NOT ON ANNIVERSARY.
Northern Wave One Day Behind Date
Of Bridge Accident.


The steamer Northern Wave of the
Mutual Line, and the North Wind of
the same company, which latter boat
arrived shortly after the Wave had
reached her dock and while the A. A.
Augustus was coming up the lake,
both finished loading copper at the
quincy smelts Sunday morning and
proceeded to Dollar Bay to take on
more copper. Had the Northern Wave
arrived one day sooner she would
have opened navigation and passed
through the drawbridge on exactly the
NTH anniversary Of the memorable
day that she knocked the bridge down,
which occurred at four o'clock on
Saturday Afternoon. April Is, 1905. 1t
has been enormously stated that Sat
urday last was the anniversary, but
such is not the case. 1t happened on
a Saturday, but il was on the 18th and
not the 10th.
The experience of Portage Lake res
one that it Is hoped will not have to
be repeated, although it has been init
mated such may be the case when the
work on the county bridge repairs is
commenced. 1t might also be men
toned that the year of the bridge acI
cident the Wave did not open the
season Of navigation, the Schuylkill of
the Anchor line having arrived here
on the 18th, and not having left the
Copper Range dock when the bridge
was demolished was obliged to go out

ill-advised POPULARITY.
Genevieve has the grace to blush and
change the subject.

Mary Morningdale and they both strolled

And Genevieve reached over to pass
the butter to James, and her kimono
sleeve dipped in the creamed potatoes.
That evening when dinner. was well out
of the way James and Genevieve awoke
to degree of energy that banished the
subject. They decided that it was really
time to call on the Marstons, down the
street a block who were very nice and
had cordially invited them. After an
elaborate toilet Genevieve presented her
self to her waiting spouse. trim and tai

had money enough to buy her that thr

when the richest prize of the cruise, the
Quedah Merchant, was taken. This great
ship had store Of merchandise, a lot
of gold and silver, precious stones of
considerable value and a miscellaneous
cargo such as would delight the heart of
any pirate.
How many vessels Capt. Kidd and his
men plundered is hard to tell. For time
they gave their attention to vessels only,
and were scrupulouSly honest in their
dealings with the merchants on shore
from whom they had to purchase sup
plies and with whom they did any trad
ing The Adventure leaked so badly that
Kidd had to abandon her and transfer
his plumber to the Quedah Merchant. He
divided the spoils honestly and fairly with
his men, but 100 of them deserted, and
he decided to return home. AS a final
stroke of business he invited lot of
traders aboard the Quedah Merchant. Os-
tensibly he wanted to sell lot of the
merchandise of the rich ship to them,
and also he was DESTROYS of purchasing
precious stones from them. They brought
money and they brought gems. After he
had bargained with them long enough
to discover what they had in the way of
money and jewels, he stripped them Of
their wealth, ordered them off his ship,
and then he sailed away.

Possibly his departure was hurried by
some rumors that had reached the In
dian ocean that a squadron had been
sent out by his friend the king to check
his operations. He had been in the
east two years, and had earned hand
some profits for his partners, so he was
not reluctant to leave.
Although half a dozen warships were
securing the seas for him he had no in
reference on his way back TO America.

no pirates could he find. There were

about James Russell Lowell and a bad

"A Boston woman said Mr.. Carman,

line:

Calling at this woman.s house a few

When the proposition was made to Kidd
in London to take command Of the prf-
vateer to go out in pursuit of the pirates
years before he had married. His wife
had owned an excellent piece OF property
in Narrower square, near where the Cotton
Exchange now stands, and he had sold
this and moved into new house on Lib
erty street near Nassau. He was well
to do, home loving and had thought of
giving up the sea. To go privateering
would mean long absences from home
and increased dangers. So he declined.
But the king and the kings friends in
the syndicate did not intend that he
should have his own way. 1t was init
mated to him that he must accept. Other
wise he would not be permitted to leave
the Thames. Hesitatingly and reluc-
family he accepted. Livingston signed his
bond and all the syndicators except the
king put up their money to fit out the
privateer., In the language of the turf
the king WEIGHED. So far as is known he
retained his interest, but kept his money.
He had served a purpose. however. He
had been good decoy duck to get others
to subscribe to the pool. A stanch thirty
gun vessel of 2S7 tons, the Adventure.
was purchased. and in April, 1896, Kidd
sailed in this for New York to complete
his crew and make ready for business.
On his way over to New York he cap
tured a French ship off the Newfoundland
banks, and when he reached New York
he was greeted as conqueror. The pro-
vincial assembly voted ESQ to him by
way of testimonial.
If ever man got a daredevil crew for
a boat Kidd got one for the Adventure
in New York. He signed his men on the
contract of no prize no pay. and he got

The days and the months were slipping
by, and there was no pay for them. No
prize no pay, was the contract. If any
thing will stir up the devil in a crew of
rogues, idleness surely will, and Capt.
Kidd's 150 or more rogues had been more
or less idle for year. Not only that, but
the captain had another nightmare. Not
a penny was he earning for his royal part
ner, or for the duke. or the chancellor, or
my Lord Bellomont, or good Mr.. Living
ston. To remain idle in the Indian ocean
meant mutiny. To go home empty hand
ed meant disgrace and ruin. What was
Mr.. Kidd to do?
just what he did will remain a disputed
point in history so long as time lasts, The
captains own report was that his mu-
tinous crew locked him in his cabin, at
tackled and plundered merchant ships
without regard to the flag under which
they sailed and even fought drawn bat
tie with Portuguese man-of-war. This
may be true or it may be false. But it
is a fact that from out of the Indian
ocean came reports soon after that Mr..
Kidd and his New York pirate chasers
were the busiest pirates those piratical
waters ever had known. And certain it
is. too, that If the captain was locked
