CHAPTER Xxx

The burning arrows had been d.
version. as the books on tactics say,
to draw the attention of lie little
band of defenders and occupy it COM
pletely on the downstream side,
while another attacking party crept up
under cover of darkness and boarded
from above. But for the fact that tho
willy old general, fearing the trick,
had kept a guard stationed at that
side, the ruse might have succeeded
perfectly. The boat, as we have seen,
was swung diagonally across sort If
channel, her nose and stern being i'm
be ded in sand-banks. The Chinese
coming down stream in three rowboats
struck her at either end and near the
middle, their evident intention being
to spread the Russians out as mucn
as possible,
At this moment a frayed and worn
old moon floated up out of the Siber-
ian forest, Hardy saw, by its light, a
wide expanse of water dinly shining
between ghostly forests; he saw sever
al Mongolian heads, covered with
round black caps, looking over the
side of the boat, he saw Julius Smuld-
ers ewRirl a heavy oak pole in the air
nd0loring it down on one of these
heads with terrific force; he saw one
of the Bouriats cleave another head so
completely that one-half stood erect
for second while the other fell over
the victims shoulder, as the Bouriat
wrenched at his sword, which was i'm
bedded in the rail; he saw a gigantic
Manchurian, witt long two-handsd
sword. leap aboard, to be thrust
through by a bayonet lunge just as
his feet struck the deck.
>All this the American took in with
one glance of the eye, just as the
moon rose above the woods.
There were four of the crew, be-
:..ass the captain, all armed with rifles
to which bayonets had been affixed
by the generals, order. Add to these
Smulders, the general himself. Hardy
and three Bouriats, and the defending
party consisted Of eleven members
Brave Stenka Pugacheff, Of the crew
had gone down the river for help, and
the attack had been delivered SO sud
denly that there was no time to call
Romanoff, who was sleeping below.
Indeed. it is doubtful if, at that mo-
ment of extreme excitement, anybody
thought Of him.
The Chinese we're receiving MUIR
derous and unlooked-for reception, but
they were not to We easily beaten off.
Several Of them gained the deck and
began to swing their clumsy, two

cents from the government for each
day that Cassie spends in the Buckeye
prison.
She is still there despite the recent
report that she had been taken across
the Ohio river.
An interesting fact brought out on
the Bertillon record of Cassie was the
whereabouts Of her birth. which was
In mid-ocean. She is forty-eight years
of age, weighs $50 pounds, is medium
heavy build and gives her occupations
as domestic. 81

standing with his back against the
