WICHITA AFTER OIL.
Chamber of Commerce and Gas Com
mittee Meet.

Wichita. Feb 22-At a meeting of
the directors and the gas committee of
the chamber of commerce it was decid-
ed to investigate the possibility of Sc
curing gas for this city as soon as pos
sible with a. view of starting another
well either in the east or the southeast
of the city.
The committee decided that it would
be advisable to work together with
Whitney Tucker and Mr.. Refs, who is
drilling the well at Valley Center. The
work at Valley Center has progressed
very satisfactorily. The drillers report
ed to the chamber of commerce that
they had passed through 30 feet of good
sand and that the prospects are excel
lent.
AS soon as the work on the Valley
Center well is completed it is proposed
to prospect either east or southeast of
the city. By drilling while they have
access to the outfit at work at Valley
Center they will be able to save a great
deal of expense
The drill being used there is entirely
new and there is not a better one in
the Kansas field. This drill was brought
here at a great deal of expense and it
is thought to be advisable to continue
the work while they can secure such
good outfit.
Moreover by combining efforts with
Mr.. fuckers company they will save
nearly one-half the expense. This COM
pany now has 1000 feet of new casing
which could be used on new we'll AS
the casing is one of the heaviest ex-
penses to be met by the drillers it can
be seen that a great saving will be
made by securing the casing being used
at Valley Center.
The committee decided that not only
should they give their moral support to
the work of drilling for gas but should
also lend financial aid to the project.
1t was finally decided that the execu-
tive committee and gas committee
should meet together with the mayor
and city council for the purpose of plan
ming some definite action in regard to
the boring for oil or gas either east or
southeast of the city.
BY carrying out this plan it is argued
that the city will be able to have two
wells drilled for practically the price
of one. The matter will ne taken up
with the council at the next meeting.

of the men did not agree but as we had
heard nothing about the pirates we. could
up to- Their leader was an imDudent
swaggerer, who would not promise to do
any work In return for his passage to
Bombay, and he had not been aboard two
days when the captain ordered him into
irons. This action sobered him up, and
presently he was as humble as you please
and begging for his release. When re-
stored to liberty he was jealous in his du-
ty, and all suspicious on our part would
have been lulled but for discovery made
by one of the apprentices who understood
the Hindoo language.
Thinking themselves alone in the fore
castle one afternoon the strangers plotted
to take the ship, and the lad overheard
captain: He passed word to the crew, and
of a sudden the Hindoos were fallen upon
and made prisoners.
Not three hours later the gunboat from
Bombay boarded us to give US the news
about the pirates and ask that we keep
our eyes open for them. Great was the
had prisoners aboard who answered to
the description of those he was after.
The Hindoos saw that the game was up,
and one of them made a confession Their
leader was Dondra himself and they had
learning that their whereabouts was
known, they had put off to sea In a panic
and in a boat stolen from another vessel.
Two of their number had been stabbed to
death during quarrel and their bodies
thrown overheard. The five survivors in
tended to fall upon our crew OF eleven
men and murder all.
OF course, the men were surrendered to
the gunboat, and upon being taken to
Bombay proof sufficient to hang them was
easily obtained, and within three months
of their boarding US in midocean they
ropes. We had done little or nothing to
bring about their capture, but the gov
eminent Of India paid US the reward ana
added its thanks to the money.-(Copy-
right, 1905, by I. G. McClure.)

death. the cargoes transshipped. and
the crafts scuttIed.
It was piracy after the old style, ex-
cept that the brig did not dare at
tack larger vessels. Her acts finally
reached the ears of the authorities,
and men-of-war started from Bombay
and Calcutta to overhaul her.
After sailing part of the way up the
coast of CeyIon the Comet put about,
and she was half way back to her har-
hor of refuge when the Serpent Oman
of-war) sighted her. It was during a
heavy gale, and nothing could be done
but chase. 1t was three days before
the Serpent fired a gun. Just as even
ing was coming on on the third day,
and after the mutineerS had refused to
surrender, she crept up and fired a
broadside into the brig and sent her
to the bottom. It was supposed at
the time that everybody aboard was
drowned, but two months later news
reached Bombay that Dondra and four
other half-castes had got away in a
boat and reached an island at the
mouth of the Gulf of Manaar. A gum
boat was sent down to make an in
vestigation, and a reward of two thou
sand pounds offered for the five men.

a QUEER CAPTURE.
nv NJ Oua.dN


In the year 1884 the British survey
steamer Comet left Bombay to resur-
vey the Maldive islands, which con-
reefs and banks lying to the south
west of Cape Comorin, or the southern
extremity of India.
The Comet had shipped ten new
men before starting out, and she was
not yet half way down to the islands
when these fellows began to make
trouble. They were all half-castes,
and as appeared later one, members
of a secret band that had sworn
vengeance on anything British. The
survey ship was not exactly under
military discipline, and her comman-
der proved to be rather faint hearted.
The men were punished once or twice,
but not severely enough, and as a re-
suit the islands had only been sighted
when they broke into open mutiny.
The Comet was a brig. and carried
a crew of forty men. There were half
a dozen Americans, English and Ger
mans among them, but when the re-
volt came these few were helpless. 1t
not make the defense he should, and
that his hesitation and tempor1zing
lost him the vessel.
Having got possession of the brig,
the mutineers ran her into Shark bay,
on the northernmost island. The
island was not inhabited, and they re-
NAMED there for two weeks to per-
feet their plans. The captain and
other officers were finally set afoat on
raft unprovided with sail, water or
provisions and no doubt they per-
ished in the storm that swept over the
waters next day.
The brig was well provisioned, and
armed with one six-pounder and
plenty of muskets, and the plan of the
rnutineers was to go on a piratical
cruise. The half dozen white men of
the crew who had refused to join the
mutiny were now given their choice
between death and becoming men,
bers of the crew. and their names
went down on the list.
The leader of the haIf-castes was a
man known as Dondra. He was
sailor by occupation, and probably as
great a ruffian as could be found in
all India When a start was made
from Shark Harbor a course was laid
for Ceylon and during a voyage last
ing four weeks the Comet captured
seven coasting vessels. In each and
every case the crews were put to

In the month of September of the

bound from Liverpool to Bombay,
was making her way up the Malabar
coast under light breezes. One night
in the middle watch it fell a dead calm
and this state of weather continued
al next day and night. At midnight
on the second night the omcer of the
deck heard faint shouting and singing
to the east, and as no vessel had been
sighted in that direction. he was mys-
