rejected the offer
The cook had tired of the situation

the captain was left alone on groan-

One morning she was sighted by the
American tea ship Flying Scud, home

sent aboard Captain Davis was IN
good health and the hulk as sound as d
dollar. He admitted that he was bit
lonely, but was more determined than
ever to stick to his craft. What he
wanted were spars and a few men, and
1t so happened that the Scud could ac.
commodate him with both Then he
raised the question Of price and re-
fused to pay what was asked, and he
finally fell into a temper and ordered
his callers back to their own craft
Although he had driven his own
crew away by his threats he took It
much to heart that they had gone, and
there seemed to be hope on his part
that they would finally return ia his

craft sighting him was authorized u

valued at about 100000.
A week later tile wreck was over

which had received notice Of the desire

believed that loneliness and anxiety
had affected his mind TO a consider

in that hulk, and it was but natural

The mate returned with four men

self and ordered them off. When no
attention was paid to his threats he
opened fire and killed the mate and a
