the Carmencita on its voyage to
the seal roOkeries, where the fat
young bachelor seals are protected
by law from just such men as Nc
Lean.
Months went by and no word was
heard of the craft. Then came the
news that she had been spoken and
boarded. by the British gunboat
Clearwater. A search for illegal
skins was made, but none could be
found, and although the Carmen
cita's papers did not look right, the
Shearwater was slow to act forcibly
in American waters. The crew was
described by the officer boarding
the schooner as the worst looking
lot of cutthroats / ever laid my
eyes on" And so the pirates we're
left alone on the bare, gray seas of
the north to raid and kill as they
pleased the young seals protected

over the deeds of this bold, swag-
gering pirate, into port he comes
with a load of skins and fine yarn
which he as well as his crew spun
to quell the storm which greeted
him.
Not as the Carmencita, but as the
Acapulco, did the little schooner
come home from it's long voyage
not becaptained by Mclean, but by
one William Thomas, who was I'M
fortunate to sicken and die away up
in the far north, and hence forced
to final repost at the bottom of the
sea.
This story will, if we'll enough

chewing followers of Mclean, make
