Even after allowing for the expendl-

blunt nose riverward and for briet
period essayed some towing and gener-
al freIghting on the Sacramento ana
San Joaquin. It was unprofitable'
however, and at last Captain Scraggs
was forced to lay his darling little
Maggie up and take a lob MS chiei
officer of the ferry steamer Encinal,
plying between Sun Francisco and Oak
land. In the meantime, Mr.. McGuf'
fey, after two barren months "on the
beach," landed a job as second assist
ant on a Standard Oil tanker running
to the west coast. while thrifty Neils
Halyorsen Invested the savings Of ten
years In bay scow known as the Will
lie and Annie, arrogated to himself
the title Of captain, and proceeded to
freight hay. grain and paving stones
from Petaluma.
The old joyous days of the green
pea trade were gone forever, and many
n night. rs Captain Scraggs paced
the deck of the ferryboat, watching
the ferry tower loom into view. or the
scattered lights along the Alameda
shore, he thought longingly Of the old
Maggie, laid away, perhaps forever, and
slowly rotting In the muddy waters of
the Sacramento. And he thought OF
Mr.. Gibney, too, away off under the
trOpic stars, leading the care-free life
of real sailor at last. and Of Bar

absolute secrecy, and made him swear
by the honor Of his mother and the
bones Of his father not to divulge a
word of what he was about to tell him.
Scab Johnny was short and to the
point. He stated that, as Captain
,Scraggs was doubtless aware. If he
perused the daily papers at all. there
was revolution raging in Mexico.
His friend, Senior Lopez, represented
the under-dogs in the disturbance, and
was anxious to secure ship and a
nervy sea captain to land shipment
of arms In Lower California. 1t ap-
peared that at sale of condemned
army goods held at the arsenal at
BenicIa, Senor Lopez had, through
Scab Johnny. purchased two thousand
single-shOt Springfield rifles that had
been retired when the militia regiments
took up the Krag. The Krag in turn
having been replaced by the modern
magazine Springfield. the old single
shot Springhelds, with one hundred
