Robert Cecil. in behalf Of the Brit
ish government in his reply to what
he characterizes as misstatements in
last weeks German note, calls atten-
tion to the fact that no neutral citizen
has lost his life in consequence Of the
measures taken by Great Britain
against German trade. The British
minister might have gone even further
and said that only in one or two cases
of unavoidable accident the life Of
no noncombatant German has been
on the high seas. 1t has been the
practice Of the British Admiralty
when capturing German merchantmen
to respect the lives of passengers and
crews. British submarines have oper-
ated against German ships in the
Baltic and have sunk many. There
have been no tales of horror. When
the vessel was to be sunk time has
been allowed for launching of boats
and embarkation. With respect to
the passenger ferries between Sweden
and Denmark and German ports the
practice has been to let them alone.
The British government also calls
attention to the following events and
their dates. In September, 1914, in
the second month of the war, the
Dutch vessel Maria. from California
to Dublin and Belfast, laden with
grain for the civil population, was
sunk by the German cruiser the
! Karlsruhe. On October 26. 1914 the

ed refugees from Belgium. was at

own existence. II he had ever lived

knew he lived, because periodically

Just now he stared straight before
him through the gates of the crum
bling walls. The high priest followed
his glance.
Suddenly the high priest started and
held high his hand. A group of Aztec
warriors answered the summons. In
crude uneven order this crowd rushed
through the gates and stood at bay.
Across the clearing was another group

Meantime things had happened.
Outside the fort there was camped a
gang of about fifty insurrectos. Many
were wounded; all seemed to be in
tatters.
They had with them three Ameri-
canos. One was Joe Welcher, who
sat sullenly upon the ground smoking
a cigarette. Inez Castro was also in
evidence. The third Americana was
Neal Hardin's mother. She was the
subject Of considerable discussion, for

He leaned too far, not for his own
safety, but for the safety of some OF
his belongings. A paper packet wrig-
gled easily and joyously out OF his
breast pocket and slipped easily and
joyously down the cliff, landing almost
at Annette's feet
The brute turned suddenly, darted
forward, stretched forth q huge hand
and 5erked Neal from his precarious
position up to the ledge-up to safety.
The three stood there clinging to
the side OF the cliff; the brute pant
ing with wonder, Neal and Annette
painting with relief. Suddenly Annette
stopped and picked up a packet that
lay at her feet. She uttered a little
cry Of recognition-and with good
cause.
It was the Identifying map-part OF
the evidence that linked her with the
lost Isle of Cinnabar.
Ten minutes later Neal flung up
his hands and cheered-and with good
cause. Over the brow of hill, clam
bering like mad, there swarmed up
through the jungle a crowd of United
States marines.
Hernandez and Ponto saw them
from above and with wild oaths turned
and incontinently fed. The brute,
obeying sudden impulse, crept swift
ly along the ledge and followed his re-
treating masters.
