Miller had heavy piece of iron in his

Three-Day skIrmIshlng.
For three days there was skirmishing
between the captain, Miller and Glew, in
armed with heavy Colts revolver and
they menaced him with bits of gr1ndstone,
pieces of iron, or anything they could
pick up All this time the vessel WAS

and so it lasted to the end Of the fight.
1t was three days before Miller and
Glew would consent to leave their posts
Of defense where they had taken their
stations at the forward corners of the
forward house. The captain fired when
ever he saw any part OF their bodies ex-
posed, not daring to come up abreast the
forward house at close quarters. Miller

Clark Was "Puppet"
Jacob, the Swede, was at the wheel all
the time Although he knew of the mu-
nifty and was In sympathy with his COM
rades, he did nothing to help them ex-
cept to steer the vessel, which was a
necessary performance on the part OF
somebody. The wind being fair, SO that
she could lay her course, her sails being
set and the weather moderate, no further
attention was necessary for the SAILING
and safety Of the vessel. At night the
captain hung a lantern to the mizzen-
mast and retiring to his cabin and clos
ing the doors was in comparative safety
He had a double barreled gun and sever
al revolvers loaded and ready for use
He had plenty of ammunition at hand and
his wife to assist him in keeping 6
bright lookout. The muniteers never
ventured to leave their posts till they
gave UP from sheer exhaustion through
want of food and rest
During the days they made quite 6
spirited fight In resisting the attack made
upon them by the captain. I wanted

and went forward Miller went into the
fore cabin and waited. The mate came
on deck and walked forward on the lee
side by the starboard main rigging. On
this same spot a few weeks before he,
together with his brother, the captain
sprang up behind him and struck him one
awful blow upon the head with his
weapon of iron.

wanted me to call him. 1 refused, plead
ing that had called up the mate, and
suggested that Glew call him up. He,
too, refused l then suggested that Mil
Ter call the captain, and he consented
going at once to the cabin for that pur-
pose.
"Miller's presence in the cabin made the
captains wife suspicious that something
was wrong. Naturally Miller was feared
by all on board. Certainly the captain had
good grounds for fear Besides, 1t is not

A strange, heavy sensation over my
chest sent chill of fear through me.
From overhead, on deck, came a low
soughing roar, the ship trennbled, the
beams creaked, and some invisible
power, incomprehensible for the mo-
ment, lifted me slightly and pressed
me heavily against the bunk board.
The dimly lighted cabin outside my

open and the second mate flew out,
apparently in mid-air, his trousers half
on, his night shirt tangled about his
shoulders. I think he was yelling,

Congressman Wiley Will Ask for an Increased Appropriation for Work on Government Prop

Congressman A. A. Wiley. at the extra through bill increasing the appropria- tion for the addition to the Montgomery Government Building. There are strong reasons for believing that his efforts will be successful. '4te
 The addition now under way is inade- quate. The extension runs back only fifty feet. When completed it would not give the room required by the Govern ment officials.
 Moreover, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals will hereafter hold regular ses- sions in Montgomery. There will be no suitable place for the sittlngs of the Court of Appeals. Even when completed the addition would not afford the re- quired room.
 The plans for the addition did not con- template making room for tho Court of Appeals The plans were made before Con1 gress provided for the sitting of the court in Montgomery. This will be urged annex than ie now under way.
 The excavations for the addition have been made and the foundations have been laid. Changes in the plans would, how ever. necessitate no very large expense.
 The sum of $75.0o0 was appropriated for the building of the annex. It was to be three stories in height and to run back seventy-fivs feet
