CHAPTER XVI.
AN EXPLORATION


Thursday was q perfect day after
the storm. The air was fresh and
cool from the ocean. Sidney was up
at an early hour and took his OBJ
servation of the time of the sunrise.
1t was Mr.. kent's turn to get break
fast, and he did himself credit. In
the meantime Sidney had been pre-
pairing for the exploration of the
island. He looked over the stock of
guns and selected rifle and a shot
gun. He found these weapons in
fairly good order, but oiled and
cleaned them carefully, and tested
both several times.
1t was about eight o'clock when
Sidney and Mr.. Kent disappeared in
the thicket through which the brook
took its course. MIR. Pence had been
detailed to explore the north shore
of the lake, and from the express
sion of his face he did not relish
the task.
He refused to take gun, and
armed with heavy club set out on
what he regarded most dangerous
expedition. 1t was low tide, and tie
beach was clear of water to .ne
frowning rocks which formed the
gateway to "Morton's Bay"
For the first quarter of an hour
Sidney and Mr.. Kent found it fairly
easy to follow the course of the
brook. A trail had been cut along
the winding bank the preceding
year, but such is the virility of
tropical vegetation that already it
was well-nigh closed. On both sides
was a jungle so dense as to be i'm
penetrable.
At the end of an hours hard
work they came to a cleared space
and found where the dam had been
built across Il gorge between two
rocks. The dam was about IL feet

The motion was carried unanimous

Snow, Mr.. President" continued
! Mr.. Morton, sit occurs to me that
1 there arc three divisions of work that
should engage our attention.. The
first is our sustcnance during the
time we are compelled to remain on
this island. 1t can be cnssed under
the broad head of housekeeping. The
second is a thorough exploration of
the island, and as careful an esti-
mate of our wirerea bouts as possi-
: BILE. The third is To plan and provide
means of escape. move that the
president appoint committees to SUI
pervisc, and be held responsible for
the performance of these Duties"
The motion being carried, Mr..
Rockwell pondered Il few moments
and said:
81 am OF the opinion that all MEM
\ bers of the Social Island Colony
should serve on the committee on
. housekeeping. If the work is shared
by all, the task will be light. but if
; it devolves on one or two men it will
be mere drudgcry. am going to
appoint Mr.. l.. Sylvester Vincent as

q member not employed at the time

pute the president will render a
decision. The president will also be
subject to Mr.. Vincent's authority
in the matter Of household duties.
It, will be accepted as unwritten law
that each member must keep his
OWN rroom in ccrder. Mr.. Vincent,
will yyou accept this commission"
ayes, sir-or Mr.. President,
rather" said Mr.. L.. Sylvester Vim
cent. He was delighted with the
title of general superintendent and
by the extent Of his authority.
IL shall appoint Mr.. Hammond
chairman of the committee on ex-
ploration," said Mr.. Rockwell. "He
will be assisted BY Messrs. Kent and
Pence, both of whom are great ex-
plorers."

ed Mr.. Pence. 81 would prefer to
go on some other committee"
''rhe chair will accept no resigna-
tions," said Mr.. Rockwell, and he
hammered on the table with ruler
to indicate that the question was
settled. "A1r. Andrus Carmody will
be chairman of the committee on
escape; Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Haven
will serve with him on that commit
tee. The president volunteers his
services on any and all these com
mittees. Is there any other business

urgently needs and demands your
services on the exploration commit
tee. If not, you will have to obey
Mr.. Vincent. He is general superin-
tendent, and you voted for him and
his authority.'
Sidney said that he did not need
Mr.. Pence at present. That gen
tleman arose, and with woeful ex-
preston followed Vincent to the
kitchen. a few minutes later he
donned Il white apron and entered
on his new duty. He proved an
adept, and Mr.. Kent looked in at a
side door and regarded his work with
approval.
Gle is the best man you could Sc
lect," said Mr.. Kent, addressing the
general superintendent, who was
critically watching Mr.. Simon Pence.
"He can cut the thinnest pairing you
ever saw. The potato will weigh
more when he gets through with it
than it did when he began. lie is u
wonder. Yon ought to see him pare
dividend"
"Malle him go way" pleaded Mr..
Pence.
But Mr.. Kent had disappeared.
Mr.. Vincent went in search of more
help. lie found Mr. Haven
81 shall have to ask you to chop
some wood" he said
"Ccrtainly," said Mr.. Haven, with
surprising alacrity. "Whcre is the
AK? was a dandy at chopping wood
when boy. How long do you want
it?" In a few minutes the sugar
magnate was hard at work, and at
the end of three hours lie had accu-
mulated goodly pile of wood and
ravenous appetite.
During the day Vincent went about
his duties in most systematic man
ner. He took each member of the
colony in charge, and showed them
the mysteries of the storeroom and
kitchen, and the exact location of all
foods and cooking utensils.
After dinner Mr.. Rockwell was de-
tailed to wash dishes aid Mr.. Kent
to wipe them. 1t was worth a Jour-
.ney around the world to watch the
great capitalist scrapc Il frying pan
or a kettle, and to see the deftness
with which the famous speculator
handled Il towel on the knives and
forks. He was giving a pan u finish
ing touch when it dropped to the
floor with Il crash.
Tin plate seems to be going
down. observed Mr.. Haven, who
was watching Mr.. Kent with much
interest.
"Yes," drawled Mr.. Kcnt, "what do
you suppose sugar is doing in New
York while you are away? I'll bet
it is not going up"
1t began to rain during the fore
noon, and Sidney was compelled to
postpone an expedition he had
planned, in which he proposed to
follow the brook to it's source, which
he calculated would be the highest
point of land ON the island.

said Mr.. Morton. Each man knows

said Mr.. Morton. each man knows
his duty and can go about it,"
Mr.. Vincent walked out into the
kitchen and in few minutes re-
turned. He stood in the open door
and looked over the gentlemen who
were variously engaged.
"Mr. Pence" he called.
Mr.. Pence had sunk back in his
chair and was examining book
which Sidney left on the table. He
lifted his eyes over his steel-rimmed
glasses and gazed languidly at Mr..
Vincent.
"You can come to the kitchen,
Mr.. Pence" said Vincent, "and pare
the potatoes for luncheon"
"What's that?" exclaimed the
astounded millionaire. "Pare pota-
toes! Me pare potatoes? Absurd!"
There was a general roar Of laugh
ter.
II am on another committee!" ex-
claimed Mr.. Pence, "the committee

"You now seem to be on the es-
cape committed" said Mr.. Kent.

appealingly.

Rockwell said, "unless Mr.. Hammond

A thorough search revealed none.
They then proceeded to make care
full study of the map, but it threw no
light on their position on the broad
surface of the globe. All that the
map showed. was. the contour of the
bay, the course of the brook to the
reservoir, and little to the west
of it, also the location of the bun
galow and the small island in the
bay. There was no scale, and the
waters to the east were designated
by no name.
"For all that this map shows we
may be on the moon," said Mr.. Kent.

Twelve Others implicated in a eele-
brated Tennessee land swindle. receiv-
ed similar sentences and fines.
McAlpin was indicted by the federal
grand jury at Fort Dodge. northern
district of Iowa. about six months ago.
His implication in the case was discov.-
cred by DR.. Stewart, of Iowa city,
postoffice inspector. who visited this
place to Interview McAlp:n. and was
informed by the latter that he was in
the employ of John A. Cobb. of Balm
bridge. o. 1t was thru the report of
Inspector Stewart the government
began its investigation. and unearthed
one of the most gigantic land swindles
ever attempted in the country.
The story of the fraud is an inter-
esting one. About forty years ago the
state of Tennessee executed to George
p. Saunders. of Scott county, Tennes-
see. a deed conveying to him 10000
acres of land About ten years later
Saunders died. without having proved
up on the grant. and the land reverted
to the state. People settled on the
land. and by virtue of their residence
gained titles to the property, as they
were bona fide settlers. and had lived
on the land seven years. which consti-
tutes ownership in Tennessee. Thru
some manner John A, Cobb, of Balm
bridge, O., McAlpin and others. knew
of the Saunders grant. and went to
work TO sell the land at standard
price of 5000 for 5000 acres AS re-
suit. within the past three years. 3oo'
600 acres have been sold from the A.
