She had made up her mind that IL
shs did not like Mr.. Mayhem she
would not stay with him. She had
often wondered what claim her father
had on him. and why he should as
sumo that he would undertake the re-
sponsibility OF providing her with a
home. But speculation brought her
no nearer a solution of the problem.
She would have to wait until she
reached the end Of her journey.
Suddenly her reflections wei enter
rupted by a shock that nearly threw
her to the floor, accompanied by a
noise like the ripping Of a silk dress.
A second shock followed, less violent
than the first, and then the great ship
came to a %standstill. For a moment
Marion did not feel greatly alarmed.
She put on the warm coat with some
elaboration and then hurried along to
the gangway.
Here a knot OF excited men and
women were struggling to be first on
deck. In a few moments shrieks and
cries we're heard mingling with the
stern voice OF the captain, who was
giving his commands. The forepart
of the vessel seemed to be firmly
wedged on unseen rocks; her stern
was settling slowly into the water.
For a while the confusion was made
worse COMPOUNDED by the hiss and
sputter Of rockets and the melancholy
shrek Of the siren. Then the fog lift
ed for a moment OF two and the fierce
CLEAN from the Lizard light lay across
the deck. Then a cry was heard from
the shore, mufied and indistinct, then
the fog closed again and everything
was blotted out.
The davits were being swung out
and the boats lowered with all posi-
BILE speed. The captain did not at
tempt to hide the fact that the Ne.
braska was doomed. The stokers
and enginemen rushed on deck with
terror-stricken faces.
"The women first" the captain
shouted, and he stood with a revolver
In his hand to see that his orders were
carried out.
What happened after that no one
knew exactly. Some of the boats were
launched safely, and with their com
plemsnt Of passengers disappeared in
the darkness. Other boats got
damned and were of no use whatever.

toward the cliffs with all possible

BURIAL OF CROWN JEWELS.

49, ~
The curious story OF the search

gala revealed in the minutes of evil
dence heard by the viceregal commits.
sion on the loss of the Dublin castle
jewels recalls the interesting fact that
the Scottish crown jewels, which mys.
teriously disappeared at the time of
the C~romwellian invasion, were bur-
led for safety. They were located in
Dunottar castle, which was besieged
by Cromwell, and on the v of sur.
render Lady Ogilvie, wife Of the com
mander of the beleaguered force, man
aged to elude the b~esiegers and get
the jewels out Of the castle.
They were buried beneath the pull.
Fit In the parish church. and the place
where they were hidden was never
revealed till the restoration. Ogilvie
was rewarded with a baronetcy, and
Keith, who misled the Cromwellians
by stating that they were In the pos
session of the exiled Charles II. was
made an earl.
The mysterious disappearance OF the
Dublin state jewels has had n Gu
rious parallel. Some years g a cas-
ket containing jewels Of the value OF
E13, 900 disappeared under circum-
stances of the greatest mystery from
the house Of the duchess of Leinster
in Dominic street, Dublin. In spite OF
the most thorough investigation no
trace of the thieves could be discov-
cred. although umo suggested that
more than one person OF rank could
throw light on the robbery.
The jewels were ultimately returned
to their noble owner, but to this day
we believe the mystery Of their disap'
~pearance remains unsolved.
