handed attack would be useless, chang
ed his tactics. Taking the opposite
side Of the deck, he ran forward, div
ing first into the carpenters shop and
then into the boatswain's locker In
few moments he returned, staggering
under the weight of grindstone and
an immense iron snatch block. He de-
posted both on the topgallant rail and,
leaping beside them, stood poised above
the humping, heaving boats. that swung
at the vessels side.
"Below therew he bawled. "There
are lines hanging over the side for
those who want to come aboard
again.
The howl of derision that greeted
this information was quickly changed
to one of fury, then dismay, for at that
moment the grindstone was lifted high
above the undaunted stowaway's head
and hurled crashing through the bot
tom of the outer boat. A wild scram-
BILE for the inner one ensued, but that,
too, was speedily rendered unsea-
worthy by the fall of the ponderous
block. Amid the snorts, splashings
and curses of the outwitted crew both
boats filled rapidly and sank A score
of bobbing heads, believing Justify,
blackened the starboard channels, and
twenty pairs of hands clawed at the
barnacles as the vessel fell and rose.

he was hopeless. He seemed incapable
of learning the names or positions of
ropes, sails or spars, and neither curses
nor ropes ends could coax him farther
aloft than the ridgepole. On the other
hand, he proved himself a model paint
and brasswork cleaner. 1t was discov.
cred, moreover, that the man could
steer. For these reasons no sooner did
the Dunbarton run into warm weather
than "Awkins" was relieved Of his
watch and watch" and turned into an
'idler.''
From that time he worked all day
and slept all night. He trimmed the
lamps, cleaned the brasswork, helped
the steward, took innumerable
"Wheels,", tended the passengers and
was looked upon as the general poop
factotum.
The Dunbarton, like many Australian
clippers, carried a limited number Of
cabin passengers. On this trip she had
seven-a young married couple named
Swelling, a Frenchman Of the name of
De Montparnasse, Mr.. Angus, a South
Australian horse breeder, and the own
er's party. The latter consisted of Mr..
Armstrong, his sister-in-hw, Mrs.
Pearce and his daughter Beatrice.
In the natural order of things on ship
board it was not long before this little
company got shaken together, and
then, in the natural order of humanity,
paired off. The young married couple
chung to each other with praiseworthy
tenacity; the captain and Mr.. Arm
strong were constantly to be found
talking ship together; Mr.. Angus and
Mrs. Pearce, who was a widow, be-
came boon companions, and De Mont
parnasse danced daily attendance upon
Miss Beatrice.
Such was the state of affairs when
the Dunbarton was three weeks out, at
Which time she careened to the full
strength of the northeast trades and
with every rag set was bowling swift
~ down to the southwark. Then, day
by day, the sun shone hotter, sea and
sky took on a warmer tone, the air
grew balmy, and shoals of glittering
flying fish skipped lightly past the bow.
The poop awning was brought out and
stretched, cane chairs and lounges, rel
les Of former East Indian voyage,
made their appearance, and the pas
sengers, driven from below by the
heat, spent most of their time on deck.
At four bells one evening Hawkins,
the stowaway, came aft to the wheel.
by taking the second dog watch trick
for men who wanted to play ''bluff''
the stowaway earned his tobacco.
"Sou' by east" he repeated after the
man whom he believed, and he grasped
the spokes with the air Of one who en-
joyed his occupation. ~
Below in the saloon the cabin folks
We're at tea. Through the open sky
light came the sound Of their voices
and laughter. At the break of the poop
the second mate leaned thoughtfully
over the weather rail. An ordinary
seaman was shipping the side lights.
The slush lamps in the house and fore
castle began to show. Slowly the sun
departed, night overlapped the day,
and darkness fell like garment upon
the waters.
Hawkins leaned comfortably against
the wheelbox, his face Illuminated by
the pinnacle light, occasionally giving
the ship few spokes up or down. He

crew were useless, the second mate
went aft to the passengers. He found
them gathered in little group before
the mizzen mast, old Mr.. Armstrong
standing erect in the center, with his
arm axoNnd his daughter. -
The officer explained the situation
and advised that they should them
selves launch one of the boats.
"Come on, thenw shouted Mr.. Angus.
IF we've work to do, let us do it,
Just at that time, however, a tall fig
ure clambered nimbly over the vessels
side and stood among them. It was as
though he had come from the sea, for
he was dripping wet, and the nerve
shocked passengers peered at him ap-
prehensively.
"Gentlemen," spoke the newcomer in
a strong, calm tone, "the ship is in no
Immediate danger, and by taking prop
er precautions she may yet be saved"
'Who is this?' exclaimed the second
mate, stepping closer to tie man. But
before his words were wholly finished
a ray of moonlight slanting under the
foot of the main topsail lit up his face,
and several voices cried, "The stow
awayr
"This is no time for tomfoolery, Haw-
Elns"' cried the officers angrily. IF
you're not mad, lend a hand to get this
boat off the skids.'
The stowaway, without noticing this
remark, turned to the owner. "Mr.
Armstrong" he said, "as there seems
to be no one else capable of restoring
order, will take it upon myself to do
so.' Without waiting for a reply, he
continued: IF you are man, Mr.. GU
tram, you will take the wheel and keep
the helm amidships until 1 get the
yards braced. And you, Mr.. Angus"
he continued, will be of much service
If, with Mr. Swelling, you will secure
what firearms there are in the cabin
and protect the ladies'
The next instant Hawkins bounded
to the poop ladder and disappeared.
Then above the cries, the oaths and
the uDroar of the deck there rose the
thunder Of his mighty voice:
"All hands on the port bracesv'
His tones commanded attention. The
men looked around to see who gave the
order, and one or two Of them, by force
of habit, took a few steps across the
deck At sight Of the stowaway, how
ever, a shout, half snarl, half jeer,
went up, and they fell back to their
work.
Two of the boats were already along
side, and several of the hands were in
them, while the remainder were busy
lowering water, provisions and their
"dunnage."
Gail hands on the port bracesw again
roared Hawkins.
The boatswain at this took turn
with the fall he was holding and, draw
ing his sheathknife, sprang at the
stowaway. But the murderous on
slaught of the man was checked by
bloW-a blow that struck him sQuarely
on the chin and felled him in the SOUP

men, and from the shadow of the

War TAXES REPEALED.
Democrats Protested Against Sup
preston Of Debate, but They
Voted for the Bill.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE unex-
pected happened in the house today
when the bill to repeal the war taxes
was passed unanimously without.
word of debate. This action was the
outcome of a challenge thrown down
by Mr.. Richardson Of Tennessee, the
minority leader, after the adoption by
asstrict party vote Of a special order
permitting debate on it until 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, but cut off all on
portunities to offer amendments EXCEPT
such, as had been agreed upon by the
ways and means committee. The
adoptionsof the rule had been preceded
by. stormy debate in, the course Of
which the Democrats protested
against tie application: Of the sgag,'
which Mr.. Hay Of Virginia charged
was meant to prevent free expression
not only by. the Democrats but by
some Of the Republicans, attention
being especially directed toward. Mr.
;Babcock of Wisconsin, the father Of
the bill to amend the steel schedule@of
the present tariff. law. When the rule
was adopted by the vote of 15s, to 120,.
Mr.. Richardson emphasized the. fact
that debate on the bill could accom-
plish nothing and that deliberations:
upon it would be- frui tless, asked
unanimous consent that the; bill be
placed upon its passage. Not an oD-
lection was voiced land the vote was
forthwith. taken. Every vote, 27S IA
number, was cast In the affirmative.

Cotton Still Booming.

/; New York, February 15.-Mr. Tbeo
lore II. Price, the well known cotton
expert, in an interview today says
% The cotton market confines to ad-
vance and there is every indication OF
very much higher prices in the imme
liate future. It is becoming generallv
recognized that the supply is made
Iquate to the worlds consumption al
present prices. Heavy receipts an'
bear manipulation here and in Liver
oool fail to have any effect. The
threats OF those who earlier in the sea-
son conspired to deceive tie world as
to the crop and to depress prices are
futile. They promise, like all efforts
to subvert the truth, to react upon
their authors. Cotton having beer
unduly depressed will nov probably

is reported to be bidding 3 IA cents

Iivered in Fall River up to July
Trade here and abroad is in condi
ton of unexampled prosperity. 1t

nav for it,
