HUNTED BY SHARKS.
AN EXCITING TALE OF THE
 PACIFIC OCEAN.
Schooner Sinks Beneath tho Waves Adrift in Small Boat-Shadcwed by Sharks-Papeete Har-
 bor Attained.

Breakers ahead!" The cry rose from the drenched figure of the forward watch.
 It was the late autumn two years ago. Borne by the storm, the schooner Victor was fast being driven towards an island that loomed large behind 8 foaming belt of breakers. On the bridge stood Capt. Roslyn, pale and powerlesi to save his ship.
 At last the schooner struck. An in. stant Capt. NRoslyn hesitated, then, feel ing the ship was lost, he ordered the men to the boat.
 As the schooner sank beneath the waves, Capt. Roslyn decided that the only chance of safety lay in steering for Papeete, the port of Tahiti.
 Many miles of ocean would have to be traversed before they reached their destination. Capt. Roslyn, realizing this, took possession of the scant pro. vision on board-a small keg of water. few biscuits. and half dozen cocoa. nuts. At midday he served out the daily allowance-scarcely equal to one ordinary meal.
 Thus five days passed. In that time a change had come on all faces. Worn

The result was that he came straight away in a state bordering on frenzy and has re- mained in the same state, kneeling at the end of her bed, until this morning death put an end to her sufferings. That is all, MT. Holmes, and I am sure that can rely upon your discre- tion and that of your friend"
 Holmes grasped the doctors hand.

 THE ADVENTURE OF THE GRANGE" NEXT.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-06-19

LASTED AT THEIR BLUNT HEADS, with long hours at the oars, sleeping little because of their discomforts. the men had become haggard. And to make matters worse, the water supply was exhausted.
 The storm by now had spent its fury. But new terror was in store for the shipwrecked sailors. Three days be- fore they had seen the long fin of a monster shark moving quickly through the water. All through the morning the creature followed. sometimes cir cling rapidly round the little boat, at other times swimming close behind.
 On the next day two sharks appeared and so, day by day. their numbers were increased, until all around the little boat the water was lashed by a great horde of hungry sharks.
 Impatient for their prey. the sharks speedily became bolder At first the men were able to keep them at dis tance by merely splashing their oars; but this soon lost its terrors.
 And then began many fierce battles between the shipwrecked crew and the sharks. Reducing the rowers to one half, Capt. Roslyn ordered the others to stand ready with their oars to re- Sist the fierce fishes attacks.
 At times the struggle became desper- ate. A score of dark fins would dash through the water. endeavoring to up- set the boat Shouting loudly. the sail DTS on guard dashed and jabbed at their blunt heads. Oars were splintered in the fray. but the sharks were baked.
 Dawn each day heralded the renewal of the struggle
 On the tenth day Papeete was sight ed. As if knowing that their prey was drawing fast to safety. the sharks tried to capsize the boat. Five times the lit- tie craft was lifted from the sea, but each time kept her keel
 Filled with new hope al the sight of houses in the distance. the men fought furiously. whilst those at the oars pulled harder. forgetful of their scared hands and blistered backs.
 Early the next day a small boat crept into Papette harbor. whilst out to sea large school of sharks suIlenly ploughed their way. bafied and hungry.

No man need be ashamed of such a wife But Godfrey was the heir 10 this grabbed old nobIeman. and it was quite certain that the news of his marriage would have been the end of his inheritance. I knew the lad well. and loved him for his many excellent qualities. We did our very best to keep the thing from every one. for when once such a whisper gets about it is not long before every one has heard it Thanks to this lonely cottage and his own discretion. Godfrey has up to now succeeded.

SIGNS OF DIVIDED HOUSE.
Republicans of Different Minds ON
the Tariff Are Pulling Against
Each Other.

The denunciation of the republican
tariff reform meeting at Chicago by
the stand-patters, who declare that
'the movement is a to the pro-
tective tariff system and should be rec
ognized as such by all interests which
adhere to the Dingley schedules"
bodies division and trouble in the re-
publican camp. The call for a modi-
fication of the exorbitant tariff sched-
ules is widespread in republican
states. The Iowa idea" which exists
in the northwestern states, that the
tariff fosters trusts is amplified in
Massachusetts, and Maine by a de-
mand for free hides, free coal and
free raw materials generally, and for
an enlarged Canadian market. The
stand-patters declare the sacred tariff
must not be touched and denounce fair
discussion. Will the republican
house, divided as it is on this impor-
tant economic question that affects the
pockets of every voter. be able to stand
the strain and stress Of a public dis
cussion of the question?
