A YACHTING STORY.
By A. T. QUILLER-COUCH.
(These short serial stories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bach
eller.and are printed lnTheTrlbune by special arrangement, simultaneous with
their appearance in the leading dally journals of the large cities).
At the conclusion, Mr. Job loosed his
neckcloth, and spoke:
"That book, sir, ought to be lyln' at
the bottom of the sea. It was lost on
the evening of September the 3d, 18SB,
on board a yacht that went down with,
all hands. Now I'll tell you all about
it. There was a gentleman called
Wake staying over at Port AVlllam that
summer that's four miles up the coast,
you know."
I nodded. "Staying with his wife
and one son. a tall young fellow, aged
about twenty-one, maybe. They came
from up the country M was the
place, In Lancashire and they had a
yacht with them, that they kept In
I'ort William harbor, anchored just be
low the bridge. She would be about
thirty tons a very pretty boat. They
hud. only one hired hand for crew; used
to work her themselves for the most
part; the lady was extraordinary clever
at the helm, or at the sheets either.
Very quiet people they were. Yuu
might see them most days that sum
mer, anchored out on the AVhitin
grounds. What was she called? The
(Jueen of Sheba cutter rigged quite a
new boat. It was wild after that the
owner, Mr. Make, designed her him
self. She used often to put In to len
leven. Know her? Why of course I'd
know her, 'specially conslderln' what
happened.
"What was that? A very sad ense;
It made a lot of talk at the time. One
day It was the lid of September
'80 the day I spoke about Mr. and
Mrs. Make and the son, they anchored
off the haven and came up here to tea.
I supposed at the time they'd left their
paid hand, Hobertson, on board; but It
turned out he was left at home at I'ort
William that day, barkln' a small main-
Ball that Mr. Blake had brought o' pur
pose for the ftshln'. Well, Mrs. Make
she ordered tea. and while my missus
was layhi" the cloth young Mr. Make
lie picks up that very book, sir, that
was lyln' on the sideboard, and begins
readln' It and lutlln'. My wife she goes
out of the room for to cut the bread-and-butter,
and when she comes back
there was the two gentlemen by the
Tho Spaniard
window studyln the book with their
backs to the room, and Mrs. Blake
lyln' back in the chair I'm now slttin'
on, an' her face turned to the wall so.
The young Mr. Blake he turns round
and says: 'This here's a very amusing
book, Mrs. Job. Would you mind my
borrowing it for a day or two to copy
out some of the poetry? I'll bring it
back next time we put Into Penle;rr-n.'
Of course my wife says: 'No, sheldn't
mind.' Then the elder Mr. Bake he
says: 'I sae you had a visitor jnere yes
terdaya Mr. Macguire. Ishe in the
house?' My wife said: 'N(yf the gentle
man had left his traps,,liut he'd started
that morning to wali 'to Port William
to spend the day. Nothing more
passed. They haJ their tea, and paid
for it, and wen off to their yacht. I
saw that book In the young man's hand
as he went duwn the pasasge.
"Well, si, it was just dusking in ns
thoy' weaned and stood up towards
Vert Wifilam, the wind blowing pretty
steady from the south'ard. At about
ten lriutes to 7 o'clock It blew up In
n sti inen little squall nothing to mon-
the llshlng boats just noticed It
lit that-was all. But it was reckoned
at squall capsized the Queen of
heba.
She never reached Port Will-
llam,
, and no man ever clapped eyes on
her after twenty minutes past 6,
when Dick Crego declares he saw her
off the Blowth, half-way toward home,
and going steady under all canvass.
The affair caused a lot of stir, here and
at Port William, and in the newspa
pers. Short-handed as they were, of
course, they'd no business to carry on
aa they did, 'specially ns my wife de
clares from her looks that Mrs. Blake
was feelin' faint afore they started.
She always seemed to me a weak, tlm
inersome woman at the best; small and
allln' to look at."
"And Mr. Blake?"
"Oh! he was a Btrong-made gentle
man; tall, with a big red beard."
"The son?"
' "Took after his father, only he hadn't
any beard; a fine upstanding pair."
"And no trace was ever found of
them?"
"Not a stick or thread."
"But about this visitors' book. Tou'll
ewear they took it with them? See,
there's not a stain of salt water upon
It."
"No, there Isn't; but I'll swear young
Mr. Blake had it In his hand as he
went 'from my door."
I said: "Mr. Job, I've kept you al
ready too long from your dinner. Go
and eat, and ask them to send in some
thing for me. Afterwards I want you
to come with me and take a look at
my yacht that Is lying Just outside of
the haven."
As we started from the shore Mr.
Job, casting his eyes over the Siren,
remarked. "That's a very pretty yawl
of yours, sir." As we drew nearer he
began to eye her uneasily.
"She has been lengthened some five
or six feet," I said; "she was a cutter to
begin with."
"Lord help us!" then said Mr. Job, In
a hoarse whisper. "She's the Queen of
6hcba. . I'd swear to her run anywhere
- ay, or to that queer angle of her
hawse-holes."
A close examination confirmed Mr.
Job that my yacht was no other than
the lost. Queen of Sheba, lengthened
and altered In rig. It persundeij me,
too. I turned back to Plymouth, and
leaving Hie boat in Cattwater, drove
to the Mlllbay station and took tickets
for Bristol. Arriving there Just twenty
four hours after my Interview with Mr.
Hot
Job, I made my way to Mrs. Carllng
ford's lodgings.
She had left them two years before;
nothing was known of her where
abouts. The landlady could not even
tell me whether she had moved from
Bedminster, and so I had to let the
matter rest.
But just fourteen days ago I rt eived
the following letter, dated from a work
house In one of the midland counties:
"Dear Sir: I am a dying woman and
shall probably be dead before this reaches
you. The doctor says he cannot glvo mo
forty-clKht hours. It Is angina pectoris,
and I suffer horribly at times. The yacht
you purchased of mo Is not the Wasp, but
the Queen of Shelba. My. husband de
signed her. He was a man of some prop
erty near Limerick; and he and my son
were. Involved In some of the Irish
troubles between 1SS1 and 1SS4. It was said
they had Joined one of the brotherhoods
and betrayed their oaths. This I am sure
was not true. Jlut It is certain we had to
rim for four of assassination. After a
yeur in Liverpool we were forced to fly
south to Port William, where we brought
the yacht and lived for some time In quiet,
under our own names. Hut we knew thai
could not last and had taken measures to
escape when need arose. My husband had
chanced while at Liverpool upon an old
yacht dismantled and rotting In the Mer
sey, but of about the same size as his
own, and still, of course, upon the regis
ter. He bought her of her owner, a Mr.
farllngford, and a stranger, for a very
few pounds, and with her what he valued
far more her papers; but he never com
pleted the transfer ut the custom house.
His plan was, if pressed, to escape abroad
and pass his yacht off as the Wasp and
himself as Mr. Carllngford. All the while
we lived at Port William the Queen of
Sheba was ke4 amply provisioned for a
voyage of at least three weeks, when the
necessity overtook us quite suddenly the
name of a man, Macguire, In the visitors'
book of a small Inn at I'enleven. We left
Penleven at dusk that evening, and held
steadily up the coast until darkness.
Then wo turned the yacht's head, and ran
straight across for Morlalx; but tho
weather continuing fine for a good foit
nlght (our lirst night at sea was the
roughest In all this time), we changed
our minds, cleared Ushant and held right
across for Vigo; thence, after revlctual
Ing, we cruised slowly down the coast and
through the straits, finally reaching Ma-
Shot Him Dead.
laga. There wo staid and had tho yacht
lengthened, My. husband had sold his
small properly before ever we came to
Port W'ill.im and had managed to Invest
the wlyle' under the name of Carllngford.
Th"V was no difficulty about letters of
crflit. At each port on the way we had
Mown the Wasp's papers, and used the
'name of Carllngford; and at Lisbon we
read In an Kngllsh newspaper about the
supposed capsizing of the Queen of
Sheba. Still we had not only to persuade
the olliclals at tho various ports that our
bout was the Wasp. We knew that our
enemies were harder to delude, and our
next step was to muke her as unlike the
Wasp or the Queen of Sheba as possible.
This we did by lengthening her and alter
ing her rig. Hut It proved useless, as I
had always feared It would. The day af
ter we sailed from Malaga, a Rpanlsh
siieaklng seaman, whom we had hired
there ns extra hnjid, came aft as If to
speak to my husband (who stood at tho
wheel), and, halting a pace or two from
him, lifted a revllver, called him by name
and shot him dead. Before he could turn,
my son had knocked him senseless, and
In another minute tumbled him overboard.
We burled my husband In the sea, next
dey. We held on, we two alone, past
Gibraltar I steering and my son hand
ling the sails and ran up for Cadiz.
There we made a deposition of our losses,
Inventing a story to account for them,
And my son took the train for Paris, for
we knew that onr enemies had tracked tho
yacht, and there would be no escape for
him if he clupg to her. I waited for six
days, and then engaged a crew and
worked the yacht back to F . I have
never since set eyes on my Bon; but he is
alive, and his hiding Is known to myself
and to one man only a member of tho
brotherhood, who surprised the secret.
To keep that man silent I spent all my re
maining money; to quiet him I had to
sell the yacht; and now that money, too,
Is gone, and I am dying In a workhouse.
God help my son! I deceived you, and yet
I think I did you no great wrong. Tho
yacht I sold you was my own, and she was
worth tho money. The figures on the
beam were rut there by my husband be
fore wo heached Vigo, to make the yacht
correspond with the Wasp's certillcato.
If I have wronged you 1 Implore your
pardon. Yours trulv,
CATHERINE BLAKE."
Well, "that Is the end of the Ptory. It
does not, I am aware, quite account
for the figure I aaw standing by the
Siren's wheel. Ab for the Wasp, she
long since rotted to pieces on the wa
ters of ithe Mersey. But the question Is:
Have I a right .to sell the Siren? I cer
tainly have a right to keep heir, for she
Is mine, sold to me In due furm by her
rigihitful owner, and honestly paid for.
But then I don't want to keep her.

STATE'S BIGGEST LIAR.
How Sam Jones Neatly Turned the I'olnt
on llio Hearers.
From the Hartwcll (Ga.) Sun.
An amusing incident occurred at the
close of Sam Jones' sermon at Fulaskl
the other day. Steeping down from the
pulpit, folding his hands across his
breast and looking solemnly over the
audience, the great revivalist said:
"I want all tho women In this crowd
who have not spoken a harsh word or
harbored an unkind thought toward
their husbands for a month past to
stand up." -
One old woman apparently on the
shndy Isde of sixty stood up. "Come
forward and give me your hand," said
the preacher.
The woman did so,' whereupon Jones
said:
"Now, turn around and. let this audi
ence see the best looking woman In the
country."
After taking her seat, the revivalist
addresked the men:
"Now, I wanlall the men In this crowd
who have not spoken a harsh word or
harbored an unkind thought toward
their wives for a month past to stand
up." Twenty-seven great, big, strap
ping fellows hopped out of the audience
with all the alacrity of champagne
corks.
"Come forward and give me your
hands, my dear boys." Jones gave each
one a vigorous shake, after which he
ranged all of them side by side in front
of tho pulpit, and facing the audience.
He looked them over carefully and
polemnly, ind then, turning around to
the audience, he said:
"I want you all to take a good look at
the twenty-seven biggest liars In the
state of Tennessee."

Nothing is more alarming than diseases
of uu ulcerous nature. A continual gnaw
ing away of life-generating tissue, until a
vital spot is reached, an artery is severed,
or from sheer weakness death ensues.
Especially in Gastritis ulcers of tho
stomach is terrible suffering experi
enced. Tho symptoms, though not at
lirst alarming (seemingly a slight attack
of Indigestion), gradually become worse,
so that no nourishment can Jfie retained

Dies of Starvation.
In Consumption, where the ulcers attack
the lungs, the termination is very similar,
as it is, in fact, in uny of the wasting dis
eases to which are given various names,
according to the organs affected.
lly the methods of physicians of to-day
thousands of lives are. being saved In cases
that a few years ago were considered hope
less. The. lirst step now taken to effect a
cure is to make new blood and tissue, give
tho patient strength, and keep him "on
the gain" by. administering Kovinine.
Ilovinine is not a medicine, but a greatly
concentrated extract of the most vital ele
ments of lean raw beef. The life-main-taining
qualities of this wonderful prepa
ration arc simply marvellous. Dr. A. -M.
Cook, of New Castle, l'a., states that he
maintained life In his wife, while suffer
ing from gastric ulcers, for three weeks
without giving her anything through Uio
mouth, injecting Ilovinine instead.
With such results as this, it is not to ho
wondered at that Ilovinine is indorsed by
physicians everywhere, and has become
recognized as the greatest factor in saving
life, hastening recovery from sickness, and
warding off disease, ever given to man.
