We would get more or less mislead-

follow every clew. While in the
South Atlantic we heard from what
appeared to be a most authentic
source that the Alabama was at the
Cape of Good Hope. AS we ap-
preached st. Helena, Napoleons
island, the coal bunkers got low, and
we stopped there, and opened negotia-
tons with Scotchman for new
supply. He serenely demanded $50 a
ton in gold, without going to the
trouble of removing his pipe while
stating his outrageous terms. The
exchange was $685., making the total
price Uncle Sam was asked to pay $50
a ton, and we were using 400 tons a
day running at moderate speed
After a run of ten hours the ships
officers held consultation. The al
most impossibility of reaching the
cape without coal was only too clear,
and il storm should come up the
ship would be absolutely helpless. 1t
was hard thing to do, but there
didn't seem to be any alternative.
The ship was reversed and put bach
to st. Helena. 'Scotchy' was occupy
ing the identical position we had left
him in on his black gold mine.
This time he was a trifle more in
terested, because he knew we were
going to trade with him. He gave us
his philosophy this way: He had been
sitting on that coal pile for eighteen
months, waiting for a ship to come

the height of the Vanderbilt above
the water that she came in light, and
that her officers would not dare risk a
storm while she stood up so high.
Our return didn't surprise him a bit,
and he soon got his men to work and
loaded 1000 tons in the hold, for
which the federal government paid
$4,000. He said somebody had to pay
for his tobacco and his patience, and
we happened to be the victims. He

TWO COAL GONDOLAs SPILLED INTO
 THE BAY.
Republicans VIII Hold Big Rally in the Florida City--Woifc to Make Race as Inde-

Pensacola, Fla, Oct 13.-(Special.)-- Two gondolas loaded with about one hundred tons of coal went over the end of Muscogee wharf last night and the contents are at the bottom of the bay. That no one was hurt is peculiar, but it happened that no one was near.
 The. cars were being showed to the incline track on the dock. This track is about fifty feet high and in order to reach the summit. an engine with but few cars has to get a good headway. Last night this was done and about the time the summit was reached, the drawhead of one of the cars pulled out and left four cars wild" These cars rolled on to the end and were dumped of.
 All day one of the heavily loaded cars hung over the end of the dock and seemed as though it would fall at any moment.
