CHAPTER TX.
MUTINY.


Patrick Cambel came out OF the
charthouse with all the armament he
could lay hands upon-to-wit three re-
volvers. He gave one to the captain
und put the others IN his own Jacket
pocket, so that tney had brace apiece.
From the other side Of the bridge deck
the ciamor OF the men rose high into
the night, and the steamers fore truck
began to swing past tho stars. Her
engines had stopped, the quartermaster
had deserted tho wheel, and the gulf
stream was taking her as simple flot-
sam whittier it listed.
There was no starboard ladder to the
upper bridge, but Kettle swung him
self lightly up oy a funnel stay and a
staunchion and climbed over the cam
vas dodger. Cambcl followed as nim-
bly,. The mate of the watch received
them with frightened sidelong glance
but no words, and then he vanished
into the darkness
Captain owen Kettle stumped cheer
fully across to the port side of the
bridge and looked down. Beneath him,
massed and moving. was apparently
every man of his crew, The electric
lamp from inside the head Of the COM
banionway blazed full upon them, daz-
zling some Df the group and binding
the others with dense black shadow,
With folded arms he looked down on
them for a full minute with q silent
sneering laugh till the upturned faces
which mad been Qliet in expectation
began to grow clamorous again. Their
he waved them to noiselessness and
spoke.
The mans words were not concilia-
tory. He addressed his hearers as dogs
and wished to know In the Eame OF
the pit why they had dared to leave
their duties and their kennel and come
to sully his bridge deck. The harangue
was brief and beautifully to the point.
An ordinary seaman stood out into the
middle of the circle OF light and made
reply.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
M. de Lobel promises that we shall have
trains running through from New York
to Paris within five years. The highest
summit level. instead of 5000 feet will be
scarcely more than 2,400 II the proposed
new Grand Trunk Trans-C Canadian route is
made a part of the system. In Denver.
Colo, however, a number of capitalists
have raised some $50,000000 for the purpose
of building railway along the coast from
Seattle to Skagway; they propose to har-
ness the tides that rush into the various
inlets with waves thirty feet high, and
make electricity the motive power. Across
the plains of upper Alaska this becomes

ready to blossom with every kind OF fruit.

The machine was headed for the
Williamsburg bank, The bank paid
off every claim up to the hour OF
closing and the funds being hurried
that way were not needed.
The sight of the greenbacks started
a rush of hundreds to the spot, and
when Mr.. Roth announced that the
machine carried $1,000,000 the four
policemen on duty at the ferry rushed
in to protect the treasure. A fire boat
was moored near by, and the firemen
aided in the protection.
In 20 minutes the chauffeur had the
machine so repaired that he could
move on. But Manager Roth, seeing
that it would be impossible to reach
Williamsburg before the closing hour,
turned the car around and took the
money back to Wall street.

Naval Battle at vIadivostok.

VladivoStok-An exciting little
naval battle took place in this har.
Dor Oct. 80 between the mutinous crew
OF a Russian torpedo boat destroyer
and their loyal comrades. The mutin
eers were subdued, but not before a
number of men had been killed OF
wounded.
The mutinous boat is the Skory
and she gave fight to the gunboat
Handschur, the destroyers Czarsovos
Smelly and Serditz and the garrison
in one Of the harbor forts manned by
the 18th regiment of artillery.
The Skory was soon overwhelmed
and she had to be beached to save hel
from sinking.
This was not accomplished how
ever, before her guns had done con
siderable damage and several Off
GERS and men of the other ships hau
been killed or wounded.
The crew of the Skory were incitet
by agitators, including some Jews
who had managed to get on board anC
steamed out into the harbor with the
red flag flying and at once opened fire
on the town and forts.
The gunboat and three destroyers
went out to engage her, and, will
the aid of the forts, soon had the
Skory riddled and helpless. She then
turned and ran through the surf and
was beached. Those members of the
crew who had not been killed or
wounded by the gunire were arrested
by soldiers as they made their way tc
land.
Among the men killed are Capt
Kurosch, commander of the torpedo
boat Ravy, and Lieut.. Stoer, com
mander of the Skory. Lieut. Vassiliel
commanding the Serditz, was wound

Sentiment For Currency Change.

on Wednesday conferred with various
representatives of the cotton, sugar,
grain, lumber and other large indus
tries, with view of facilitating now
ments that will effect a substantial
easing of the general financial situa-
tion, and is much encouraged by the
results of his efforts.
In the past week the secretary has
conferred in New York and in Wash

most powerful factors in the business
affairs of America, not only as to the
conditions which Immediately con-
fronted them, but as to the remedies
to be applied to avert such situations
in the future.
A disposition has been manifest
among financial and industrial inter

national legislation as will simplify
business requirements, render more
elastic the currency system of the
country, safeguard the rights and in
terests of the people by affording am.
pie assurances Of safety to investors
and incidentally preserve all elements
of reasonable regulation and publicity.
1t may be said to be the purpose of

the country and to lend support to
such means and measures as will in
his judgment contribute to the securi-

Fifteen Hundred Buried Alive.

Tashkind, Russian Turkestan-The
little town of Karatagh, in the His
sar district of Bokhere, has been over
whelmed and obliterated by land
slide that followed the earthquake OF
Oct. 81. According to the latest re
ports of the disaster, majority of tn
inhabitants of Karatagh lost their
lives.
The first reports of the casualties
were exaggerated, the death list be
ing placed as high as $4,000. Karatagh
has about $500 inhabitants, and there
is reason to believe that about 1906
were buried alive. Among those who
survived the disaster are the governor
of Karatagh and his mother.
Karatagh is remotely situated, and
it takes a full week for news to get
out from there, but according to one
courier who has come through, an
enormous section of the Karatagn
mountain, which practically hung over
the town, broke loose and thundered
down upon the village, almost all of
which is buried from sight.
Efforts are being made to get In
communication with the survivors and
learn the actual state of affairs, and
to send in such relief as may be re
Ouired.
