She carried too much sail, and she has gone down.” “She never goes down,” replied one of the seamen. “No! no!” exclaimed many voices; “but we shall if we do not run back.” “Pooh! nonsense! Mynheer Vander decken, what say you?” "I have already stated my opinions,” replied Philip, who was anxious, If possible, to see the ship one more In port, “that the best thing we can do is to bear up for Table Bay.” “And, captain,” continued the old seaman who had Just spoken, “we are all determined that it shall be so, whether you like it or not; so up with the helm, my hearty, and Mynheer Vanderdecken will trim the sails.” “Why! what is this?” cried Captain Barentz. “A mutiny on board of the Vrow Katrina? Impossible! The Vrow Katrina! the best ship, the fast est in the whole fleet!” <*ml-a. _ 1 _* _ nn</^r1 * uuntni wiu i wnv one of the seamen. "What!” cried the captain; “what do I hear? Mynheer Vanderdecken, con fine that lying rascal for mutiny.” "Pooh! nonsense! he’s mad,” replied the old seaman. "Never mind him; come. Mynheer Vanderdecken, we wi' obey you; but the helm must be up Im mediately.” The captain stormed, but Philip, by acknowledging the superiority of his vessel, at the same time that he blam ed the seamen for their panic, pointed out to him the necessity of compli ance, and Mynheer Barentz at last consented. The helm was put up, the sails trimmed, and the Vrow Katerina rolled heavily before the gale. Toward the evening the weather moderated, and the sky cleared up; both sea and wind subsided fast; the leaking de creased, and Philip was In hopes that In a day or two they would arrive safe ly in the bay. As they steered their course, so did the wind gradually decrease, until at last It fell calm; nothing remained of the tempest but a long heavy swell which set to the westward, and before which the Vrow Katerina was gradu ally drifting. This was a respite to the worn-out seamen, and also to the troops and passengers who had been cooped below or drenched on the main deck. The upper-deck was crowded; moth ers basked in the warm sun, with their children In their arms. The rlggtng was filled with the wet clothes, which w'ere hung up to dry on every part of the shrouds, and the seamen were busily employed in repairing the in juries of the gale. By their reckoning, they were not more than fifty miles from Table Bay. and each moment they expected to see the land to the southward of it. All was again mirth, and everyone on board, except Philip, considered that danger was no more to be apprehended. The sun had set before Philip had quitted the gangway and gone down below. Commending himself, and those embarked with him, to the care of Providence, he at last fell asleep; but before the bell was struck eight times, to announce midnight, he was awakened by a rude shove of the shoul der, and perceiving Krantz, the second mate, who had the first watch, stand ing by him. t»y me ueuveu auuve us, vanaer decken, you have prophesied right. Up —quick! The ship's on fire!" "On fire!” exclaimed Vanderdecken, Jumping out of his berth—“where?" "The main hold.” "I will up immediately, Krantz. In the meantime, keep the hatches on and rig the pumps." In less than a minute Philip wa3 on deck, where he found Capt. Barent, who had also been informed of the case by the second mate. In a few words all was explained by Krantz; there was a strong smell of fire pro ceeding from the main hold; and, on removing one of the hatches, which he had done without calling for any as sistance, from a knowledge of the pan ic it would create, he found that the hold was full of smoke; he had put it on again Immediately, and had only made it known to Philip and the cap tain. “Thanks for your presence of mind," replied Philip; "we have now time to reflect quietly on what is to be done. If the troops and the poor women and children knew their danger, their alarm would have much impeded us; but how could she have taken fire in the main hold?" "I never heard of the Vrow Katerina taking Are before,” observed the cap tain; “I think it is impossible. It must be some mistake—she Is—" "I now recollect that we have In our cargo several cases of vitriol in bot tles,” interrupted Philip. "In the gale I they must have been disturbed and broken. I kept them above all, in case of accident; this Tolling, gunwale un der, for so long a time, have occa sioned one of them to fetch way.” I “That’s tt, depend upon It," observed j Krantz. 4++<H-H+++++++'J+++'H4+m* “I did object to receive them,” stat ing that they ought to go out in some vessel which was not so incumbered with troops, so that they might re main on the main deck; but they re plied that the invoices were made out and could not be altered. But now to act. My idea is to keep the hatches on, so as to smother it if possible.” “Yes,” replied Krantz, “and at the same time cut a hole in the deck just large enough to admit the hose and pump as much water as we can into the hold.” “You are right, Krantz; send for the carpenter and set him to work. I will turn the hands up, and speak to the men. I smell the fire now very strong; there is no time to lose. If we can only keep the troops and the women quiet we may do something.” Two hours later, however, the fire had gained such headway that they had to take measures to abandon the ship. i ne column or nre now ascenaeu above the maintop—licking with its forky tongue the topmast rigging—and embracing the mainmast in its folds; and the loud roar with which it as cended proved the violence and rapid ity of the combustion below, and how little time there was to be lost. The lower and main decks were now so fill ed with smoke that no one could re main there; some poor fellows, sick in their cots, had long been smothered, for they had been forgotten. The swell had much subsided, and there was not a breath of wind; the smoke which rose from the hatchways ascended straight up in the air, which, as the vessel had lost all steerage way, was fortunate. The boats were soon in the water, and trusty men placed in them; the spars were launched over, arranged by the men in the boats and lashed together. All the gratings were then collected and firmly fixed upon the spars for the people to sit upon; and Philip’s heart was glad at the prospect which he now had of sav ing the numbers which were em barked. CHAPTER XVI. But their difficulties were not sur mounted—the fire now had communi cated to the main deck, and burst out of the port holes amidships—and the raft which had been forming along side was obliged to be drifted astern, where it was more exposed to the swell. This retarded their labor, and, in the meantime, the fire was making rapid progress; the mainmast, which had long been burning, fell over the side with the lurching of the vessel, and the flames out of the main deck ports soon showed their points above the bulwarks, while volumes of smoke were poured in upon the upper deck, almost suffocating the numbers which were crowded there; for all commun ication with the fore part of the ship had been for some time cut off by the flames, and everyone had retreated aft. The women and children were now carried on to the poop, not only to re move them further from the suffocat ing smoke, but that they might be lowered down to the raft from the stern. It was about 4 o'clock In the morn ing when all was ready, and by the exertions of Philip and the seamen, notwithstanding the swell, the women and children were safely placed on the raft, where it was considered that they would be less in the way, as the men could relieve each other in pull ing when they were tired. After the women and children had been lowered down, the troops- were next ordered to descend by the lad ders; some few were lost in the at tempt, falling under the boat’s bottom and not reappearing; but two-thirds of them were safely put on the berths they were ordered to take by Krantz, who had gone down to superintend this Important arrangement. Such had been the vigilance of Philip, who had re quested Capt. Barentz to stand over the spirit room hatch, with pistols, un til the smoke on the main deck render ed the precaution unnecessary, that not a single person was intoxicated, and to this might be ascribed the order and regularity which had prevailed during this trying scene. But before one-third of the soldiers had descend ed by the stern ladder, the fire burst out of the stern windows with a vio lence that nothing could withstand; spouts of vivid flame extended several feet from the vessel, roaring with the force of a blowpipe; at the same time the flames burst through all the after ports of the main deck, and those re maining on board found themselves en circled with fire and suffocated with smoke and heat. The stern ladders were consumed in a minute and drop ped into the sea; the boats which had been receiving the men were obliged also to back astern from the intense heat of the flames; even those on the raft shrieked as they found themselves scorched by the Ignited fragments which fell on them as they were en veloped in an opaque cloud of smoke, which hid from them those who still remained on the deck of the vessel. Philip attempted to speak to those on board, but he was not heard. A scene of confusion took place which endfcd in great loss of life. The only object ap pcared to be who should first escape, though, except by jumping overboard, there was no escape. Had they waited, and (as Philip would have pointed out to them) have one by one thrown themselves into the sea, the men in the boats were fully prepaied to pick ’hem up; or had they climbed out to be c-d of the lateen mizzen-yard, which was lowered down, they might have descended safely by a rope, but the scorching of the flames which surrounded them and the suffocation from the smoke was overpowering,and most of the soldiers sprang over the taffrail at once, or as nearly so as pos sible. The consequence was, that there were thirty or forty in the water at the same time, and the scene was as heart rending as it was appalling; the sail ors in the boats dragging them in as fast as they could—the women on the raft, throwing to them loose garments to haul them in; at one time a wife shrieking as she saw her husband struggling and sinking into eternity; at another, curses and execrations from the swimmer who was grappled with by the drowning man, and drag ged with him under the surface. Of eighty men who were left of the troops on board at the time of the bursting out of the flames from the stern win dows, but twenty-five were saved. There were but few seamen left on board with Philip, the major part hav ing been employed in making the raft or manning the three boats; those who were on board remained by his side, regulating their motions by his. After allowing full time for the sol diers to be picked up, Philip ordered the men to climb out to the end of the lateen yard which hung on the taffrail, and either to lower themselves down on the raft if it was under, or to give notice to the boats to receive them. The raft had been dropped fur ther astern by the seamen, that those on board of it might not suffer from the smoke and heat; and the sailors, one after another, lowered themselves down and were received by the boats. Philip desired Capt. Barentz to go before him, but the captain refused. He was too much choked with smoke to say why, but no doubt that it would have been something in praise of the Vrow Katerina. Philip then climbed out; he was followed by the captain, and they were both received into one of tne coats. The rope, which had hitherto held the raft to the ship, was now cast off, and it was taken in by the boats; and in a short time the Vrow Katerina was borne to leeward of them, and Philip and Krantz now made arrange ments for the better disposal of the people. The sailors were almost all put into boats, that they might relieve one another in pulling; the remainder were placed on the raft, along with the soldiers, the women and the chil dren. Notwithstanding that the boat3 were all as much loaded as they could well bear, the numbers on the raft were so great that it sunk nearly a foot under the water when the swell of the sea poured upon it; but stanch ions and ropes to support those on board had been fixed, and the men re mained at the sides, while the women and children were crowded together in the middle. As soon as these arrangements were made the boats took the raft in tow, and, just as the dawn of day appeared, pulled in the direction of the land. The Vrow Katerina was by this time one volume of flame; she had drifted about half a mile to leeward, and Capt. Barentz, who was watching a3 he -at in the boat with Philip, ex claimed; “Well, there goes a lovely ship—a ship that could do everything but speak. Pm sure that not a ship in the fleet would have made such a bonfire as she has. Does she not burn beautifully—nobly? My poor Vrow Katerina! perfect to the last; we never shall see such a ship as you again. Well, Pm glad my father did not live to see this sight, for it would have broken his heart, poor man.” (To be continued.) ~ Invention of the Telephone* In a recent lecture Prof. Alexander Graham Bell is reported to have ex plained how he came to invent the tel ephons as follows: “My father invent ed a symbol by which deaf mutes could converse, and finally I Invented an ap paratus by which the vibrations of speech could be seen, and it turned out to be a telephone. It occurred to me to make a machine that would enable one to hear vibrations. I went to an aurlst, and he advised me to take the | human ear as my model. He supplied me with a dead man’s ear, and with this ear I experimented and upon ap plying the apparatus I found the dead man’s ear wrote down the vibrations, I arrived at the conclusion that if I could make iron vibrate on a dead: man’s ear I could make an instrument more delicate, which would cause those vibrations to be heard and understood. I thought if I placed a delicate pteee of steel over an electric magnet I could get a vibration, and thus the telephone was completed. The telephone arose from my attempts to teach the deaf to speak. It arose from my knowledge, not of electricity, but as a teacher of the deaf. Had I been an electrician I would not have attempted it. Case Triad on Train. A few years ago a county court ac tion was triad on a train. The Judge could not complete the case in the or dinary way, owing to the absence of an important witness, who was ex pected to arrive by the train by which his honor was due to leave. It was therefore decided that the judge and advocates should travel with tie wit ness, and try the case in the railway carriage. This course was adopted, ! and the Judge ultimately gave the ver ■ diet in the statlonmastcr’s private room at a station farther down the | line. SOUTHERN UTE RESERVATION Indian Lands In Colorado Opened to Settlers. The opening of the Southern Ute Indian Reservation has at last been accomplished. This vast area of arable lands, fifteen by sixty miles in extent, lies on either side of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, South and East of Durango. Under the law, the Ute In dians are entitled to 374 allotments, leaving about 636,000 acres subject to entry under the desert homestead, tim ber and townsite laws and the laws governing the disposal of coal, min eral, stone and timber lands, and as the Indians may lease their allotments, intelligent white men will soon con trol many of them at reasonable rent als. The lands embrace both valley and mesa, or uplands, but the supply of water for irrigation is many times the amount required, making the lands suitable for grain and grasses, veg etables, alfalfa and fruit trees. Clover often yields three and one-half tons per acre. The stock industry gives promise of almost unlimited growth. The lands allotted to the Indians ag gregate 60,000 acres and are generally in compact form. They may be leased for three years for agricultural pur poses and ten years for mining and grazing lands. These leased lands are exempt from taxation and free from cost of water charges as the Indians own the canals and ditches. The rental is generally a small amount In cash and from one-third to one-fourth of the crops. The Indians may be hired to work at low wages. This money and the $50,000 which is to be paid to the Indians annually by the government “forever,” means plenty of the circu lating medium in the locality at all times. Homestead settlers are required to pay not les3 than $1.25 per acre, fifty cents of which, per acre, shall be paid at the time of filing. This pro vision shuts out the professional boom er and invites men of thrift and en ergy and industry. These will be the last of the public domain entries in Colorado. It is the last chance for cheap, fertile and enviable homes. The land offices are at Durango, Colo., the terminus of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad. The traveler from the mid dle West should take the Missouri Pa cific System to Pueblo where he will be taken by the Denver & Rio Grande which is the only line reaching the Ute Indian Reservation. It traverses for 60 miles the most desirable por tions of the lands subject to eutry. The ethics of wills has been cur iously illustrated in Germany. Herr Myer, owner cf a brewery at Johannes burg, left to the town of Stettin $75,000 to build a museum. The municipal cor poration, however, on presenting the usual petition, was informed by the minister of the interior that the em peror refused his consent for the pres ent, as the will violated a moral duty toward idigent relations, wrho had been excluded from all benefits by the will of the testator. The town was there fore called upon by the minister first to indemnify the needy relations of the deceased. Try Graln-ot Try Grain-*!

The heretofore rumored changes fa the system of paying the employes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad took, permanent shape last week at a meet ing of the heads of the several depart ments and general superintendents* called by General Manager Underwood for the consideration of that matter. It was determined to replace the pres ent dilatory process of running tha pay cars over the entire system, in volving an expenditure of three weeks* time in distributing a large bulk of currency aggregating one million dol lars per month, by a more convenient, expeditious and safer process of dis tributing through the hands of the sta tion agents checks payable at any one of the 37 banks upon the line of the system and by any agent of the com pany.

Stetson, of Buena Vista county, Iowa, report as follows of the Canadian North-West as to its suit ability for farming, and the advan tages it offers to the agricultural im migrant from the United States: "We came here solely to look up im^ proved farms and, if suitable, to se lect such as pleased us best. We have not visited the homestead districts at all, though we believe them to be very inviting. Our inquiries have been confined solely to the district around Hartney, Deloraine and towards the Souris River in Manitoba. Our im pressions of all that region are in every way satisfactory, and we have decided to go back to Iowa at once, and, having disposed of our several interests there, to return to Manitoba in the month of March next, and, ef fecting our purchase of improved farms, which we find we can do at reasonable rates, immediately begin farming. We are greatly pleased with all that we have seen in that part of Western Canada. The soil we find to be more than equal to that of our own country for wheat-growing, and the other conditions of climate, schools, markets, etc., are all that we could wish for. “To show what an energetic man can do we may mention that we found one such at Hartney who had rented a farm on shares, receiving two-thirds of the returns as his share of the crop. When he came to sell his own produce he found that his two-thirds, when converted into cash, was enough to buy the farm he rented out and out, which he accordingly did, and is now Its owner. It Is our intention to Induce as many of our friends as pos sible, who are practical farmers, to re move from Iowa to this country, where we believe there is a better future for the industrious man than is now to be found anywhere on this continent. We are well known in our part of the state of Iowa, and we in vite correspondence from its residents in all parts with regard to this re gion of Western Canada which we have visited, and to which we intend to return.” To a sculptor, arithmetic is not the only science of figures. flow'* ThUI We offer One Hundred Dollars reward forany rase of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall a.
