the Agnew-Hart anti-race track
gambling bill passed at the extra

fore Governor Hughes began his

the body of a white woman. The
corpse of a little child lay on the dead
breast one arm was flung around it.
The other encircled the neck of a man,
dead also whose head lay across the
woman's lap; the fingers Of her hand
were entwined in his hair. In the
mans shoulder was the deep cash OF
a knife wound, and a red stain ran
from the group across the white deck
planking.
At my cry the captain joined me,
and together we made a further eX-
animation. Both the man and the
woman were young, the latter showing
signs of considerable beauty. The
child may have been a year old. The
woman's feet were bare, cut and
bruised as though with running over
rocks and sharp shells. The child's
body was in its nighuobe; those of
the man and woman in torn night
ClOthing-mute evidence of terror and
desperate haste in getting aboard the
boat The man had apparently died
some twenty-four hours earlier than
the others, from his wound-the
woman and child later, of thirst, hun
ger and sheer misery. There was not
a note. not a SCRAP of paper to tell
aught of the horror that had gone be-
fore.
Reverently We closed the poor star
ing eyes, dead eyes that met our own
with a sort of dumb questioning, and,
reclimbing the schooner's rail, re-
gained our own craft. 1t only re-
manned to hide the faces of the dead
as quickly as possible.
The matches were battened down
over the cockpit of the little craft,
and, slowing a plank in her side below
the water-lne, we watched her sink,
whilst Captain Warner read the serv-
ice for the burial of the dead at sea.
When the water Tipped the hatch
coamings the yacht keeled over, and,
disappearing in a little swirl, carried
with her the dead and their secret.

A WEIRD YARN FOR BRITISH READERS
ABOUT DISAPPEARANCE OF LAYSAN ISLAND

Dawn was well advanced, the wind
had dropped, and the schooner swung
lazily over the long swell, with scarce
ly a ripple, at not more than two
knots. AS my head topped the cabin
hatch l saw beyond the rail- bearing
two points on the weather-bow and dis
tant about two miles, a lighter sLeck
en- the limitless blue.
On deck Captain Warner handed me
his glass
What do you make of her, Mr.. Mat
SOM"
Steadying the glass on the main
shrouds, l looked long and earnestly.
She was a small, white-painted yacht
Of about three tons, smack-rigged. Her
sails, loosed by the run, trailed in the
water alongside. The gaff lay where
it had fallen across the tiny cockpit
and the break of the half-deck for
ward was half hidden under the folds
of the mainsail A rattle of cordage
lay about her deck, or sagged in the
water as she rolled to the heave of
the sea.
The white, wheeling flock of gan
nets and molly-hawks that, circling
around her, every now and again dart
ing almost under the half-deck to flut-
ter back, spoke plain to the sailor of
something of the tragic hidden with
in the dark.
Taking the wheel from the steers
man, the skipper laid the schooner
close to the wind, and we forged
slowly nearer. The crew, lining the
rail, gazed over the lessening distance
