The captain had emptied his re
volver and was reloading an the
charge was made The second mate S
gun had damned, and so there We're
hut two weapons opposed 70 the mu
tineers as they rapidly approached
the officers, who now started to give
back before the Infatuated rush Of
their men.
Both sides were cursing and swear
ing in Il frightful manner. which,
together with the reports Of tho
firearms and the screams and grOans
Of the wounded, turned the deck OF
the Fuwalda to the likeness Of q
madhouse.
Before the officers had taken n
dozen backward steps the men were
upon them. An ak in the hands of
burly negro cleft the captain from
forehead to chin. and nm instant
later the others We're down; dead or
wounded from. dozens Of blows and
bullet wounds.
Short and grisly had been the
work Of the mutineers Of the Flu
walda. and through it all John Clay
ton had stood leaning carelessly be
side the cOmpanionway pulling medi
tatively upon his pipe as though he
had been watching an Indifferent
cricket match.
AS the last officer went down he
bethOught him that II was time that
he returned TO his wife lest some
member OF the crew find her alone
below.
Though outwardly calm and indif
ferent. Clayton was inwardly appre
hensive and wrought up. for he
| feared for his wife's safety at the
| hands Of these ignorant, half-brutes
into whose hands fate had SO re
morselessly thrown them.
As he turned TO descend the lad
der he was surprised to see his willie
standing on the steps almost at his
side
How long have you been here

awful. What can We hope for a

smiling bravely in an attempt tt

AT least" he added. I'm going
| to ask them. Come with me. Alice
We must not let them think we ex
pect any but courteous treatment.
The men had by this time sur
rounded the dead and wounded Off
GERS, and without either partially
or compassion proceeded to throw
both living and dead over the side:
of the vessel. With equal heartless
ness they disposed of their owl
wounded and the bodies of the three
sailors to whom a merciful Provi
dence had vouchsafed instant death
before the bullets of the officers.
Presently one of the crew spiet

cry Of; Here's two more for the
fishes" rushed them with uplifted
AK
But BLACK Michael was even
quicker, so that tho fellow went
down with n bullet IN his back be
fore he had taken a half dozen steps.
With a loud roar. Black Michael
attracted the attention OF the 9th
ers, and. pointing to Lord and Lady
Greystoke. cried:
These here are my friends, and
they are to be left alone. D. ye un-
derstand?
I'm captain Of this ship. an
what / says goes" he added, turn.
ing to Clayton. Just keep to your
selves, and nobodyH harm ye," and
he looked threateningly on his fel-
lows.
The Claytons needed Black
Michael's instructions so well that
they saw but little Of the crew and
knew nothing OF the plans the men
were making.
Occasionally they heard faint
echoes Of brawls and quarreling
among the mutineers, and on two oc.
casions the vicious bark of firearms
rang out on the still air. But Black
Michael was a fit leader for this
heterogeneous band of cutthroats.
and, withal held them In fair sub.
lection to his rule.
On the fifth day following the
murder OF the ships officers, land
was sighted by the lookout. Whether
island or mainland. Black Michael
did not know, but he announced to
Clayton that IL Investigation showed
that the place was habitable he and
Lady GreystOke were to be put
ashore with their belongings.
You'll be all right there for a
few months" he explained, land by
that time we'll have been able to
make an inhabited coast somewheres
and scatter a bit Then I'll see that
yer governments notified where you
be an they'll soon send a man-o' war

you may be all right, but 1t
would be a hard matter to land you
In civilization without lot O. ques-
tons being asked, an none O. us
here has any very convincin'
answers up our sleeves"
Clayton demonstrated against the
inhumanity Of landing them upon
an unknown shore to be left to the
mercies Of savage beasts, and, pos
sibly, still more savage men.
But his words were of no avail,
and only tended to anger Black
Michael, so he was forced to desist
and make HE best he could of bad
| situation.

 The pair are John Davis, 12 years old, 304A Twentieth street, south, and Frank Harrell, II, 2205 Sixth avenue, south.

WINNING BATTLE IS BEING WAGED
 AGANSTDISEASE
Smallpox Being Eradi' cated, But Danger. Still,
 Lurking

Grimly the workers of. the city-ceunty health department are waging their fight against smallpox in Birmingham and Jefferson county. .s ,-. "a
 Since January there have been 13S cases reported. For while there were ten new, cases A day, now there are not more than half that many daily and the situation is believed under con trol. .Y
 Just what the work has been can be glimpsed from. the results obtain ed by Miss, Bettie Gross, school nurse of the bureau of communicable diseases. Miss Gross has yaccinated 1000 ehil4 dren this year. ;,'
 Monday Miss Gross found a "sus- ject" in grammar school in W0od- lawn, sent the child honae and the case is now under surveillance. H. D. Perkins, director of the com municable diseases bureau has; quit his office and joined the field workers giving vaccination. All cases and vac cinations are recorded, but statistics, compiled, have gone by the board while the real work is to do.
 Mrs. I. H. Sloan of the office staff has been nearly as busy as the field workers she yaccinates those who come to the office. @
 Tt not varioloid, chicken pox or any sort of ''itis,'" the workers say, "but real. old fashioned, abominable smallpox, and the public might as well knowf realize it. and get busy in the fight, or stand ready to go through life with pitted faces" e5 a.,
 It will take public cooperation to eradicate the disease. Being great business center, Birmingham, like any other large city, is open to the danger of reinfection. Vaccination, therefore, authorities say, is the one and only remedy. -s> .' =
 Vaccination, though each vaccine point costs 15 cents, is given free, and bad arms will get free attention,' should they develop. ''. :. As far as Birmingham and it's, en- virons go, the malady is being elim- mated. The first, alarm is past, but, despite that, there were 25 new cases reported in the city along up to Tues day, and the only way. to prevent more, the authorities say, is to be vaccinated
