It was the custom on such oocasions bluejacket as soon as he on the deck of the vessel, to turn hammer countenance of the gen- darme until he was pulled away. This port of thing had a tendency to make the gendarmes afraid to bring in de- serters and Evans determined to stop {iL In the presence of the gendarmes and their captives he announced his decision, The first bluejacket was re- leased, and promptly knocked his gen- darme flat, Evans picked up the gen darme's sword and struck down the sallor. Exactly the same performance was gone through with as each of the next six bluejackets was unshackled The eighth permitted his gendarme to go in peace. The seven men who had been cut down all escaped with thelr lives. Evans said that they owed their preservation to a merciful Lord who turned the edge of the French police- man's tin sword. The seven injured men were invited to make charges against Evans, but they sald they didn't want to. As they put It them- selves: “They guessed they against something they anything about.” Capt. Evans is a civil engineer of wide reputation among bullders of bridges and steel frame work, When- ever he is on leave his services have been eagerly sought by the great steel companies. Andrew Carnegie has sald publicly that he considered Capt. Evans one of the most capable en gineers in America, Taking him all in all, be is a typical naval officer of the day.
