ASHFORD AT MAIDEN'S WALK
Novel By Bingham, just Off he Press,

The Broadway Publishing Company,
New York, has just brought out a
book, Ashore At Maiden's Walk, writ
ten by f. F. Bingham. Those who
know Mr.. BiEgham-and there is per-
haps no man better known in business
and political circles in Pensacola-will
be prepared for something readable,
judging by his contributions to The
Journal from time TO time, during the
past ten yours, but they will hardly
expect a .,.,,.l of so much promise from
one who pursuts writing only as a
side-line.
Mr.. Bingham Is one OF the busiest
men in Pensa cola. He is secretary and
assistant manager of the Southern
States Lumber Company-with which
firm he mas been connected since 1880,
when he came TO Pensacola, a youth
Of eighteen-a member of the board
of bond trustees; man of affairs in
both the commercial and political life
of the city. Yet. Notwithstanding
these facts, he has written rafting
good yarn, story that is not only
interesting but in many ways remark
able.
Ashore At Maiden's Walk was writ
ten by Mr.. Bingham in six weeks
time, at night, after the business cares
of the day had been laid aside. Lest
this statement may convey to the
reader the impression that the writing
Of this novel was merely for relaXa-
ton, it may be noted that it was writ
ten and rewritten by the author on
the typewriter four times-that 1t is
volume OF 100 pages, each page
avera aging 2SO words. making total
of over $4,000 words, which would
seem to go towards proving that the
writing OF a novel is not play, for the
busy man of affairs, who takes up
writing as a side-line, and does
book in six weeks time, in his off
hours.
But. Notwithstanding, the joy of the
craftsman speaks in every lire, and it
is this more than anything else that
gives the book it's charm. One is swept
along from the opening chapter, when
the hero is introduced "boatswain,

shouldered young man, with red hair,

abundance of frec1Iles''-untii the clos
ing pages, when the sails are furled
on a chapter where everybody is made
happy in the most delightful and nat
uraI manner.
This is another charm about the
booklets naturalness. One opens ones
eyes a bit when the hero is intro
duced, and wonders what great deeds
he can do, to Offset his handicaps,
and one reads on to the end Of the
book with satisfaction, as chspter after
chapter reels off, without one heroic
deed. Nothing ever happens tc mend
his nose; no alchemy is ever used by
the clever author to bleach his freck
les; no turn of fate or rick Of for
tune bring to the hero new words
with which to express his clear
thoughts. but unto the very last he
trips over parts of speech, in the most
natural manner in the world. He is
not even allowed the privilege of hav-
ing won his broken nose in any great

CHINESE CREW FACES
CHARGES OF SMUGGLING
Tried to Get Countrymen into U. S.,
Say Officials.


Three Chinese from the crew Of the
Castle Bruce, steamer that docked at
Chester two days ago with cargo OF
iron ore from the Dutch West Indies,
will be arraigned before United states
Commissioner Edmonds In the Federal
Building today They are charged with
attempting to smuggle two of their coun-
trymen into the United states.
A thrilling story of a narrow escape
by Inspector George Allen, of the Inn
migration Bureau, was brought to light
today following the arrest.
He went to the Castle Bruce two days
ago after receipt of word from Captain
Ernest Howe that he had two stow
aways aboard and that his crew seemed
to be in league with the men. Lining
the eighteen Chinese UP on the deck, Allen
picked the man he thought most likely
to weaken under a cross-examnation and
went into the cabin with him. Ed Lee,
a Chinese interpreter, accompanied the
inspector.
A few minutes later there was a knock,
and some one told Allen that the cap
tain wanted him, as the crew wanted
to settle Allen. opening the door, found
the crew crowded into the narrow COM
panionway At their head was big
Chinese, known as the mo. 1 man"
The inspector pulled his revolver and
threw the ringleader into the cabin. He
slammed the door and bound the man
hand and foot. When he opened the door
again the crew was still there, and
Allen forced the II men ahead of him
up to the deck. Then he jumped to the
pier and escaped.
The men arrested today are Lem Yee.

Chinese stowaways are now In irons on
the ship.
