about like cork in mill race. 1t
said: Whip him up to the scratch or
you're lost, SO letting fly my leg l gave
the big swarthy giant sharp kick on
the shin and fixed my keenest glance
upon him, full in the face.
"'Hal Wescott, said 1, If you're aein
me for captain of this boat, say so,
man..
THAT glance was too much for him.
He WINGED like a dog under the lash,
and, turning his bloodshot eyes away,
he muttered out:
g That's all right, messmate, I'm for
you. votes ay, ay, SIR
1.-The men seemed to draw a long
breath as they heard these words.
"'Good enough l replied. Now,
men, listen to me. We're in a
bad way, a very bad way. We
haven't any water at all, and only
about half-a-dozen biscuits, half OF
which are soaked with sea water, but
I'll dry them as soon as the sun comes
out. It's more than likely that we're
in for long fast before we're picked
up; but I've been in just such a fix be-
fore this and if you'll be patient and
follow my instructions to the letter,
may be able to save you all. Now, il
you don't know, l must tell you one
thing and that's this: A man can GO
without food or, better said, with an un.
common small allowance, for several
days if he lets sea water alone. Mind
what l say, if he let's sea water alone.
When thirst comes on you you must
grin and bear it, for once you begin to
drink sea water you're doomed! It'll
transform you into raving, screeching
lunatics, and in your madness you'll as
likely as not fall foul of some one OF
your messmates as famished beast
would of a fat sheep. But bark We,
men, continued, laying my hand on
my revolver, Pm determined to see fair
play in this business, and as the car

full sleep they would dream of coming
upon sparkling rills and cool fountains
shaded by far-reaching boughs, heavy
with dark green foliage, and wher
about to plunge their red and swoller
lips into the cool and limpid pool il
would move away from them like a
painted curtain drawn slowly aside only
to uncover darkness, blackness, moth
ingness! Their screams and prayers as
they awoke were pitiful. Sitting bolt
upright, their haggard faces, half flayec
by the action of the scorching sunlight
and brine, would be turned upon me.
and hard though they strove to contro
themselves, could hear the low, dull
whisper: Water! Water: Water!'
"Wescott, strange to say, bore his
sufferings more patiently than l had
anticipated. l was touched by what
seemed to me his devotion, his obc.
dience, and spoke kindly to him. But
he paid no attention to anyone or any.

ing about in this terrible fashion. when
one morning was aroused by a shrek
and cries of Captain! captain!' The
buckle of my belt had been drawn up
to its hole in order to keep my poor,
collapsed stomach from grinding itself
to pieces, and had left the steward on
watch and was catching few winks OF
sleep, when that fearful shrek caused
me to start up with jerk.
1.-THE beast was loose! Yes, these
words describe the situation exactly.
While I had been sleeping the giant
mulatto had walked up in q frenzy,
which the others had made futile eff.
forts to control, had filed tarpaulin
hat with sea water and taken long and
deep draughts of it. In few moments
he was raving mailman, frothing at
the mouth and tearing his own flesh
with his glistening teeth. It was a
sight to strike terror to the stoutest
heart. What l feared at first thought
was that he would swamp the boat, for
he threatened every moment to rise
from his kneeling position. TO turn the
boat over meant quick and sure death
for us all, for not one of us had strength
enough to swim stroke. But no, the
maniac had other ends in view. With a
deep, prolonged growl he threw him
self upon the poor steward, and Selling
the terror-stricken man with his huge
hands he drew him into his lap as if he
weighed no more than four stone.
'Then felt my hair stiffen and my
heart struggle to keep up its beat, fol
horror of horrors, what did see? That
huge beast in human form with a rapic
motion bent the stewards head bacl
and then set those terrible teeth of his
into the poor mans throat. In an in

and vigor astounded me. but although

brass tobacco box out of his brooches

SHOT IN HELENA.

Helena, Dec. 3.-While trying to es-
cape arrest, j. Edgar Smith was shot
twice and dangerously wounded by
Officer Leonard Bailey. One bullet
entered his back about five inches
below the neck and between the
shoulders. The other shot took ef-
feet in Smiths ankle, shattering the
bone.
Smith was wanted for uttering a
worthless check, and is known to
the police as an all-round crook. He
had been ordered out Of the city
twice within ten days. He is charged
with making out a forged check in
the |. x. L. saloon payable to Chas.
Donovan, which the latter is alleged
to have tried to pass.
The police were notified and Smith
was located in q saloon on upper
Main street. Officer Bailey entered
the place and when Smith was
pointed out, he held the door open
and ordered him to pass out, with the
statement that he was under arrest
AS soon as Smith passed out he
bolted down Main street, and Officer
Bailey started after him.
Just before Smith reached the cor
ner of Cloe street Officer Bailey
called out, Halt, or will shoot"
Suiting the action with the word he
fired twice in the air, but instead of
stopping the reports Of the pistol
only spurred Smith to a greater
speed. Officer Bailey fired two more
shots at the fleeing mans legs. The
first took effect, but did not stop
him. In a minute another shot was
fired. Smith slackened his pace and
appeared lame. Bailey put away his
gun and soon caught up to the
wounded man. He was quite faint
and was assisted up the street by the
officer, but grew weak and was car
ridd the remainder Of the distance
to the police station. Later Smith
was taken to hospital. where it was
found the wound in his back was ser
ious. He has been sinking all day
and but slight hope is entertained
for his recovery.
Smith is % years old and says he
was born at Jacksonville, Ill. His
name is believed to be assumed.

had no more effect than the tapping of
a lady's gloved hand.
meantime, the stewards face grew
blacker and blacl<er. There was not an
instant to be lost, and setting the barrel
of my revolver at the mulatto's ear,
pressed the trigger.
sit seemed an age before I heard the
sharp crack of that pistol. 1 suppose
my hand was paralyzed, but it came at
last, and the big black monster dropped
his prey, and rolled into a heap in the
bottom OF the boat. For q few mo-
ments saw nothing more, but gradu-
ally pulled myself together and max
ing motion to the others to help me,
we laid hold Of the huge corpse and
tumbled it into the water.
"Ah, that was fearful deed, but
never regretted it, sir, never!''
Here Mr.. Robert Ridley, retired mar
liner, paused, drew a long breath and
then continued as follows:
Towards nightfall we fell in with q
vessel. We sighted her at shutdown,
and she was then a mere spot upon the
distant sea, and we thought no more Of
her when darkness came; but next
morning she was showing within an
easy pull, and we then saw that she
was q wreck, all three masts gone, and
her thick shrouds trailing over the
side, as though her hole was full of
serpents crawling away from her. AS
we passed under her stern we read the
name: Grace Tucker, Boston, She sat
high pom the water, and seemed new
ship; anyway, her copper was new, and
have been seen for miles.
"We sprang aboard, all mad for wat
er, and then for food. Figure our joy
when tell you we found scuttle-butt
full of cold water, with a dipper ready
at hand to drink from. There was q
dead man lying in the galley; he was a
half-caste, and the atmosphere was SO
bad with him that two of us tumbled him
over the side without ado. Aft was a
long deckhouse; l entered it to rum
mage for food, and the first thing saw
was the body Of man lying upon the
deck stone dead, with living dog sit
ting alongside of him. When the dog
saw me, he crawled like dying crea-
ture on to the mans breast, and feebly
showed his teeth. He was something
after the breed of a water spaniel, but
his eyes were red, and seemed on fire
and I felt scared somehow on seeing
him alive, and, though saw how weak
he was, had no heart to push past him
lest he should fly at me.
II called through the door to one o.
my mates: jackson! Jacksonv mean
ing that between us we should secure
the dog, but had no sooner uttered the
word Jackson than the dog crept of
the dead mans bosom, and, weakly
wagging his tail, comes to my feet anG
