CHAPTER v.

But my first night In the hunters
steerage was also my last. Next day
Johansen. the new mate, was routed
from the cabin by Wolf Larsen. and
sent into the steerage to sleep there
after. while took possession of the
tiny cabin stateroom. which. on the
first day Of the voyage. had already
had two occupants. The reason for
this change was quickly learned by
the hunters, and became the cause Of
great deal OF grumbling on their
part. 1t seemed that Johansen. In his
sleep. lived over each night the events
of the day. His incessant talking and
shouting and believing of orders had
been too much for Wolf Larsen. who
had accordingly foisted the nuisance
upon his hunters.
After a sleepless night, arose. weak

When | turned around. a moment

20 his feet. His face was CHASTITY

WAR RELICS HELD OF VALUE
Gruesome Mementoes That Have
Brought High Prices When Dis
posed OF at Auction Sales.

There was sold by auction a few
years ago the spear that was used
by rebel dervish to kill General Cor
don.
On another occasion the sword used

aclava was disposed of at the same
auction mart.
A very different war relic realized
a very different price. This was the
sIlver-gilt table service used by Ma
poleon in the course Of his many
campaigns. and it went for s3.250.
A really extraordinary war relic
was brought to light in an English
court some years ago. A woman ap-
piled to the magistrate for a sum-
mons against pawnbroker for dam
age to a hearthrug. She explained
that during a campaign on the Indian
frontier. her son had made a large
hearthrug out of the garments of his
slain comrades, and sent 1t home to
her.
A few years ago q relic OF the
siege of Paris was discovered in a
windmill near Besancon. This was
the mummihed body OF a pigeon. to
one OF the wings OF which quill
was attached. Inside this was a
brief message. dated 1870. which
read
"Darling-All well. but starving
P. P. G." The pigeon was one of the
homers which had been released dur
ing the siege. and maybe shot BY the
Germans.

CHASTITY freight. carried II to the lee

feet pointing overheard. To the feet
was attached the sack Of coal which
