smoke pouring from her tunnels, AMI
hundreds of people We're lining the
stone entertainments of the Botanical
Gardens, watching her movements.
Pulling into the Circular Quay he set
Mss DeniSon on shore, and almost as
soon as she landed she heard numbers
of the newsboys crying out a special
sheet Of the morning paper:
1 PIRACY IN SYDNEY HARBORi"
She bought a copy and, hurriedly en-
tering the custom house, sat upon a
bench in the hall, and began to read.
1t was headed in large letters:
DARING ACT OF PIRACY"
and was as follows
This morning at daylight il was no
ticed that the steamer Warrigdl, which
had been lying in MoSSrnan's Bay, was
missing, and some surprise was felt,
as her owner. Mr.. Tobias PattermOre,
had, owing TO an accident To her ma
chinery, delayed her departure for Fiji
for two days.
''MOssman's Bay. as our readers are
aware, is very quiet spot, and there
are only one or two houses within a
radius of some miles. IN the bay itself
are two hulks, one used as coal
barge and the other for storing kerO-
sene; no one usually lived on either,
but occasionally a man sleeps on the
latter vessel when IL holds cargo.
Last night, however, there was no one
on board. nor had there beer for some
weeks.
AT a. m. some Greek fishermen
entered the bay in their boat, and as
they passed the kerosene hulk they
heard the sound of violent hammering
within the hold. and, they fancied, also
voices. On going on board they found
the matches were on, but the tarpaulin
aside. Lifting off one hatch. they made
the astonishing discovery thar four
men were imprisoned belO y: they were
the chief officer (Mr. Watts, second
steward Guy, and two A. BIS of the
Warrigal
Their story is an astounding one.
The WarrigaI is generally known as
one Of the fastest, or the fastest,
steamers in Australian waters, and Is
almost new. Some months ago she
was purchased by Mr.. PatterTnore, and,
after being thoroughly Overhauled,
loaded q valuable general cargo for
Levuka on behalf of her owner, who
has there just established q large trad
ing business.
Yesterday the steamer made a sat-
isfactOry trial trip. but on returning to
port something went wrong with her
machinery, and the chief engineer (Mr.
Clancy, finding upon examination that
1t was more serious than he at first
ina gined, the steamer went into Moss
mans Bay, where she anchored.
Captain Toll went on shore to sleep
at his house, and before leaving the
vessel also gave liberty to the second
officer and several of the crew to re-
main on shore for the night, as the
WarTigal was lying in a perfectly safe
and sheltered position. and there was
no need for her full crew to stay on
board.

sOuthWssteTs ever experienced set in
early in the evenin, and lasted for an
unprecedented time and Mr.. Watts.

both showing traces of recent tears.
What has happened TO the youns
gentleman, madam he asked respect
fully.
"Sit down. please. and I will tell
YOU" and Miss DeniSOn took a letter
from her pocket and said, speaking
very quietly, although the poor lady's
voice trembled somewhat:
As my nephew had not returned at
II O'Clock, I concluded he had decided
to stay in Sydney for the night, on ac-
count of it's being so windy There IS
always a bed for him at his friends,
Captain Herrera's house; so my niece

in the hal1 in case he did return
later on.
''Soon after 3 o'clock this morning
someone tapped loudly at the front
door and awakened the housekeeper.
He said he was a fisherman and had a
letter for me that was to be delivered
Immediately. Then without waiting to
see me he went away. Now let me
read the letter"
She read it slowly and distinctly. and
when she uttered the words Your
very obedient servant, James Christie"
the ha1f-caste started
James Christie, MADAME"
Yes, James Christie. Do you know
the person."
Very well. indeed, madam. I was
bOatswain with him for two voyages
about four years ago in a South Sea
trading baTque named the Petite
Jeanne. But I left her at Levuka, in
Fiji, and have never heard anything
of him since"
"Then my nephew is with him on
the Petite Jeanne ?"
mo, madam, the Petite Jeanne, I
know, was wrecked on Tahiti soon
after 1 left her in Fiji"
Miss DenisOn's tears began to- fall
waist. In few moments, however,
her aunt recovered her composure and
turned to the sympathetic half-caste.
Il cannot help crying, but l must col
lect my thoughts No doubt we shall
learn the name of the vessel which has
taken away nay nephew. But 1 am
anxious TO learn something about this
man Christie. Do you think he will
really do as he says-treat my nephew
kindly"
Il am sure. madam" was the en-
phatic reply, Whatever he promises
to do he will do. If he told "a man he
would punish him. he would punish him
very, very severely; if he said he would
let matter pass, he would not break
his word"
That IS consoling to me. Now this

Let me take you over in my dinghy,
madam. l can land you at Circular
Quay two hours sooner than if you
went by road to St. LeOnard's."
Her anxiety to learn all she could as
quickly as possible overcame her fear
of crossing the haTboF in a small boat.
and half an hour later she was seated

When the Southwestern which blew
Tom out to sea burst upon the north
ern shores Of the harbor and filled the
air with dust and flying leaves and
twigs torn from the iron bark and gum
trees, neither Miss Denison nor her
niece had felt any apprehension as to
his safety. for in the sheltered po-
sition of Crows Nest they had but a
faint idea of the fury of the wind. But

of the surf upon the southern head of

away.
1T must be very bad out in tho open,
when such a sea is breaking in this
sheltered spot" he long afterwards
told Tom he had said to himself;
there's not much of show for a
small boat in a blow like this" And
for many hours he kept a lookout: and

the southerly had spent itself. and

synopsis of Installments I to III
Tom Denison and his sister Sable are
left IN charge of their Aunt Christina,
owing TO the death of their father and
mother at the hands of bushrangers in
tasmania Aunt Christina is woman
who has lived ali her life in the
cramped environment Of an English
country village, and has very little
idea as to the mana cement Of boys.
Tom is a spirited lad, but kindly with
al, who has made uD his mind TO
life at sea, in which determination he
has been encouraged by an old sea
captain, for attending whose deathbed
Tom has got into severe trouble with
his aunt A kindly clergyman, Canon
Cooper, reconciles the pair, and per-
suades Aunt Christina to try more
lenient methods with the lad. There
is not much time allowed for the ex-
ercise of this better understanding,
however. for on returning from town
in his boat Tom is blown out of the
harbOr and is picked up by a strange
steamer about whose movements there
is an air Of the greatest mystery.

Tom threw away his hand contemp-
tuOusIy, and then turned upon the big
man, his eyes blazing with anger.
why could you not let me go on
shore, either in my own or the fish

The Irishman, with blazing eyes, let

Christie gripped him by both wrists
and forced him back to the port side of

Don't you dare to raise your hand
to the boy, Terence Clancy. If you
do I'll pound you into a pulp, old
mates as we are. Man. you forget
yourself"
Did We hear what he said about the
chain gangs and Tasmania" said
Clancy, fiercely-
Il did. And I thought of what you
did not know-that his father was al
ways a good friend to any of the pris-
oners from the ould soil"
Then God forgive me-" said Clancy,
and he came up to Tom with out
stretched hand.

scoundrels, and if you think you are

Christie could not suppress a start
of astOnishment at the word haze "

roughness. Il told you that you would

''I won't take breakfast in your cab

lenly. as he turned away.
Christie made no answer. He turned
aside to the starbOard rail of the
bridge, and, leaning over it, gazed
modify down into the swaying curves
abreast Of the SPONSOR.
What is the matter, Jim?' said
Clancy, after a few minutes.

Newspaper Subscription Laws.

! Few readers or publishers Of papers
fully or clearly understand the laws
governing subscriptions. The decisions
Of the United States Court on this sub
ject are:
1.-Subscribers who do not give e1-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their SUBJ
scriptions.
All subscribers order the discon-
tiuuance Of their petiodical, the pub
Usher may continue to send them until
arrearages are paid.
ST subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
AT subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher
and the papeLis sent to the former ad.
dress, they are held responsible.
5.-The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
Office, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for is prima facie evidence OF
intentional fraud. Il;
eff subscribers pay In advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end Of the time il they do not wish to
continue taking it, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorised to send it, and the
subscriber will be responsible until ex-
press notice with payment Of all ar
rearages, is sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes q paper and
refuses tie pay for it. Under this law
the man who Allowshis subscription to
run along for some time unpaid, and
then orders it marked "refused" and
have postcard sent notifying the pub
