Within half an hour the gig had reached
the mouth of the cave. AS the coxswain
had predicted, the seas ran into the lofty
entrance. Elsewhere the surf fell whitley,
but through the arch the waves rolled I'M
broken into a heavy stiffness. Only as the
boat lowered for moment at the face Of
the cliff could the exploring party hear, far
within, the hollow boom that told of break

order. Keep a sharp lookout for hidden
rocks"
To the whispering plash Of the oars they
moved from sunlight into twilight, from
twilight into darkness. OF sudden the
oars jerked convulsively. A great roar had
broken upon the ears OF the sailors: the
invisible roof above them, the water heav-
ing beneath them, the walls that hemmed
them in, called. with multiplication of
resonance, upon the name of Darrow. The
boat quivered with the start of its occu-
pants. Then one or two laughed weakly
as they realized that what they had heard
was no supernatural voice. 1t was the
captain hailing for the marooned man.
No vocal answer came. But indie

MoRGAN's YACHT SEARCHED.
Customs Authorities at Venice Ran
sack Corsair for Art Treasures

LONDON, July 5.-The Milan correspond
ent of the Chronicle says that a great stir
was caused there by the news that J. Pier
pont Morgans yacht Corsair was recently
overhauled by the customs authorities at
Venice in consequence of special orders
from the central government.
Mr.. Morgan's repeated visits to Italy and
the frequent presence of bis yacht In the
Adriatic and Mediterranean have occasioned
concern on the part Of the Italian govern
ment, which has been more than ordinarily
watchful and disturbed of late owing to the
notable growth of the clandestine export
trade in precious works of art.
1t is said that a search warrant was is
sued in the present case owing to the sup
position that Mr.. Morgan had purchased
part of the famous StroZZi art collection
from that princes Florentine gallery few
weeks ago The customs officers, however,
had to retire discounted, for although. the
baggage AID other property of Mr.. Morgan
and his guests were ransacked and the
yachts departure delayed more than a day,
there was no trace whatever of the missing
treasures.

that its occupants could even see butter

hopelessly. Looks as If the cave might

"And the murder of the captain. How

surgeon.

The success OF the smelter, which Is still

speaker in concluding said:

Astronomers long since came to the conclusion that the moons surface Is very hot during the height of the lunar dav. which, as will be remembered, lasts two weeks, and very cold during the lunar night, which is equally long These extremes of temperature reach their height at the lunar noon and midnight and are greater than any natural temperatures on the earth,
