a low headland half mile away from
the anchored vessel steal four or five
boats. pulled with muffied oars and fill

noiselessly.
Perhaps they are not discovered and
thus reach the sides of the ship. The
next instant the armed men are pour
ing over her bulwarks, and a desperate
fight takes place on her decks. Per
haps they are discovered before they
reach the vessels side. The alarm Is
given. The men in the boats hear it
and lash their oars through the water
in q determined effort 10 reach the ship
before the rapid fire guns can open up
on them. Flashes of fire illumine the
night. The searchlights send out shafts
of binding white. The sharp peals of
the six and three Founders. the rapid
hoarse barking of HotchkiSs revolving
cannon, the vicious sputter of Cuttings,
break upon the frightened air. Give
way with a will"' shout the officers of
the boats as the men bend to the oars
and the light guns i'll the bows hurl
their defiant answers back at the wall
sided ship. AS the boats sweep up to
the vessels side gOngS clang and rat
ties sound calling away the rifiemen to
repel bOarterS from the boats. If the
boats crews can board the ship and
clap down her matches before the crew
gets on deck, theirs is the victory, but
if her secondary battery is manned and
her rifiemen stationed before the boats
are alongside, then goOdby TO the boat
expedition, for there is nothing more
pitiless than Cuttings and revolving

RAIN AND WIND <. AT TEXARKANA.
Buildings Unroofed and Stores Flooded to Depth of Several Inches by Downpour
 of Rain.

Texarkana, Ark, June 30. - This city was visited by a heavy rain and wind storm Wednesday afternoon, and it is feared that heavy damages have resulted at points not yet heard from.
 The large three-story furniture house of E. A. Dryer, on West Broad street, was completely un- roofed and every floor was flooded to a depth of several inches. The damage sustained to the stock will reach severa thousand dollars and carried no tornado insurance.
 The rains Wednesday morning and afternoon were terrific, the heaviest that has fallen here in June for many years.
