By this time we were close on to the
reef. The ship had struck at high tide,
and lay with one-half her hull across
it. Nothing more convenient for our
purpose could have been arranged. We
lay In still water under the lea of the
reef, the top of which was now bare;
and all we had to do was to clamber
out on it, get a line from over the
chip's side, and go aboard,
i "Way enough!" called out the
colonel; "stern all! Look out, forward
there! Now, then, we'll have a word
wiBh this chap. Ship ahoy!"
The .hull was stentorian; it might
have been heard back at our .point of
embarkation; but It produced not a
whlHper of response from the vessel.
The eituatlon did not strike me as be
ing entirely agreeable. ' It was pic
turesque and Impressive, but not invit
ing. There were the loneliness of the
quiet, moonlit sea, the limpid beauty of
the night, the gentle sucking sound of
tlte waves as they lifted and subsided
about the reef, and the shadow-like
mountains idling themselves to the
"Ship Ahoy!"
north they seemed very far away Just
then! Close beside us, overhanging our
heads, .were the black sides of the unac
countable ship, a sort of .grotesque
marine .catafalque, containing no one
uid tell what; so lately full of life and
etle, and now as deadly still as a
ritable tomb. What did It mean, or
' tend? What In the name of mys
y had become of Its late occupants?
ey could not have got away; they
id been under observation from the
ne the ship first hove In sight; and yet
ey could tiot be heard, unless . . .
le alternative was the thing that I
have described as uninviting. If that
swarm of men were on board, lurking
In such breathless silence within a few
feet of where we were sitting, there
was difficulty In persuading one's self
that their conduct boded us any good.
On the other hand, of course, it was
scarcely less diliicult to Imagine what
lieneflt they could expect from doing
uh any harm. Here they were, hard
end fast on the reef, at the mercy not
only of a change In the weather, but of
the Inhabitants of the Islands. They
must be aware that our visit could
le Intended oivly In their Interest. All
the same, I do not mind saying that my
most urgent lunging at that moment
did not take the form of a craving to
clamber up the ship's side and find out
What going on there.
As for the colonel, It Is the business
of warriors not to know what fear Is;
and liv his case there was the added
consideration that he felt whether
reasonably or not matters' little that
her Britannic majesty was being
slighted In his person. At all events, I
am able to aflirm that, to all appear
ances, the only effect upon my friend
of this ghastly unresponsiveness on
the part ot the ship's company was. to
develop In him a wrath, the fiery qual
ity of which was but feobly symbolized
by the glow of the cigar which was
gripped uletween his teeth. He re
peated his hall twice; and then, turn
ing to. me, with the deadly calm of one
who has passed beyond the point where
demonstrations" of any sort can ade
quately express his emotions, he Bald,
In the softest tones I had ever heard
him use: "I think I'll Just step aboard
end make a few Inquiries. Will you re
main here, or "
If I had been nn Englishman, or even
A negro, I think I might have been pre
vailed upon to let that gallant gentle
man have all tha fun to himself; but,
as I had the honor of the Stars and
Ptrlpea In my keeping, at least as much
as he. had that of the Hon and the uni
corn In Ms, I at once replied, In a loud
and cheerful tone: "Remain here?
Well, not If I know myself! I came
out here to see these fellows, and you
can bet your life, Colonel linderby, I
urn not going ashore again without
having done It!"
"Ah! then Tiave the kindness to fol
low me," said he, In the same unnatur
ally silky voice. He stopped out on the
surface of the reef, and I followed him.
It was only a few Inches above the
water, and was both rough and slln-
pery.. We trod on limpets and sea-
urchins, and slimy strips of seaweed
twined themselves about our ankles.
Something that looked to me like the
fln of a gigantic shark moved to and
fro In the water a few yards off.
"Charles," said the colonel, "hand me
oui-tnat lantern." Charles u,i .,
Charies." continued his master, "you
will remain here until my return. You
re not to come on board unless I sum
mon you. (I thought It highly prob
able that Charles would observe this
Injunction.) Keep the boat about where
she Is (Suppose, thought I, these fel
lows.should take It Into their hads-to
scuttle off as soon as our backs are
turned; what then?) and let no one
Jresume to leave his plnce, or Indulge
In any laughter or horse-ploy during
my aosence.
Charles; undertook to restrain any
Undue ( hilarity. Indeed, Ihe counte
nances and bearing of the men did not
seem to me to betray any strong de
sire to! broak forth In careless mirth
to troll Jovial tavern catches or to leap
out on the reef and Indulge In a break
down;' but the light' was dim, and I
Way ihave been mistaken.
"And now, I believe we are ready
added the colonel, with a courteous
Inclination in my direction. iti 1
,71 am- certainly," returned t, with the
Air of one who has too loilg been chafing
unde'f inaction; and we turned to the
Uhlp.-
I As luck would have it, the cordage
appertaining to the topmast, which
was snapped .off at 'the time the ship
struck, was dangling .over the side not
far from where we stood; and a frag
ment of ratline served us In place of a
rope ladder. The colonel, In spite of my
efforts, politely-but firmly Insisted' on
preceding me, and ascended with re
markable agility for a man of his years.
I feat that the eyes of the boatmen
and or Charles were upon me. I sprang
lightly after him. my head nearly com
ing contact with his boot-soles, and
In a moment we stood together on the
deck. Yes, there we stood; and still
alive!
We glanced forward and aft. Noth
ing resembling a human figure was In
sight. In the Shadow of the high bul
warks, however, and along the sides of
the deck-houses, I discerned several
dark objects lying like rolls of sail
cloth, or heaps of spare rigging. Upon
one of these 'heaps, the colonel flashed
the light of his lantern.
"Eh? why, what the .deuce " he
muttered. He inspected another heap
to his right; then still another, further
forward. "Asleep? or drunk? or "
He stopped; we looked at each other
and the tenlson of my nerves came
very neur relieving Itself by an alto
gether Inopportune fit of laughter.
The colonel, after a pause, deliber
ately knelt on one knee on the deck,
beside one of the heaps, and held the
lantern close to the whitish appearance
at one end of It. Then he put his hand
upon It. Then he arose rather hurried
ly and said to me:
"Dead, by Jove! and dry as last year's
cocoa-nut Into the bargain!"
"Dry?" I repeated with a peculiar
shudder. "Dry? what do you mean?"
"The man Is a mummy that's what
I mean," returned the colonel. "He's
skin and bone; he might have been
dead a thousand years. And to Judge
from the clothes he has on," he added,
throwing the light over the costume of
the corpse, "he ought not to have been
alive for the last two hundred years,
anyway!" '
Prompted by a curiosity yet stronger
than my horror, I bent over the re
mains and examined them closely.
They were those of a man or of what
had once been one of a rugged and
brutal aspect, deeply tanned by the
scorching of countless suns, seamed
with old scars, and shaggy with hair
that hung in masses from his skull, and
clothed his gaunt visage to the eyes.
The flesh, however, had dried Into a
thick Integument of the consistency of
parchment, lying close to the bony
framework, and giving the Impression
of a figure curved from some dark col
lored wood. The eyes, themselves had
disappeared, shrunken Into their sock
ets; the lips were like strips of cartl-
lege, and were drawn back from the
yellow teeth, giving the Involuntary
expression of a savage snarl.
Such was the body; the dress was like
none I had ever seen before, unless in
some stage extravaganza, or repre
sented In ancient pictures. It consisted
mainly of a Jerkin and short breeches
of some rough material, and a thick
pair of boots coming up to the knee.
The cut and fashion of these garments
showed at a glance that they had not
been made In our day, nor for many
generations before; they might have
been the fashion In an age when
Charles Second sat on the throne of
Spain, and Louis Quartoze and William
of Orange on those of France and Eng
land. . How, then, came they to clothe
the body of a man lying on the deck of
a vessel In this year 18S4?
The colonel and I did not ask eacli
Other this question; we were not In the
humor for speech. We continued our
'investigations and found the deck
strewn with corpses, all more or less
resombllng the one I have described.
They lay in all postures and places as
if stricken down suddenly where they
stood by some comprehensive thunder
bolt. iSone had ropes still in their
hands, as it t'hey had been hauling the
yards or taking in sail. All were
armed wOtih woaipons of one sort or an
other, but none of a part torn known to
modern aipmorles. There were cut-
las.is.es, dirks, pikes and many gro
tesque and clumsy pistols and match
leks, whose (Intimations no living ear
could ihave heard for centuries. Here
and thure, In points of vantage, we
found Hoven or t'lfitlit quu'lnt old bronze
camion, some of ithem richly carved
and embossed.
The wuiint of the ship was low; the
docks forward and aft were raised
above itiie middle Bpace to the helffht
of a man and were reached by stc?ep
flights of steps. On the poop we dis
covered, leaning against the mlzzen
. "Dead, by Jove l'
ma sit, the only figure on board which
had kept Its fee. It was the corpse of
a tall man, wllth wide shoulders and a
certain stuitcllnesB of bearing, In spite
of the untoward circumstances. lie
wore a wide-brimmed black felt hat
ornaimented wltlh a superb great plume
of scarlet feathers. His dress was
rldh and decorated with tarbarlc mag
nldcence. His ereetness was only an
accident; Ire had been ipropped up dn
his position by his long, basket-hllted
rapier, the polmt of which was stuck In
he deck, while the hilt was caught he-
rveatih the rim of the gold-lnlald corselet
that he wore. The colonel, in moving
to look beneath his wide hat brim,
struck the point of the rapier with his
foot, whereupon down fell the dead
man prone upon 'the deck, with a great
Jingle and crash of arms. The colonel,
for all his steadilnoss, jumped back as If
from a sudden aittack. That was the
first sound,, except our own rare whis
pers, thint had" broken the deathly
stillness -since we had stumbled upon
tltoe first corpse. ' ' i
"I recognize this chap (his red feaitih
er, at least," llhe colonel presently re
marked, in as comivoaed a tone as he
oould manago. "He's the commander,
I suppose. Ahem! Well er I must
aay, this seems to me to be a er mat
ter in which It ils difficult to be guided
by precedent. How does lit strike you?"
"This dhbp -was built and these men
were born about the. time the May
flower tx)k ithe Puritan Pilgrims to
Plymouth Rock,", said I. "You and I
aw her come erthure here with a living
drew four hours ago. At the moment
efoe struck I saw a fellow run aft and
ha ill a flag up to- the mizzeft speak.
There 'he lies now, with the halliards
still 'in Oils hands. Suppose we take a
Jit
nl iffy A v
look ait the flag. That ought to tell us
something."
We walked aft, and I cut the flag
halliards wlitJh my penknife. The flag
came down. We spread 4t out on the
deck, and examined' It with the aid of
the lantern. It was .the Imperial naval
ensign of France in the reign of
Louis XIV.
"This Is not a 'thing we can under
stand, colonel," I' remarked. "We
must take lit as It comes and make the
best of It. Ltt us go below and Inves
tigate ithe oabtoi."
The colonel was mute; he followeJ
me labouit meekly. When a thoroughly
practical mwn a man of action who
believes only In what he can explain
by rule of thumb, chances to run across
something altogetiher beyond the scope
of common (human experience, he be
comes, for the time bdng, as helpless
and docile as an Infant; and a fellow
who sees visions and dreams dreams,
and to whom, half the time, the solid
earth appears less real than his own
thoughts, has htm completely at ad
vantage. So I led the doug'hty old war
rior about at my will, end he trotted
atlter me with an unquestioning defer
ence that was pathetic.
I took the lantern, and' went In ad
vance'. We came to the compianlonway;
it was like the mouth of a black pit.
I was not at my ease, however; like
Macbeth, "dJireness, familiar to my
tlioughits, could not once move me."
But Just us I set foot on the first fltep
of the descent, there came a sound
from bellow.
It was a sort of whimpering, com
plaining sound, half animal and half
human. It seemed to enter Into my
blood like O'toms of Ice. I was pre
pared for ghosts; but this was not
preternatural; the terror of It was due
to Its being a natural manifestation In
the mld.it of what was spectral. The
colonel heard It, but so far from com
pleting 'lila collapse. It revived him.
He drew In a long breath. "Some poor
devtH of a dog Us down tlliere," said he,
clearing the husklness out of his
throat. "It will be acomfort to rescue
him, after all this deviltry! After you.
31r!"v
Now I, unlike the worthy colonol,
am a family man; and domestic life
gives a man certailn knowledges un
known to celibates. The sound had
nut appraired to me like the whining of
a dog. Hut lit was no use speculating;
we wenlt down.

SOI'TH S'-BAKTOIf, Pa, Nov. 10. 1804.
Mr. C W. Campbell-Bear Sir: I have
given my boy, Freddie. 7 years old, some of
Dr. Campbell's Magic Worm Sugar and Tea.
and to my surprise this afternoon about 1
o'clock he passed a tapeworm measuring
about 85 feet in length, head and all. 1 have
It In a bottle and any person wishing to see
It can do so by calling at my store. I had
tried numerous other remedies recommended
for taking tapeworms, but all failed. In my
estimation Dr. Campbell's is the greatest
worm remedy in existence.
Yours Torv resnectfully,
FRED HEFPNER, 782 Boech St
