Martin saluted and went forard.
My great-uncle led US to the poop.
"Your old sailor is eke much of an
old woman into the bargain" he re-
marked perfunctorily, climbing the
sta'bd ladder ahead of me. 'Let him

"O'Donnell was right, it seems, when

Captain Flint is making better going

A cloud of smoke rolled aft as the
long eighteen on the la'b'd side of
the James fo'csle doomed The shot
dashed up fountain Of water a few
feet ahead of the Walrus, which was
now running neck and neck with us.
Flint replied with one Of his long
twelves, but the shot fell short and he
edged away as much as he dared,
which was very little, for Murray had
seen to 1t that he had bare sailing
room. Our chase-gun barked again,
and this time the round shot rico
cheted from the waters surface and
slapped into the Walrus' hull.
"Neat," commented my great-uncle !;
"but what we require is a fair hit on

Coupeau realized as much, as was
evidenced by his next two shots going

Indians Burned Cool

Coal, as the advertisement SAYS,

here is an oddity about coal known TO

Jesuits travelling westward through
Canada as early as 1860 found Indians
burning coal instead of wood. In ''The

coal as fuel anywhere in America.
Describing the Poualak nation,
which was a fierce and warike peo-
pie, the Jesuits made this ofserva-

small In size in their country, nature
has taught them to make fire with coal

Murray staggered to his feet and

SO much I understood, and assisted
him to slash the rope which bound
us to the deck. Peter saw what we
were up to and loosed himself, taking
care in his deliberate fashion to
strengthen Moiras lashings. Then
the three Of US fought our way down
into the hell-reek of the waist, where
small boats and water-butts and dead
men swirled fore and aft in a torrent
of pounding seas.
There were axes In the box from
which I had procured the rope, and
we equipped ourselves with them,
waded thigh deep through the tangle
of water and wreckage and attacked
the maze Of stays and rigging that
united the dangling mizzenmast to the
ship. Not man helped us. There
was not living man in sight aft Of
the mainmast, and 1t was as much
as mans life was worth to try to
work aft Of that point, for on the
one side there was a wide breach in
the bulwarks through which the waves
poured, and opposite was the gap the
mizzenmast had crushed. Whoever
crossed the deck there must have been
carried overheard, one way or the
other.

was bent over in the odd, huddled

sidewise as my great-uncle grasped
his shoulder, his body all askew from

made no response, and slipped lower
in the coils of rope that bound him
to his post; his gnarled fingers slid
off the spokes, his feet went out from

where he was questioned about his
movements the morning scrlvener
was killed. 1t quickly developed that
was merely for the purpose of going
to his place of employment.
Surprised that his name should have
been dragged into the case, the man
readily consented to submit to any

even went so far as to permit the

quickly developed that the prints TAX

He was thanked and released.

IENINAkAN, Armenia, October
23.-Many persons were killed ana
scores injured and the whole popula~
tion was thrown into panic by an
earthc .uake which shook all of
Armenia late last night.
Many houses collapsed, telegraph
wires We're wrecked, trees uprooted
and cattle killed.
There was no loss of life among
the large personnel of the American
Near East Relief or the 5000 Ar
menian orphans under its care.
This was due to the sturdy construc-
tion of the old stone CZarist Military
Barracks in which they are housed
and the splendid discipline main
tained by the Americans among the
children.
Relieving that Mount -Ararat, only
short distance away, was III efup-
fion, the inhabitants rushed in panic
from their homes. They were soon
reassured by the American doctors
and nurses attached to the Near East
Relief, who. by their prompt action
and cool demeanor. preserved ad-
mirabe order throughout the town.
Inhabitants of the slopes of Mount
Ararat fell to their knees, praying
for deliverance from the calamity
while others rushed TO the churches.
