aft, and we poured Shot
from them on to the decks of the two Junks
as they came up on our starboard quarter.
We let them come close, and simply swept
their crowded decks. Scores of Cinnamon
fell dead or dying, and there was the great
est confusion on both OF the Junks. HAN
the men at the sweeps were killed, and 1t
was some time before they could get under
way again and sheer off out of range.
Meanwhile, the third junk tried>to create
a diversion and give them better chance
to get away. Her skipper noticed that both
of our eighteen Founders were aft and
he figured that we had no guns forward.
so he tried to run his junk across our
bows. But we had two old six-poundecs
there. which we had not fired. and we raked
him with them, until he also was obliged
to sheer off.
1.-The Chinamen's guns were of little use.
They were jingals loaded with rusty nails,
stones and any old thing that came handy.
But, like nearly all guns In China, they
had been kept in wretched condition. and
were more dangerous to those who fired
them than they were to us. One of them
burst on the deck of the junk that crossed
our bows, and killed a number of men.
Only two of our crew were wounded, and
most of the enemy's shot went high and
simply tore holes in our sails, that were
Tapping idly in the breeze.
'The junks soon had enough of 1t and
rowed away out of range of our guns. If
they could have got alongside and boarded
U.S. we should have been doomed, for their
crews outnumbered ours by at least ten to

She used to change her rig every week or
so In order to fool the pirates. Sometimes
you would see her rugged fore and aft. and
next time you saw her she would be a

1t was a good scheme, which entrapped
scores of junks during her period of serv-
ice on the station.

frantically tried to open the matches and
let their companions Up on deck to join
in the fight
THE skipper shot down three China
men in less time than it takes to tell the
story. l laid out another, but four of them
rushed at me, and next moment saw stars
and knew nothing more until / recovered
consciousness twenty minutes later.
when l opened my eyes. the deck was
a perfect shambles. The skipper had fired
two small carronades loaded with mus let
balls Just the rest of the coolies began
to swarm up through the main hatch.
About thirty OF them had been killed and
many others wounded, while we had lost
three of our crew.
THE mutiny was put down and our skip
per threatened to hang one Chinaman in
every ten drawn by lot unless they gave
up their ringleaders. They surrendered eight
OF them. who were soundly f1ogged and then
kept in irons for the rest of the voyage
You may be sure we kept a strong guard
over the Cinnamon and sharp watch on
them until We landed them in Havana.
But even when reached the Cuban
port our troubles were by no means over
There was a bad epidemic of yellow fever
at Havana at that time, and We had not
lain there three days before half dozen
of our crew were down with 1t. They died
of like flies. I sickened of the fever and

Another old skipper told of cruising off

miles from the volcano at the time. but

MARU CONTINUES
HER RISKY TRIP

AS graceful as a steam yacht, her
long white sides curving backward
from her overhanging prow.to the great
sunrise flag that hung from her taft
rail staff. with strings of gay bunting
fiuttering from her halyards and
ing the sun, the japanese liner pulled
out from her dock yesterday afternoon
and began the last lap of her journey
from the Orient to the Occident.
There is not much doubt that Captain
Going viii breathe another big sigh of
relief when the headlands, that senti-
mel of the Golden Gate, loom up in the
eastern sky, for the ship has by no
means passed the danger zone. In
deed, the presence of the Lena at San
Francisco is but a suggestion of the
unknown dangers that may be lurking
somewhere out on the waste of water
between Hawaii and the California
Coast. The Russian auxiliary cruiser

feather in the cap of any man whose

In fact, the operation of the Togo

cumstances should draw admiration
for the managers who are nervy
enough to take risks which would APP
pal many men. The Maru is one of
the finest boats on the Pacific and her
capture would be aSwindfaI for the
Russians and a tremendous financial
loss to her owners. yet she makes trip

On the present trip the steamer takes
only four hundred and fifty tons Of
freight to San Francisco and a very
small passenger list. She took a fair
quantity of mail matter.
