G
THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE "WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 9, 185.
Mystery
Of the
Caribbean .
BY JULIAN HAWTHORNE.
(These short serial stories are copy
righted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bachol
ler, and are printed In The Tribune by
special arrangement, simultaneous with
their appearance In the leading dully
Journals of the large cities).
The sound was not repeated, and we
had nothing to guide us. We found
ourselves In a passage communicating
with a saloon, small but gorgeously
furnished. There was gold and silver
plate on the table; curtains of velvet
and hangings of silk decorated the
walls and doorways; and a carved
ebony chest In a corner, with the ltd
thrown buck, showed wlthing a mass of
splendid jewelry and other valuables.
A sword, its hilt sparkling with
precious Btones, lay on the floor. The
place was like a room in Aladdin's pal
ace. But no sign either of life or death
was visible.
We passed through this cabin
with only a glance at Its contents.
There would be time enough for such
things later. AVe entered another pas
sage, and presently came to a square
aperture in the floor, opening down
Into the lower region of the ship. A
vertical iron ladder offered a means of
descent.
"We may as well take a look below
there, colonel," said I, quietly. "Will
you remain here, or"
"Go on, sir!" he answered, through
tils teeth.
Down' we went. An atmosphere as
of ages dead and decayed crept Into
our nostrils. Arrived at the bottom,
there was not space to stand up
right. I trod on . something that
caused me to start back. I turned the
light of the lantern up and down the
floor. They lay in rows, four deep;
there may have been two hundred of
them in that noisome crypt, forty feet
long by twenty wide. They were
chained one to another, neck and leg.
Their black skin clung to their bones
like wrinkled leather. Hut their suffer
ings must have been over ages and
ages ago. Death had released them
from their slavery centuries before the
Tbcrc Lay a Woman
Idea of emancipation first dawned in ,
the mind of man.
"I doubt whether that sound could
have come from here, colonel; we could
hardly have heard it so plainly on the
upper deck," I began; but I was inter
rupted by a repetition of the same
plaintive whimper, evidently from
above us. The colonel uttered an ex
clamation, and had scrambled up the
ladder before I could turn round. I
followed, and found that he had groped
his way back to the saloon in the dark.
"It must be here, you know," mut
tered he, apologetically. "I was sure
of It from the first."
I was tempted to compliment him on
his activity, but I forbore. I looked
round the little saloon. There must be
some state-rooms hereabouts. I pushed
my hand against one of the silken
hungings, and felt a vacancy beyond. I
drew the fabric aside, and stepped Into
a small chamber some twelve feet long
by six wide. The colonel was at my
heels.
A bed,, or bunk, was built against
the side of the vessel opposite us. It
was covered with drapery of fine cam
"brie, with a satin coverlid. Propped
upon the pillows lay a woman between
twenty and thirty years of age, ap
parently, and of remarkable beauty.
Iler dark hair fell down over her
shoulders. Her eyes were closed; but
as we entered, they quivered, and slow
ly opened. Their, glance, dark and
penetrating, rested on us for an Instant,
and then they closed once more. A
faint sigh stirred the lace upon her
bosom, and she lay still.
By her side lay an Infant, not more
than a few weeks old. The little crea
ture rested on Its back; Its plump little
legs and arms were kicking and brand
ishing In air. Its eyes were tightly
shut; but as we stared upon It, they
opened, and It uttered a quavering cry
the cry of a baby Just emerging from
sleep and In want of Its natural nour
ishment. "Bless my Boul!" faltered the honest
colonel. "Bless my soul! A live baby,
In the midst of all this!"
I put my finger on the mother's wrist.
It was already cold, and there was no
pulse. Her beautiful face changed
fven as we stood there; It became
pinched and cadaverous. The figure
seemed to sink Into Itself and wither
tip. It was as If she Had been miracu
lously preserved during unknown
years, until her infant should be saved.
But the Infant he was real and sub
stantial; he did not dwindle and van
ish before our eyes. The colonel, how
ever, seemed to fear that he would, for
'he. caught him up in, his arms and
pressed him to his manly, but tender
old heart. . '
"It makes me feel like a man again
to get hold of It," quoth he, la a shaken
voice, while two tears ran down , the
side of his warlike nose. "Here's a
101 ulece of warm flesh and blood at
)ant, ' after all this Infernal hobgob
Olnry. Do, for mprcy's sake, let ua get
out orf this, before we get turned Into
mummies and hobgoblins ourselves!" -
I looked again at the mother. What
a fate had been (hors! Who was she?
How came she hither? Had her eyes
indeed beheld us before she died, or
was that an illusion of our bewldered
senses? What had her life been on this
accursed vesnal? Who was thp father
of this child which she had cherished
till the end? Ah, well, It Is the doom
of man to ask questions, and to guess
alt the answers. What do we know?
I "Yes, we had better go," said I. "The
eooner that baby has some woman to
look after him the better. His mother
wlll rest here one night more, and we
will return in th morning. May she
rest In peace, whoever she was!"
We mounted the deck, the colonel
bearing the baby, who took the change
In his circumstances very composedly.
It was a relief to breathe the free air
again. The moon had risen higher, and
now shone quietly over 'the deck, and
the dusky (heaps of mortality that lay
upon lit seemed no more than shadows
of the past. We crossed over the spat
where the fallen rattlnes 1iung from
the bulwarks, and the colonel was
about to clamber over when I stopped
him.
"Col.' Enderby," I -said, "now I come
to think of It, there is no necessity for
your roturnlng to tihe shore with me.
I am sure you must feel that the dig
nity of 'her majesty's service demands
ithat you should remain in charge of
thlis vossel ;untll the 'authorities at
Kingston can be Informed of whait 'has
occurred. You are leaving ithe ship In
opposition 'to your sense of duty, mere
ly out of courtesy to me, But I won't
allow It! I will go ashore with the
iba.by, and do you stay here till tomor
row. I donH at all mind going alone,
and it will 'be a comfort to me to think
that you are out here enjoying the dis
charge of an obligation which Is not
the less dear to you because you hap
pen to be on the retired list. Good
nighlt!"
Hut .the colonel had me on the arm
with a grasp of iron.
"If It will give you any satisfaction
to know that I have been und am
frightened pretity near out of my
.lenses," said he, "you are welcome to
the information. I would no more uare
stay here all night alone than
Oh, come on! Have you Yankees no
consideration for a chap when he's
down '!"
"My dear colonel," returned I, "I
WiW JUHt as muoh scared as you were;
all 1 wished was to come to an under
standing. I don't believe that either
the British lion or the American eagle
will be a bit the worse for our spend
ing the night ait your pen; so let us
shake hands and say no more about It."
Since that night the colonel has been
less overwhelming and more compan
ionable. I was up early the next morning, but
when I stepped out on the porch I
found my host already there. He was
staling seuAvard with a blank expres
sion, whlc'h remained on his face when
be turned to answer my greeting.
"Look yonder!" said he, pointing to
the reef. "Gone! She's gone, sir, by
Jove! bag and scrip. Not a chip of her
lafit."
I looked, and neither on the reef nor
anywhere wlt'hln the sweep of the
of Remarkable Beauty,
horizon could I discern any trace of the
mysterious vessel of the night before.
Yet there had been no breath of wind
from then till now.
"She's gone," he repeated; "and
Charles tells me that the men have
been over there and say that there's
nothing left of her, either under water
or above It. Now, what do you make
of it?"
"Colonel," I replied, after a pause,
"have you got that baby still?"
"Indeed, I have," cried 'the veteran.
"He's Just dropped asleep, after get
ting a good breakfast out of that
young Sully of mine, you know, who
whom! Oh, yes I've gut him all
right 1"
"Then we may take our own break
fast with a free mind," said I. "It Is
tine way of ships to pass In the night,
and, for my part, I think it was high
time for her to be off, don't you?"
"By Jove, my boy, that I do!" cried
the colonel, heartily; and, grasping my
hand, he led me In to breakfast; coffee
and rolls, an-d a couple of soft-boiled
eggs apiece.
Just as we had finished, and were
thinking of retiring to our rooms to lay
aside our pajamas and start for the
beach, Charles modestly entered, bear
ing In his arms a battered and water-
souked fragment of old black plnnk-
with the half-effaced remains of some
Inscription on It.
"De men find It on de beach dis
mo'nln', sah," he explained. "T'lnk
it come oft de wreck, sah. T'lnk you
might like to take a look at it, sah,
Massa Cun'l, sah."
At the colonel's direction he placed
the fragment on a chair, so that the
light fell upon the writing. We set
ourselves to decipher It.
"Looks to me like 'Valnnupre,' eh?
What Uo you make it?" said the colo
nel, at length.
"I think It's 'La Valllere,' answered
I. "She was one of Louis Quartom-'s
er court, you know."
"I fancy you've got It," assented he.
"And now I think of It, "La Valllere'
was the name of one of the ships of
that scoundrel DuCagse's fleet!"
"Then that completes the chain of
evidence. But don't you think," I
added, "that, considering the circum
stance. It .will be'Jnst as well If we
don't (jay anything 'publicly about this
affair.. 1 mean, better not enter into
details, and that sort ''of thing. You
see, wo huve no actual proof, even the
baby proves nothing, except 'to our
selves; and folks are apt to be skepti
cal." "I fully agree with you," returned
the colonel, earnestly. "The truth is,
I was going to suggest a little er
prudence, myself. We know what we
know; and we don't want to be both
ered with the questions and gupsses of
a lot of asses who know nothing. By
the way, come in nnd have a.1 look at
him. He's a beauty, I tell you! And
I'll lay you the odds he's no French
man. 'Softly, now, or you'll wake him."
We tip-toed In, end there he lay, pink
and soft, breathing gently, in his little
Impromptu crib, with sable Sally grin
ning beside him.
. "He's an Englishman, every Inch of
him," exclaimed the colonel, beneath
his breath, "And his mother is an
English woman, did you notice her
eyes? Dark gray, English eyes
Lancashire eyes; I ought to know, and
there was a girl I might have married,
If I hadn't been a fool, who looked Just
like her." . ,
"And who was the baby's father, do
you think?"
"An Englishman, of course, replied
the colonel, Indignantly; "an English
colonial, at all events. Wasn't I' tell
ing you yesterday afternoon that those
Infernal pirates murdered the men and
carried off the women? Very well;
now, my Idea Is, that this child that
his mother that this child, I say, was
born Immediately after his mother was
carried on board, owing to the fright
and agitation, you understand; and
that he saved his mother's honor by be
ing born at that time."
"But, colonel, that was two hundred
years ago," I objected.
"Well, sir, and what if it was? Tlwre
are miracles In the Bible, and I believe
In the Bible! And could a miracle be
performed In a better cuuse than this?
I believe there was a miracle; and I be
lieve In that woman, and In her baby;
and he shall be my baby, now, and
whatever I possess shall be his, when
I'm gone; that's my lust will and testa
ment!" "Will you let hie have the honor of
being his godfather?" I asked.
To this proposal the colonel gave a
cordial assent; und I am to send the
little heir a sliver mug next month.
(The End.)
SMOKE MADE COLORLESS.
Here Is a Western Idcu Which Is a lloon
und messing.
The Scientlflu American describes a
simple method of extracting carbon
from smoke, which has been tried suc
cessfully In St. Louis. ' The exhaust
pipe Is extended either outside or liiKldj
the chimney to within about four feet
of the top. A vacuum Is produced by
the steam entering the air, and a slight
down draught Is also caused, carrying
the carbon saturated with moisture of
tho steam to a soot box at the bottom
of the chimney. The gases In the chim
ney receive an extra Impetus In tilling
the vacuum, thus drawing an addi
tional amount of oxygen Into the fur
nace, and the draught 'in the chimney
Is uniform, because governed by the
velocity of the steam at 212 degrees
1'lahr., the point of condensation. Ninety-six
per cent, of the carbon entering
the chimney Is said to be precipitated,
and can be sold for lampblack, for mak
ing inks, etc. The other 4 per cent, is
either precipitated on the roof or chemi
cally changed, as no color Is visible
from four to ten feet from the chimney.
This device has been in successful
operation for the past tight months on
the chimney of the Hoe building, a
large ollice structure In St. Louis, and
by actual test DC per cent, of the cni'bon
entering the chimney was found to be
precipitated.
ARTIFICIAL PETROLEUM.
It Is of l ittle Value llccauso the Genuine
Is Much Cheaper.
Geologists are still, at loggerheads
what are the original component parts
of peroleum, and we do not wish to
reiterate the many solutions of that
vexatious problem, says a German pa
per, each of them being the only cor
rect one. The opinion of some Is in
favor of a vegetable origin, while
others claim animal remains to have
formed the valuable product.
Lately Professor Engler has succeed
ed In producing an article that could
not be distinguished from mineral oil,
by distilling cod liver oil under a pres
sure of 25 atmospheres. He could ob
tain the same result by using butter
or lard. Too bad that his discovery
has no practical value, as the real ar
ticle will always be considerably
cheaper than the artificial kerosene.
Don't Forget
that when you buy Scott's Hmul
sion you are not getting a secret
mixture containing worthless or
harmful drugs.
Scott's Emulsion cannot be se
cret for an analysis reveals all
there is in it. Consequently the
endorsement of the medical
world means something.
.Scott's
overcomes Wasting, promotes
the making of Solid Flesh, and
gives Vital Strength. It has no
equal as a cure for Coughs, Colds,
Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Woak Lungs,
Consumption, Scrofula, Anaemia, Ema
ciation, and
Wasting Diseases of Children.

It was a lucky move for mo. I was
