lions were lighting the fires. The smoke
in lowering clouds hung heavily over
the ships, for the wind had died and
there was scarcely enough to blow if
away. The pale moonlight mingled
with the red glare from the flames
and threw an added touch of lurid
ghastliness trembling over the smoke
wrapt sea. From below came the
steady roar of the Scraps guns. from
above the continuous cracking of the
Richards small arms. The noises
blended in hideous diapason of de-
struction which rose to an offended
heaven in the horrid discord of an in
fernal region. The prisoners. still un-
der the influence of their terror. toled
at the clanking pumps. The water
gushed redly from the bleeding soup
pers Order, tactics. discipline, had
been forgotten. Men glared with blood
shot eyes. set their teeth beneath foam
faxed lips and fought where they stood
fought in frenzy against whatever
came to hand. whether it was the Eng
lish ship or the roaring flames or the
rushing waters. They rocked nothing
of consequences. In their frantic bat
tie lust they beat upon the sides of
the other ship with their bare hands
and bloody knuckles and knew not
what they did Their breath came
quick and short The red of battle
was before their vision. They had but
one thought-slay, KILL, One would
have said that the brute instinct was
uppermost in every heart. But in
scenes of this kind it is not the great
est brute that wins. but the greatest
soul. and the one man who still pre-
served his calmness in this orgy of
war was the man to win the battle
Jones.
The Alliance had repeated her pre-
vious performance, but the men had
been worked to such a pitch that they
never needed her. Many of them did
not know of it. Both ships were
thoroughly beaten. 1t was a question
as to which would realize it first. who
would first surrender. Nay. there was
but one possible finish = there was
no question of Jones' surrender under
any circumstances whatsoever. Pear
son would give up under some condi-
tons. and those had at last arrived.
That was the essential difference be-
tween the two men. 1t was radical.

BIG FIVE OFFICIALS IN THE EAST
Report That A Proposition for Bath House
and Hotel is Being Pushed.

The absence of Secretary Merrill and
President Daniels, of the Big Five FEEDER
alton, in the east has led to the circula-
ton of the report that they were there
together for the purpose of completing
arrangements for the construction of the
Big Bath House, and perhaps the hotel
as well.
1t is known that the matter was to re-
ceive the attention of Secretary Merrill
when he visited the east and it is also
known that during the past month sur
veys have been made on the ground for
the bath house and also that plans and
specifications have been drawn.
We believe it is the intention of the Big
Five Federation to build the bath house
during the present year, but the hotel
will have to be in sight before we will
make either oral or written confessions
The bath house, however, would serve
an excellent purpose. 1t is to be 25o feet
in length and two stories in height, so
that it will afford bath rooms and read
ing and club rooms as we'll This alone
will be most desirable addition to the
resources of the city and we will greatly
appreciate it if it can be established
during the present year.
