SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the Introduction
OF John Stephens, adventurer, "a Massa-
Shusetts man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso, Chile. Being Interested in
mining operations in Bolivia. he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
ard as a consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Inglishman and a young woman.

nronted stephens, told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
5hnd offered him the office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda. a
fChilean vessel, should be captured.
Stephens accepted the commission.
Stephens met a motley crew. to which he
was assigned. He gave them final in
structions. They boarded the vessel. They
successfully captured the vessel supposed
To be the Esmeralda, through strategy.
Capt. Stephens gave directions for the de-
parture of the craft.

serious an error as he suggested was
beyond possibility. Nevertheless the
mere suspicion was irritating, leaving
me filled with a vague unrest. 1t was
quite true that | might have been de-
ceived. | realized that, because | had
enjoyed no opportunity to observe the
Esmeralda in daylight, and no occasion
to study her lines with care at any
time. To me she had appeared merely

Tuttle and his crew must have known
the truth. If we were, indeed, on
board the wrong vessel, it was from
no innocent mistake of the darkness,
but rather the result of deliberate
plan, the full purpose of which was
beyond my comprehension. / swore
savagely under my breath, even as /
laughed sarcastically at the vague sus-
picion, aroused largely, as l well
realized, by my increasing dislike of
the ex-whaleman. The wrong ship?
Why, the very conception of such an
accident was grotesque, ridiculous, be-
yond belief. 1t was the hallucination
of a fool. One of the men assisted me
to unbar the slide across the compan-
ionway, and, bidding him stand by
ready for a hail, l started below, my
fingers on the brass rail, my feet firm
on the rubber-lined stairs.
These led into as handsome a sea
| parlor as ever l remember gazing
upon. Everything was effective and
in elaborate taste. ~evidencing an ex-
penditure that made me stare about in
amazement. So deeply did it impress
me that l remained there grasping the
the rail, gazing about in surprise, hest
tating to press my Investigations fur

mentary, the very desertion and ST.

though not entirely relieved from the
spell of its royal magnificence. Six
doors, three upon each side, opened
off from the main cabin. The full

l bent over the rail looking down
at the lettering he pointed out, yet
with no feeling of uneasiness.
Beyond doubt, that was the yachts

purchased her and renamed her Es-
meralda for their service. She was
bought from English parties, I've
heard. Probably the new owners have
found no opportunity to repaint the

and blew his nose, his voice more sui
lenly insolent as he resumed speech.
Glad we take it so cool, an maybe
yer right. However, it looks dam
odd to me"
/ glanced aside at the wheelman ap-
prehensively. The fellow was gazing
straight ahead of him into the rapidly
thinning fog. 1t was the name Of
| the mate more than his words that i'm
pressed me.
"See here, Mr.. Tuttle," and 1
dropped my hand rather heavily on
his sleeve, KINDLY explain exactly
what you are driving at. Do you in
tend to i~nsinuate that we have made
a mistake in the dark, and run off
with the wrong vessel? Why, man,
that is impossible. We are sailors,
not landlubbers. Both of us have had
chances to see the Esmeralda, and you
certainly knew where she was moored
yesterday"
"Well, when l come to think 1t
over, l don't feel quite so everlasting
ly sure about that. The mind o. man
is mighty deceitful," he admitted,
slowly. You see, l never saw her
any closer than maybe a mile, an
even then she was half hid behind 9TH

her outline an rig, but ! didn't pay
much attention to details. Tonight we
was all of us excited, an colors don't
show up much in the dark! Now, her
funnel is painted red, an unless I'm
a liar the Esmeralda's was black with
a yaller stripe round the top. You
see, Mr.. Stephens, we kept in pretty
close under cover all yesterday, an
maybe they hauled the Esmeralda up
to the government docks. and run an
other boat into her anchorage"
/ laughed aloud, not in the least i'm
pressed with his argument.
"a very likely story that there were
two vessels In that harbor so near
alike as to deceive all OF us"
He remained stubbornly silent, evi.

chin-beard.
There is a certain. way of settling
the matter" l went on, d~ecisively,
that is, by an examination Of the pa
pers In the cabin. Take charge OF the
bridge, and I'll run down and clear up
this affair beyond any further contro'
versy, We may even have one of the
ships officers slowed away there

Ing a railroad In a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations Of meat and we're
drinking water from a stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount OF meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to
the men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
heir drinking water.
Almost instantly all signs OF stomach
disorders passed and his men showed

oatmeal. 90

Captain Babb of Laurens. Has Been

Gencral Boyd said he would recon-

Col. Brooks resignation on Septem-

1t is believed here that this fore
shadows the retention of Captain
Babb for two years by the new ad-
