While Wayne Hartzall was return
ing home in the wee small hours OF
the might Saturday, the horses,
which he was driving, became fright
ened at barking dog and started
to run. Wayne, who was expecting
a long, fast ride, was fooled for the
hind wheels and the seat of the
buggy was left behind with him
in it. After the horses ran mile
or so they stopped and waited for
the driver, who, after quite long
rest, was compelled to leave his
comfortable seat and get the fright
ened animals.

Togo is the southernmost island in
the Cape de Verde group. situated in
the north Atlantic. I was there In a
bark which had brought lumber, hard
ware, agricultural implements and 9TH
or stun, and on our arrival we found
the brig Ivan already at anchor.
The commander of a Russian man
of-war on a cruise has more power
than the czar at home, The latter
must at least have some excuse TO
send a citizen to his death. The for
mer has only to report him dead. and
the details are never asked for.
Several OF the crew on the Ivan were
triced up and logged in plain view Of
us on the first day Of our arrival. and
it wasn't long before we learned that
the brig was floating hell.
One dark and rainy night, while
was standing anchor watch on our
craft, one OF the Russian sailors swan
off TO US He had come for a talk
He knew nothing whatever Of geogra-
ply and could not tell in which d.
reetion any coast lay. He asked par
ticular1y about the coast Of Brazil,
the distance. the people, the rivers,
etc He finally told me the crew Of
the brig I'd a man had decided to mu-
tiny, kill the officers and run the craft
ashore and each man shift for himself
until the excitement had blown over.
The days went by. There was the
usual routine of iogging aboard the
Ivan and a sailor who sprang over
board rather than be dashed was cool
BY shot down alongside the brig with
out being even ordered to return.
The next day at 5 O'Clock in the after
noon the mutiny suddenly burst forth.
There were six merchantmen in thel
barb0r. but had the Russian COM
mauder called for assistance It would
not have been afforded. At least fifty
OF US saw the Russian captain shot
and thrown overheard, and after him
went his first lieutenant. Then fol-
lowed the pavmaster and two others,
and the crew had the brig to them
selves. Before going out of the har-
Dor men were sent to every vessel to
show their raw backs and tell how
they had been wronged, and as the
brig turned her head TO sea she was
cheered.
1t was a week after when we got
ready for sea, bound for Rio Janiero.
We had no idea Of ever hearing from
the Russians again, but when four
days out we ran across a New Bed
ford wha]er named Scott, which gave
us some exciting news. Two days be-
fore she had been brought to by the
Ivan in midocean. An armed boats
crew had come aboard and robbed the
whaIer Of whatever they fancied
The next news came TO US two DAYS
later A gale sprang up from the
southwest, and before it was four
hours old we were compelled to lie to.

The Daily Story
Fate of the Brig ivan - BY M. Quad

/ IL struck US about 4 o'clock in the aft
ernoon and did not reach its height un-
til about next morning. Everything
was boiling and bowling when we
caught sight Of the Russian down I'm
the southwest. She must have run he
fore the gale much longer than we did
for she was not in sight when It broke
upon us. Being higher out Of tie va.
ter and more heavily spared, she was
also drifting faster. About O'Clock
she drove slowly past rs at not more
than a cable length away and we saw
many evidences that things were not
shipshape aboard her.

erything aboard was at skies and sew

a solid shot was fired at us. Owing
to the heavy sea the aim was bad and
it few above the topmosts. This ac-

had determined to put the bark on
her course and try to run away when
there came a sudden and awful explo-
sion.
We soon realized what had occurred.
The Ivan had blown ND. She was 10
windward Of us and about half a mile
away. There was q dark cloud, an
awful shock, and she seemed To be

came. The boat was not injured and

shock had acted altogether on his
mental faculties. He had become an
idiot and was deaf and dumb on top
of that. His face took on q childish
grin which never left it. and he con
