HERB nro many bettor known
spots on this globo than Maho,
Soychollos Islands, but very row
that can offer such a variety of
adventures and adventurers as ono
will meet with at that little port
in the Indian Ocean.
The Pacific developed Us Bully
Hayes, the Australian bush shel
tered tho notorious Captain Star
light, and Tasmania in the seventies was tho
theater for tho exploits of Coventry Strlko-a-ILIght,
but It is doubtful if cither of thoso 'Wor
thies at their best, or worst, had anything on
tho bright particular star of tho Indian Ocean,
Red Saunders.
To have known Saunders was a l'lberal educa
tion, and when a turn of Damo Fortuno's wheel
'.pitched me out on tho beach at Mahe and into
his company, tho flcklo old lady unwittingly did
mo a service not to bo too highly esteemed.
Thero is only ono plaqo In the little town that
a sailor is likely to bring up in Francois' 'Ma
hogany Bar;" and llko overybody else I had hung
-around that rum ranch until money was as
'Scarce as frog's feathers. I was trying to figure
out my next movo when Red Saunders hovo in
sight.
Tho barkeep, I suppose on the same principle
that leads a sawbones to give a poor devil a
doso of dope preparatory to abbreviating his
jlongltude by a leg, sot a bottle of liquid tin
tacks up for me, with tho kind intimation to
""have ono on tho house and clear to blazes out
of here," and my outlook seemed about as bright
as the soul of a Chinaman, when a red-topped
.giant, six foot six by about four feet beam, rolled
in through tho door and strodo up to tho bar.
"Barkeep, where. In Tophot aro all the hugger
muggers today?" ho growled in a voice like
Mauna-Loa in eruption.
"Suds" briefly indicated my now unprofitable
-carcass and shrugged his shoulders, remarking
that business was bad, or even I should havo
;beon on my way before now.
Solitude will breed strange comradeship any
where, and having nothing elso to nail his at
tention, Saunders took a good look over mo and
shoved tho "tacks" my way again, saying as ho
"let go tho- bottle:
"You don't seem dazzling with diamonds,
matey, but maybe you can shoot the guff, so take
another pearler's peg and Leep me company for
a spell."
Wo took our vitriol over to a table and stretch
ed logs, giving and receiving the news of tho
beach, while I was debating in my mind whether
it would be worth while for mo to broach to this
copper-nobbed stranger the scheme that had kept
me awako nights for months. Though gossip and
rumor had mndo Saunders familiar to overybody
on the beach, tho man had never crossed my
'bows until ten minutes before, and what or who
'ho was little Wllllo could not havo guessed. Pre
vious to his entry there had been nothing on my
'horizon, and ho certainly was a sociable sort of
fbrtito; so putting all my trade in ono bottom, I
opened out and laid my dream out for Red to
pass on. Sqhl I:
"You look like a blue-water man, none bluer,
and, if you can find tho hooker, I can lead you to
the place where minted moguls are lying, not too
.far down for a number ono diver to get at; but
I'm cleaned out, busted to blazes, and can't even
-.subscribe to tho tucker bill. I'm all In, but this
yarn's straight stuff; If you're looking for a flut
ter, hero's a chance. What d'ye say?"
I was keenly aware of a cold steely drlvo
through and through from a gimlet eye boforo
that mighty voice rumbled forth:
"Show your goods, perish your pelt! That guff
1s too easy to iia&a If you've got no rock3 at bot
tom. I've got a little schooner out In tho bay
Tight now; she's ready for any trip from nlgger
ateallng to pearl-poaching, and can bo handled by
"two sailor-men; but give us tho yarn and give It
straight, or by the peak of perdition I'll hazo you
for trying to throw tho bull at Red Saunders!
Hero, Francois, give that bottle a fair wind, and
leave It here."
"Bark in 1S75," I began, "tho clipper ship
Strathmoro, outward bound for Otago, Now Zea
land, piled up on the Crozets, and when she went
tip had fifty odd peoplo aboard, all colonists, and
all carrying their entire worldly capital In tho
ship's strong box. Tho amount of cash aboard,
including a sum fjr payment of government sal
aries, was somewhere around twenty thousand
pounds sterling, or ono hundred thousand If you
want It In dollars.
"The people were taken off after moro than
six months of misery, but tho stuff Is still thero,
-and I think can bo got by a diver, Tho spot Is
well laid' down and I can tako you there. How's
It striko you, cap'n?"
Red took his second-mate's nip at a gulp and
gripped me my the arm, growling llko a "south
erly buster":
"Seo hero, young fellow-my-lad, I've Ets. i
streak of Intelligence In mo today, and It seems
to me that you aro sailing straight. Anyway, I
like the cut of your phiz, and as I've got nothing
lietter on hand, I'm going to .take you up on that
Strathmoro Job, and we'll get our hook this same
Tiiddy p. m. I'll stand tho stores and put my
"boat In it; you'll take us there and we'll go alone,
share and share, fifty and fifty; and you'd bet
ter bo suro you're sailing straight, for I'm an
ugly bllghtor when I find I'm being blistered!"
That settled, tho hash so far as I was con
corned; I had no dunnage to stow, and Red sim
ply yanked me out of tho bar and down to tho
beach, where his boat was lying, telling me to
row out to a little black schooner In tho road
stead and cast off tho .stops, while ho wont up to
tho town to get a barrel of beef and some small
stores.
Tho littlo vessel I boarded was certainly a
beauty regular yacht In lines and deck fittings.
When well undor wry and heading for the
east coast of Madagascar, wo arranged to keop
watch and watch, and each to call tho other If
the pchooner got out of hand, but after Red
bhowed mo how tho little hooker would lay her
course with tho .wheel In a becket I had no
iualms as to the necessity for moro hands, and
decided that I would not bo tho first ono to
"call tho watch."
We took our supper on the cabin skylight to
gether and I brpached tho subject of diving, hav
ing In mind tho fact that what wo woro going
for wauundor water. My big mato split his dial
with a hugo grin nt my query and roared;
"Say, sonny, what In d'you think 1 am?
Don't tho littlo ship and the air-pump and flxln's
tell ye nnythlng? May as well toll you right now,
I s'pose I'm a pearl-poacher, that's what; run .
out of tho Straits by a blasted British gunboat
that copped my Kanaka crew and nearly bottled
me.
"Yes, boy, not ono of yor hold-yor-noso, rock-at-yer-fcet,
two-mlnuto diver boys, but n reg'lar
tin-hat, load-shoes, rubber-suited, Btay-for-evor
shark; and if that box of boodle is still whero
you figure on, bet your last thirst wo'll get it,
and got it all, by Satan!"
The afternoon of the eighteenth day out from
Maho wo raised tho rocky peaks of East Island,
four thousand feet high, and as it was nover cor
tain that a landing could bo mado, wo stood on
till dusk nnd hovo to for tho night, getting every
thing roady for a full day's hard graft on tho
morrow.
But it was not the next day that wo took up
our berth, nor for two more after that. Dirty
weather, commoner down in that God-forsaken
penguin hatchery than suckers on Broadway, set
in with a bump, and for thrco days our littlo
Pearl had to fight tooth nnd nail to hold her po
sition within hall of tho islands.
On tho fourth dny the breeze blow out and left
Just a good working air, so wo hauled up and
stood in for tho rocks again, this tlmo gottlng
close enough to let go our warp aud take tho
lines ashore
By the official report of tho wreck, wo wore
pretty sure that we wcro right on tho spot, and
this was established when, after sounding all
round tho schooner, tho lead fouled something,
aud brought away a plcco of sea-rotted ropo from
a depth of twelve fathoms.
On tho principle that a Job woll started In half
way done, wo soon had tho diving gear laid out,
and at dead low water I manned tho wheel of tho
air-pump, after screwing up my mate's helmet,
nnd our quest was on when Red clambered over
tho low rail and slipped Into tho cold depths.
At the end of anhour tho signal camo to haul
up, and when Saunders bobbed over tho rail and
hnd his head-gear removed, he reported that wo
wero almost plumb over tho poop of tho wreck,
and by ranging ahead twenty feet could drop a
line down her cabin skylight.
We shifted our position and went below to get
a blto of tucker against tho next spoil, while my
mato voiced his opinion that:
"Wo would havo been better fixed had wo
toted some explosive along, for tho ruddy ship
is steol, and quite likely had a strong room un
der the cabin."
Wo expected, howevor, to striko some snags,
as thero aro mostly always plenty of spikes to
a hundrcd-thousand-dollar bouquet. After our
brief spell for grub, Saunders got over tho sldo
again and took crowbars along, Intending, as ho
said. "To bust something or eat tho bars."
Next time he came to tho surface ho brought
up a rusty cluoiionieter, the mahogany caso ot
which was quite good, and said ho had located
tho safe, which was build Into tho steel bulk
head of tho skipper's cabin. ,
"What do you think of tho chances of hook
ing anything, Red?" I asked, when ho had
crawled out of his casing.
"Tell you tomorrow, son," he grunted. "Seems
a tougher lay than cracking open pearl-sholl, but
If tho weather gives us a good fair tilt at It,
thero's a chance of busting her with tho bar, I
think."
As soon ns It was light enough to grope, an
othor start was mndo on tho wreck, and wo
know that It would be a case of pulling up tho
chest or giving up tho chaso at tho end of that
day's work.
Red took along everything wo had that was
likely to bo useful below, and remarked as he
put his head Into his hat:
"What don't como adrift this spell will have to
wait for dynamlto or Gabriel's big bassoon, for
I won't como up till tho bars bend double!"
What titanic efforts ho must havo put forth
down below wero well proven by tho bundlo of
crowbars he sent up on a lino, bent to horseshoo
shape; and attached to tho line was tho handle
of a safe. Ho did not como up for some tlmo
yet, however, and Triton only knows what ho
actually succeeded In doing, but when at long
last ho signaled and was hauled up, ho had a
small tin box mado fast to his waist.
No sooner was ho froo of tho head-gear and
nblo to speak, than ho blurted out:
"Good Gordon's beer, bo', .she's too much for
me! Every blasted trick did I work on that Iron
locker, but I might ns well dig Into tho great
pyramid with a cream-puff for all tho impress
slon I could make with thoso bars!"
If tho safo had been as easy to break as tho
box was, wo would havo had those spondulicks
aboard by now, for ono craok with tho end of a
bar concertlna-ed our find, which contained tho
ship's papers and sundry private documents, evi
dently tho captain's.
No good could come of hanging round nny
longer, nftor wo decided tho Job was too big for
our limited means to tackle, ho we lost not a mo
ment In getting our lines nnd hauling off to tho
anchor. Then,, before hoisting our canvas, we
took the casks aBhoro for water, filling them at
the same place as thoso 'poor devils must havo
used years before, and taking p look at tho site
of their enmp, whore they had mado a dugout in
tho cllffsldo for tho lady and child of tho party.
We might havo spent moro tlmo looking
nround this placo had tho weather looked pret
tier, but Saunders had his eyo to windward, and
suddenly ho Jerked mo by tho arm and growled:
"Say, young follow, wo don't want to duplicate
tho Robinson Crusoo act this trip not for senti
ment anyway; and that's Just about what wo'll
do If wo don't get our hook nnd edge oft this
spot of dirt In a numbor ono hurry, or I'm no
Mother Shlpton."
Pointing to tho westward, Red asked mo If I
had over seen tho "Roaring Forties" on a tear;
and suro enough It looked llko good-night for us
if wo failed to ratch off shoro boforo tho storm
hit' down on us.
That galo followed us for a week, and wo did
dodge Kerguelen but not by moro than tho well
worn hairbreadth, and Red and I woro pretty
woll tuckered out for want of both sleep and
grub by tho tlmo tho sun shone again.
In our way north wo talked over tho falluro of
the venture and discussed tho possibility of re
turning Inter with a blasting outfit, but wcro
agreed that for tho presont wo should havo to
let tho Job wait. Snunders, however, broached
tho subject of tho old Iron stenm-frlgato Alcgrora,
wrecked on Saint Paul, mid after much chin
muslo hnil passed on tho subject wb decided
that wlillo wo woro in tho business wo might
Just ns well store up again In Mnho nhd mnko tho
trip ns a long shot, thoVo being Just an outside
chance that wo might land something that would
partly smooth over our falluro at tho Crozots.
With this new objoctivo wc hustled the little
Black Pearl all we know, cnrrylng whole-sail In a.
two-reef breeze, scooping up most of the Indinn
Ocean over the bows, and living In water day
nnd night, decks. 'cabin nnd caboose, with devil a
dry rag ot stick fore and aft, until wo raised tho
land closo aboard through tho haze, with Maho
harbor dead to leoward.
Every hour spent ashoro now was working on
a, dead horse, so Just as soon as the grub was
stowed aboard, toward sundown, sail was piled
on tho Black Pearl again nnd hor noso pointed
seaward for ono moro crack out of tho box.
For fourteen days tho littlo hooker snorted
through tho seas, and our reckoning showed us
to bo within a hundred miles of our Island, when
down camo a westerly howler, with torronts of
rain for good mensuro, nnd off wo scooted close
roofed, dead boforo It, and ns tho night wns as
black as tho back door of Hades, wo hopod there
was nothing nearor than Australia.
Our figures muBt havo been out some miles,
for around midnight tho schooner fetched up
with a Jolt like tho kick of a hundred-ton gun,
nnd then dived ovor tho bar arid broko in two,
spilling us out to fight through a swirl of broken
water and splintered tlmbors to a rocky shore.
Now hero was a holy mess if ovor two men
were In ono. Saint Paul might bo all right to
visit if ono woro Buro of making a getaway, but
for a permanent residence, not by a darned
sight!
Tho wreck wo camo to find did not show up
for somo long tlmo, nnd wo began to glvo up
hope of llndlng any traco of her, but, having
nothlug elso to do, wo kept up a search when In
tho humor. About six weoks after wo blow in
there, when I camo down from tho signal-staff
wo had oroctod, Red camo to meet me, looking
ns if ho had Just lost his mothor-ln-lnw. Asked
if ho hnd sighted a sail that had escaped me, ho
grunted:
"Nothing qulto so good as that, sonny; but
como along, perhaps you can put a namo on It,
or toll something nbout It. It looks like tho thing
wo camo for, and wo may as well give her a
rummage. If wo find anything, it won't ent any
thing, and wo may make a getaway from hero
after a whtlo."
Following him round tho point of rocks on
which wo had split up, wedged firmly In n crovlco
and burled in tho sand, could bo seen the tim
bers of the stern of what had been an Iron ship
"There, laddie, what d'yo make of that? I'vo
been scratching sand awny for days when you'vo
been up on tho hill, and this morning I wont In
side tho hull. Thero's a wholo lot of Btuff lying
on her floor, chests, barrels, old Junk of sorts,
nnd mnybo somo of It will pay us for a search."
When my mate came out between the ribs,
lugging a small, heavy, woodon chest, a brass
plato was still attached to tho lid, and tho let
tors, when wo had polished them up a bit with
goat's fat, surely road H. M. S. Megforn.
From what I remembered reading of her, nil
the valuables had been saved, as sho had been
at anchor everal vooks off tho Island before she
went up; but ovldenco was boforo us that somo
part had been overlooked, nnd n sharp rock In
Red's powerful fist speedily uncovered tho con
tents of tho box.
It wns specie nil right, and good gold British
sovereigns at that; two thousand by tho actual
count. Not a fortune by any means, but enough
-if wo ever got away with it to pay Saundora
for tho Joss of his schoonor, nnd glvo us both
nnother start.
Wo did not leavo that old Iron steam frlgnto
without ferreting every crook and cranny cap
able of holding a dollar bill endways, but not
anothor yellow boy wa3 uncovered, and wo lug
ged our find up to our camp to decide what wo
would do with It. We were both of opinion that
wo would havo to lenvo tho bulk of It behind H
we were taken off, and return and get It with
our own vessel, so wo fixed up goat-skin bolts
for each to carry ono hundred of tho little fel
lows, nnd sowed tho rest up In skins and cached
tho lot well abovo high-water mark.
Our reasons for leaving tho stuff wero good
for li r, ns If wo wore picked up nnd taken Into
a port with a bunch of gold coin In sneka, all tho
persuasion In tho world would not prevent somo
of tho crow of whatever picked us up babbling
out tho truth, and then wo would havo to nnto
up to the nuthorltles.
So our minds wero mado up and wo woro ready
to leavo when, on tho seventieth day of our
"Crusolng," a bark hovo to off tho island and
sent a boat ashoro to Investigate our slgnnl. Tho
transfer of our kit did not tako long, you may
bet; and that evening wo wero nboard tho
French bark Vendomo, bound for the Mauritius,
and being feted and palavered over as If wo wero
tho original prodigal sons como homo to Poppa.
Tho Vondomo mndo a good pnsaago north, wo
woro soon counting tho days now to elapse be
foro wo could mako a fresh start for Saint Paul,
and when sho dropped her mud-hook In Port
Louis, wo bundled oversldo Into tho first shore
boat alongside after thu port doctor and harbor
master had loft, shouting nu rovolr to our erst
while shipmates, and inviting thorn ull to muot
us in tho town later.
Tho pleasuro of returning their hospitality,
howevor, could not bo nllowcd to stop tho busi
ness on hand. Quickly casting about for a craft
to carry ua back to Snlnt Paul, luck favored ua
In tho shapo of a Mozambique dhow which was
held for debt and could bo bought outright for
eighty pounds.
Wo made tho best of our way down to Snlnt
Paul, arriving off our old ramp in fifteen days
from Port Louis.
No tlmo was wasted horo after finding that
our hoard had not vanished, nnd shipping tho
coin and putting aboard ono or two trifles wo
hnd left behind, such as air-pump, diving suit,
nnd so on, wo left tho Bamo ovenlng nnd pointed
our head north again, this time on tho last log
of tho crulso.
After a passage of twenty-four days from Saint
Paul and something over six months from our
departure on tho Crozots trip, our old wagon
poked her noso into Maho harbor and tho an
chor was let go for what I hoped would bo tho
laBt tlmo In tho Seychelles for mU nnyway.
When tho old dhow was sold, for Junk price,
wo found our totnl lmul footed up to two thou
sand nnd thirty pounds.
So, after a oplurgo In tho town, lasting a week
and spent mostly in tho rotgut foundry, I packed
my grip nnd took passago for Durban, declining
Saundors' Invitation to stay with him and Join
him on ono of his freobootlng cruises to Zanzibar.

PORTLY PARSON SPEAKS OUT

gyman who seems to bo given to
plain speaking, What ho said wns:
"I havo less patienco every day
with portly, well-fed ministers llko

about the blessings of poverty. Pov
erty is a sister of death nnd a cousin
of hell. Tho hymns that havo sung

they aro at least in freshing contrast
to tho pupky stuff, pious nnd other,
that wo hear bo often from moro or
less portly and oxtromoly well fed

Usually thoy claim to speak with
authority, for tho reason thnt they

invariably Ignore tho fact that thero
aro several ways of bolng poor, and
nevor onco do they provo tho sincer

own children to tho hardships which
thoy themselves onco endured.
In other words, thoy do not believe
a word thoy say, though they think j
thoy do, and thoy all know In their
hearts that whllo poverty Is by no
means always a fatal handicap In life.
