evidence OF the vessel or her crew had
drifted ashore. This had always been
their custom and ANAL boats and dead
bodies had often been found even %
soon after great catastrophes.
In few hours the searchers began
to return to the village empty-handed.
As they came each reported in turn
that nothing had been found. 1t had
been . severe storm, however, and
everything had probably been dashed
to pieces against the rocks about Cape
Disappointment, and the bodies of the
crew, they thought had been sent to
the bottom Of the sea or were dashed to
the rempants OF the vessel where all
must be dead.
The forward party which followed
the beach toward the ocean, and had
proceeded about mile was startled by
a noise while climbing among the drift

Old Seadog Reioices

Long before the old man and the
child were found. other fishermen had
launched their boats and had pulled out
on the bay.
Some went to the fishtraps and 9TH
ers made straight across to the wreck.
But old Seadog had prepared to 20
aboard the stranded vessel and to hold
it against all Corners until he should
carry out his plans. Firearms had
been secreted in his small boat before
leaving shore and these were trans
TERED to the wreck.
One OF the boys was left on guard
while the old man leading the others
went on searching tour OF the ship.
They soon found that the vessel pos
sessed but little that YVES OF value for il

But it was not wealth OF the kind
that the world considers valuable that
old sesdos was looking for. it was that
which would remove all cloud from the
little to his own wealth.
1t was while thus engaged in ran

ton of Governor Pennypacker for the
supreme bench but the governor de-
