about $50 horse power, and her coal
consumption was about, 40 tons per
day, or about five pounds of coal per
indicated horse power per hour. She
carried q full spread of sail. In 1871
the White Star steamer Oceanic (the
first Of the name), occupied a leading
position. She: was iron-built, propelled
by a single screw and maintained a
sea speed of about 1411a knots: The
steam pressure was IS pounds per

FULFILLING A PREDICTION.

Sultan of Morocco Frightened by Foreign
Ministers Death.
While Sir William Kirby Green was
the British minister to Morocco he
was suffering both from a stroke of
paralysis and from an affection of the
heart. Hall Caine dramatically de-
scrfbes the closing incident of his dip
lomatic career. Day after day Sir
William met Mulai Hassan to discuss
with him the Cape JUDY claims, and
every time the business was put off.
Sir William was man of temper, and
the delay irritated him. At length in
the midst of one of his ceremonious in
:terviews with the. sultap, while Mulai
Hassan smiled and waved his hand,
and insisted that the business could
wait till tomorrow, Sir William lost
all command of himself, and broke in
on his majesty's dismissal with these
words: MY lord, listen. You do not
know what you are doing, but I will
tell you. You are killing me- Yes,
and any of these days I-~may fall dead
at your feet. might fall dead at your
feet now: And il that should happen,
remember one thing, my lord, my coun-
try will call you to account Mulai
Hassan- listened, and spoke not a word
mo man had ever addressed. ,him thus
before, and his vizier and ministers
and troops of servants, who bowed and
crouched before him, had heard it ALL
His fine black face twitched slightly,
and he said: '"Let me finish the busi-
ness Immediately" It was settled then
and there. In the middle of tnat night
Sir. William died. When the news Of
his death was; brought to the sultan
fear seemed to take possession Of him.
It was evident that he remembered the
words the minister had addressed to
him the day before. Possibly he was
glad that,he mad at least fnish he'd the
business that had brought Sir William
SO often into his presence. ~1i, -.~>|

the sound of "a horses hoofs Gathering
