plowed its way along the left side
of hit head, barely missing the tem

his comfort. The hospital physicians
cave little hope. Chalmers secured
tho best medical talent in New Or
Scans and wired the facts to a famous
3Srcw York specialist. lie then re
joined his companions at the hotel.
The aftornooa papers contained ac
counts of the tragedy, and related
the story of tho surrender of Capt.

York, a conference was held in Sid

ishmcut. Sidney agreed to obtain
bail for him, and for tho other oHiuors
of the "Shark." On Monday bail
was llxed at $10,000 for Capt. Waters,
nud at $5,000 each for the arrested
olllcers, Mr. Hammond furnished
the necessary securities and was ac
eeptod as bondsman. For a time Capt
Waters refused to accept bail. He
preferred to stand punishment. Sid
ney argued with him for a long
time. 'Ho explained that it might be
months beforo a trial would bo held.
Capt. Waters finally consented to ac
cent ball, ile went to a hotel near
ihe jail, and reported regularly three
"times a day at police headquarters
3STo argument could convince him that
:this was not tho right thing o do.
(Jol, .John Jvlelntjre was tho solo
passenger on tho "Helen Carmody"
when ahe steamed past the forts and
vout Into tho Gulf of Mexico. In his
;big leather pocketbook was a cheek
(bearing the signature of Andrus
tCnrmody. Tho amount was entirely
taatisfactory to Col. Meintyrc.
The homecoming of the marooned
:milllonaires was an event never to
lie forgotten by those who partici
pated in or wituesMed it. It began
ut New Orleans. A special train from
New York, containing hundreds of
relatives and friends dashed into
.the Crescent city early tho following
DOOR
morning. Those who have followed
the events portrayed in these pages
an imagine fhe joy of the greeting
between the lost ones and those they
loved. Great crowds surrounded the
hotel, and would not be satisfied un
til fhe principals appeared on the
Iho balcony. TJic mayor made a
speech and introduced each man in
turn. Sidney Hammond received an
ovation as he stepped forward; one
sleeve of his coat hung vacant at
Ids side. Nor was the greeting to
Jlernard Seymour less cordial. Thcro
were repeated calls for Miss Car
mody, and when that young lady
appeared on the nrin of her father,
the demonstration reached its cli
max'. "
In a remote part of the city, whitc-
rohed nurses hovered over a man
whose staring eyes showed no gleam
of sanity. His head was in bandages
and he muttered" incoherent phrases
as he tossed in a fever of delirium.
Among those who greeted tho re
turned castaways at New Orleans
was Jtobert Van Hornc, editor of
the Ilocord, who arrived in New York
in time to take the special train
south. Mr. Van Hornc did not re-
lurn to New York with tho happy
throng. He brought with him three
of the most famous specialists In
the country, and soon stood at tho
bedside of Walter 11. Hestor. Mr.
Van Jlorne alone knew the recent
history of tho man who now hovered
between life, and death. He gave the
physicians the essential facts In tho
case.
A year or more before Hestor had
been injured in China. While con
ducting an expedition into tho inte
rior of that country his party had
been ambuscaded, and in tho melee
which followed Hestor was knocked
senseless by a blow on tho forehead,
delivered with great force by some
blunt instrument. The attacking
'P....1 .... ......... iV 'Ml. !...
lain nun: ui,i;ii wu. j, lit; im
mediate elTects of the blow were
slight, but several months later Hes
tor had a severe attack of acute
'traumatic 'meningitis, from which he
apparently fully recovered after a
long illness. Later he complained to
Mr. Van Hornc that his head troubled
him. He explained some, strange
,S3'mpfoins and was much worried.
4 if " f II
ncunc on ..nr. an Jiornc s novice,
Hestor consulted a specialist in brain
diseases. He was informed that in
all probability a clot of blood from a
ruptured blood vessel had formed and
was pressing against the brain tissue.
Hestor agreed to submit to an oper
ation, but postponed it and went on
another cruise. He suffered no far
mer attacic, ami toe incident was
forgotten by Mr. Van Hornc. It was
vividly recalled when Chalmers wired
his suspicions.
n examination at the hospital dis
closed fhe fact that the Seymour bul
let had plowed its course past the
point whero Hestor had sustained
the blow sonic 14 months before.
Without going into details of sut
gery, it is suUiclent to say that the
gun shot wound exposed and par
tially relieved the blood clot; the
existence of which had been sus
pect ed. Jt was successfully removed.
For a month Hestor hovered on the
border line, and then slowly moved
away irom tnc danger point, bidney
Hammond and Mr. Van Hornc alter
nated in remaining in New Orleans
until hp was on the road to recovery.
Hestor had no recollection of events
subsequent to the Chinese expedition.
In his delirium lie imagined himself
at the head of his men in that far
away Celestial empire. When lie
awoke from this fantasy, clothed in
his right mind, he recognized Sidney
Hammond and erected him with a
pleased but mystified smile.
"How came you here, dear old fel
low?" he asked as he reached out
a wasted-hand. "What are you doing
in China'.' What is the matter with
? Ah, L remember now! That
pig-tailed beggar hit me on tho head.
Hut where did you come from, Sid
nev?" Sidney made a non-committal an
swer and warned Hestor that no
must not talk or disturb himself in
a ay way until lie regained his
strength. During the period of con
valescence Hestor's curiosity was too
great to be denied, and Kidney evolved
a wonderful vnoricatlon. wlncli gave
a rational explanation of how Hestor
I happened to be, in New Orleans,
rather than in some city of tho
flowery kingdom It was' apparent
Hestor did not believe or understand
tills statement; but like all invalids,
he was eonjpelled to accept with the
best possible grace what was offered
him.
The physicians in charge of the
easo prepared a statement in which
it was set forth that Mr. Hestor had
been suffering from a clearly-defined
attack of amnesia, preceded by
a period of mild dementia. It pos
sessed many remarkable features,
but was by no means unprecedented.
"Do you believe his recovery a per
manent one, doctor?" asked Sidney,
anxiously.
"Qulen sabe?" replied Dr. Brown,.
"There is no reason why it should
not be a permanent one. Tho causo
is removed, and Jleslor Is now appar
ently in full possession of his fac
ulties. He is n strong, healthy man
and there is no taint of Insanity in
his family. The truth must be kept
from him until ho lias entirely re
gained his physical strength. Ho
should take a long ocean cruise, In
company with some one in whom ho
has complete confidence. That moans
you."
When these facts were explained
to Mr. Morton ami his associates,
they wero unanimous in a decision
to take no legal steps against Mr.
Hestor, or against Cnpt. Waters.
They were satisfied to await Hestor's
complete recovery, and wero confi
dent that he would make honorable
amends when acquainted with tho
faefs.
Ono afternoon Sidney informed
Hestor thut the physicians had ad
vised an ocean cruise, and that ho
would bo permitted to go on board
tho "Shark" in about two weeks.
Hcsfor urged fhat he should go to
New York and attend to certain
business affairs. This was not lis
tened to, and it was finally arranged
that Hestor give Mr. Hammond
power of attorney to look after such
matters as remiircd attention. Mr.
Van Home took Sidney's place wliilo
tho latter was in New York.
All of Mr. Hestor's property was
in interest-bearing securities, and
these required little or no attention.
Mr. Chalmers had not made public

lorton or others, hidncy found a
record of the various transactions In
a safety deposit vault. Ho then
called on Street. & Kogers and pre
sented his credentials. Their books
showed that Walter II. Hestor had a
credit of $112,000,000. He had orig
inally purchased 700,000 shares of
stock, and had issued instructions
which had been strictly carried out.
The money was due. from various
banks, trust companies, commission
and brokerage houses. Street &
Kogers had decided not to force pay
ments, fearing to distm-b the money
market. Mr. Hammond indorsed this
course and instructed them to grad
ually convert the credits into interest-bearing
securities.
Thus it happened, one fine Septem
ber afternoon, that the steam yacht
"Shark" sailed down the river from
New Orleans, destined for the wa
ters of the South I'acific. On board
were Walter 11. Hestor, Sidney Ham
mond, L. Sylvester Vincent and Ber
nard Seymouiv Mr. Vincent and Mr.
Seymour wero present at Mr. Ham
mond's invitafion, and Hestor was
delighted with his new acquaintances.
Vincent had a wonderful venture on
hand which demanded his presence
in southern waters, and Mr. Seymour
proposed to gather the materials for
a book, which, he asserted, "would
make them all sit up nights." And
on tho deck of Hie "Shark," with
Capt. Waters once more in command,
this narrative will leave them.
The later events in the lives of
these characters must be relegated
to some future chapters. It may
be said in closing that the doors of
tho Carmody mansion were not
closed to Mr. William Chalmers, man
aging editor of the New York Kec-
ord.

A fine, specimen of the bull is to bo
credited to Sir Thomas Myles, an
eminent Irish surgeon and an ex
president of the College of Surgeons
in Ireland. He made, it in the course
of a speech delivered at the meeting
of the Solicitors' Apprentices' Debat
ing society iu Djublin. The subject
of the address was "Cecil Ithodcs."
Sir Thomas paid a high tribute, to
the force, of character, the spirit of
personal independence, and the in
domitable, courage of Englishmen.
He pictured the British empire as
having been in danger at fhe time of
the laic war, and asked with em
phasis, "Was England to stand with
her arms folded and her hands in her
pockets'.1" When he realized from
the attitude of his audience what ho
had done, he observed that his only
apology was that lie was an Irishman.
