: SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the Introduction
Of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massa-
chusetts maan marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso, ! Chile. Being interested in
mining operations in Bolivia, he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as a consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman5 and a young woman.
Stephens rescued the young woman from
a drunken bfficer. He was thanked by
her. Admiral OF the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens, told him that war had
been declased between Chile and Peru
and offered him the Office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda. a
Chilean 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 sEsmeralda, 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 I might have been de-
ceived. l realized that, because had
enjoyed no opportunity to observe the
Esmeralda in daylight, and nc occasion
to study her lines with care at any
time. To me she had appeared merely
as an extremely graceful vessel, in
%teresting to the eye of a canaan But
futile 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 M breath, even as l
laughed sarcastically at the vague sus-
picion, aroused largely, as l we'll
realized. by my increasing dislike of
the eX-whaleman. The wrong ship?
Why, the very conception of such an
accident was grotesque, ridiculous, be-
yin Tx ~ was lHC hdiluSlidlEOlA
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 OH the brass rail, my feet firm
on the underlined 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 mt stare about in
amaZement. So deeply did it impress
me that | remained there grasping the
the rail, gazing about in surprise, hest
tating to press my Investigations fur
Their. Yet this feeling was but mo-
mentary, the very desertion and ST.
lence quickly convincing me that the
cabin contained no occupants. The
movement of the vessel, the trampling
OF men on the deck, and the ceaseless
noise of the screw were more notice.
able here than forward, and no sea-
man, however overloaded with liquor
he might have been the night before,
could have slept undisturbed through
the hubbub and changes of the past
few hours.
Inspired to activity by this knowl-
edge. and eager to settle the identity
of our prize, | began closer examina-
ton Of that impressive interior, al
though not entirely relieved from the
spell of its royal magnificence. Six
doors. three upon each side, opened
on from the main cabin. The full
length mirrors occupied the spaces be-
tween, and the doors themselves were
marvels Of decoration and carving.
Another, beneath the stairs, led d.
rectly into the stewards pantry, and
revealed, besides, a p~assageway lead
ing forward, probably to the lazarette
am%idships. The others, as l tried their
brass knobs, exhibited merely COM
Portable staterooms. fitted up for off,
GERS use; three contained two hunks
each, the others only one. Four of the
beds had been carefully made, but the
remainder were in disorder, as though
quite lately occupied. Everything i'm
pressed me as unusually clean and
neat, evincing strict discipline. The
only desk l noticed was a ~roll-top af-
fair, securely locked, and with no lit
ter Of papers lying anywhere about.
