rich cargoes captured from the Inflated merchant
men that had fallen into their hands and the
stores OF gold and goods from plundered cities
on the mainland. The place was safe from all
pursuers and there the pirates divided their spoils

attacked by them. From 1884, when the Holland
ers apparently found 1t without an owner, the
island was Dutch possession. Thrifty merchants
settled there and It requires no stretch of the
Imagination to suppose that their immunity from
raids was due to the excellent facilities they af-
lofded the pirates for disposing of loot. rhs cities

the other day of an American minis

London, he made every effort to get
an intimate view of the two branches

no stranger is allowed on the floor OF
the house of lords, but the minister
not. knowing this, and with the usual
amount of American push, tried to
make his way in. There is a rule,
however, that servants of the various
lords may be admitted to speak to
their ministers. Seeing the minister
walking boldly in, the doorkeeper
asked:
