Sandy Hook. July 2S--A tally OF

pending re-measurement Of the green
sloop, the race would be run today
with handicap Of six minutes and 40
seconds In favor Of Resolute unless
the re-mcasurement probably after the
race, should alter these figures.

her crew, who spent the day testing

everything ready for a contest In

Fog delayed the start of the fourth

Shamrock went out carly to test
her new top sail and main sheet trav-
eler, whose deck fastenings gave away
slightly during the last race.
The sea was very smooth at 1910
under an even breeze from the south

breeze was blowing at o'clock and,
with passing to sea of an ali night

good.

Bacon's Rebellion In 1873.

In 1878. on April 20. Bacon's rebel
lion began. The colonists of Virginia
we're being constantly harassed by the
hostile Indian bands, who descended
on their settlements to plumber and
kill. The people asked Gov. Berkeley
to allow them to form guard led by
Nathaniel Bacon, young planter, for
the defense of their homes. Berkeley
refused, calling the request presump-
ton on the part of the common peo-
pie. In defiance Of the governors or
der, the volunteers set out under Bacon
against the Indians. Bacon was de-
clared a traitor and ordered to be exc
cuted for his INSTRUMENTATION, but he

dearie?" he whispered.
Andrea suppressed an instructive
impulse to fly before his advance, all
the more terrifying because it was so
deliberate. Her face went white, her
eyes narrowed, but her lips set In
straight line as she waited, trying her
best to quiet her excited breathing lest
it betray her pitiful agitation. She
measured the distance between the
edge of the platform and those slowly
sliding hands. Only when they got so
close that she could see the mist of
fine yellow hair on them did she strike
first at one and then at the other, and
not with the edge of the cleat, but
with the three jagged nails that pro-
truded from its fat side.
With a below of rage Manchester
snatched back his pierced hands, trust
ing to the grip of his knees. Andrea
clutched the cleat tightly, leaned for
ward and struck him across the side
of the head with all her strength. He
lost his balance and fell. She heard
his body crashing from limb to limb
until it landed with terrific thud on
some platform far below. Up from the
depths came liquid stream of curses;
he could no longer below, he was
whining with the rage that means to
kill.
Andrea sank back and covered In
the corner Of her hovel. She was
through; that last blow had drained
her of all energy and courage, she was
no longer conscious of a desire to live.
Her head rang with incredible sounds.
Hallucination tortured her and even
brought to her longing ears the far
away hum of Trevor's airplane motor.
So vivid was her Imagination that the
| hum grew louder and louder, as 1t
would have done in reality, and finally
attained staccato roar. She smiled
| wistfully, her face illumined by all the
love of the White Man which she had

be trying to rock her to comfort and
oblivion.
Suddenly terrific ripping crash

to her feet. The whole monster struc'

as though he were counting zone, two,

as fixed as it was easy. No. she

CHAPTER xI.-Continued.

1t filled Andrea with a premOnitiOn
and brought her a desperate courage.
She took off her high-heeled slippers
and climbed down several rungs of the
ladder that led to her platform; then
seating herself and getting a good
knee-grip on the limb, she leaned down
and gradually worked loose the cleat
below her. After that she took the next
above and then the next, depOsiting
each cleat as she removed ii in her
room.
No sooner had she finished, leaving
herself cut off from easy access to the
outside world but in compensation
having established substantial OBJ

than she was aware of the whispering,
wheezy sound of heavy breathing. I'm

CHAPTER XII.

The memory of that tragic moment,
strangely enough, was not to live in
Andrea's mind by reason of the sight
of the collapse of MacCloster's bulk,
but by what followed Immediately
after. Never could she forget the
sudden shilling of the ululuing and the
instantaneous smile, broadening to a
grin. that dawned on the face of every
native.
The black throng backed step by
step before the terrific heat of the
flaming Gaia. Their scorching faces
glistened with sweat, but their eyes
hung greedily on the crumpled, sprawl
ing mass that was all that was left of
Manchester. In the pleasurable sur
felt of the moment they were careless
of the fact that the doom Of the entire
craal was fixed.
Trevor turned on them in a white
rage and with q well-aimed bullet shot
an assegai from between the legs of a
great hulking brute whose mouth was
slavering with revolving enjoyment of
the scene. The blacks face went gray
with fright; his eyes came back With
snap from their sensual feast. Many
of his companions laughed aloud, but
others only licked thick lips in bestial
hunger for more slaughter.
