IE FINISH OF A SAJL0B8 STOBT.
I the morning of the sixth day after
jrival of the man-of-war Mr. Wil
j was buried on the island. There
another break in the weather, and
as a fair day. About 100 people
I ashore, and of this number about
fere armed to be in readiness for
'move the mutineers might make.
hat the death of the poor old man
a sad blow to wife and daughter,
XI. J that they had the full sympathy of
every one aboard, you cannot doubt. In
tzy own mind I had planned that when
we reached port I would ask him for
fjl:j, and perhaps remain ashore to
fcr'lholdof the new life with him.
f ; IT, T that he was dead it was not likely
: C'J the survivors would want to remain
f la Oat f aroff land, and of course mar
ls rice could' not be thought of for months
i' to come.
I The men dug a -grave on the east
I 1L3 of the island, and, with the chap-
fc'iof the man-of-war conducting the
tcirices and all the officers ashore, we
tr led the poor old man whose love and
tzJcitude for his daughter had given
Mm a grave begirt by the sea. I spoke
nob words of comfort and solace to the
Widowed and fatherless as came to me,
and in the presence of her mother Mary
pot her hand on my arm and said :
. : "Ralph, it was known to father and
mother that we loved each other. That
we have you to comfort us and depend
00 in this hour relieves the anxiety if it
does not soften the blow. Our future
will be guided entirely by you."
' Directly after dinner Captain Mo
Oomber began to land a force of men on
the beach, and Captain Clark and I both
went ashore to offer our servioee. While
, the courts in England had cleared both
Mary and I of the charge which had
sent Ben Johnson into penal servitude,
: both of us felt that our characters had
been stained. The only thing to clear
5 as was a voluntary oonfesteion from Ben
4 Johnson. I stated my idea of this mat-
' ter to Captain McComber, and after a
little reflection he replied :
is . "Yes, that is what I wish you could
' get, but I am not hopeful. From the de-
fiant attitude of the mutineers I am
j, ready to believe that they will suffer us
j to shoot them down before they surren-
der. Johnson is likely to bs the very
1 first one to fall.' I shall send out a flag
of truce and give them one hour in
which to surrender. If they do not come
in, we shall proceed to hunt them down.
A sergeant of marines, accompanied
by six men, was at once dispatched to
the camn of the mutineers. I did not
go along, but I can tell youvhat hap
pened. Of sailors, guards and convicts
at the outset there had been about 80
men. Of this number 43 were left The
marines found these men drawn up in
line in front of their tents. Most of
them were convicts, and, having lived
like wild beasts for so many days, a
more villainous looking lot of men one
never beheld. Not a gesture was, made
nor a shout uttered. They waited in si
lence until the sergeant had advanced
I within a few yards and delivered his
message. Then Ben Johnson stepped
$ out and said :
"Go back to your Captain MoComber
and tell him that not a man of us will
give in. To be captured and taken into
port and tried means the hangman's
noose for every one 01 us. we win aie
f rieht herel Begin your man hunt as
' soon as you willl We have no firearms,
but the fun will not be all on your
i side!"
When the sergeant returned and re-
" norted. the captain separated his men
' into three detachments. Each detach
"k ment carried a supply of handcuffs, and
the orders were to take the mutineers
J alive if possible. Captain Clark and I
, volunteered with the first company or
f detachment We might have been ex
cused, but as the convicts had escaped
from us we felt legally and morally
bound to aid as far as we could in their
capture.
Stretched out through the woods, but
till in touch wfcth each other, the three
... ' . X. XI
detainments movea to w uunu,
About two-thirds of the distance to
camp the detachment on the extreme
left was suddenly attacked as they
forced their way through the thickets
by the whole body of mutineers, who
were armed with stout clubs, and many
had lashed their sheath knives to long
poles to use as lances. As they attacked
the marines and sailors the mutineers
cried: "No quarter! No quarter!"
They fought to kill, nor would one of
them surrender when called upon. The
fight did not last over five minutes, but
in that time three marines were beaten
or stabbed to death, two others badly
hurt and four convicts were killed.
When the mutineers retreated, they car
ried off four muskets and the ammuni
tion belonging to them and tookrefugo
in a broken but thickly wooded piece of
ground beyond their camp.
Seeing that he had underestimated
their strength and desperation, Captain
McComber sent aboard for a mountain
howitzer and a supply of shells, and as
we advanced again the bursting missiles
were thrown into the coverts ahead.
Twioe during the afternoon we tried to
onen communication with the fellows
by means of a flag of truce, hoping they
had had enough of fighting and would
surrender, but each time the flag was
jadvanced they fired on the bearer. At
sundown, when we returned aboard our
respective vessels, we had lost four men
killed and three wounded, and we had
killed eight of the. mutineers, all con
victs. The last four had keen killed by
shells from the howitzer.
Nearly all the provisions taken from
,the Hindu when we set the men ashore
four weeks previously ha. been wasted
or consumed Before retiring to the
beach we destroyed what was left and
burned the camps, and as there was no j
longer any wild fruit on the trees the
fellows would have to fight us next day
on empty stomachs. Captain McComber
had decided to land a larger force of
men and more guns and give the muti
neers no further show. By having men
enough to stretch across the island the
defenders must at last be driven to the
open beach on the north shore.
When the bark was brought around
to the east side of the island, she was
anchored about a mile from the beach.
The sailors who had assisted us and
three of the marines were then with
drawn, while Haskell, the second mate
and myself stood guard at night in ro
tation with the marines. On this night,
after our battle ashore, we went on duty
at midnight I took the poop deck, the
mate the waist, and Haskell the bows.
Little or no danger was apprehended
now. The wind that night was from
the west, thas giving us the lee of the
island and smooth water.
I was greatly fatigued after the day's
excitement, and at 1 o'clock in the
morning I committed what was little
short of a crime. I Bat down and fell
asleep. I did not realize that I had even
closed my eyes, but I had slept for half
an hour, when Mary Williams, wno
knew that I was on duty, dressed her
self and came out to have a word with
me about her mother. She saw me
asleep, with my chin on my breast, and,
just climbing over the rail by means of
a rope which had been left by Haskell
as he was putting on a bit of paint that
day, was Ben Johnson. It was a star
light night, and she identified him at
first glance. He had swum off to us to
strike a blow for revenge before the
fight of the morrow, whioh he could
well reason would be the extermination
of the gang. Between his teeth he held
his knife. Across my knees was a rifle.
Had Mary delayed to call out for help,
the villain would have been upon us
both.' Without an instant's delay and
realizing the situation in a flash, she
sprang forward, seized the rifle and fired
upon the man as his bare feet touched
the deck, only eight feet irom wnere 1
sat The report of the gun and his yell
of pain and rage were blended together,
and in a minute the whole snip was
alarmed.
Johnson had been shot in the breast
We went off for the surgeon, and when
he had made an examination he plainly
told the ruffian that he had but a few
hours to live. The man had not uttered
a word after being shot, but the looks
he had given Mary and I proved the
feeling of murder in bis heart. At first
I had some hopes that hejpight make a
confession, but when he looked at me
With eyes gleaming like those of a
wounded tiger's I realized that it was
useless to address him. And yet all I
had hoped for came about, after all.
The desperate man died by inches.
As the hand of death clutched at his
throat the little good in him came to
the surfaoe. An hour before he breathed
his last he sent for Captain Clark and
Mary. He begged the girl's forgiveness
for all that had passed, and then made
a dying statement which completely
exonerated us both. . It was taken down
in writing and duly witnessed, and,
though he wanted nothing to do with
me, and even spoke bitterly of me to
the last, I felt that I could forgive him.
After making the confession he gave it
as his opinion that the mutineers would
surrender after learning of his death.
but his hope was that they would die ,
fighting.
When morning came the body of Ben
Johnson was taken ashore for
burial
There was but scant ceremony in laying
him away to rest, and, when he had been
covered in, a white flag was sent forward
and the mutineers informed of his death
and commanded to surrender. They
She identified him at first glance.
answered with shouts of defiance. The
events of that day caused much talk in
England and Australia when put into
print. Captain McComber gave orders
to exterminate the gang to the last
man. All day long we marched back
and forth across the island, and all day
long two pieces of artillery were busy
shelling the mutineers out of the densest
thickets. Half an hour before sundown
the last man of the gang was driven to
the open beach. He had been wounded,
but he carried a club in his hand and
was still defiant When he refused to
surrender, we would have fired upon
him, but he walked down to a ledge of
rocks, made his way out to the break
ing surf, and with a shout of contempt
for us he plunged in, to be seen no more.
If wave and tide brought his body to
the sands later on, we were not there to
find it They had said they would die
to the last man, and they had kept their
word.
Need I tell you that the Hindu, with
the help of the men loaned us by the
generous Captain McComber, finally
reached her port of destination? There
was a legal investigation, of course, but
we came out of it all right, and "the
government was held to its contract
While we were detained in Australia
for this investigation Mrs. -Williams
passed away, leaving Mary an orphan
among strangers. That Bhe did not suf
fer for companionship and care you will
readily believe. When the Hindu was
ready to sail for home, she was one of
the 80 passengers, and despite her be
reavement there were many pleasant
features about the voyage.

Miss Hettie Dickey, the young lady
from Delaware who recenty visited Chi
cago In men's clothing, has told the com
plete story of her adventures. It ap
pears that for years she has had an
overwhelming desire to be a man. The
Impulse to see the world as a man sees
It grew upon her to such an extent that
she Anally decided to leave home. She
secreted a suit of her brother's clothes
In the woodshed, and soon after noon
on March 24 she slipped quietly into
the shed and put on masculine attire.
Then she walked calmly out of the yard
in front of her home to the road lead
ing to Klamensl station on the Baltl
more & Ohio railroad. It was then
about 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
She followed the tracks three miles
without meeting anyone. Then twe
men came In sight, and, for fear of de
tection, she turned aside into a field
and made her wav to Newark, where
she took the 3 o'clock train for Baltl
more. By this time her parents were
searching the country for her In the im
mediate vicinity of their home. Keach
Ing Baltimore, she stopped for an hour.
Then she bought a ticket to Chicago,
and left on the 7 o'clock train over the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. 'All the
money she had on leaving home was
120. She reached Chicago on the night
of March 26 with $3.48 in the pocket of
her trousers. Her original Intention
was to go to Denver or San Francisco,
In both of those places she has relatives.
After her arrival in the Windy City
she was at a loss to know where to lay
her head. She was afraid to go to a
lndclnp'-hniia in sha nnnplnded to walk
! fhe streets rather than run the risk of
beins detected. For two nights she
tramped the sideWalks of Chicago be
fore finding a place of shelter. At last
she found a big lumber yard near the
lake, and there she spent five nights
among the piles of lumber. What little
food she ate during this time she pur
chased at cheap restaurants. In all of
these she seated herself at tables along
side men. For three nights she occupied
a corner in a box car standing on a side
track of the Illinois Central railroad.
One of the employes discovered her and
demanded an explanation of her pres
ence. She maintained her fortitude and
succeeded in escaping arrest. She went
on in this way for two weeks until, over
come by exhaustion, she fell 111, and
was removed to the Cook County Hos
pital. The incessant tramping and the
clumsiness of her brother's shoes caused
severe injuries to her feet. Upon re
moval of the shoes at the hospital flesh
came off with them. A diagnosis of her
case was made by the physicians in
charge. While making an examination
of her lungs he discovered her sex. She
told him her name was Hettie Dicker-
son, but subsequently admitted that it
was Hettie Dickey, and that tier home
was in Stanton, Del. After listening to
her narrative the doctor notified her
parents. On April 24, one month from
the time of her disappearance, she wrote
to her mother, describing her sufferings
and asked forgiveness. She reached
home a week ago, and, with the excep
tion of a slight feebleness, she was none
the worse for the experience,

Thcaoaalvea KMIraloo.
Considerable controversy still con
tinues to be waged with reference to
the titles of the army 'doctors, says the
London Navy and Military Record.
In Its zeal for the cause which it has so
much at heart, the British Medical
Journal has dropped into a funny
error. Deploring "the sad incongrui
ties," our contemporary refers to two
supposed army surgeons, belonging to
the Royal Sussex regiment, who died
in Egypt, who are, it Is stated, men
tioned on a monument at Brighton
merely as "Drs. So-and-So." their
names being placed between the Lance
corporals and privates. As our con
temporary, The Globe, points out:
Every soldier will, of course, see at
once that, as a contemporary points
out, the "Drs." are not "doctors," but
drummers. It is In this way that the
friends of those army surgeons who
glory only in the military half of their
double-barreled titles, make their cause
ridiculous, for they quite seem to forget
that it is the other half of those titles
by which they won their commissions
and earn their pay. It is stated that
there was a certain very military brig
ade screrenn lieutenant-colonel in
t r l - 1 A A nnaaA
a note as to "Dr. So-and-So." The note
came back unopened, ana superin
scribid "No such person in M .'
But the subaltern was equal to the oc
casion, and sent it back supcrinscribed,
To await arrival." It was the same
medical officer to whom a captains
wffe wrote a friendly note. "Dear Dr.
So-and-So: - Baby has a big boll,
Please come round and bring your
lancet" - To this came a reply that
the note should have been addressed
Brigade Surgeon Lleut.-Col. So-and
So." and the lady wrote back: "Dear

NEW GUNS FOR THE GERMANS
The Army Camp Ha Some tntereitlog
Experiment.
The new German caiuv al Malmedy
close to the Belgian frontier, has at
tracted special attention owing to the
experiments lately carried on there,
says Revue du Cercle Militaire. .The
object of the experiments was to try
the effect on field fortifications of the
new guns with which the German "foot
artillery" has lately been equipped.
The guns in question are six-inch
howitzer guns and eight and one-quar-
ter-fnch mortars. It is intended to
utilize some of these guns in the at
tack and defense of positions, in which
respect they would play a considerable
role, seeing that the defense nowa
days disposes of better means of resist
ance than formerly. The obstacles in
front of the line of defense will be in
creased, natural points of vantage will,
to a greater extent, be utilized and im
proved upon by means of portable ar
mor, screens built up with heavy rail
way rails, etc., shelters will be pro
vided, against which ordinary field ar
tillery will be powerless, but they will
not resist the heavy projectiles thrown
with a very high trajectory from these
guns. The object of the trials in ques
tion was to determine the best mode of
use of these guns, more especially the
mortars, against fortifications of an
analogous nature to the so-called forts
d'arret protectingia great part of the
French frontier. At the same time
experiments were also made with a
view to determining the efficiency of
infantry fire by day and night.

NTERESTINQ ITEMS FROM THE
.WOMEN OF TIHS WIDE
AWAKE TOWN.
Fromth 8'entlnal, Cbtrokaa, Kaniaa.
Mrs. A. J. A u m mens has resided in the
vicinity of Cherokee. Kansas, lor a
number of years and is much esteemed
by a wide circle of mends wno will re
joice to learn that after many years of
suffering she ha finally been restored to
btalth. Wishing to learn the particu
lars of Mrs. Auemeus' wonderful cure, a
reporter called at her residence and asked
for an interview. Mrs. Ausmeus laiseq
freely of her caae and made no objections
to stating tne fact for publication, one
said:
'I bave been sorely afflicted with
stomach trouble for upward of fifteen
years. The suffering I endured during
that time is Doyond description. I was
taken with a doll pain in the back which
never left me. I had to be very careful
in my diet as my stomach would stand
only certain kinds oflood. ror niteen
years I could not eat fruit of any kind.
I was treated by a nnmoer 01 tne Deet
physicians in the county without receiv
ing any permanent nenoni. lasc lau
while looking over an Illinois newspaper
my attention was attracted to an ac
count of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was
so impressed with the statement of a
cure these pills bad effected that I made
up my mind to give them atrial. Iac
mrriinslv Durchased a box and began
their use and they helped me from the
nrst, nnen i naa rasen luree uuira my
health was fully restored and there has
been do return of the disease or any of
its symptoms. I
"The pain in my back nas leit me en
tirely and bow I can sat fruit or any
thins- else I desire. I ftel better than
bare for fifteen years. I caa cheerfully
recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lor
thev accomplished what a number ol
Dbvficians failed to do."
Mrs. J. F. Morrison, wife of Mr. Fred
Morrison, the ice dealer, of Cherokee,
Kansas, when Questioned by a reporter
as to the cause of her restoration of
health, said:
"For more tban three years X was a
sufferer from stomach trouble. I had
no annetite for anything and became so
weak and emaciated that 1 could not at
tend to my household duties. I was
treated bv the ablest nhTsicians in Cher
okee, but received little or no benefit. ' A
neighbor seeing that the doctors bad
failed to do me any good, advised me to
trv Pink Pills. You know that when
vou are sick all of your friends know of
some sure cure remedy which they in
gist udod vou taking. 1 had little faith
in any medicine but I finally .consented
to give the pills a trial. So I sent to
Rover & Graves' drue store and got a
box of the Pink Pills and began to take
tbem. 1 took two boxes without feeling
much improvement and was about to
discontinue their use when Fred ar-
sued me to take another box. I did so
and before ball ol tne tnira dox was
token I felt so much better that I be
came greatly encouraged and kept on
takinir the Dills according to directions,
When I got the fourth box of Pink Pills
my health was completely restored, and
I feel better today and weigh more than
I have for a number of years. I keep a
box of Pink Fills in the bouse and would
not be without them. The trouble with
uiont DeoDle who use Pink Pills without
receiving any benefit is because tbey do
not eive them a fair test, but abandon
them because tbey do not give imme
diate relief.
Mrs. Mary Jones, wife of Wm. Jones,
the blacksmith, a resident of Cherokee,
Kansas, for twenty years was a sufferer
from a severe pain in the bead and
nervous prostration. She noticed an
advertisement of Pink Pills inthe Chero
kee Sentinel and concluded to give them
a trial. The result was that one box of
Pink Pills restored her to complete
health. Mrs. Jones is enthusiastic in
her nraise of Pink Pills,
Mrs. Meda Walker, of Cherokee, Kan
sub. has nrobably suffered more from
neuralgia tban any other woman of her
aire in the state. In an interview with a
reporter she said:
"Ever since I can remember I have
been a ereat sufferer from neuralgia.
About threeyears ago the disease seemed
to grow worse. The pain in my head be
come almost unbearable. 1 bad some
decayed teeth extracted thinking that
perhaps tbey bad aggravated the mal
ady but no relief resulted. I was treated
by the best physicians, among tbem a
faith cure doctor, but none of them
could do anything for me except give
temporary relief.
"About a year ago I saw an advertise
ment of Pink Pills in the Cherokee Senti-
el and thinking they might help me I
sent for a box. As soon as I began tak
in? them I commenced to improve, and
when I bad used two boxes all symp
toms of neuralgia had left me. That
was about ten months ago and I have
not felt a toucn ol tne malady since.
My cure was certainly due to Pink Pills
alone, and I regard them as a blessing
to mankind.
