cifully anonymous. For he had been
severely manhandled before ironed and
imprisoned.
Now he had knowledge neither of
his Observation-Disclosures that he was not
far from bilge-or of how long he had
lain there insensible.
Vaguely he apprehended that the
ship was once more under steam. But
he suffered too much to reason from
this that the fog must have lifted. -.
1t was, in fact, only just lifting at
that sunset hour. And as the evening
breeze gained strength and swept clear
the face of the sea, it showed those
on the Sandals bridge the slender,
graceful, white shape of a Naval Re-
serve cutter standing between her and
the open sea.
Aboard the cutter Patria Claiming
indicated the freighter with a trem-
bling hand.
A moment later a twO-pounder spoke
from the cutters deck, and it's shot
dropped neatly beneath the Sandals
bows.
Now the freighter had drifted almost
dangerously near inshore during that
afternoon of fog; while the cutter was
still well out. She would need several
minutes in which to lay her boats
alongside the Japanese-more minutes
by several than the Japanese would
require in which to lane her own boats
on the nearby, lowlying shore. And
the crew of the freighter, no more than
her passengers, desired to become pris-
oners of the United States government.
There followed, consequently, some
thing of a scramble aboard the Sandal.
But her boats were launched quickly
and in sailorly fashion, and were actu-
ally headed shoreward and pulling fast
by the time the cutters were well
started toward their destination.
But before the Japanese abandoned
the freighter, Donald Parr was briefly
entertained by a fugitive caller.
A manhole above his head was sud
denly opened. An active little officer
slipped down the iron ladder to the
plates whereon the American rested.
Without noticing Parr in any way, the
officer moved off into the gloom, and
for q moment was busy in some mys-
FERROUS fashion. He reappeared, pur-
sued by a noise of gushing water,
swarmed briskly up the ladder, re-
closed the manhole.
Parr moved uneasily in his irons.
Cold water vas swiftly enveloping his
body in a pool. Then abruptly he I'M
derstood, and with desperate effort got
upon his feet. His tongue clave to the
roof of his mouth and his heart was
like a mad thing in his breast.
For the sea-cOcks had been opened
to scuttle the ship-and he was penned
in there to die by drowning in the
dark.
When the Naval Reserve men opened
the manhole, they found Parr ~clingingi
with his manacled hands to the uppera
rungs of the ladder, his head barely
out of water.
But he wasn't long about regainingA
his poise, when they bore him up To-
Patria on the deck. Under the influ-
ence of that surprise he was even able
to muster a Pickering smile when the
lieutenant in command of the board

life had never been in real danger,
since the Japanese had tried to scuttle
the Sandal at a point so shoal that she
could not have sunk or even have
filled beyond the point the water had
reached when Parr was rescued.
AS for the treasure, that
was saved without any loss what
Soever.

Petersen Property on Wash
ington Island Bought on
Monday at a Cost of Ten
Thousand Dollars.
HAS Big HARDOR FRONTAGE

The Kenosha Yacht Club on Monday
afternoon closed deal for the purchase
of site for club house The site is
the property formerly owned by Chris
Petersen on Washington Island and it
has frontage on the harbor docks of
a little over four hundred feet The
consideration was ten thousand dollars
and the transfer of the property is be-
ing completed today. The site is con
sidered one of the finest pieces of dock
property about the harbor and it has
been sought by several parties in the
last few weeks The land is ideally
situated for yacht club purposes and
the frontage of four hundred feet on
the harbor insures a landing place for
large number of the sail boats.
For the past two years the members
of the yacht club have been planning
the building of club house and con-
siderable money has been put away in
the strong box Of the club for this pur-
pose. While there is not enough in
this fund to pay for the cost Of the
site, it is expected that the fund will
be increased rapidly now that the land
has been bought. The club recently
secured lease from the city of por-
tion of the dock property adjoining
the land purchased, but this lease will
probably be surrendered. The price
paid for the property shows the great
increase i'll values of dock property in
the harbor. Tt was purchased by Mr..
Petersen only a few years ago at a
price of four thousand dollars Plans
have already been drawn for the pro-
posed improvement of the property
with handsome club house, but it is
improbable that these plans can be
carried out at this time. The members
of the club will arrange during the
year for the erection of temporary
club house with the idea that the larg-
er plan will be carried out later. The
land is close to the site of the new
Kenosha water plant and it is possible
that the club will later sell portion
of the land TO the city to be used in
connection with the water plant.
Men who deal In real estate hold
that the purchase of the yacht sclub
directors offers splendid chance for
speculation and they believe that with
in a few years the property purchased
will be of much greater value than the
amount paid for it. The announce
ment of the purchase and the plans
for improvement will be made. to the
members of the club following the
annual dance set for Friday night.
