The able seaman refused, and sug-

The mate called the captain, whose
commands, threats and powers Of

him, and, after ordering in a shaky
voice, the apParition TO come down,
the captain fired three bullets al the

her. He came up with a roar and
with the utmost fury pitched at the
gator. The willy saurian heard him
coming and had turned half around
when the bull caught him on his horns,
half lifting him from the ground. The
gator clawed and bit at its antagonist
and the fight for several minutes was
a warm and bloody one. Finally the
bull triumphed and got the gator un-
der his feet, when he trampled him to
death.
No. was all this time trying to get
the calf into deep water, but the little
fellow was fighting as well as he
could and bleating loudly. The gator
had gotten him into two feet of water
when Mr.. Carew appeared on the
scene. He drew his gun and killed No.
