Especial TO News and Observer.)

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 15.-Carolina s,
Georgetown Il.
This was the score at the end of the
first hall CT the Georgetown Carolina
game played today in Norfolk. And
that was the score when the referees
whistle sent the tired, dirty warriors
hobbling off the field at the end of hard
fought tattle
Dasbng runs, daring plunges, strategy
and pluck marked the game from start
to finish. 1t was played under a cloud
less sky. although the sun rays beat
down with summers force. The colo~s
of the two teams seemed evenly divided
among the thirtyfive hundred spectators.
AT first Carolina seemed to get the
jump on Georgetown and twire rushed
the ball to GeorGetown's 5 yard line, but
were unable to score, except by q beat
tiful drop kick of Graves from the 50
yard line. Georgetown won tho toss,
and Donnelly, for North Carolina kicked
off. if.er a few plunges on a tumble
Carolina secured the ball and rushed it
to the Georgetown yard line. But here
they lost it as the Georgetown line seem
ed impIegnable.
Georgetown kicked and again Carolina
pushed the ball to within : yards of
Georgetown's goal. but again were held
on downs and again Georgetown kicked
out of danger. Graves secured the ball
and advanced 10 yards. With the ball on
Georgetown's 80 yard line Graves dropped
a beautiful goal, scoring Carolinas only
point.
Carolina being unable to gain her dis
tance, was forced to kick. Georgetown,
by means of furious line plurging car
ried the ball over for a touch down, the
goal for which was kicked
Georgetown received the kick off and
with steady line plunges and with a
beautiful 40 yard run by Rourke scored
her second touch down and goal making
the score II to 5, which was the final
score.
The first half was soon over and The
second half had little or nothing of in
terest, consisting only in beautiful ,le-
fensive work of both teams.
The defensive work of Holt and Jones
was admirable, while Foust played a star
offensive game. The line bucking of
Hardisty for Georgetown was superb.
Rourke's 40 yard run and Berkley's run of
20 yards were the only long gains.
Oldham, R. H.; Engle, l.. H.: Fisher,
r. E., were substituted in the line up. as

CHAPTER XIV.

One night, it was at the time when
things at the quarantine station were
at their very worst, about half past z,
thoroughly sick at heart of complaints
1 could not remedy and wants l could
not supply, l wandered in the direction
of Warren's cave. We had become by
this time great friends. l had forgot
ten all his threats of vengeance and
| learned to respect and admire him for
his readiness to forgive, his tender love
of his wife, and his patience under
great suffering and privation, and there
fore 1 did what could in the way Of
supplying him with little luxuries, and
seeing him as often as was prudent,
that l might tighten his burden. This
evening thought could safely absent
myself for couple of hours, and taking
nv fishing line, as blind in the event
of my being seen, made for the cave.
He was, as usual, very glad to see me,
and together we sat at the mouth of
the cave and smoked our pipes, while
his wife made us cup of tea over the
spirit lamp; no other fire would have
been, on account of the smoke, at all
safe.
We we're talking of old times-to
him good old times: OF the gold rush,
when men picked up gold by the double
handful, and spent it as freely. "Ah!
them was the days, DOCTOR" he was
saying, "when fellow wanted his eye
teeth about 'im-But look at that there
boat! She's beating up for the Heads,
but she won't fetch them"
The boat to which he drew my atten-
ton was a good sized yacht that had
been outside the Heads, either for a
sail or for a fishing excursion. The
night had come up squally, and she
was evidently late in her return. She
carried little canvass, and was coming
in the teeth of the wind. Although
knowing nothing Of sailing myself, l
grew intensely interested as Warren
(who, like most middle aged colonials,
knew all the arts OF navigation) dilated
on the science of getting through the
narrow opening that forms such a
dangerous, and yet, at the same time,
such an easily defended entrance to
sydney harbor.
| NOW you ii sCO, cli HO rdlu, as tuo
boat came very near to us, "she'll tack
again, beat along the coast, and then
in. There they go! l told We so-My
Godn" he suddenly exclaimed, as the
sails tapped and the yacht reeled, "she
won't answer! She'll be wrecked!'
And sure enough, the next sea
brought her nearer the dangerous coast
below, and the next nearer still. Then
Warren grew desperate. Regardless of
danger, he rushed out of the cave, and,
bidding me follow, hurried down the
side OF the cliff.
BY the time we reached the edge of
my table rock she was close in to us,
and we could plainly distinguish a
woman's form holding onto the mast,
and that of an old man encouraging the
two sailors in charge.
There's no chance for Them" I
heard Warren say, half to himself.
