.. Blandly and the like, COM
ing off to wish him good voyage and
q safe return. We never had night
at the Admiral Benbow when l had
half the work: and l was dog-tired
when. a little before dawn, the boat
swain sounded his pipe. and the crew
began to man the capstan-bars. might
have been twice as weary, yet would
not have left the deck; all was so new
and interesting to me-the brief COM
mands. the shrill notes of the whistle,
the men bustling to their places in
the glimmer of the ships lanterns.
Now, Barbecue, tip US stave,"
cried one voice.
.Ihe old one" cried another.
SAY, ay, mates,' said Long John,
who was standing by, with his crutch
under his arm, and at once broke out
in the air and words knew so well:
Fifteen men on the dead mans chest"
And then the whole crew bore Choir
US:
"Yo-ho-ho. and bottle Of rum"'
And at the third "ho!" drove the bars
before them with will.
Even at that exciting moment it car
ried me back to the old Admiral Ben
bow in second; and seemed to hear
the voice of the captain piping in the
chorus. But soon the anchor was short
up; soon it was hanging dripping at
the bows; soon the sails began to draw,
and the land and shipping to fit by on
either side; and before could lie down
to snatch an hour of slumber the His
PAMELA" had begun her voyage to the
Isle of Treasure.
I am not going to relate the voy-
age in detail 1t was fairly prosperous.
The ship proved to be good ship, the
crew were capable seamen, and the
captain thoroughly understood his
business. But before we came the
length of Treasure Island, two or three
things had happened which require to
be known.
Mr.. Arrow, first Of all, turned out
even worse than the captain had feared.
He had no command among the men,
and people did what they pleased with
him. But that was by no means the
worst of it; for after day or two at
sea he began to appear on deck with
hazy eye, red cheeks, suffering tongue,
and other marks of drunkenness. Time
after time he was ordered below in dis
grace. Sometimes he fell and cut him
self; sometimes he lay all day long
in his little bunk at one side of the
companion; sometimes for day or
two he would be almost sober and ut
tend to his work at least passably.
In the meantime, we could never
make out where he got the drink. That
was the ships mystery. Watch him as
we pleased, we could do nothing to solve
! it; and when we asked him to his face,
he would only laugh, if he were drunk.
and if he were sober, deny solemnly
that he ever taated anything hut
