S. could see nothing-for the moment, but -these two furious, encrimsoned faces, -swaying together under the smoky Lamp; and I shut my eyes to let them grraw once more familiar with the darkness. The endless ballad h;id come to an eml at last, and the whole diminished company about the campfire had broken iuto the chorus I had heard so often: "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest — Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! tlrtclc and the devil had done for the rest— Ta-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" t was just thinking how busy drink «nii the devil were at that very moment ftt the cabin of the "Ilispaniola," when 1 was surprised by a sudden lurch of the «»raoie.

All round ifu.e. were little ripples, combing over with a sharp, bristling sound and slight ly phosphorescent. The "Ilispaniola" liM-aclf, a few yards in whose wake I W.MS still being whirled along, seemed -to stagger in her course, and I saw her spare toss a little against the black neatioftheniglit; nay.asllooked longer, I otade sure she also was wheeling to the southward. I glanced over my shoulder, and my lieoxt jumped against my ribs. There, right behind me, was the glow of the eampfire. The current had turned at Tight angles, sweeping round along w-ich it the tall schooner and the little •dancing coracle; ever quickening, ever bubbling-higher, ever muttering louder, went spinning through the narrows f.or the open sea. Suddenly the schooner in front of me fgptmt a violent yaw, turning, perhaps, - thsryjgh 20 degrees; and almost at the < same moment one shout followed an other from on board; I could hear feet pounding on the companion ladder; and £ knew that the two drunkards had at la#fe been interrupted in their quarrel 4trtd awakened to a sense of their dis aster.

Gradually weatciuess grew upon me; a numbness, ma occasional stupor, fell upon my mind *rvra in the midst of my terrors; until sleep at last intervened, and in my sea to&acd coracle I lay and dreamed of home and the old Admiral Benbow. CHAPTER XXIV. THE CRUISE OF THE CORACLE. It was broad day when I awoke, and found myself tossing at the southwest txd of Treasure island. The sun was •up, but was still hid from me behind "fch«s great bulk of the Spy -glass, which on this side descended almost to the sea-fa formidable cliffs. fjaulbowline Head and Mizzenmast Hill were at my elbow; the hill bare and dark, the head bound with cliffs 40 or iSO Cee,t high and fringed with great .•enanses of fallen rock. 1 was scarce a -quarter of a mile to seaward, and it Mil my first thought to paddle in and land. notion was soon given over .Arao,<g the fallen rocks the breakers spouted and bellowed; loud reverbera tions. heavy sprays flying and falling, succeeded one another from second to • second, and I saw myself, if I ventured nearer, dashed to death upon the rough --«th<sre or spending my strength in vain to ocale the beetling crags. IStor was that all; for, crawling to gether on flat tables of rock or letting tJuemselves drop into the sea with loud reports, I beheld huge slimy monsters —soft snails, as it were, of incredible 'Myuefis—two or three score of them to r. making the rocks echo with their- barkings. C Slave understood since that they were sea lions and entirely harmless. Butt the look of them, added to the difficulty of the shore and the high running of the surf, was more than enough to disgust me of that landing place. I felt willing rather to starve IH.. sea than to confront such perils. In the meantime I had a better j chance, as I supposed. North of Haul bowline Head the land runs in a long way, leaving at low tide a long stretch of yellow sand. To the north of that, again, there comes another cape—Cape of the Woods, as it was marked upon the chart—buried in tall green pines, which descended to the margin of the sea. I remembered what Silver had said about the current that sets northward along the whole west coast of Treasure island; and seeing from my position that I was already under its influence, I preferred to leave Haulbowline Head behind me, and reserve my strength for an attempt to land upon the kindlier looking Cape of the Woods. There was a great, smooth swell upon the sea. The wind blowing steady and gentle from the south, there was no contrariety between that and the cur rent, and the billows rose and fell un broken. Had it been otherwise, I must long ago have perished; but as it was, it is surprising how easily and securely- my little and light boat-could ride. Often, as I still lay at the bottom, and kept no more than an eye above the gunwale, I would see a big blue summit heav ing close above me; yet the coracle would but bounce a little, dance as if on springs, and subside on the other side into the trough as lightly as a bird. I began after a little to grow very bold, and sat up to try my skill at pad dling. But even a small change in the disposition of the weight will produce violent changes in the behavior of a cor acle. And I had hardly moved before the boat, giving up at once her gentle, dancing movement, ran straight down a slope of water so steep that it made me giddy, and struck her nose, with a spout of spray, deep into the side of the next wave. I was drenched and terrified, and fell instantly back into my old position, whereupon the coracle seemed to find her head again, and led me softly as be fore among the billows. It was plain she was not to be interfered with, and at that rate, since I could in no way in fluence her course, what hope had I left of reaching land ? I began to be horribly frightened, but I kept my head, for all that. First, moving with all care, I gradually bailed out the coracle with my sea-cap; then getting my eye once more above the gunwale, I set myself to study how it was she managed to slip so quietly through the rollers. I found each wave, instead of the big, smooth, glossy mountain it looks from shore, or from a vessel's deck, was for all the world like any range of hills on the dry land, full of peaks and smooth places and valleys. The coracle, left to herself, turning from side to side, threaded, so to speak, her way through these lower parts, and avoided the steep slopes and higher, toppling sum mits of the wave. "Well, now," thought I to myself, "it is plain I must lie where I am, and not disturb the balance; but it isplain, also, that I can put the paddle over the side, and from time to time, in smooth places, give her a shove or two toward land." No sooner thought upon than done. There I lay on my elbows, in the most trying attitude, and every now and again gave a weak stroke or two to turn her head to shore. It was very tiring and slow work, yet I did visibly gain ground, and as we drew near the Cape of the Woods, though I saw I must infallibly miss that point, I had still made some hun dred yards of easting. I was, indeed, close in. I could see the cool, green tree-tops swaying together in the breeze, and I felt sure I should make the next promontory without fail. It was high tinve, for I now began to be tortured with thirst. The glow , of the sun from above, its thousand fold reflection from the waves, the sea water that fell and dried upon me, cak ing my very lips with salt, combined to make my throat burn and my brain acne. The sight of the trees so near at hand had almost made me sick with longing; but the current had soon car ried me past the point, and as the next reach of the 6ea opened out I beheld a sight that changed the nature of my thoughts. Right in front of me, not half a mile away, I beheld the "Hispaniola," under sail. I made sure, of course, that 1 should be taken; but I was so dis tressed for want of water that 1 scarce knew whether to be glad or sorry at the thought, and long before I had come to a conclusion surprise had taken en tire possession of my mind and I could do nothing but stare and wonder. The "Hispaniola" waS under her mainsail and two jibs, and the beautiful white canvas shone in the sun like snow or silver. When I first sighted her all her sails were drawing; she was lying a course about northwest, and 1 presumed the men on board wero go ing round the island on their way back to the anchorage. Presently she began to fetch more and more to the west ward, so that I thought they had sight ed me and were going about in chase. At last, however, she fell right into the wind's eye, was taken dead aback, and stood there awhile help'ess, with her sails shivering. "Clumsy fellows," said I, "they must still be drunk as owls." And I thought how Capt. Smollett would have set theru skipping. Meanwhile the schooner gradually fell off. and filled again upon another tack, sailed swiftly "for a minute or so, and brought up once more dead in the wind's eye. Again and again was this repeated. To and fro, up and down, north, south, east and west the "Hispaniola" sailed by swoops and dashes, and at each repetition ended as she had begun, with idly flapping canvas. It became plain to me that nobody was steering. And, if so, where were the men? Either they were dead drunk or had deserted her, I thought, and perhaps if 1 could get on board I might return the vessel to her cap tain. The current was bearing coracle and schooner southward at an equal rate, i As for the later's sailing, it was so wild CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, rHURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1898. and intermittent, and she hung each time so long in irons, that she certain ly gained nothing, if she did not even lose. If only I dared to sit up and pad dle I made wire that I could overhaul her. The scheme had an air of adven ture that inspired me, and the thought of the water breaker beside the fore companion doubled my growing cour age. Up I got, was welcomed almost in stantly by another cloud of spray, but this time stuck to my purpose, and set myself with all iny strength and cau tion to paddle after the unsteered "Ilis paniola." Once I shipped a sea so heavy that I had to stop and bail, with my heart fluttering like a bird; butgradual ly I got into the vray of the thing, and guided my coracle among the waves, with only now and then a blow upon her bows and a dash of foam in my face. I was now rapidly gaining on the schooner; I could see the brass glisten on the tiller as it banged about, and still no soul appeared upon her decks. 1 could not choose but suppose she was deserted. If not, tbe men were lying drunk below, where I might bat ten thein down, perhaps, and do what I chose with the ship. For some time she had been doing the worst thing possible form still. She headed nearly due south, yawing, of course, all the time. Each time she fell off her sails partly filled, and these brought her, in a moment, right to the wind again. I have said this was the worst thing possible for me; for helpless as she looked in this situation, with the canvas crackling like cannon, and the blocks trundling and banging on the deck, she still con tinued to run away from me, notonlv with the speed of the current, but by the whole amount of her leeway, which was naturally great. But now, at last, I had my chance. The breeze fell, for some seconds, very low, and the current gradually turning her, the "Hispaniola" revolved slowly round her center, and at last presented me her stern, with the cabin window still gapingopen, and the lamp over the table still burning on into the day. The mainsail hung drooped like a ban ner. She was stock-still, but for the current. For the last little while I had even lost; but now, redoubling my efforts, I began once more to overhaul the chase. I was not a hundred yards from her when the wind came again in a clap; she filled on the port tack, and was off again, stooping and skimming like a swallow. My first impulse was one of despair, but my second was toward joy. Hound she came, till she was broadside onto me—round still till she had covered a half, and then two-thirds, and then three-quarters of the distance that separated us. I could see the wares boiling white under her forefoot. Im mensely tall she looked to me from my low station in the coracle. And then, of a sudden, I began to comprehend. I had scarce time to think —scarce time to act and save myself. I was 011 the summit of one swell when the schooner came stooping over the next. The bowsprit was over my head. I sprung' to my feet, and leaped, stamp ing the coracle underwater. With one hand I caught the jib-boom, while my foot was lodged between the stay and the brace; and as I still clung there panting a dull blow told me that the schooner had charged down upon and struck the coracle, and that I was left without retreat on the "Hispaniola." ' CHAPTER XXV. I STRIKE THE JO LEY ROGER. I had scarce gained a position on the bowsprit, when the flying jib flapped and filled upon the other tack, with a report like a gun. The schooner trem bled to her keel under the reverse; but next moment, the other sails still drawing the jib flapped back again, and hung idle. This had nearly tossed me off into the sea; and now I lost no time, crawled back along the bowsprit, and tumbled head-foreinost on the deck. I was on the lee side of the forecastle, and the mainsail, which was still draw ing, concealed from me a certain por tion. of the after-deck. Not a soul was to be seen. The planks, which had not been swabbed since the mutiny, bore the print of many feet; and an empty bottle, broken by the neck, tumbled to and fro like a live thing in the scuppers. Suddenly the "Hispaniola" came right into the wind. The jibs behind me cracked aloud; the rudder slammed to; the whole ship gave a sickening heave and shudder, and at the same moment the main-boom swung in board, the sheet groaning in the blocks, and showed me the lee after-deck. There were the two watchmen, sure enough; red-cap on his back, as stiff as a handspike, with his arms stretched out like those of a crucifix, and his teeth showing through his open lips; Israel Hands propped against the bul warks, his chin on his chest, his hands ly r ing open before him on the deck, his face as white, under its tan, as a tal low candle. For awhile the ship kept bucking and . sidling like a vicious horse, the sails filling, now on one tack, now on an other, and the boom swinging to and fro till the mast groaned aloud under the strain. Now and again, too, there would come a cloud of light spray over the bulwark, and a heavy blow of the ship's bows against the swell—so much heavier weather was made of it by this great rigged ship than by my home made, lop-sided coracle, now gone to the bottom of the sea. At every jump of the schooner, red cap slipped to and fro; but—what was ghastly to behold—neither his attitude nor his fixed teeth-disclosing grin was any way disturbed by this rough usage. At every jump, too, Handa appeared still more to sink into himself and set tle down upon the deck, his feetsliding ever the further out, and the whole body canting toward the stern, so that his face became, little by little, hid from me; and at last I could see noth- ing beyond his ear and the frayed ring let of one whisker. At the same time, I observed, around both of them, splashes of dark blood upon the planks, and began to feel sure that they had killed each other in their drunken wrath. While I was thus looking and won dering, in a calm moment, when the ship was still, Israel Hands turned part ly round, and, with a low moan, writhed himself back to the position in which I had seen him first. The moan, which told of pain and deadly weakness, and the way in which his jaw hung open, went right to my heart. Hut when I ; remembered the talk I had overheard I from the apple barrel, all pity left me. I walked att until I reached themain -1 mast. | "Come al»oard, Mr. Hands," I said, I ironically. I He rolled his eyes round heavily; but he was too far gone to express surprise. All he could do was to utter one word: "Brandy." It occurred to me there was no time to lose; and. dodging the boom as it once more lurched across the deck, I slipped aft, and down the companion stairs into the cabin. It was such a scene of confusion as you can hardly fancy. All the lockfast places had been broken open in quest of the chart. The floor was thick with mud, where ruffians had sat down to drink or consult after wading in the marshes round their camp. The bulk heads, all painted in clear white, auri beaded round with gilt, bore a pattern of dirty hands. Dozens of empty bot tles clinked together in corners to the rolling of the ship. One of the doctor's medical books lay open on the table, half of the leaves gutted out, I suppose for pipe-lights. In the midst of all this the lamp still east a smoky glow, ob scure and brown as umber. I went into the cellar; all the barrels were gone, and of the bottles a most surprising number had been drunk out and thrown away. Certainly, since th« mutiny began, not a man of them could ever have been sober. [TO BH CONTINUED.] HOW VICTORIA AVERTED WAR. Famous Inclilrnl of tlir Krlirlliuitllr. latfd Anew. During the American civil war two envoys of the confederate states, Messrs. Mason and Slidell, were seized on board an English ship. This insult to the British flag could not be passed over, and a disastrous war between Eng land and the northern states of the American union seemed inevitable. The prince consort was at that time sink ing under his fatal illness, but not withstanding the anxiety of the queen 011 his account, her mind was unceas ingly active to devise means of prevent ing war. We are in a position to state on the authority of one of the most prominent statesmen of our time and one who had the honor of enjoying in a special manner the confidence of her majesty, that it was the queen herself, in opposition to the views of her min isters and of the distinguished man in question among them, who averted the war. Sh* insisted that the dispatch which was sent to America demanding peremptorily the surrender of the en voys should be communicated at once to all the powers and the grave conse quences of the conflict from an interna tional point of view pointed out. The result wa| an able state paper sent to Washington by Mr Thouvenel. in which he stated that France regarded the act of the American captain who had arrested the confederate envoys on board an English ship as quite unjusti fiable and expressed the hope that the federal government would accede to the demands of Great Britain. Austria and Prussia immediately followed suit, and I'rinee Gortschakoff, on the part of Rus sia, urged President Lincoln to sur render the emoys without delay and with such an explanation as would sat isfy English national feeling. These re monstrances from the powers enabled the government of Washington to es cape without humiliation from an un tenable position and saved England from entering into a war which would in all human probability have ended in the disruption of the American union and sown the seeds of deathless en mity between England and the progres sive and powerful northern states.— Quarterly Review.

V-'hy Cheap Methods of Constructioa Should in Xo Clreuiiistuiicen lie Employed. When making a cistern the same rules as to doing the work in the best possible manner apply as when build ing a house. If expenditure cannot be afforded to make a large reservoir, without cheapening the work, make it small and perfect. There are, of course, some methods of construction cheaper than others, and the cheaper as good as the more expensive, so far as utility is concerned, the extra out lay being for surface appearance. There may be cases where they have stood well made in this way, but it is risky. Build up good brick walls, well cemented, and use a stone cap and then you have a certainty. When the size for the cistern has been deter mined upon, take a stick—a strip of board—and bore two holes through it as far apart as half the circumfer ence of the place to be dug, then through these holes drive pins a few inches long-, and use this as a sweep for marking the circle upon the sur face. Dig- down, making the sides as smooth and true as possible. If the cistern is to be jug shaped, begin to draw in when half the desired depth has been reached. A flat stone should be putin the bottom, if convenient to do so, with a basin dug out of the cen ter; then the brick wall, commenced at the margin of the basin. Do not use soft bricks. Sooner or later they will slack down from moisture absorbed from the soil, and make the cement on the water surface unsecure. Use aryh brick, at least those that are made from good clay and well baked. One can readily tell by the looks or testing with a hammer whether fit for use in a cistern or not. After laying the bricks in good cement, the wall should be coated with plaster, made as follows: Clear, sharp sand, well screened, two parts, and water, cement, one part.— Western Plowman.
