Emerging from the dunes. they saw
the airship skimming Off along the line
Of beach foam. Down the beach stood
Mrs. Stott and Captain Harrod. look
ing after the airship in amazement
and delight. Then. turning like u
frightened heron, she swept seaward
and came down the wind like an ar

flag over the rail and Theodore swing
Ing his hat.
Suddenly as she passed them with
maneuver so astounding for aerial
craft that they could scarcely believe
their eyes she stopped The sharp
whir Of the beating wing sections told
of the sudden reversal of their stroke
and of the unprecedented phenomenon
Of the almost instant arrest Of such
machine in midair 1t was an unnec-
essary strain. thought the captain.
He saw the reason, however, a mo-
ment later. A black Shiny nose-the
nose of the Stickleback-poked itself
above water right ahead Of the vir.
ginia. A boat that looked stove and
sinking drew away from her. with
struggling. gesticulating figure in it
waving a signal Of distress. The Shiny
nose sank. and the apparent castaway
was left as If to perish unless rescued

its car appeared almost to touch the

Of any one looking on to guess what
was taking place. Why had the man
made the signals for help II the sub
marine was standing by? II the COM

unexpected. why had he not cast off
the line from the aeronef? Why And
suddenly they all felt that something
sinister. something devilish. was TAX
ing place. They heard a shout from
Theodore. scream from Virginia.
The submarine had come awash again.
and from her open n,anhole came the
crack OLA pistol-a pistol aimed at
the airship. Then she sank again, and
the airship was drawn downward by
the line. Struggling toward land,
hanging by the fatal thread. like
trapped bird. she strained at her teth-
err. while the grim submarine. like a
devilfish which had thrown tentacle
about waterfowl, made seward. out
into the gulf. out into deep water. with
a purpose. as manifest as it was dead

IN NICARAGUA.

Word comes from Nicaragua 10 the
effect that an American. William Pitt
man, who was captured among the in
surgents, Is being maltreated there.
Consul olivares reports that he found
him in a filthy cell. starving. but that
he was. finally, permitted TO bring food
TO the prisoner
II seems TO us that the Americans
who join insurgents in a foreign coun-
try can expect very little aid from the
home government They place them
selves outside the protection Of treaties,
and, since insurgents are not recognized
as belligerents, they cannot even count
on the treatment due TO prisoners OF
war As insurgents they are no more
than outlaws
But for all that the president Of Nj
caragua could well afford 10 show
humane feelings In his treatment Of
such prisoners They are really not
criminals, except technically. To cap
ture them and throw them into a filthy
hole and starve them is so contrary TO
civilized usage as 10 brand those who
resort 20 II as barbarians.
Our policy In Nicaragua has been
vacillatlng and uncertain and IL has
attracted the III will ~ all South Amer
lea. This Is apparent in the psn-Amer-
lean congress now in session at Buenos
Ayres, where some of the delegates are
trying 10 make our attitude IN the
Nicaragua embrogllo the subject OF
public inquiry We have courted the
favor OF the insurgents by threatening
to do something 10 tho government II
American prisoners were executed. and
then we have permitted the execution
without taking any measures. In all
probability the treatment of American
prisoners in Nicaragua is but a reflex
Of this general feeling against the
United states. How II can best
be allayed and animosity turned into
friendship is one Of the problems before
our government. America needs the
Latin-American trade that now goes to
Europe.
