This country had done what it had fought
Great Britain for doing in 1s12-boarded

ceived the details Of the capture: We

what Captain Wilkes has done. IL Great
Britain shall now protest against the act,
and demand their release, We must give

thinking themselves safe in Havana, they
did not hesitate TO let their lights shine and
accept Inequalities accorded them as en-
voys. although these were not as general
as they had hoped for.
While they We're at Havana the United
States frigate San Jacinto. Captain Wilkes,
dropped into the harbor on her way home
from an African cruise Captain Wilkes
collected such information as he could
about their movements. which was not diff
fcult and learned that they were TO sail
on November Z from Havana on the Trent.
Knowing that this vessel must pass
through tho old Bahama Channel he
planned TO meet her there and put out of
port in advance. On November s. near
noon, the lookout on the San Jacinto re-
ported the Trent approaching along the
channel AS she drew near, round shot
was fired across her bows and the Ameri-
can flag was raised The captain of the
Trent paid no attention TO this hint, but a
shell sent in the wake of the round shot
decided him, and his engines were stopped.
Lieutenant Fairfax, two other officers and
a guard of marines were rowed to the
Trent, and the lieutenant was shown to the
quarterback, where he asked for an OPP
portunity TO see the passenger list. This
being refused he said that he had been
Informed that the Confederate commits
sioners were on board. and he must sat-
isfy himself on that point before he could
permit the vessel TO proceed. Hearing
their names mentioned, the ENJOYS and
their secretaries approached the officer and
inquired IL they were wanted.
The lieutenant then made known his or
ders which were the seizure of the persons
Of the Confederate officials. The discussion
on the quarterback had the usual result OF
an unusual incdent-it attracted the GU
rious-and many crowded around the
group. These persons expressed in no I'M

In a poker game the professional has so
many different ways Of fleeing the novice
that the latter is allowed to hold cards
merely as a matter of form. In the first
place, two gamblers playing with straight
deck can easily corral all the chips on
the green table by arranging a system of
signals that no one could notice. Then,
proving the contention that the hand is
quicker than the eye, gambler who knows
how to handle deck can deal from the
potion WITHOUT CGduelIS lHt SlliOoNl iiO't-
ment of his hand, and it is done SO swift
" that even If the player opposite knew
that the deal was crooked he couldn't de-
tect it with his eye.
The deadest. surest way Of all is to get
a pack Of marked cards into the game
paper" the gamblers call IT, Gamblers
would prefer 10 mark their own paper,
but the making of the necessary ink Is
closely guarded trade secret and only
few know how 10 work IT, II the gambler
doesn't know how TO do his own marking
there are houses that make a business or
crooked decks, and he can patronize one OF
these. or course, while using the factory
made paper he runs the chance of hav-
ing some one else at the table who Is
familiar with the marks, too.
Cards are marked by making slight
changes IN the designs on the back. IL
takes genuine artist to mark cards prop
erlv II the work is clumsiy done there
is the constant danger Of detection. That
is the one thing that keeps the entire pro-
fession from making too extensive use or
paper
When the gambler goes about marking
dock he removes it from the box by steam
ing the seals Then he takes what Is
known as the "cut-out ink and with
