A marine disaster occurred at the
float Of the Augusta Yacht Club Mon
day night when the speed launch OF
George lockwood filled and sunk at her
moorings. The boat did not go 10 the
bottom but with the exception of her
storm hood she was submerged. Yes
tcrday morning she was raised and the
water pumped out of her and after the
damage done to the engine and fittings
is remedied she will be all right. 1t Is
not known what caused the boat to fill
but it Is supposed that at low water
her sl1cg caught on a big rock which
was left just north of the steamboat
wharf last season when the drcdge was
at work on the channel of the river
and that when the water went lower
she listed enough to fill.

But I'm the one that's got the advantage,
and | mean to do all l can to Aeep it. Now
let's no back to Dory, for since I've got to
stand watch alone tomorrow night, want to
get what sleep can before you CO."
AS they passed the burros on their way back
Bart assured himself that they we're safe for
the night, and then he gathered more brush
wood, for it was his intention to keep two
fires going until morning. One was to be
placed near the prisoner, so that it would be
easy to see any one who might attempt to
creep up to him, and the other near that end
of the barricade that led to the mouth of
the pass, in order that no one could get in
without crossing the rays of light
It was nearly time for the sun to set, and
Bart called to those on the cliff to show them
selves, that he might know exactly where they
were before darkness came.
Were both here" shouted Dick, "and are
going to start fire, so that you can tell with
out any extra trouble when we've located our
claim"
eI suppose you are both there; but 1 want
to see YOU walking around, so that there won't
be any mistake about it."
Bart was not satisfied until the men had
shown themselves together, and had also NOV
ed about; for he knew how easily the figure
of a man at that height could be made to re.
semble human being.
After this review he examined his prisoner
being careful to see that he was not where
he might cut his bonds by chafing them
against a sharp rock, and then he brought in
all the ammunition that had been sent down
to him.
"It isn't likely that they've given up every.
thing they had; but we'll take this much with

SHELDON'S MINE
KIRK

Kirk hadn't the slightest idea what the guide
could want. to show him; but the events of the
past few days had taught him to have the
most implicit confidence in Bart, and he fol-
lowed him without question.
Walking boldly through the ravine, they
said:
Il want you to tell me if you think you could
lead the way from here to the valley"
Yes I'm sure | could /" replied Kirk "Its
almost an open path from here to that dead
oak, and then, by turning to the right, it looks
as II 1T would be easy travelling to that big
boulder. That must be half way down. But
why is it necessary for me"
do you see what looks like a hill way off on
the plain there~ interrupted Bart.
eyes"
"Wel, that is where you must camp the
second night after leaving here. By tomorrow
night you will be in the valley, and Just to
the right of straight line from here is a
stream that@w will supply you with water. Make
an early start from there the next morning,
and do not stop until you are on that which
looks like hill. 1t is nothing more than a
big nile of boulders, with feeding-places for
the donkeys here and there on it. At the
very top you will find fissure that will serve
as camp, and in it I've kept off crowd of
Indians singlehanded, until 1 was so thirsty
that took my chances of being killed or made
prisoner by sneaking off in the night. Let the
burros feed anywhere around there, but put all
your traps into the cave"
"But why do you talk to me about doing this
or that, when you will be there to see e
done" asked Kirk, in surprise, speaking as
soon as his companonswould permit

u.s. at all events. They can't have great deal
more"
"But I thought you promised to let them
have it again" said Dory, in surprise.
81 promised to let them have their fire
arms; but intended to keep-this portion Of
their outfit. Now one of you light the fires
and keep them going till you call me about
three o'clock. Of course, you must take turns
standing guard, to keep the fires burning, and
to look out for our particular friend here; but
there's no possibility that either one of those
fellows can get down before morning, even if
he should start now, which is not at all like
ly. It's no fool of job to come from there
in the daytime and at night man would
stand good chance Of breaking his neck"
As he ceased speaking, Bart rolled himself
up in his blanket, and lay down on the ground
as composedly as if he were getting into bed in
some place Of safety, falling asleep almost as
soon as he did so.
The fires were lighted, and both the boys
being too much excited to go to bed lust
then, they remained ON watch together, Kirk
telling his cousin what Bart's plan was for the
morrow.
Then, when it came time for one or the
other Of them to go to sleep, and Dory took
the first watch, how lonely it was! Every
noise caused him to start in alarm, fearing
the road-agents might be creeping down upo1
them, and even the deep breathing of the can
tive, who was asleep sounded ominous and
threatening. He did his duties as watchman
faithfully, however, and when it was time to
