The Way the Captain Of 4 Slave
Trader Was Convicted.
Romance writer's are often blamed
for making the plots of their stories
turn upon slight chances and improba-
BILE incidents, but here is an incident
in real life stranger than fiction.
In 1893 the cutter Sparrow brought
the brig Nancy into harbor at Kings
ton, Jamaica. under suspicion that she
was engaged In the slave trade. But,
although many circumstances pointed
to this fact. no clear proof could be
obtained, as the brig had no papers
from which the charge could be sub
stantiated. The suspected vessel was
therefore discharged. but the day be-
fore she left the harbor a man-of-
war arrived, bringing some documents
that clearly proved her guilt.
These papers had been obtained in
a highly improbable manner" While
cruising OF the coast of Santo Domin-

amused themselves by fishing for
sharks. One monster was captured
and cut up on deck, and in its stom-

brought them before the authorities al
the nearest port. The unlucky brig
