THE ARMY ADVANCES
TROOPS OF YOUNG TURKS NEAR
SULTAN'S PALACE.
5E A PANIC IN THE CITY
Not Known at Present Time What
Are the Intentions of the Con
stitutionalist Leaders.
Constantinople. Heavy ritte firing
has been in progress since 4 o'clock
Friday morning, with the occasional
rattle of the artillery surrounding
Ylldla Kiosk. Indications are that an
engagement is in progress between
the advancing Snlonlkln troops and
the Ylldiz garrison.
The advance of the concentrated
army of investment began Friday af
ternoon. While the favored troops of
the Constantinople garrison were giv
ing homage to the sultan on Yildlz
hill there was a forward movement of
the constitutional forces on that side
I'era to within two and a half miles
of the Yildlz Kiosk. Cavalry went out
to reconnolter, and squads were sent
to picket the bridges across the Sweet
waters. A party of fifty American
tourists, Just arrived, who were driving
in carriages in that direction, were
turned back by horsemen. Infantry
was then observed advancing, and
rumors spread throughout the city
that, the army was about to enter the
capital and lighting was inevitable.
There was a veritable panic, with
much running to and fro and cries of
alarm. Shop keepers in a large part
of l'era put up their shutters. The
British ambassador. Sir G. A. Lowther,
was caught' in the swirling crowd near
the embassy, and hundreds of frantic
persons poured into the embassy com
pound, imploring asylum. The gates
of the embassy were closed with dif
ficulty, but it was late in the after
noon before the refugees were as
sured and sent homeward. The out
posts of the invaders remained within
about two miles of the palace at night.
On that side the city is entirely open,
the fortifications having been planned
to resist an approach by water.
It is impossible to say at the pres
ent time just what are the Intentions
of the leaders of the constitutionalists,
who represent two factions, the radi
cals and the conservatives. Evidently
the constitutionalists are of two
minds with regard to t lie ruler of their
' country. The parliamentary deputies,
who held meetings at San Stefano,
seem to be In favor of his deposition,
hut the splendid reception which was
accorded the sultan on his appearance
in public was a graphic demonstra
tion of the fact that his majesty re
tains a strong hold on the hearts of
his people. He was acclaimed by
thousands on his way from the gates
of the paluce to the White mnsipie
outside the Ylldiz Kiosk. Picked de
tachnients of troops in their brilliant
uniforms lined the line of march and
stood at salute.
N'o guarantees of any kind have
been given to the sultan by the consti
tutionalists, either with regard to his
retention on the throne or the se
curity of his person. The constitution
alists have practically control of the
government and are taking up a
passive attitude toward the sultan
Tekwfik Pasha, the grand vizier, and
his associates in the cabinet have
agreed to carry out the wishes of the
parliament.

CHAPTER III. Continued.
The Frenchmen thought they had
us. We heard afterward that a prize
crew was already told off to take us
into Cortmna, but no man or boy on
the AJax dreamed of giving up tho
ship.
The Ajax was cleared for action In
eleven minutes; and, with four ensigns
living, wo headed for the ship of the
line, which wns waltiig for us, with
her topsails shivering, The AJax had
ben lately coppered, and, with all
sail to royals set, legged it at a lively
pait, in spite of the heavy sea, which
occasionally caused our lower-deck
guns to roll their noses in the water.
As we wallowed toward tho ship of
the line, which was the Indomptnblc,
the frigate, the Xantippe, was maneuv
ering; for a position on our starboard
quarter to rake us. Seeing this, the
Ajax came up a little Into the wind,
which brought our broadside to bear
directly on the Xantippe, and she
hedged off a little.
The steadiness, coolness, and ite
cision with which the ship was han
dled astonished my young mind. I
knew very well that If wo were de
feated Sir Peter Hawkshaw would
stand no show of leniency, for there
was no doubt that, owing to our new
copper, we could easily have outsailed
tho Frenchmen; but Sir Peter pre
ferred to outfight them, even against
desperato odds.
The officers and men had entire con-fuK-nce
in Sir Peter and In the ship,
and went Into action wi'.h the hearti
est good will Imaginable. The people
were amused by two powder monkeys
coming to blows In tho magazine
passage over which one would be en
titled to the larger share of prize
money. Tho gayety of the men was
contagious. Every man's face wore a
grin; and when the word was given to
take In the royals, and send down the
yards, furl nil staysails and tho flying
jib, they literally rushed Into tho rig
gins with an "Aye, aye, sir," that
seemed to shake the deck.
Tho admiral, who had been on the
bridge, left It and went below. Pres
ently he canto up. He was In his best
uniform, with a gold -hilled sword, his
order of the Bath on his breast, and
he wore a cocked hat. As he passed
nie, Mr. Buxton, who was stepping
along briskly, said:
"Pardon me, Sir Peter, but a French
musket wants no better target than
a rocked hat."
"Sir," replied Sir Peter, "I have al
ways fought In a cocked hat and silk
stockings, as becomes :i gentleman;
and I shall always fight lu a cocked
hat and silk stockings, damme!"
Mr. Buxton passed on, laughing.
Now, I hud taken the opportunity,
after wo had sighted the Frenchman,
to run below and put on my newest
uniform, with silk stockings, and to
get out several cambric pocket hand
kerchiefs; and I had also scented my
self liberally with some attar of rose,
which I had bought in Portsmouth.
Sir Peter, putting his lingers to his
nose, sniffed the attar of rose, and,
speedily Identifying me, he surveyed
me calmly all over, while I blushed
and found myself unable to stand Mill
under his searching gaze. When he
spoke, however, it was in words of
praise. .'
"Nephew, you have the right Idea.
It Is a holiday when we meet the ene
my, and officers should dress accord
ingly." Mr. Buxton, who wns standing near,
sneaked off a little. He had on an
old coat, such as I had never seen
him wear, und had removed his stock
mid tied a red silk handkerchief
around his neck. He certainly did not
look tpilte the gentleman. The in
doinplable, being then about half a
mile distant, bore up and fired a shot
to windward, which was an Invitation
to come on and take a lirking or give
one. The Ajax was not misled into
the rashness of coming on, with the
Xantippe hanging on her quarter, hut
lulling up suddenly for she answered
her helm beautifully shn brought the
frigate directly under her guns; and
that fetched the Indornplable as fast
ns she could trot. The Ajax opened
tho ball with one of her long twenty
fours, Sir Peter himself slthOng and
1
pointing the gun; and Immediately
alter the whole broadside roared out.
Bad it struck the fl'i;.ile full, It would
hive sent her to the bottom; but by
hauling quickly by the wind, she only
received about half the discharge.
That, however, was teriibje. Her
tni..eniuast was cut off, and bung over
1-er side In a mass of torn rigging; her
mainmast was wounded; and It was
I lain that our broadside had killed
and wounded many men, and had dis
mounted several guns. Her wheel,
however, was uninjured, and In an iu
c.inceivably short time the wreck of
the mast had been cut away; and
wearing, with the wind In her favor,
she got into a raking position on our
port quarter, and gave us a broadside
that raked us from stern to stem.
Tho savage which dwells In man
lad made me perfectly Indifferent to
the loss of lire on the French ship; but
when a man dropped dead at my side.
1 fell Into a passion of rage, and, 1
must honestly admit, of fear. My sta
t'on was amidships, and I recalled,
with a dreadful sinking of the heart,
that It was commonly known as tho
daughter house, from the execution
pencrally done there.
I looked down and saw the man's
blood soaking into the sand, with
which the deck was plentifully
strewed, und I, Richard tJlyn, longed
to desert my station and run below.
But as 1 turned, 1 caught sight of Giles
Vernon, a little distance away from
iae. He was smiling and waving his
hat, nnd ho cried out:
"See, boys! the big 'un Is coming
to take her punishment! Huzza!"
The lndomptable had then ap
proached to within a quarter of a mile,
and as a heavy sea was Kicked up by
the wind, and all three of the ships
were rolling extremely, she luffed up
lo deliver her broadside; nnd at that
moment three thundering cheers broke
from the UOO throuls on the Ajax, and
they were Instantly answered by a
---t''
We Were So Near That Every Shot
Told.
cheer ns great from the Frenchman.
Owing to tho sharp roll, most of the
French shot went a 111 tie too high, just
above the heads of the marines, who
were drawn up In the waist of the
ship. My paroxysm of fear still held
me, but when 1 saw these men. with
the one proud word "Gibraltar" writ
ten on their hats, standing steadily, as
If at parade, in tho midst of tho hur
ricane of fire, the men as cool us their
officers, shame seized me for my cow
ardice; from that on, I gradually mas
tered my alarms. I hero mention a
strange thing; as Ions ns I was a
coward at heart, I was also a villain;
for If one single shot could have sent
the Frenchman's body to the sea nnd
his soul to hell, I would have fired that
shot. But when I was released from
the nightmare of fear, a feeling of
mercy stolo into my soul. I began to
feel for our brave enemy und to wish
that wo might rapture him with as
little loss as possible.
The cannonade now Increased; but
the wind, which is usually deadened,
continued to rise, and both the heavy
ships were almost rolling their yard
arms in t he water. Tho ludomp
table's fire was exceedingly steady,
but not well directed, while, after ten
minutes of a close lire, It was seen
that we were fast shooting her spars
out of her. The frigate, much disabled
by the loss of her mast, had fallen off
to leeward, and never got close enough
again to be of any assistance to her
consort.
The Ajnx's people began to clamor
to get alongside, and alongside we got.
As we nenred the lndomptable, oc
casionally yawing to prevent being
raked, his metal began to tell, und we
were much cut up aloft, besides hav
ing been hulled repeatedly; but we
came on steadily. The man at the
wheel had nearly all bis clothes torn
oft him by a splinter, but with the
spirit of a true seaman, he stood at
his post unflinchingly, never letting go
of tin; spokes for one moment. When
we were within a couple of pistol
shots, the Frenchman opened a smart
musketry lire. Sir Peter had left the
bridge fur a moment and was crossing
the deck, when a ball went, through
his hut . knocking it off and tenting It
to pieces. He stooped down, picked it
up, and then called out to a powder
boy who was passing:
"Go to my cabin, und in the upper
drawer of the locker to the left of
my bed place, you will see two cocked
lints; In lug me the newest one.
Hanged If I'll not wear a decent hat,
In spile of the Frenchman!"
And this man was ruled by his wife!
Wo hove to about a cable's length
from the Frenchman, and then the
light began In earnest. We were so
near that every shot told. The French
n. nu made great play with his inula
deck battery, and our sslls and ringing
soon were so cut tip that when we
came foul, a few minutes later, wo
were jammed fast; but nobody on
either ship wished It otherwise. Tho
Frenchman's main-yard swung dl
rectly over our poop, and ('apt. Gull
fonl himself made It fast to our miz
zen rigging. The Frenchman, how
ever, was not yet beaten at the guns,
and the tiring was so heavy on both
sides that a pall of smoke enveloped
both ships. This was to our advan
tage, for the frigate, having got some
sail on the stump of her mlzzeumast.
now approached; but the wind drifted
the smoke so between her and the two
lighting ships, that she could not In
the dim twilight plainly discern friend
from foe, especially as both were
painted black, and we swung together
with the sea and wlud. When tho
smoke drifted off, tho gallant but un
fortunate Xantippe found herself dk
rectly under our hrondslde. We gave
her one round from our main battery,
and sho troubled us no more.
Of my own feelings, I can only sny
that I welcomed the return of my coin
age so rapturously, I felt capable ol
heroic things. Occasionally I recog
nized Sir Peter us he flitted past; hn
seemed everywhere at once, and I
perceived that although Capt. Gull
ford was technically fighting the ship,
Sir Peter was by no means nn idle
spectator. My gun was on tho en
gaged sldo all tho time, and several
of the guns on that sldo became dls- J
abled, and olllcers were wounded or!
killed; it brought Giles Vernon quite
close to me. Through the smoke and
the fast falling darkness, lighted only
by the red flash of tho guns and the
glnro of the bnttlo lanterns, I could
see his face. He never lost his smile,
nnd his ringing voice, always led the
cheering.
Presently the Frenchman's fire
slackened, and then a dull, rumbling
sound was heard in tho depths of the
Indornplable, followed by a roar and
Btreatns of light from the forehntch.
Tho forwnrd magazine hail exploded,
nnd It seemed In tho awful crnsh and
blaze ns If nil the masts und spars
went skyward, with the rugs of the
sails; nnd a solemn hush ami silence
followed tho explosion.
In nnother Instant I heard Sir
Peter's sharp voice shouting:
"Call all hands to board! Boatswain,
cheer the men up with the pipe!"
And then tho clear notes of the boat
swain's pipe floated out Into the dark
ness, nnd with a yell the men gathered
at the bulwarks. On the French ship
they appeared to be dazed by the ex
plosion, nnd we could see only a few
officers running about and trying to
collect the men.
In another Instant I saw Mr. Bux
ton leap upon tho hammock-netting,
and about to spring, when a figure be
hind him seized him by tho coat-tails,
nnd, dragging him backward, he meas
ured hla length on the dock. The fig
ure was Giles Vernon.
"After me," he cried to the first
lieutenant; and the next mombnt he
made his spring, and landed, the first
man ou the Indomptuble's deck.
As soon as the ship was given up,
we hauled up our courses and ran off
a little, rove new braces, and made
ready to capture the frigate, which, al
though badly cut up, showed no dispo
sition to surrender, and stood gallant
ly by her consort. In half an hour we
were reiuly to go Into action again, If
necessury, with another ship of the
line.
We got within range-the sea had
gone down much and giving the
Xantippe our broadside, brought down
the tricolor which the Frenchmen had
nailed to tho stump of the nilzzen
mast. She proved to have on bonrd
near a million sterling, which, with
the lndomptable, wns the richest prize
taken In for years preceding. 1
The admiral nnd captain got 11,-
000 sterling each. The senior officers
received 2,00 sterling each. The
Juniors got .t 2,000 sterling, the mid
shipmen nnd petty officers 1,500
sterling, nnd every seaman got 700
sterling, and the landsmen and boys
100 sterling In pijzo money. And
1 say It with diffidence, we got much
more In glory; for tho two French
ships were not only beaten, but beaten
In the most seamanlike manner. Sir
Peter ever after kept tho anniversary
as his day of glory, putting on tho
same uniform and cocked hat he had
worn, and going to church, It on shore,
wiih Lady Hawkshaw on his arm, and
giving thanks in a loud voice.
