Prise. The ship was not going to
America apparently.
But 1t was evident. even to the most
sanguine mind. that the game was
up. Strathgate's boat was suddenly
put about. The earl had abandoned
the chase and was going back to har-
Dor. Darlington was not SO easily
daunted, or perhaps he was more
blind to the possibilities. for he strove
to persuade the boatmen to continue
the chase. He would have sailed to
France, or to America, or to the end
of the world, in whatsoever boat he
was on so long as 1t would float. But
the boatmen were not so minded. They
were not provisioned for such a
cruise nor prepared for it. Not even
the incentive of unlimited financial
rewards with which Darlington strove
to dazzle them could make them agree
to continue the pursuit. They were
clamorous for putting back to Ports
mouth. seeing plainly that they had
failed. 1t was only the personal au
thority of Carrington's rank and sta
tion which kept them from summarily
dispossessing him from the helm
They were not quite ready for that

William Jennings Bryan has always
opposed great American navy. He
went to Congress years ago, and II he
accomplished anything worthy of note,
the record has failed to show it. At
that time the Democrats all over the
country were looking to him with grow
ing admiration because of his obstruc-
ton tactics. On July ., 1892. he arose
in his place in the House of Repre-
sentatives and opposing proposed
naval appropriation, said:
Mr.. Speaker, believe in sufficient
navy. We have this now, either in ex-
istence or In construction. We do not
need more"
Is the same bryan Today.
Such was Mr., Bryan sixteen years
ago and such he is today. He has op-
posed every proposed appropriation TO
increase and strengthen our navy, as n
matter of defense and protection to our
coast line, and a preventative OF war
with other nations, as II source OF PRIDE

ranging from $500 to $500 each. ac-
