was forward and in the most daItCer-
Gus place, the Holy Man ordered the
helmsman to 'luff,' thus bringing the
ship into the gale. AS the helmsman
did not obey that murderous order
so the captain gave roar, he ran
up, grabbed the wheel and "luffed."
The ship ran into the gale; she
buried her nose into the sea; she
trembled; decks shivered underfoot;
bulwarks shuddered; rigging shook;
the sails howled she sobbed and
groaned. She rolled; she lurched
drunkenly into a gloomy trough;
watery grave yawned it closed
and swallowed-and the poor soldier
was never seen againl
Captain Jock, having heard that
the soldier was lost, sent a general
call for all hands to come aft. And
there, while in an excited and plain
tive voice bemoaning the loss of the
good, old soldier man." for the re-
pose of whose soul he also asked us
to kneel down and pray, he at the
same time made charge of murder
against the helmsman and had him
promptly put in irons and chained to
a stanchion.
The police patrol boat came out
on our arrival The gorrilas bounced
upon the unfortunate helmsman,
who handcuffed and chained like a
desperate, was thrown into the boat
as a log. Ashore into a dungeon he
was cast. The keeper locked the
door and pitched the key into the
ocean.

 Under the contemplated regula- tions, prohibition agents would be forbidden the company of women in gathering evidence against night clubs or in any other enforcement activity.

 Night clubs sometimes are re- luctant to admit men unless &C., companied by women.
