The fTallotl. a ship of English origin,
bat of very shady record, hu been pur
sued and captured by a cruiser which
found her trespassing- In forbidden waters
anil wrecked her engine with a shell. She
was found to be laden with stolen pearls.
The Victorious warship towed her captive
to land a remote Island under the trop-lc-but
meanwhile the. chief engineer, Mr.
Wardrop, succeeded In concealing certuln
parts of the machinery, which was not
ftitthcr tampered with. The crew, after
period of cruel treatment in the Jungles,
are Imprisoned in their own vessel, which
In tuposed to be wrecked beyond repair.
Mr. wa,rdrop, however, resolves to put, the
engine (n working order, and If possible
escape. The task Is terrible: but the men,
though almost swooning from pain and
t-xtiaustloix, urged and driven by War
drop's relentless will-force, have In part
succeeded. They are now endeavoring to
straighten the huge steel piston bars.
WHTV.
- Rut Ft' Is curious that no man knows
how the rods were straightened. Tne
crew of the Hallotls remember that
week very dimly, as a fever putient re-
members the delirium of a long night.
There were fires everywhere, they say;
the whole ship was one consuming fur
nace, and the hammers were never still.
No,w, there could not have been more
i man one nre at tne most, ror Mr. war
drop distinctly recalls that no straight
ening was done excent under his own
ye. They remember, too. that for
many years voices (rave orders whlcn
they obeyed with their bodies, but their
minds were abroad on.a'l the seas. It
seems to them that they stood through
days and nights slowly sliding a bar
backward and forward through a
white glow that was part of the ship.
They remember an Intolerable noise In
their burning heads from the walls of
the stokehole,. and they remember be
ing savagely beaten by men whose eyes
seemed, asleep. When their shift was
ovpr they would draw straight lines in
the air, anxiously and repeatedly, and
would question one another In .their
leep.Jcrylng: "Ib she straight?"
At last they do not remember
whether this was by day or night Mr.
Wardrop began to dance clumsily and
Wept the whlla, and they, too, danced
sited and Savage Swarmed Down Ucr
Hides.
"ttnd wept and went to sleep twitching
all over; and when they woke men said
that the rods were straightened and no
f one did any work for two days, but lay
on'th6 decks arid ate fruit. Mr. War
drop would go below from time to time
and nat the two rods where they lay,
and they heard him singing hymns.
' Then his trouble of mind went from
him, and at. the end of the third day's
Idleness he made a drawing in chalk
upon the deck, with letters of the al
phabet af the angles. He pointed
out that, though the piston rod was
' more lor less straight, the piston rod
' cross head tht thing that had been
'jammed slcfeways in the guides had
been badly strained, and had cracked
the lower end of the piston rod. He
was going to forge and shrink - a
wrought Iron collar on' the neck of the
piston rod where It joined the cross
head, .and from the collar he would bolt
a Y-shaped piece or Iron, whose lower
rfrrfls',8hoit!d be" bolted Into the cross
head. If anything more were needed
they could uue up the last of the boiler
plate, r
Bo the forges were lit again, and
men burned their bodies, but hardly
felt the pain. ' The finished connection
was not beautiful, . but It seemed
?trong enough at least as strong as
he rest of the machinery: and with
'that lob their labors came to an end.
All- that remained was to connect up
t'he engines' and to get food and water.
'The skipper and four men dealt with
'the Malay boat builder by night chief -'ly;
It was no time to haggle over the
price of sago and dried fish. The others
stayed aboard and replaced piston, pis
ton rod, cylinder cover, cross head and
bolts with tHe aid of the faithful don
key engine. The cylinder cover was
hardly 'steam proof, and the eye of
science might, have, seen, In the curve
: of the connecting rod. a flexure some
thing, like. .that of a Christmas tree
candle which had melted and been
straightened by hand - over a stove;
bvit. as Mr. Wardrop said: "She didn't
hit any'thrng."- '
i As soon as the last bolt was In place,
men tumbled over one another In their
anMety to set . to .the hand starting
gcr.r. the wheel and worm by which
engines can be moved where there Is
no r steana .aboard. They nearly
wrenched off the wheel; but It was
evident to the blindest eye that the
engines moved. They did not revolve
In their prblts with any enthusiasm,
aa good machines should. Indeed, they
groaned hot A little:' but they moved
over and came to rest In a way which
' proved that they still recognised man's
hand. Then Mr. Wardrop sent his
slaves Into the darker bowels of the
engine room and stokehole and fol
lowed them with a flare- lamp. The
boilers - were sound, but would take
no hfcrm from a little scaling and
cleaning. Mr. Wardrop would not have
anyone over aealouu, for he feared
what the next stroke of the tool might

they believed him. They did not ask
too much of what they met, but pol
ished and .tallowed and scraped It to
a false brilliancy.
"A lick of paint would make me
easier In my mind." said Mr. Wardrop,
plaintively. "I know half the condenser-tubes
are started: and the propeller
shaftln's God knows 'low far out of
the true, and we'll need a new air
pump, an" the main-steam leaks like
a sieve, but paint's like clothes to a
man, an' ours is near all gone."
The skipper unearthed some stale
ropy paint of the loathsome green that
they used for the InHtdes of sailing
ships, and Mr. Vardrop spread It abroad
lavishly to give the engines self-respect.
His own was returning day by day,
for he wore his lion-cloth continuously;
but the crew having worked under or
ders did not feel as he did: the com
pleted work satisfied Mr. Wardrop. He
wuuiu hi ine last nave made shirt to
run to Singapore, and gone home with
out vengeance taken, but the others and
the captain forbade him. They had not
yet recovered their self-respect.
"It would be safer to make what ye
might call a trial trip, but beggars
mustn't be choosers, an" If the engines
win go over to tne hand-gear the prob
ability I'm onlV savins It'n n nrnhg
bllity the chance U that they'll hold
up when we put steam on her."
"How long will you take to got
steam?" asked the skluner.
"od knows! Four hours a day
" wk. it i can raise sixty pounds
I'll not compltiln."
Be sure of her first: we can't afford
to go out half a mile and break down,"
said the skipper.
"My soul and body. man. we're one
i-ununuous Di-eaKriown fore and aft!
e inisni reton Singapore, though."
We'll break down at Pv
where we can do good." was the an
swer, in a voice that did not allow armi
meni, "She's my boat, and I've had
eigm momns to think In."
Wo man- saw the Hniintia ,inn.r
though many heard of ner. She left at
two in the morning, having cut her
moorings, and it was none of her crew's
pleasure that the engines should strike
up a tnunaering half-Bens-over chanty
that echoed among the hills. Mr. War
drop wiped away, a tear as he listened
to the new song.
"She's glbberln. she's Innt riii,nf.
In'," he whimpered. "It's the voice of
a maniac.
And If the engines have anv soul, as
their masters believe, he was quite
right. There were outcries and clam
ors, sobs and bursts of chattering
laughter, silences where the trained .par
yearned for the clear note and tortur
ing reduplications where there should
have been one deep voice. Down the
screw shaft ran murmurs and warn
ings, while a heart-diseased flutter
without told that the propelior needed
rekeying.
"How docs she make it?" said the
skipper.
"She moves, but she's breaking my
heart. The sooner we're at Pygang
Watal the better. She's mad, and we're
waking the town."
"Is she at all near safe?"
"What do I care how safe Bhe Is?
She's mad. Hear that, now! To be
sure, nothing's hlttln" anything, and
the bearin's are fairly cool, but can
ye hear?"
"If she goes," said the skipper, "I
don't care a cure, and she's my boat,
too."
She went trailing a fathom of weed
behind her. From a slow two knots
an hour she crawled up to a triumphant
iour. Anytning Deyond that made the
struts quiver dangerously and filled :he
engine "room with steam. Morning
showed her out of sl-ht of land, and
there was a visible ripple under her
bows; but she complained bitterly In
her bowels, and, as though the noise
had called It, there shot along across
the level sea a swift, dark prau, hawk
like and . curious, which presently
ranged alongside and hailed, wished to
know If the Hallotls were helpless.
Ships, even the steamers of the white
men, had been known to break down In
those Beas. and the honest Malay and
Javanese traders would sometimes aid
them in-. their own peculiar way. But
this ship was not full of lady passengers
and well-dressed officers. Men, white
men,' naked and savage, swarmed down
"Raying Across the Veep."
her sides, some with Iron bars red-hot
at the ends, and others with large ham
mers, threw .themselves upon -those In
nocent Inquiring strangers, and before
any man could say what had hap
pened .were in run possession or the
prau, while the lawful owners bobbed
In the water overside. Half an hour
later the prau's cargo of sago and tri
ps ng, as well as a doubtful-minded
compass, was In the Hallotls. The two
huge triangular mat sails, with their
70-foot yards and booms, had followed
the cargo and were being fitted to the
stripped masts of the steamer.
They rose, they sweued. thev filled.
and the empty steamer visibly laid over
as the wind took them. They gave her
near three knots an hour, and what
better could men ask. But, If she had
been forlorn before, this new purchase
maae ner nornoie to see. Imagine a
respectable charwoman In the tlirhts of
a ballet-dancer rolling drunk along the
streets,-and you will come to some faint
notion of the appearance of that nine-hundred-ton
well-decked once schoon
er-rigged caro-boat as she staggered
under her new' canvas, shouting and
raving acrons the deep. With steam and
sail that marvelous voyage continued;
and the bright-eyed crew looked over
the rail, desolate, unkempt, unshorn,
shamelessly clothed beyond the de
cencies. - r. .
At the end of the "third week she
sighted the Island of Pygang-Watal,
whose harbor Is the turning point of a
pearling sea patrol. Here the gunboats
stay for a week ere they retrace their
line. There Is no village at Pygana-
Watal; only a stream of water, some
palms and a harbor safe to rest In till
the first violence of the southeast mon
soon has blown Itself out. They opened
up tne ow -coral oeacn witn its long
mound of whitewashed coal ready for
supply, the deserted huts-for the sailors
and the ftagless flag-staff.
Next day there waa no Hallotls onlv
a little prau rocking in the warm rain
at the mouth of the harbor, whose crew
watched with hungry, eyes the smoke
of a 'gunboat on the hor lion.
Months afterward there were a fwf
lines In an English paper to the .effect
tnat some gunboat of some foreign
power had broken her . -back at . the
mouth of some faraway harbor by run
ning at full speed Into. sunken wreck.

NEWS OF QUE INDUSTRIES.
John B. Garrett, third vice-president of
the Lehigh Valley railroad, has been se
lected by that company to represent It In
the board of managers of the new Joint
Traffic association or the trunk Mae and
their western connections. . - ..
Bethlehem, Pa., Nov". 26. The Bethlehem
Iron company has received news of the
award of a contract for nearly 1,200 tons
of armor plate for the new Russian battle
ship Rostlslav. The contract will have
to be completed by fall of next year. There
were fourteen bidders for the work.- The
contract represents about 1600,000 and will
keep the ordnance works, employing 1,000
skilled workmen, running through the
winter. ...
The Pf nnsylvanla'"rallroad " is building
at its Altoona shops a train of light pas
senger coaches, to be used as kn experi
ment on one of Its suburban branches.
The recent experiment! made by the com
pany -with a suburban train of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
were not at all satisfactory, the cars be
ing too light. The' coaches' now being
built are-not unlike the present-staatard
Pennsylvania passenger cars, .except that
they are much lighter. - -'-
The forthcoming report of the-interstate
commerce commission will show that the'
recent financial depression threw out of
employment 03.094 railway employes. This
Is the first time a reduction In the number
of persons employed by railway corpora
tions has ever been noted.' The Increase
has been grsdual until a total of 173,602
was reached In the year 1090, The reduc
tion was general throughout the united
State with the exception- at the Pacific
lope. Where there was ah Increase of 2,400
In the total number of persons employed.
This was due to the feet that the Great
Northere -railway put In operation that
year nearly MO miles of road, that was
not Included In previous reports, and
similar extensions were made bv other
corporations. The eneateet derteasa Is
found la the central state. In te three

meat and there was a decrease la the pay
rolls of nearly 16 per cent. In Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota there
were even greater reductions. In those
states 06,160 person were thrown eat of
employment and there was a decrease of
15.36 per cent In the' pay roll. The enor
mous reduction In these particular locali
ties may be due In a measure to the em
ployment of a large number of extra men
In 1893 during the World' fair. In the
eastern and New England state only IS,
460 men were discharged and the pay rolls
were reduced only 6.80 per cent Another
fact of interest in thla connection la that
while the reduction was universal It waa
greatest among the employes engagea in
constructing and maintaining roadways
and least among employe engaged In
eAndnrtlnr transnnntation. The average
number of section foremen throughout the
United State wa not reducea, out tne
trackmen, who numbered 180,154 in 1S93,

tion In employe assigned to general ad
ministration wa 14.29 per cent, mainten
ance of way and construction 18.64 per
cent, maintenance or equipment it-w per
cent and transportation 11. U per cent.
The return from all the railways show
that the loss of revenue suffered from the
onmmerclal denrMitlnn was generally met
by a reduction in the number rather than
In the pay of employe. The average rate

RAILROAD NOTES.
It was announced that the Lehigh
Mallev Railroad Is laying plans to se
cure an outlet of Its own at the footJ
of Essex street. Jersey City, ana mat
It proposes to build a ferry from that
point to connect with New York. The
Greenville and Hudson Kaiiroaa torn
nanv has been organised to build a
new line of road with a capital of
$200,000. The directors of the company
are: John Hood, of Camden, uavia s,
Balrd, of Beverly, Thomas W. Hulme
and Fredrick H. Lee. of Mount holly,
and James B. Shaoerkotter. William
Brlnder and Madison E. Meredith, of
Philadelphia. These gentlemen are
closely connected with the Lehigh Val
ley Interests, and the new road will,
It Is said, eventually become part of
the Lehigh Valley. It will connect
with the main line of the Lehigh Vol
ley near Brown place, Jersey City,
with the present Lehigh Valley freight
depot in Jersey City, which is to be
come the main depot of the company,
At present the Lehigh Valley trains
run Into the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot In Jersey City.
Owing to various reasons, the Read
Ing plan of reorganization will not be
