Lurching drunkenly into the harbor
known locally as Alden Back Bay, the
Panjnab came to anchor.
ORourke, from the lower grating Of
the steamships accommodation lad
der, signaled to enc Of the swarm Of
hovering dinghys, and waiting for 1t to
come in, reviewed the anchored ship

that spot from the four corners Of the

A yellow-haired Somali boatman
shot his little craft in to the grating.
O'Rourke dropped upon the stern-seat
and took the tiller. Post Office pier"
he said curtly The dinghy shot away
with dipping. dripping oars, while the
Irishnan continued to search among
the vessels for anything that seemed
TO promise the speed necessary for his
purpose, and failed to discover one.
"'Tis hopeless" he conceded bitter
ly as the boat wove serpenttne wake

CHAPTER XXI.

BY nine o'clock the Rance lay with
steam up, ready to weigh anchor.
It Is no praise to Dravos to state
that his engines were in admirable
condition Such was their invariable
state. For an assistant he impressed
into service none other than Danny
Malone. to Danny's intense dismay.
O'Rourke took upon himself the du-
ties Of first officer under Captain
Quick. The Irishman cared little for
the sea, knew less Of first officers
duties; but It was patent that Quick
could not stand every watch, and
O'Rourko was not to be daunted by
any such slight matter as nautical In
experience.
In the knowledge that they were
safely off at last there was poignant
relief to the wanderer, as he stood by
Quick's side, on the bridge, with mid
night imminent and the ship still and
peaceful. "TIl stand the night watch
es," the captain announced. by
morning we'll be far enough out for
you to take hold without spraining the
art Of seamanship. G'dnight"
Thank ye," said O'Rourke. In fact,
he had long been sensible that be was
very drowsy; the night wind IN his
face had something to do with that
Good night" he returned, and went
down the ladder to the deck.
At its foot he paused, turning curl
ously; it seemed that surely there
must be some serious trouble afoot in
the crew. The Irishman could see IN
the glimmer of the forecastle lantern
a confused blur of naked, shining,
brown bodies and limbs. apparently
inextricably locked. A scream rang
shrill and there followed the sound OF
q heavy fall
Overhead, on the bridge, Quick was
roaring himself hoarse, without effect.
The sounds O: shuf1ing. Of blows,
harsh breathing, stifled cries, contin.
ued. A knot Of the contestants swept,
whirling, aft, toward the superstruct-
ure. Something shot singing through
the air: the wind of 1t famed
O'Rourke's cheek.
With an unconscious, surprised oath,
O'Rourke stepped aside, his hand go
ing toward his revolver. The missile
struck a stanchion, glanced and fell
Gathering into the scuppers. Revolver
in hand. he went forward to the rail
overlooking the struggling rabble on
the deck below. But they seemed IN
tent only on their private differences,
and Quick's roars were bringing them
to their senses. Gradually the tumult
subsidized, the contestants separating
and sinking forward to their quarters.
1T may have been chance"
ORourke conceded a Bit doubtfully.
He swung about and moved aft SLOW
ly, examining the deck intently. In a
moment or two he stopped and picked
up a long, thin-bladed knife, double
edged and keen as a razor. The point
was broken, having doubtless been
snapped of at the moment OF contact
with the deck.house. O'Rourke turned
1t over soberly.
Faith, l don't like to think II was
intentional-but me head would have
been split had it come two inches to
the left"
He returned to the bridge, calling
Quick aside. You're armed?'
"Certainly-always armed when I'm
dealing with these devils. Why
O'Rourke showed him the knife.
Quick laughed at mis- theory. Moth

Murder by Official Authority in
Georgia.
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE. J

Does it not seem to you that Manager Deal
would have demanded few times, at least,
that the conductor be present when his
money-bag was emptied?
Was any watch ever kept on the clerk who
counted the cashg
It is not alleged that there was.
Yet the clerk was the very one who could
steal the money without fear of detection.
Therefore, the clerk was the person whom
the circumstances led into temptation.
AS was natural, the employees Of the COM
pany make grievance of the lawless mans
ner in which the corporation confscated
their property.
They were sanguine enough to believe that
their property was entitled to some protec-
ton.
Infatuated mortals!
They were very soon, and very cruelty
undeceived.
THEIR property was not entitled to any
protection from Manager Deal, nor yet from
Mayor Barrett, nor yet from Governor
Brown, nor yet from Adjutant General
Obear.
When these workmen went on strike,
because the street car corporation refused to
respect THEIR property-property earned
~
for the support, the feeding and the clothing
of wife and child, they found themselves
classed as outlaws.
Their plea for arbitration was spurned
with contempt.
After the streets Of Augusta had run red
with the innocent victims of military mad
ness Mayor Barrett declared that it was the
duty Of the street-car corporation to arbi-
trate
Why didn't Mayor Barrett take that posi-
ton at first?
Why did he wait until innocent men had
been murdered, until the weeds Of widow
hood had been thrown around wailing wives,
until the cry Of orphanage had been wrung
from the lips of children?
If it is the duty of the corporation to arbi
trate now, it was the duty Of the corporation
to arbitrate at the beginning.
Mayor Barrett ought not to have needed
the help of dead men to see his duty.
He went insane over the idea of protecting
corporation property, and entirely lost sight

Mayor Barrett made huge mistake when
he called on the Governor for troops, and the
Governor made a huger mistake when he
sent them.
It is not true that the city of Augusta was
IN state of instruction
1t is not true that the Chief of Police could
not have sworn in enough extra men to have
controlled the situation.
lt~ls not true that the Sheriff Of Richmond
County could not have deputized a sufficient
number OF citizens to have preserved order.
No effort in that direction was made.
The young mayor lost his head, and
instead of calling upon the Sheriff, called
upon the Governor.
Governor Brown, without having made
the slightest investigation of the facts, Off
cially proclaimed that the city of Augusta
was in a state of instruction, and he pre-
cipitately ordered out the troops.
What is an instruction?
It means combined resistance to the law
full authority Of the State, with intent to the
denial thereof when the same is manifested,
or intended to be manifested, by acts Of
violence.
In the United Editors Encyclopedia and
Dictionary we find instruction defined as
being "active and open hostility against any
constituted government by a considerable
number of persons: revolt, synonymous
with rebellion, sedition, revolution, mutiny."
In the unabridged dictionaries we find the
same definition.
What were the facts upon which Gov.
Brown based his official statement that the
city of Augusta was in a state Of insurrecz
ton?
Was there combined effort to overthrow
the city government?
Was fhapn oOp7hipoJ yovo1t no
county government?
Was there rebellion against the State
government?
Nobody even pretends there was.
The street cars were running, with police
men on them, and not glass of a single
window had been broken.
Tnere had been an abortive attack upon
the power-house of the corporation, but no
considerable damage had been done
The company remained In full possession
OF It's precious property.
Upon one person only had violent hands
been laid by the strikers, and that person was
a workman like themselves.
The individuals who committed that crime
were known, and could have been arrested
and punished
There was absolutely no combined resist
ance to the police.
There was absolutely no revolt against the
city government
There was absolutely no instruction
against County and State authorities.
There was not even persistent riot

But last week, when those fatal headlines
were drawn, there were absolutely no physi-
cal distractions nor evidences erected to put
the citizen on notice.
Was that not criminal negligence?
Men were shot and riddled with bullets,
because they did not Immediately stop when
halted.
Would it not have answered every pur-
pose Of the Law if unarmed, peaoeable citi-
zens who did not Immediately Stop, had been
taken IN custody by the sentinel and escorted

some little time to adjust themselves to that
unprecedented situation?

Did Robert Christie, doing his best to stop

1t is now claimed that Mr. Baker, who was
riding In buggy, trying to get home, fired
upon the soldiers before they fired upon him.
Did Mr.. Dorm, who was shot to pieces, fire

Did DR.. Battey fire first?
Did Christie fire first?
Did the boy on the wheel fire first?
Did Mr.. Wilson, his wife and his child
fire first?
At the time those citizens were fred upon
there was no crowd collected, no demonstra-
tons of violence, no appearance Of disorder
