Besides the workmen. there was no

slowly up the avenue at that moment,
and a covered motor-car getting up

that the strange sound had proceed
ed from It's ambushed tonneau; and II
was, surely, a human voice Of distress.
He stepped forward to the curb. The
car was upon him, then numbered
heavily and swiftly past. But on the
instant of its passing there appeared
beneath the lifted curtain and quite
near his w face, the face OF the
singer OF yesterday; and from pale,
agonized lips. as II with dying breath,
she cried. Help, help"

was almost lost beneath hat and flow

preston was blotted out by fear. He
stood for a moment rooted to the curb,
watching the dark mass Of the car as
1t swayed down the bill. Then he
beckoned sharply to his driver, met
the taxicab half way, and pointed to
the disappearing machine.
Quick! Can you overtake IT,"

said the driver.

to be a sound sport.

had its number, which might lead to
something. At the Waldorf the car
slowed up. and the cab came within a
few yards. Hambleton made up his
mind at that instant that he had been
mistaken in his supposition OF trouble
threatening the lady, and looked mo-
mently to see her step from the car
into the custody of those starched and
l~acquered menials who guard the por-
tails OF fashionable hotels.
But 1t was so. A signal was inter-
changed between the occupants of the
car and some watcher In the door

men. He commanded the Catalpa In

prisoners from the convict station or
Freemantle, western Australia, under
the frowning guns of a British cruiser,
and landed them safely in this u
try. The men were former soldiers in
the English service, who like many
others of their kind had been o over

ment at Freemantle. Among the num-
Der was John Boyle O'Reilly, who.
soon after reaching Freemantle, eff
fected his escape and, coming to this
country, became noted as a writer,
lecturer and poet. Others among the
Is, with the exception Of six, served
out their terms. The six who remained
had been sentenced for life and in
1874 a movement for rescuing them
was begun by the Clan-na-Gael, the
successor Of the Irish Revolutionary
Brotherhood, which had slowly devel-
oped after the collapse of the Fenian
government.
In 1875 the whaler Catalpa was pur-
chased by the Clan-na-Gael and placed
In command of Captain Anthony, who
undertook the difficult and dangerous
mission with eagerness.
Meantime Breslin, Thomas Des-
mond of San Francisco and agents
Of the Clan-na-Gael, were making &C
tive preparation in Australia for the
release of the convicts. Breslin and
Desmond, under assumed names, posed
as men seeking profitable investments
and made friends with the governor
Of the colony. They were permitted
TO visit the prison frequently and en-
ter into communication with the six
Fenian prisoners. They explored the
country about and fixed upon Rocking
ham, % miles from Freemantle, as the
place where the boat Of the Catalpa
should land and take of the convicts.
After the Catalpa had put in at Bun
bury, Breslin fastened from Freeman
tie to meet Captain Anthony and was
quickly introduced" to him in the
hotel. Condolences were exchanged
and plans of release discussed. While
Breslin returned to Freemantle, Cap

April 16, 1876, a whaleboat from the
Catalpa, carrying Captain Anthony
and a crew of six men, landed at
Rockingham and next morning had
considerable difficulty in accounting
for themselves to a customs officer.
Meantime, Of Freemantle, the work
of rescue had begun. The prisoners
were allowed n great deal of liberty
and were assigned various kinds Of
work outside tbe prison walls. Two
traps, made ready by Desmond and
Breslin, awaited them on the Rock
ingham road, within five minutes run
of the prison, Snd when the prisoners,
wearing letters, left the prison for
their assigned duties they were taken
and conducted by Breslin and Des-
mond. The race for Rockingham was
then begun ami that place was nearly
