20 the effect that the men who robbed
the Great Northern train at Wagner,
Mont, last Monday. secured $4,000 in
complete national bank notes, which

The bank numbers were printed in

was stated at the department that as
soon as notes OF this character are
shipped TO the bank they are regarded
by the law as in circulation, and are re-
deemable by the government as well as
the bank, which has on deposit at the
Treasury sufficient bonds to cover their
redemption
AS the express companies are under
bond for the safe delivery OF all ship

I'VE had all the light canvas off the
ship and were skimming along under
reefed lower sails when we saw the
other three, and it seemed that they were
hurting themselves upon us even faster
than the one that had already got so
near.
The men worked quicker than they
ever had before, and inside of two min
utes we were under bare poles and wait
ing for the spouts to do their worst.
i have been in many storms and have
often doubled the dreaded Cape of Good
Hope, but such rolling as our schooner
did for the minutes those waterspouts
did business about us have never seen.
We were tossed about the surface of the
ocean like cork, and for at least FIVE
minutes we could see nothing but a dense
mass OF furious water.
Then there was ray of light through
the darkness. the sea became calmer and
soon we could not have told from the an
pearance of the sea that anything had
happened.
My men told me afterward that there
were half dozen or more of the spouts
all about us, but did not see more than
four, and they were enough to turn an
ordinary mans hair gray.
