SUNkfN CRUISERS
VICTIMS ARE e
Divers Find No Dead in Hulk of
Warship On Their First
Examination

LONDON, April 26.-The total num-
Der of dead and missing of the Gladi-
ator's crew as result of collision
between the American liner St Paul
and the British cruiser off the Isle of
Wight is %. The admiralty late last
night issued a revised list of the names
of the Gladiator victims, which in
cludes an additional death i. the hos
pitai, bringing the total Of deaths
known up TO five. Twenty-three man
are missing. according to the list, and
six are suffering from severe injuries.
The secretary of the admiralty ex-
presses fear that there are still eight
others missing, but is unable to give
the names as yet. Divers today
searched part of the sunken cruiser for
bodies, but were not successful in find
ing any.
The opinion among shipping men and
naval officers and officials appears to
be unanimous that the accident was
unavoidable, being one of the chances
of the sea which all seamen must risk.
There will be the usual naval court
and an inquiry by the board of trade.
The officers of both ships refuse to dis
cuss the affair until they have given
their testimony officially.
All witnesses of the disaster agree
practically that both crews behaved as
well as possible.
Coming so soon after the loss of the
torpedo boat destroyer Tiger, which
was sunk by the cruiser Berwick off
the Isle of Wight on April 8 last, 36
men being drowned, the sinking of the
Gladiator is a severe blow to the Brit
ish navy.

CHAPTER II.

Franklin Cover had left Damorey
Court ON some urgent business which
Unexpectedly detained him in London
for several days. Consequently he was
absent from his sisters house when
Beryl. accompanied only by an elderly
German attendant, arrived on her visit
to Lady Beauchamp.
At their first meeting Lady Beauchamn
was perhaps the more nervous of the
two. And she was moreover consider
ably startled. Even her brothers pre-
diction that the ugly duckling might
turn out eventually to be a graceful
swan had not prepared her for the ex-
IRENE loneliness OF the girl who stood
calmly before her with wide open, direct
gaze, evidently making mental notes of
her hostess appearance and character
instead of shyly dropping her eyelids
and waiting encouragement to take a
frightened peep at the outer world as
might have been expected of a timid
maiden fresh from convent school.
Lady Beauchamp, truth to tell, felt
uneomfortably conscious that the stead
fast gaze had instantly discovered that
her hair was not throughout an adorn-
ment provided by Nature, that the raw
ages made by time and late hours in her
complexion had been skilfully repaired
by the magic touch of eonsummate
art, and that the brightness of her eyes
was not exactly the brilliancy dce TO
youth. In a general way Helen made no
disguise of all this, and would have
stopped TO no denial directly taxed
Il hope you have had pleasant jmir-
ney, Miss Vivian she said, with an nm
wonted hesitation in her voice and man-
