and wouldn't succeed to the title and
be obliged TO settle down at Leigh
House, where there wasn't any excite
ment or chsnce to distinguish oneself
Just then Midshipman Leigh's pleas
ant reverie was interrupted by q. bois
ferrous noise.
Show us the bloody lime ULCERS"
was the cry that Leigh heard as he
came up with bluejackets-a hundred
or more of them. He saw with dismay
that they were from the American
ships-of-war.
Here's pretty mess" said he
Midshipman Leigh knew that there
had been an agreement between his
captain and the senior American naval
| officer that British and American sea
men should not be allowed shore lib
erty at the same time. Evidently there
had been a misunderstanding some
where, for that very night several score
OF British bluejackets-"lime-j juicers"
to the Americans-were ENJOYING
themselves in Honolulu. II the two
factions met there was bound to he n
fight, as Leigh well knew. There was
enough of traditional ill.feeling he
tween the men Of her majesty's serv-
ice and those who were employed by
Uncle Sam; and this had been inten-
sified at Honolulu over the belief
among the Americans that the Brit
ish ship had come to put Queen Emma
on the throne. and the supposition Of
the Britishers that Kalakaua oweu his
success to Yankee intimidation.
| The roistering tars were near the
water front row. "Hooray for Dave
Calico! Down with the line -jucers!"
they shouted. From the distance came
an answering shout Of defiance: God
Hsh: Cod-fsh!" They were at Il in a
minute or two. each side eager for the
fray. Leigh was at loss what TO do
He did not care to be mixed up in a
brawl between seamen. bu. he was a
british officer. and perhaps duty de-
manded that he should interfere. He
ran forward undetermined, but salts
fed that the affair was serious. A
glance showed him that the Amphi.
bans men were getting the worst OF
It. Midshipman Leigh forgot that he
was an officer and a gentleman-forgoi
everything except that his men were
being worsted-and rolling up the
] sleeves Of his short uniform Jacket
plunged into the melee.

"BuHy Boy,
Leigh :"
BY Richard v. Oulahan
Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

Midshipman Hon. Gerald Leigh, Of
her majesty's service walked the deck
of the Amphibian with big telescope
under his arm and discomfort in his
heart.
1t was stupid enough to be shut up
on board a man-of-war with nothing
to do except pace backward and for
ward; it was infinitely more SO when
there was plenty of excitement ashore
with a prospect of lively row before
the day was over.
Over there at Honolulu, the king lay
dead, and the mobiles and representa-
tives of the kingdom were sitting in
solemn conclave to select his successor; ;
for the king had left no heir, and had
even failed to take advantage of that
provision of the Hawaiian constitution
which permitted him to name the per-
son who should come after him on the
throne.
There had been talk of an uprising.
Many of the natives had declared
openly that they would never submit
to be governed by any other than the
widowed Queen Emma. And it was
said that the mobiles and representa-
tives were opposed to Emma's success
sion
Just as Midshipman Leigh's. watch
was relieved, boat came off from the
shore with Midshipman Arthur Bailey.
"Oh, Jerry" he cried, as he stepped
aboard, "the old man said was to tell
you that you could have liberty. He
sent me back; said he didn't need me
But l don't care, for nothing's going
to happen. They're as harmless as
guinea pigs"
Midshipman Leigh was over the side
in a jiffy and into the boat that had
brought Bailey off. When the boat
reached the landing he stepped ashore
quickly and started toward the scene
of interest in the town.
Few people were in the streets, but
around the courthouse, where the leg.
islature was sitting, was great crowd
mostly natives.
Walking back to the landing place
that night, he decided that being g
naval officer wasn't such bad thing
