Full details of all this Roleau did
mot know. He knew well enough,
mono the less, that escape for him lay
by water and not by land.
Itfwas night when he approached
the wharyes along. the Grahotfen har.
borsfront At their anchorage lay the
dim gray buiks OF the few battleships
belonging TO Cortisiaw. At one OF the
docks signs Of activity attracted him.
"A yacht, long, clean.lined vessel, a
thoroughbred in all details, beauti.
fully equipped and apparently we'll
manned and Differed, was getting
ready to set out. Roleau looked at
Il closely. It bore the royal ensign.
In truth, It was none less than the
yacht Of royalty itself.

the captain of tho yacht, before whom
Represented himself a little later. 81

The captain looked at this intruder
for a moment with none too much
favor. !
This boat is not for charter" said
he. Wear leaving. 1t is true. but
we offer no passage for the public"
Nor am IL under charter for the
public, rejoined Roleau calmly. 81
am In high service. None the less,
am ready to pay for transportation
from this place. l am careless where
you may be sailing. Ask me not too
many questions, and j will not inquire
OF you, my dear; captain, why you are
now sailing with the kings yacht"
This bold chance thrust went home.
Roleaus suspected now that the cap.
tain was sailing under orders OF his
own and for reasons OF his own. The
man hesitated now.
well, then" said he, at length, I'VE
have room, that is true. But as to
refugeesls
ecall mo no refugee!" said Roleau
firmly. 7 tell you. l am on business
Of importance, and care little where
you 80, save only, that you take me

By this time Roleau was aboard.
The captain neither welcomed him
nor repulsed him. He only shrugged
his shoulders, and accepted some
coins which Roleau placed in his
hand.

THE ASHLEY PEOPLE
ARE ALWAYS BUSY

The Ashley Metal Works has sue
ceeded in keeping busy all through
what has been extraordinarily dull
times of the past few months, and
now that business has again taken on
its former activity it is rushed with
hurry orders for roofing and other
work in its line. It has lately rooted
the three large new school buildings
in this city, besides other large build
ings throughout the territory. It will
begin in a few days recovering the
Clyatt building on North Main street.
Many of the farmers of the county
have learned that it is economy to
have iron tanks on their place instead
Of wooden ones. and also that an iron
roof is far more preferable to a wood
en- one from a standpoint of economy
and safety from fire.

CARMICHAEL WILL SOON Be
AGAIN IN COMMISSION
RAISED IMMEDIATELY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER
REPAIRS WILL BE RAPIDLY MADE AND OKAWAHAS BIGGEST REHR WILL NOT Be
LONG OFF ITS RUN

Mr.. Ed Carmichael has returned
from Palatka and Jacksonville, where
he went to arrange for raising his
freight boat, the G. Al. Carmichael,
and for the hauling of her freight
from Jacksonville to Silver Springs
while she is being made ready for her
run again.
First, Mr.. Carmichael chartered a
lighter and tug to tow it and loaded
the lighter with freight. This tow,
with all freight scheduled to come on
the Carmichael, will arrive at the
springs this afternoon or tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. Carmichael arranged with a
contracting company at Palatka,
managed by Mr.. Herbert Crook, for
merly of Ocala, to raise his boat, tow
her to the steam ways at Palatka and
make the repairs, and says she will
be on her run again in less than a
week.
If the accident had to come, it is
lucky that the boat was going down
light. It was thought here, when the
news was first received, that she was
loaded with crossties, but Mr.. Carmi-
chael says she had nothing aboard at
all, and will therefore be much easier
fioated and towed in.
He says the accident was due en-
tirely to the Crescent City; that both
boats were going down river in the
same direction, and his crew saw the
lights of the larger vessel 80 minutes
before they struck. The Crescent was
the faster and slowly overhauled the
Carmichael. Both boats were blowing
and the Carmichael turned as far out
of the channel as she dared when she
saw the other vessel was crowding
into her. Mr.. Carmichael says the
thin bow of the Crescent cut proba-
bly, three feet into his boat, about ten
feet from the stern, cutting her cellar
through from rail to bottom.
An inquiry by the local board gov
erning marine affairs will be held to
fix the responsibility The engineer
on the Carmichael was slightly injur-
ed by a plank thrown by the Crescent
during the collision. The accident
took place ten miles down the river
from Palatka, just beyond Federal
Point, at o'clock Friday morning.
There was very light haze only on

A fire alarm sounded shortly after
4 o'clock Sunday morning, and imme-
diately a big blaze shot up in the
north end of town. It was the Sea-
board restaurant, the roof of which
was burning merrilyywhen the firemen
reached it, but they laid two lines of
hose and had the fire under control in
a few minutes. The roof of the build
ing looks like sitter, and the fire
chief estimates the damage at about
33 per cent. The restaurant is in
charge of Mr.. Charles Rodoff, who
despite the damage from fire and
water, was serving lunches yester-
day. Mr.. Rodoff says he thinks the
fire was caused by cinder from one
of the passing engines.
