City Attorney Hommann's opinion
in connection with the ferry fran
chise may open serious complications
of the Board of Aldermen refuse the
request of the Perth Amboy and Stat
en- Island Ferry Company. If the
city has no legal right to grant a
franchise to the new ferry company
then it had no legal right to grant \
franchise to the Staten Island Rapid
Transit at the foot of Smith street,
and should the new company be
turned down it would make trouble
not only for the Rapid Transit but
would give the city and public gener-
ally much annoyance.
Mr.. Hommann says he made the
same statement when the Rapid
Transit franchise was being consid
cred. 1t is declared that the appli~
cant professed to be willing to take
the risk of the councils right in the
matter provided the desired fran
chise was granted. 1t is probable
that the new company is willing to
take the same risk.
Upon such an important matter
however, there should be no risk
either to the city or the party secur-
ing the franchise. As the new COM
pany does not intend to have the
ferry in operation for two years yet,

Mr. cARLInE FELL FORWARD LIKE A LOG

an agitated voice, as he saw poor Jack stretch
ed out at full length on deck.
Never you mind, sternly replied Murray
pointing cooked revolver at his head. "Hep
Charley, there, put him into the boat Now
stand by the boat falls, Charley, cut the young
fellows wrist lashngs, take the mufAer off
his face, and"
Give it to me-" he was about to add,
when the startling apparition of Sim, the
steward, appeared through the after compan-
ionway.
"Look a-heah, now!" shouted that undaunt-
ed individual, taking in the situation at a
glance ''dis chile has somethin' to say about
desc yere goin' 's-on!'
And, with infinitely more courage than judg-
ment, lowering his woolly Uranium, Sim liter
ally plunged head first into the fray.
The terrified Dolph, having obeyed the first
part of Murrays fierce command, stood trem-
blingly holding the one turn of each foot
fall in either hand, waiting for the order to
lower.
The Spaniard, who had cut Jacks wrist
lashings was eagerly unwinding the coveted
shawl, which he meant to thrust into his
shirt bosom, and then aver that in the con
fusion it had fallen overheard. But before
he had it fairly in his grasp, the steward s
woolly head struck him full in the stomach
with the force of cannon ball; the vessel
heeling over in a sudden strong puff of wind
at the same moment, Charley was thus sent
with violent shock against Dolph, who, with
bewildered exclamation, dropped the boat
falls, and fell heavily against Bob Murray.

hand on the spokes of the wheel, shouted
down the open companionway:
"Mr Carline! Mr.. Carline! Come on deck!
Quick"
Like most seafaring men, Mr. Carline was
a light sleeper He sprang from the sofa
where he had been lying, half dressed, and,
with bound, had reached the upper COM
panionway step, when Bob struck him stun
ming blow from behind, directly on the back
of his neck, at the base of his skull.
Throwing up his hands, Mr.. Carline fell for
ward like log, and in less than moment

The lifeboat- which, in fine weather. always
hung at the cranes-was quickly lowered to a
level with the rail.
EVERYTHING is in. Now, then, Charley, :"
muttered Bob
And, raising Mr.. Carline, they laid him in
the bottom of the boat.
"The young fellow next"
And they were about to lift him from the
deck, when the bewildered face and tangled
head of Dolph-who, by the way, did not ex-
hibit as much surprise as might have been
supposed appeared at the open forescuttle.
''You haf not kill him." he exclaimed, in
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08

lulled by the peacefulness of the night into
something very much like a waking slumber,
Jack-who had seated himself on the edge of
the companionway hatch-became, for a brief
moment, drowsily unconscious Of everything
about him. Spanish Charley, at the helm, ut
tered low "s.s-s-t" through his teeth, at the
same time becketing the wheel and drawing
the shawl from his shirt bosom, Bob came
stealing aft from the lookout, in his stocking
feet.
A signal from the latter, and suddenly poor
Jacks head and shoulders were enveloped in
folds of some sitting texture, which was
drawn so tightly about his mouth and nostrils
that he could hardly breathe, much less cry
out At the same instant his hands were
brought behind him and deftly secured with
spun yarn, and his ankles being lashed to-
gether, he was laid snugly away under the
bulwarks, half suffocated and entirely help
less.
"Hes all right muttered Bob Murray,
drawing long breath. "Now, then, for the

Taking his stand little behind the COM
panionway hatch, Bob drew curious instru-
ment from his pocket.
1t was a flexible whaebone rod, about a
foot long, at the end of which was a bali OF
lead, rather larger than an English walnut,
covered with sort of twine netting
"Now," he whispered with nervous inten-
sity, for Mr.. Carline,s strength and courage
were well known, and single "slip up," as
he mentally expressed it, would ruin all.
With compressed lips, he crouched low in

in earnest
but poor Sim was quickly overpowered and
bound, Dolph sent to the wheel, and Mickey
Fox summoned from below.

But there was no help for it either way;
SO, rather soemnly, Mickey obliged 10
accept the situation; secretly resolving to run
away at the first opportunity, especially if
there should seem to be any danger of the two
leaders failing in their purpose of selling the
vessel; and of his sharing the purchase money.
Where's that shawl Charley asked Bob,
after matters had become little settled; and:
having examined the chart carefully, he had
changed the schooner's course to correspond
with his half formed plans
Sure enough, where was it? The last that
the Spaniard remembered was of having one
end of it in his hand, but any remaining
knowledge concerning the matter had been
completely knocked out of him so to speak,
by the stewards head.

groan as he walked to the rail where the

very white. 'Why. man, it was worth hun

And he walked up and down the deck, in
maledictlons upon the stewards head that so
valuable prize should have escaped his
grasp.
Still, it was too late for useless regrets, and
it would hardly pay to go in search of the
boat. now that Jack and Mr.. Carline were at
ssions. in his evil mind, Bob Murray tried to
dismiss the matter, telling himself that the
shawl was probably dropped overheard in the
confusion. But he knew in reality that the
chances were far more in favor of it's having
been left in the boat And AS the "marked

in some distant port, before the facts of her
seizure should be known.
Dolph and Mick would be readily enough
silenced. Old sailors seldom refuse money,
and as for Sim. the steward, lie could easily
be taken care of.
1t may seem desperate project, yet far
more desperate ones of the same nature have
succeeded
