Then, us quick aa a flash, befoie I could comprehend her aim, she took up a volume of one of tho ery best eets of Scott In the placj, bound In tree calf, opened It at tho center, wrote something quickly, calmly tore out the leaf, handed It to me, smiled and went out.

We learned, however, upon J caching the llagsltlp, that two rams had previous ly attacked the btdo-wheeler, Mercl dltn, killing I luce men bj a shot In her bolleis, and that n shoe In the steam drum of the Keystone State had killed 21 men besides wounding 13 more. Af ter firing llteo shots tho ram had left them and moved tip the channel where one had stopped to engage the Hou satonlc. TOWING PRIZE TO PORT. The two vessels were then towed to Port Roi.nl.
