that he had crawled back
to his compatriot's grave and died
upon it. mis- remains were later found
in: that position by Lieutenant Strain.
The following day Lombard asked to
be LETT behind, as it was clear he could
go no farthsr. They shared their
remnants of food with him and left
him to<his fate. What this may have
been was never discovered. At his
earnest request his boatswain's whis-
tie was left with him. The next day

came very ill and the emaciated band

that four or five men would have to
be abandoned the next day and that
not more than two or three could hope
to reach Caledonia bay, II any one
ever did. :
Knew 2 ate Was Sealed. 49,.
Truxton, Boggs. and Harwood, all
young men, knew that their fate was
sealed. Hunger and toll had reduced
them to mere bundles of rags and
bones. Harrison and Vermilyea were
little better; that evening Maury stood
by the gloomy river. All were wrapped
In the darkest despair. Suddenly
Maury shouted, '"Fruxton, hear q
gun; I see white men; ! see Strain. -
No words can describe the del171ous
excitement that brought the despair
Ing, dying men to their feet as do

Day after day the lion hearted
Strain and his comrades had pushed
their way through fearful obstacles,

Don't stand there talking about it,

he intended it only as a threat.

haunting response. :

and he took the man by the shoulder.

There spoke the new policeman who
makes work for himself; the older
ones are never so foolish.

liceman, as he frightened his grip on

"Oh, I'll go along all right" an
swered the man. II was thinking Of
dropping in on the sergeant anyway,
and we'll just go together. l haven't

Policeman Flynn hesitated. Men
who want to see the sergeant are a
rarity, and there is always chance
that they have some "inf1oo'nce at
headquarters.

But l WON'T asserted the man.

- Nevertheless, he wasn't exactly sat
isfied. The prisoner was too willing,
and it Is extremely disconcerting to
have charge of man who wants to be
arrested. A man in the strong grasp
of the law ought to hold back and
change his tone. 1t began to- dawn on
Policeman Flynn before they had gone
a block that perhaps the man. was not
"blufing'' after all. So he stopped
short, and released him. 14t.-

well gave out, the latter begging to
be left behind. The men did not take
care of their rations, the Grenadians
had thrown away theirs and there was
but one days supply remaining. The
officers had some food left; and this
was divided among the party. Once
more the march was resumed, the
men struggling YEARLY through the
hills and dense forests.
Reluctantly Strain gave the order to
return to the river he had left and
there the first and last council of the
party was held. The conclusion was
reached that they were on the Lyle
sias, set down by Osborne as a branch
of the Savanna. There was no trail
through the Wilderness: three of the
men and one of the Grenadians were
utterly worn out. A few plantains
were found and divided. Eight birds
were shot, among them an owl and a
woodpecker, and some small fish were
caught by Mr.. Truxton. An iguana
was shot and In vainly trying to re-
cover 1t from the river, Holmes lost
his boot, which later on caused his
death.
On the thirteenth day the New Gren-
adams gave up in despair, although
the work had all been done by the
Americana. Lombard, the boatswain
of the party, became very i'll. The
clothes and boots of the men were
torn to shreds and at night nothing
was heard but agonized groans. Boils
began to appear on the men and each
was found to contain worm of the
woods" some of them an inch in
length. On the sixteenth day an acid
nut MAS discovered. hut it destroyed
the enamel of the teeth and the diges-
tive powers as we'll. Some turkeys
were shot and the stage was reached
where even the buzzards and cranes
were welcomed as food.
On the eighteenth day they had a
great misfortune. Truxton only was
intrusted witt" the sole f1shhook. He
gave it to Castillo, who turned it over
to one Of. the men. who broke it.
Strain said nothing beyond pointing
out the probable result. 1t cost many
lives, as the Chuquanaqua, when

n 1t was when Policeman Barney
Flynn was new man on eth foorce"
that he lost prisoner, and he frank
sly admitted afterwards that he "niver
rsh'u'd ha-ave found him in tn first
place. In other words, experience
taught him that the arrest was not
justified, but the new policeman in
variably is jealous of his authority and
MS dignity. So, when he had told the
man to move on and the man had re-
torted by making various sarcastic and
otherwise Objectionable remarks, Po-
hceman Flynn deemed it necessary for

position to assert himself -

strayed from the dark stream and was
soon lost in the Jungle Despair set

the ragged, torn, starving men were
forced to abandon him to his fate. He
screamed in anguish, but there was

the march WAS resumed. The Gre
nadians rejoined the next day: they
had built small craft, but it was
soon wrecked. The day after Strain
took three men to push their way
rapidly down the river and secure aid
for the rest of the party, leaving Mr..
Truxton in command. Avery. a vol
unteer. and Golden and Wilson of the
Cyanne, volunteered to accompany
him.
After many parting councils Strain
sadly left the main body on February
Is. Occasionally bird or an iguana
was shot and furnished modicum OF
food for the famished men. Lombard,
Harrison and Castillo failed entirely
on the twenty-eighth day. Holmes,
who had lost his boot, had wounded
foot that was becoming gangrenous.
Some buzzards, turkey and a pee
cary were shot, but there was no
marching until the thirty-seventh day
and then only for half a mile.
Lombard, Parks and johnson left
the camp and hid. In their terrible
sutferings they had matured a plan to
hide until Holmes died, exhume the
body and subsist upon the flesh until
they reached the Atlantic coast On
the >thirty-eighth day Holmes breathed
his last and his emaciated body, with
his musket alongside, was laid to rest

Decided to Go Back.
Lieutenant Strain was now twenty
one days gone. and 1t was evident that
the sixteen survivors would not live
for his return. They believed he was
dead and a council of the officers de-
cided to countermarch and try to re-.
gain Caledonia bay: At cost A. severe
struggle to reach this conclusion, bnt
it seemed the only hope. Truxton,
seated by Holmes grave, sadly penned
a letter of explanation to Strain,
should the .latter ever regain the
place, and in it he begged him to push
on after the party. Then Parks was
missing and on March s q start. was
made on the, march to Caledonia bay,
the former being abandoned to his
fate. Both Grenadians were very i'll,
but some of the seamen threw away
their arms to assist them along. All

ARREST OF AN INDIAN
 WHO STOLE A HORSE
Officers Have Been Looking for Him
 Just Year.

A year ago this month a son Ot Jim Morrell rode one of his horses to town one evening with a good saddle and bridle. The horse was hitched on First street and the boy went into restau- rant for supper When he returned the whoe outfit was missing and noth- ing had ever been heard of any part of it up to yesterday. Upon missing his horse and saddle MT. Morren at once notified the authorities and the ease was placed in the hands of Con stable Harry Troops.
 MT. Troops had reason tC suspect that an Indian was concerned in the theft and since the night the horse was stolen he has been working, together with an Indian policeman named Buck, for the recovery of the horse and outfit His efforts have at last been rewarded with success for the Indian policeman. though possibly somewhat slow has been working hard on the case and at last landed his man. Not ony did he locate the Indian that did the stealing but he has also recovered the horse and saddle. All that is now missing is the bride and blanket. but they are prob ably worn out by this time The In- dian charged with the theft is named William. He was arrested by Buck and brought to town yesterday with the saddle. The saddle was practically new when it was stolen but il now shows signs of hard usage
 The authorities had little hope of ever securing the horse but later in the day Policeman Buck learned from his pris- oper that the animal was i'll a pasture
