id THE SCBANTON TIIIBUNB---SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 1893. e Devil : and the Deep Copyright, ISO. "AH supplies very had and dear, and there are no facilities for even the small est repairs." Sailing Directions. Her nationality was British, but you will not find her house-flag In the list of our mercantile marine. She was a nine hundred ton, iron, schooner riRRed, screw, cargo-boat, differing ex ternally In no way from any other tramp of the sea. But it is with steam ers as It is with men. There are those who will for a consideration sail ex tremely close to the wind; and, in the present state of our fallen world, such people and such steamers have their use. From the hour that the Aglala first entered the Clyde new, shiny and Innocent with a quart of cheap cham pagne trlcklins down her cut-water Fate and her owner, who was also her captain, decreed that she should deul with embarrassed crowned heads, flee ing presidents, financiers of over-extended ability, women to whom chanRe of air was Imperative, and the lesser law-breaking iiowers. Her career led her sometimes into the Admiralty courts, where the sworn statements of her skipper filled his brethren with envy. The mariner cannot tell or act a He in the face of the sea or mislead a tempest, but, as Inwyers have discov ered, he makes up for chances withheld when he returns to shore en affidavit in either hand. The Aglala figured with distinction In the great Mackinaw salvage case. It was her first slip from virtue, and she learned how to change her name, but not her heart, and to run across the sea. As the Guiding Light she was very badly wanted in a South Ameri can port for the little matter of enter ing the harbor at full speed, colliding with a valuable coal-hulk and the state's only man-of-war. Just n that man-of-war was going to coal. She put to sea without explanations, though three forts tired nt her for half an hour. As the Julia M'ciregor she had been concerned In picking up from i a raft certain gentlemen who should have stayed in Noumea, but who pr ferred making themselves vastly ur nlcasnnt to authority in quite nf other qunrter of the world; and as the Rhah-ln-Shah she hud been overtuken on the high seas, indecently full of mu nitions of war, by the cruiser of an agi tated power nt Issue with its neighbor. That time she was very nearly sunk, and her riddled hull gave eminent law yers of two countries great profit. Af- -r a season she reappeared us the Martin Hunt, painted a dull slate color with pure saffron funnels and boats of robin's-egg blue, engaging In the Odessa trade till she was invited inno the invitation cou 1 not well lie (lis regarded) to keep away from Black Sea twins altogether. She had ridden through many waves of depression In the shipping business, Preichts might drop out of sight, sea men's unions throw spanners and nuts at certificated masters, or stevedores combine till cargo perished on the dock head, but the boat of many names came and went, busy, alert and Inconspicu ous always. Her skipper, who In a spasm of pride had compared her to a servant girl in a house of ill-fame, made no complaint of hard times, ana port officers observed thnt her crew signed again nlioard her with the regularity of Atlantic liner boatswains. Her name she changed as occasion called; her well-paid crew never, and a largo per centage of the profits of her voyage was spent with an open hand on her engine room. She never troubled the under writers, and very seldom stopped to talk with a signal station, for her busi ness was urcent and private. But an end came to her tradings, and she perished in this manner. Deep peace brooded over Kurope, Asia, Africa, America, Australia ana roiy nesia. The powers dealt together more or less honestly: banks paid tneir uepos itors to the hour; diamonds of price came safely to the hands of their own ers; republics rested content with their dictators: diplomats found no one whose presence in the least Incom moded them: and monarchs lived openly with their lawfully wedded wives. It was as though the whole earth had put on Its best Sunday bib and tucker: ann business was very bnd for the Martin Hunt. The great, virtuous calm en gulfed her, slate sides, yellow funnels and all, but cast up In another Hemis phere the steam whaler Haliotis, blnck and rusty, with a manure-colored fun nel, a litter of dingy white boats, and an enormous stove, or furnace for burn ing blubber on her forward well-deck. There could be no doubt that her trip was successful, for she lay at several ports not too well known, and the smoke of her trylng-out insulted the beaches. Anon she departed at the speed of the average London four-wheeler, and entered a semi-Island sea, warm, still and blue, which Is, perhaps, the most strictly preserved water in the world. There she stayed for three months, un der sail for the most part, and the great stars of those mild skies beheld her playing puss-in-the-corner among Is lands where whales are never found. All that time she smelt abominably, and the smell, though fishy, was not whole some. In the middle of the tenth week calamity descended upon her from the Island of Pygang-Watal, and she fled while Her crew Jeered at a fat black and brown gunboat puffing far behind. They knew to the last revolution the capacity of every boat on those seas that they were anxious to avoid. A British ship with a good conscience does not, as a rule, flee from the man-of-war of a for eign power, and It Is also a breach of etiquette to stop and search British ships at sea. These things the skipper of the Haliotis did not pause to prove, but held on at an Inspiriting eleven knots an hour till nightfall. One thing only had h overlooked. The power that 'kept an expensive steam-patrol movlngup and down those waters (the skipper had dodged the two regular ships of the station with an case Between the Devil and the Deep Bin Sa that bred contempt) had newly brought up a third and a thlrteen-knot boat with a clean bottom to help the work; and that was why the Haliotis, driving hard from the east to the west, found herself at daylight In such a position that she could not help seeing an ar rangement of four flags a mile and o half behind, which read : "Heave to, or take the consequences. " She had her choice, and she took It, and the end came when, presuming on her lighter draft and International eti quette, she tried to draw away north Hard over friendly aboal. The shell Sea, By.

It had been intended to cross her bows, and that is why It knocked the framed portrait of the chief engineer's wife, and she was a very pretty girl, on the floor, splintering his washhand-stand. crossed the alley-way into the engine-room, and striking on a grating dropped directly in front of the forward engine, where' It burst, nearly fracturinpr both the bolts that held the connectins-rod to the forward crank. What follows is worth consideration. The forward engine had no more work to do. Its released piston-rod, there fore, drove up fiercely with nothing to check it, and started most of the nuts of the cylinder-cover. . . It came down again, the weightof the steam behind, and the foot of the connecting-rod, use less as the leg of a man with a sprained ankle, flung out to the right arid strucll the starboard or right-hand cast iron supporting-column of the forward en gine, cracking it clean through abou i six inches above tho base and wedging the upper , portion outwards three inches towards the ship's side. There the connecting-rod jammed. Meantime, the after-engine, being as yet unembar- "Where Are Thoso Damn Poarls." rassed, went on with Its work, and In so doing brought round at its next revo lution the crank of the forward engine which smote the already jammed connecting-rod. bending it and therewith the piston-rod cross- head the big cross-, piece that slides up and down so smoothly.-. The crossbead Jammed sideways in the guides, and. In addition to putting further pressure on the already broken starboard supporting column, cracked the port, or left-handed supporting col umn In two or three places. There be ing nothing more that could be made to move, the engines brought up all stand ing with a hiccough that seemed to lift the Haliotis a foot out of the water; and the engine room staff, opening every steamoutletthat theycouldfindin their confusion, arrived on deck somewhat scalded but calm. There wns a sound below of things happening a rushing, clicking, purring, R-runting, rattling noise that did not last for more than n minute." It was the machinery udjuHt) Ing Itself on the spur of the moment to a hundred altered conditions. Mr. War drop, one foot on the upper grating, in clined his ear sidewavs and groaned. You cannot stop engines working nt twelve knots an hour In three seconds without disorganizing: them. The Hali otis slid forward In a cloud of steam, shrieking like a wounded horse. There was nothtng more to do. The five-Inch Iron shell, with a reduced charge, had settled the situation, and when you are full, all three holds, of strictly prei erved pearls; when you have cleaned out tho Tanna bank, the Sca-Horse bank, and four other banks from one end to the other of the Amnnala sea when you have ripped out the very heart of a rich government monopoly so that five years will not repair your wrontt doings you must smile, and take what Is In store. But the skipper 'reflected, ns a launch put out from the man-of-war, that he hail been bombarded on the. high sens, with the British flag. several of them, picturesquely dispose anove mm, and tried to find comfort from the thought. , "Where," said the stolid nnval lieu tenant, as he hoisted himself aboard, "where are those dam' pearls?" PART II. They were then bt-yefnd evasion. No affidavit could do away with the fear ful smell of decayed oysters, the div ing-dresses, and the shell-Uttered lie Kept tho hatches. TJiey were there to the value of seventy thousand pounds, more or less; and every pound poached. The man-of-war was annoyed, for she had used up rhany tons of coal; she had strained her lenglnes, and. worse than all. ' hqr officers and crew had been hurried. Kveryone on the Haliotis was arrested and rearrested several times as each officer came aboard: then they wore told by what they esteemed to be the equivalent of a midshipman that they were to consid er themselves (prisoners, and finally were put under arrest. Its not the least good,.' said tne skipper, suavely. "You'd much bettor Bend us a tow " Be still you are arrest I was the reply. "Where the devil do you expect we are going to escape to? We're help less. You've got to tow us Into- some where, and explain why you fired on us. Mr.v Wardrop, we're helpless, aren't we?" ' KUIned from end to end, said the man of machinery. "If she rolls, the forward cylinder will come down ana go through her bottom. Both columns are clean cut through. There's noth ing to hold anything- up." The council of war clanked oir to see If Mr. Wardrop'a words were true. He warned them that It was ss much as a man's life was worth to enter the engine room; and thy contented them selves with a distant Inspection through the thinning, steam. The Haliotis lifted to tne long easy swell and the starboard supporting column ground a trifle, as a man grits his teeth under the knife. The forward cylinder was depending on that un known force men call the pertinacity fit materials which, now and then, bal- nces that other hoart-oreaklng pow- r. the perversity of Inanimate things. "Tea. siri" nr. wardrop said, nurrjr ' ' ' ' ''i ing them away. "The engines aren't worth their price as old iron." - "We tow," was the-answer. "Af terwards we shall confiscate." The man-of-war was short-handed, and did not see the necessity of putting a prise crew aboard tho Haliotis. So she sent one sub-lieutenant, whom the skipper kept very drunk, for he did not wish to make the tow too easy, and, moreover, he had an inconspicuous little rope hanging from the stern ot his ship. Then they began to tow at an aver age speed of four knots an hour. The Haliotis was very hard to move, and the gunnery lieutenant who had fired the five-inch shell had leisure to think upon consequences. Mr. Wardrop was the busy man. He borrowed all the crew to shore U3 the cylinders with "Thoro's Just a Chnnco of spars and blocks from tho bottom and sides of the ship. It was a day's risky work; but anything was better than drowning at the end of a tow-rope; and If the forward cylinder had fallen It would have made Its way to the sea bed and taken the Haliotis after. "Where are we going to and how long will they tow us?" he asked of the skipper. "God knowsl and the sub-lieutenant's drunk. What do you think we can do?" "There's Just the bare chance," Mr. Wardrop whispered, though no one was within hearing. "There's just the bare chance o' renalrin' her if a man knew how. They've twisted the very guts out of her bringing her up with that jerk; but I'm saying that with time and patience there's Just tho chance o" making Bteam yet. We could do it." The skipper's eyes brightened. "Do you mean," he began, "that she is any good?" "Oh no," said Mr. Wardrop. "She'll need three thousand pounds In repairs at the lowest If she's to take the sea again, n' that apart from any injury to her structure. She's like a man Tallen down fjve pair o" stairs. We can't tell for months whnt has hap pened; and we know she'll never be good again with out a new inside. Ye should see the eomlensin" tubes an' the steam connections to tho donkey for two things only. I'm not afraid of them repairin' her. I'm afraid of them steulln' things." "They've fired on us. They'll have to explain that." "Our reputation's not good enough to ask for explanations. ' Let'8 take what we have and be thankful. Ye would not have consuls rememberln' the Guidln' Light an' tho Shah-ln-Shah, and the Aglala, at this most alarmln' crisis. We've been no better than pirates these ten years. Under Providence we're no worse than thieves now. We've much to be thankful for If we ever get back to her." "Make It your own way, then," said the skipper, "if there's the least chance " "I'll leave none." snld Mr. Wardrop. "none that they'll dare to take. Keep her heavy on the tow, for we need time." The skipper never Interfered with the affairs of the engine room, and Mr. Wardrop an artist in his profession turned to and composed a work, ter rible and forbidding. His background was the dark-grained sides of the en gine room: his material the metals of power and strength, helped out with spars, baulks and ropes. Tho man-of-war towed sullenly and viciously. The Haliotis behind , her hummed like a hive before swarming. With extra and totally unneeded spars her crew blocked un the space round the for ward engine till It resembled a statue In Its soaffoldlng and the butts of the shores Interfered with every view that a dispassionate eye might wish to toke. And that the dispassionate mind might be swiftly shaken out of its calm, tho well-sunk bolts of the shores were wrapped round untidily with loose ends of ropes, giving a studied effect of most dangerous Insecurity. Next Mr. Ward rop took up a collection from tho after-engine, which, as you will remem- rnr hi-en affected In the gen eral wreck. The cylinder escape-valve he abolished with a flogging-hammer. It Is difficult in far-off ports to come by such valves unless, like Mr. Wardrop, you keen duplicates in store. At the same time men took off tho nuts of two of the great holding-down, .bolts that serve to keen the engines in place on their solid bed. Any engine violently arrested in mid-career may Jerk off the nut of a holding-down bolt, and this accident looked very natural, rasslng along tho tunnel he removed Sub-LIoutenont Drunk, several shaft coupling bolts and huts, scattering other and ancient' pieces of iron underfoot Any engine stoipped suddenly may disorganize her shaft coupling bolts, and this accident seemed even more natural. Cylinder bolts he cut off to the number of six from the after engine cylinder so that-.it might match Its neighbor and Btuffed the bilge feed pumps with cotton waste. Then he made up a' neat bundle of the vari ous odds and ends that he had gathered from the engines little things like nuts and valve spindles,- nil carefully tal lowedand retired with them under the floor of the engine room, where he sighed, being fat as ho passed from manhole 'to manhole of the double bot tom, and In some fairly dry submarine compartment hid them. Any engineer, particularly In an -unfriendly port, has a right to keep his spare, stores where he chooses, and the foot of onei of the cylinder shores blocked all entrance Into the regular store room even If that had not been already closed with steel wedges. In conclusion he disconnected the after engine, laid plstoq and con necting rod, carefullyi tallowed, where It' would bp most Inconvenient to the casual visitor, took out three . of th eight collars of the thrust block, hid them where only he ecu Id find them again, filled the boilers by hand. Wedged the sliding- doors of the coal bunkers, and rested from his labors. The en gine room was a cemetery, and It did something new In this part of the coun not need a bucketful of ashes tipped " try, and our efforts are already crown over the! skylight to make It any worsef ed with success." . : , Ho Invited the skipper to look at the I Mr. Morse makes a specialty of play completed, work. . , . - ' Ing obllgatos for concert singers, which "Saw: ye pver such a forsaken wraeV' requires considerable taste and rood as that?" hcaald proudly.: "It almost frights me to go under those shore Now. what d'you think they'M do to u?" "Walt till we see," said the skipper. "It'll be bad enough when It comes." - He was not wrong. The pleasant days of towing ended all too soon, though the Haliotis trailed behind her a heavily weighted jib stayed out into the Bhane of a pocket, and Mr. Ward rop was no loneer an artist of Imag ination- but one of seven-and-twenty prisoners In a prison full of insects. The man-of-war had towed them to tho neatest port, hot to the headquarters of the colony, and when Mr. Ward rop saw the dismal Utile harbor, with its ragged line of Chinese junks, its one crazy tug, tho boat-building shed, that, under tho charge of a phllo. sophical Malay, represented a dock' yard, he sighed and shook his head. "I did well." ho said. "This is the habitation o' wreckers an' thieves. We're at the uttermost ends of tne earth. Think you they'll ever know in England T Is Our .Muklru Steam Vet.

There were the pearls; there were the noachors; and there sat a small but hot governor.

To understand tho 'blessings one's own country enjoys, it is only nocessary to go to another where they do not ex ist. No habeas corpus, personal liberty unknown, the whim of a magistrate the measure of a man's liberty, tho pleasure of a procureur, the tension of one's rights, these are some of the priv ileges which liberty, equullty and fra ternity as the French understand them bring In their train. And yet French men see nothing to complain of, no doubt because they know nothing bet ter. Maxims of law which with us are self evident ns the sun have never oc curred to the l' rench mind even to think of. "It Is not the custom of the Komans to give any man to die until he that la accused have the accuser face to face that he may answer for himself." Neither is it the custom of Americans. In France men are every day con demned in their absence "par contu mace" as tho lawyers call It, to any pen alty the law awards for the offenc charged, and when arrested the penalt may be summarily inflicted. A man who has been convicted of felony can at any moment be charged with the perpetra tion of another. It may be that thera Is not tho slightest proof against him out he does not eecape on that account. Every prison In the country holds men who It Is almost certain are Innocent condemned as capable of some crime of which the real perpetrator has not been llscovered. Domiciliary visits if not bo frequent ore Just as liable to harden under the republic as under the empire with redress for no man. Frenchmen are fond of repeating that French jus tlce makes no mistakes and when any such are proved the explanation hi that lustice was misled, and those who are not the sufferers care very little for tnose wno are. Doubtless it takes time for a legal Eys tern to grow and when a people is once accustomed to its own, it accepts details ns natural, but no American can see European methods without feeling thankful that his own traditions have led him to expect something with which the systemB of Europe have scarcely anything in common.
