A swift step sounded beside him.
He turned an instant too late, who had
reckoned without Dennison. AS he
moved to protect himself the first Of
ficer's fist caught the Irishman just
under the ear, And one hundred and
seventy-tive pounds of man and malice
were behind it, O'Rourke shot into
the scuppers as though kicked by a
mule, struck his head against a piece
of iron work and lay still, half
stunned, shutting his teeth savagely
upon a moan.
Hole and the first mate stood over
him, and the captains voice, guarded
but clear enough, came to his ear:
You'll lie there, me man, and not
so much as a whimper till give you
leave. Take 'eed wot l says Mr..
Dennison ere is goin to clean is re-
volver."
O'Rourke lay silent, save for his
quick breathing. The first officer,
grinning inadvertently, sat down near
at hand, keeping basilisk eye upon
the PROSTATE man while he fondled an
able-bodied, hammerless Webley.
Hole moved off towards the gang
way, whence his voice arose, an in
slant later, greeting his visitor. The
latter put a hurried question, which
O'Rourke did not catch, but the cap
tain's reply was quick enough:

The Irishman swore beneath his
breath and watched the first officer.
The light from the lantern at the
gangway glanced duly upon the pol
ished barrel of the revolver, and the
cleaning line was steadily directed
towards O'Rourke's head. Upon re-
consideration he concluded to lie still,
to wait and watch his opportunity;

glanced into the hold, asked few
questions which would have been

brazen arcs were beginning to pop out
silently: There's the customs boat.

No lamps had yet been lighted be-
low, but O'Rourke knew the way to
door. The aftergl@w of the sunset,
entering through the portfolio, rem
dered TIE little coop light enough for
his purpose. Dropping to his knees,
the Irishman pulled his kit-box from
beneath the bunk.
The lid came up freely as he
touched it. For full minute he did
not breathe Then, in ominous 81
lence, he bent and examined the lock

his memory had not tricked him; the
trunk was locked, as he had left it
that morning. But the clasp had
yielded to a cold chisel.
1t was hardly worth the trouble
still O'Rourke rummaged through the
contents of the box, assuring himself
that the channels bag was gone. So
far as he could determine then, moth
ing else had been taken.
He shut down the lid and sat down
to think it out, eyes hard, face grimly
expressionless, only an intermittent
nervous clenching and opening of his
hands betraying his gathering rage
and excitement. At length he arose,
determination in his port.
One phrase alone escaped him:
And not a gun to me name!"
He went on deck. Already the trop-
ic night had closed down upon the
harbor, but 1t was easy enough to To-
cate the captain and first officer, still
waiting at the gangway. From over
side arose the splutter of launch-a
raucous sound. yet one that barely rip
pied the surface of ORourkes con-

the captains side and touched him
gently on the arm.

RUNAWAY TRAIN
On THE P. R.. R.
Engineer Was ScaIded H.
Cab Near Deans.

New York, Nov. 16:-Leaving the
Pennsylvania railroad terminal at |
o'clock yesterday afternoon, a New
York-Philadelphia express changed
from an electric to a steam locomo-
tive at Manhattan Transfer in New
Jersey and went on its way. The
locomotive, of the KIT" type, was
one of the most powerful on the
system; Frank Barber was engineer
and Joseph Garrett fireman. Both
live in Jersey City. The locomotive
has just passed Deans at a ~sixty-mile
pace when there came a sound like
a muffled explosion, team shot from
the centre of the locomotives boiler
and enveloped the side of the cab.
At the same time there was a loud
hammering on the ties.
Garrett climbed into the engines
cab and was scalded as he stumbled
over his unconscious comrade. With
no controlling head at the throttle
the train was running away. SO
binding was the steam that Garrett
could not at first find the reverse
lever. When he did get hold, he
raised it, only to catch the engineers
foot in it, crushing the foot badly.
The fireman pulled Barber out of
the way and was fumbling for the
mechanism controlling the a~irbrakes
when the engine left the rails at a
cross-over at Monmouth Junction.
The baggage car followed the loco
motive and the two plunged into the
station platform, grinding it to bits
before the train stopped. Garrett
leaped from the steam-flled cab and
told section hands that his engineer
was being roasted. A ladder vas
raised, the cab door smashed and
Barber was rescued.
In the trains sudden stop the pas
sengers received a severe shaking,
but no one hurt. Barber and the
fireman also were scalded. Examf-
nation of the locomotive showed that
a driving rod had broken and had
shot upward, blowing its way into
the boiler.

DEVOTE A DAY
TOTHIOYSTER
Chief Bacon Suggests CeIe
bratiOn in New Jersey.
tFrom the NEWS Correspondent

tTfONt tHt NG w ffNoPOtNcHFt
Trenton, Nov. 16.-As a means of
stimulating the oyster industry of
this state and giving patriotic eX-
preston of appreciation of its pro
duct, which last year amounted to
$4,000, 600, Charles r. Bacon, chief
of the state Bureau of Shell Fisher
les, suggests that New Jersey set
apart one day each fall as "Oyster
Day" Maryland already observes
such a day annually, and Chief Bacon
thinks this state would do well to
follow this lead. The idea of "Oyster
Day" originated with Swepson Earle,
Engineer of the Maryland Shell Fish
Commission, and Secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Shell Fish Com
missioners. He has proposed that all
states engaged in shell fish culture
observe such a day.
Chief Bacon suggests Friday, No
vember %, as the day set apart an
nually in this state as "Oyster Day
He proposes that on that day people
everywhere in the state eat oysters.
Explaining this suggestion to day he
said:
81 pledge the faith of the state to a
recommendation that the New Jersey
product of the oyster industry is
worthy of all confidence and esteem.
1t is proposed that on November ~,
all our people eat oysters. Eat them
whether you ever tasted them before
or not. Eat them in the morning; eat
them in the afternoon; eat them for
breakfast, dinner and supper. Eat
them in all forms, from the luscious
raws on the half shell to the broiled
or creamed on toast, and all the way
between. There are more than fifty
ways of preparing oysters for the Ia
BILE and all of them present this
toothsome fruit of the sea" in pala-
table, nutritious form. 1t would be
a fine idea to get acquainted with all
fifty ways Of preparing them on No
vember %.
X 1.-THE food value of oysters is un-
questioned and their attractiveness
beyond dispute, and an ever ready,
moderately priced help in this time
of the high cost of living.
"Jerseymen get acquainted with
the oyster. Boom the oyster, and at
the same time aid in boosting the to-
tai value of the product of this in
dustry."
