and live ashore for a few months, but
when this had been partially accom-
plished and while all hands were ashore
one day the craft broke loose and went
drifting out to sea. to be boarded by
us four or five days later. The robbers
had been taken off the island by men
sent in pursuit, but the brig had drifted
beyond their range
You can imagine the disgust of our
crew when our captain related the sto-
ry of our find and added that he stood
ready to give up the booty to the Rus
sian authorities. 1 suppose he was both
legally and morally right in this, but
we didn't care a rap for that If the
Laplanders had ever found it. not a
piece would have been returned. We
had as good as fished il out of the sea.
and had we been able to lay hands on
it again it would have gone down in a
hundred fathoms rather than be re-
stored.
1 don't know whether the captain in
tended to put into any Russian port or
not, but e so he was saved the trouble.
Two days after we left the Swede a
Russian man-Of-War which he spoke
and put on our track oVerhauled us
and demanded the plate. When thas
was given UP, we were commanded 20
accompany him to KEN and were vir-
tually under arrest during the voyage.
To his great surprise and no slight cha
grin our captain learned that While rob-
berry was q crime in Russia it was j
still greater crime to come across stolen
goods and take possession of them He
protested his willingness to turn over
the booty, but the Russian captain cold
ly replied:
Yes. You told the Swede YOU would
give it up. but when we sighted you were
you on your way to KEMP Who reduced
the articles to their present condition? The
robbers, you Will say, but where is your

TREASURE AFLOAT.

VI.
We were coming down the White sea
in the Liz errOol bark Silver Spray after
landing cargo at a Russian port wner
we fell in with and boarded brig
which had seemingly been abandoned
foi. a week or more The forecastle and
&c DIN were empty of bedding, and not a
single article of clothing could be found
We searched N vain for the logbook
and the ships papers, nor could we ma
a scrap of writing OF any sort me
nag locker was empty, but we should
have known the brig to be a Russian
without seeing her name. Her clock,
chronometer Of she had one), log line
and officers instruments, together with
her charts and the compass from the
pinnacle. had been removed
We thought that we might learn
something by a look at her cargo, but
when we got the main hatch off we
found she was only in ballast. We
made discovery of Importance IN Jne
cabin, however. She had shallow
lazaret reached by a trapdcor. and from
cut of this recess we hauled four large
leather sacks Of silver plate. About nal1
of the lot was church plate, while the
rest had belonged to some private in
0ividual. Every piece was of solid sl-
YER but many Of them had been bent
and hammered to get them into the
sacks These latter receptec!S5 were
made of cowskin, with the hair still on,
and were laced up at the seams. IL
took our united strength to haul the
bags out and on deck 1t was little
wonder, though al there was about 400
pounds of dead weight to a sack.
Here was something worthy of the
name of loot, and in the course OF an
other hour we had the sacks aboard of
the bark and had left the dereliet to her
fate.
AS to the silver. it seemed plain
enough that it was the proceeds of a
robbery somewhere in Russia. 1t was
given out that it would be taken home
with us and sold for the benefit Of the
crew, and for two or three days we were
busy figuring out our respective shares.
Then we encountered Swedish mer-
chairman in distress and stood by him
for portion of the day to render as
sistance. He had come out Of the White
sea and while conversing with our cap
tain incidentally inquired if III cruising
about we had ever got sight of a small
brig named the GrOdnO. That brought
out the story and solved the mystery,
and it also got our entire crew into a
peck Of trouble.

The Grodno was owned at the port of
KEN, in the White sea. 1t appeared
that while she was waiting for a cargo
a band of eight robbers plundered a
church and also the residence of the
governor of the province on the same
night. In getting away from the latter
which to carry off their booty but in
stead of proceeding inland they took
forcible possession of the brig. Only
her mate and a boy were aboard. but
two or three of the robbers were also
sailers. They compelled the mate to put
to sea. and, though pursued the next
day, they had the luck to clear off
The idea was to get to England with
the booty, but after getting around on
the north coast it was thought better
TO go into hiding until there was no
longer fear of pursuit.
The island of Tana, at the entrance
of Tana bay, was selected. It was the
intention to strip the brig of everything

because we had taken the plumber from
the wreck, but I think the whole thing
was sort of a bluff to prevent US putting
in claim for salvage. Some of our men
outside of court happened to say that the
brig did not seem to be greatly damaged.
For three or four days her owner was loud
in his threats that he would sue for her
value because we had made effort to
save her, but he finally decided not TO do
So
1t was nearly two months before the au-
thorities were through with us, and
whether would have been freed or sent

of a Russian lawyer we all signed away

THE YAVAPAi BONDS
Territory Will Now Begin to Receive
 an Income


 The August session of the territor ial board of equalization was finally adjourned yesterday. The board practically finished all its business last Friday. There was, however, the matter of the levy for the payment of the interest on the so-called Ya,apai bonds to be disposed of The Yavapai authorities were willing to pay the interest. but they did not pay all at once the accumulation of interest for the five years which the bonds have been in litigation. They wanted to know if some arrangement could not be made by which the payment could be made during period of years. The bonds amounted to about s25O,- GOO. the interest on which required levy of more than 30 cents. Two years interest had accumulated when the case was taken to court. When the supreme court finally passed on it ii ordered that the supervisors Of the county should make levy of 63 cents to meet the interest that had accrued to the time of the beginning of the suit That order was made by the supreme court upon the valuation of Yavapai county at that time. The valuation is now considerably more, but there is no way to get back of the finding of the supreme court, so that the amount that will be raised by this levy will be more than is neces- sary to liauidate the interest for those two years There has, though, been an accumulation of three years since then.
 The members of the board of equal ization went to Prescott, last Satur- day to consult Attorney General Wells regarding any authority they might have 10 temporarily lessen the bur den upon Yavapai county. The attor- ney general said that the board, being only a ministerial body, could not do otherwise than 10 carry out the judg- ment Of the court Tn Indt case. anu that the levy of 63 cents would have to be made.
 The disrict attorney of Yavapai county took part in the conference. He said that the people Of the county did not want to evade payment, but since the 63-cent levy would have to be made it was hoped that the board would not press for the interest which had accrued since. He said he be lieved the county could in the course of two and a half or three years square itself with the rest of the ter ritory in the matter of interest.
 Yavapai's interest on these bonds has been paid out of the territorial general fund for the last five years That drain, amounting to about 13,- 900 yearly, is now stopped, and this year more than ssO0O0 will be return ed to the fund from that county Phoenix Republican.

 New York. Oct Mot only will Jack Warner return to the New York team next year, but it is reported that an- other one-time local player will be on McGraw's team next season. This player is George Davis, who was with fhe Chicago Americans this season
 McGraw is said to have landed Davis about six weeks ago. The inf1eld slate for the New Yorks next season, ac, cording to one who is close to the in side. is as follows: McGann, first base; McGraw second base; Elberfeld, short stop; Davis. third base; FultZ, Mertes, Browne and Van Haltren, Outheld
 There have been rumorS that Delehan- tv would be back in the National league next year. but no less an au- thority than Delehanty himself says he will stick to Washington The only Del declared himself positively to that effect yesterday at the Gravesend track ''Any talk to the contrary IS bosh,'' he said. Jack Doyle, who played second base for Washington after leaving New York, was in the city yesterday and expects to be back with the National league in 1903. Doyle has no grievance and speaks highly of the American league associa- fions. but ne does not care to play sec ond base, and as two or three National league teams want him to play nrSt next year he will accept one of the of fers. Speaking of first basemen, it is said that Selee of Chicago tried to get Cafey of Washington, but failed. The fact is, American league club owners and managers are pretty popular with the players, who, therefore, prefer to stay by them. Doyle has come to the conclusion after trying both leagues that the foul strike rule is no good. "The fonl is a part of the game, !" he says. and 1t would be just as reason able to cut out the fair hit.
