wJ - ,-W.iV - i r i : : Blind Luck on Saint Paul By A. E. DINGLE (Copyright, by Itldgwajr Co ) HERE aro many better known spots on this globo than Mnho, Seychelles iBlaudB, but very fow that can offer such a variety of adventures and adventurers as ono will meet with nt that Ilttlo port In tho Indian Ocean. The I'aclllc developed Its Hully Hayes, tho Australian bush shel tered tho notorious Captain Star light, and Tasmania in the seventies was tho theater for tho exploits of Coventry Striken Light, but It Is doubtful If elthur of thoso wor thies at their beBt, or worst, had anything on the bright particular star of tho Indian Ocean, Red Saunders. To havo known Saunders was n liberal educa tion, and when a turn of Dame Fortune's wheel pitched mo out on tho beach nt Malic and Into his company, tho flcklo old lady unwittingly did mo n servlco not to bo too highly esteemed. Thcro Is only ono pluco in tho Ilttlo town that a sailor Is likely to bring up In Francois' "Ma hogany liar;" and like everybody else I had hung around that rum ranch until money wns as enrco as frog's feathers. I was trying to flguro out my next move when Red Saunders hovo In sight. Tho barkeep, I supposo on tho samo principle that leads n sawbones to give a poor devil n doso of dopo preparatory to abbreviating his longltudo by a leg, set a bottlo of liquid tin tacks up for me, with tho kind intimation to "havo ono on tho houso and clear to blazes out of hero," and my outlook seemed about ns bright as the soul of a Chinaman, when a red-topped giant, six feet six by about four feet beam, rolled in through the door and strodo up to tho bar. "Jlarkeep, where In Tophet aro all tho hugger muggers today?" ho growled In a volco llko Muuna-Loa In eruption. "Suds" briefly Indicated my now unprofitable carcass and shrugged his shoulders, remarking that business wns bad, or even I should havo been on my wny before now. Solltudo will breed strange comradeship any where, and hnvlng nothing else to nnll his at tention, Saunders took a good look over me nnd shoved tho "tacks" my way again, saying ns ho lot go tho bottlo: "You don't seem dazzling with diamonds, matey, but mnybo you can shoot tho guff, so tako another pearler's peg nnd eep mo company for a spell." We took our vitriol over to a tablo and stretch ed legs, giving nnd receiving tho nows of tho beach, while I was debating In my mind whether It would bo worth whllo for mo to broach to this copper-nobbed stranger tho schomo that hnd kopt me awake nights for months. Though gossip nnd rumor had mndo Saunders familiar to everybody on tho beach, tho man had never crossed my bows until ten minutes before, and what or who he wbb Ilttlo Willlo could not havo guessed. Pre rlouB to his entry there hnd been nothing on my horizon, and he certainly was a sociable sort of brute; so putting all my trade In one bottom, I opened out and laid my dream out for Red to pass on. Said I: "You look llko n 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 clenned out, busted to blazes, and can't oven subscrlbo to tho tucker bill. I'm all In, but this yarn's straight stuff; If you'ro looking for a flut ter, hero's a chanco. What d'yo say?" I was keenly awaro of a cold steely drive through and through from a gimlet eyo beforo that mighty voice rumbled forth: "Show your goods, perish your pelt! That guff Is too easy to pass if you'vo got no rocks at bot tom. I've got a Ilttlo schooner out In the bay right now; sho's ready for any trip from nigger stealing to pearl-poaching, and can bo handled by two sailor-men; but give us the yarn and give It straight, or by tho peak of perdition I'll haze you for trying to throw the bull at Red Saunders! Here, Francois, give that bottle a fair wind, and leave It hero." "Back In 1875," I began, "the clipper ship Strathmore, outward bound for Otago, New Zea land, piled up on the Crozets, and when she went up had fifty odd peoplo aboard, all colonists, and all carrying their entire worldly capital In the ship's strong box. The amount of cash aboard, Including a sum for payment of government sal aries, wns somewhero around twenty thousand pounds sterling, or one hundred thousand If you want it In dollars. "The people were taken off after more than six months of misery, but the stuff 1b still there, and 1 think can be got by a diver. The spot Is well laid down and 1 can take you there. How's It strike you, cap'n?" Red took hip second-mate's nip at a gulp and gripped me my the arm, growling like a "south erly buster": "See here, young fellow-my-lad, I've got streak of Intelligence In mo todny. and It BeemB to me that you aro sailing straight. Anyway, I llko tho cut of your phiz, and as I've got nothing better on hand, I'm going to tako you up on that Strathmoro Job, and we'll got our hook this Barao ruddy p. m. I'll stand the iBtorcs nnd put my boat In it; you'll take us there and we'll go nlone, sharo and share, fifty and fifty; and you'd bet ter bo Biiro you'ro Balling straight, for I'm an ugly blighter when I find I'm being blistered!" That Bottled the hash bo far as I was con cerned; I hart no dunnage to stow, and Red sim ply yanked me out of tho bar and down to the beach, whore his boat wns lying, telling mo to row out to a little black schooner In tho road stead nnd cn8t off tho stops, whllo ho went up to tho town to get a barrel of beef and eomo small stores. Tho Ilttlo vessel I boarded was certainly a beauty regular yacht In lines and deck fittings. When well under way and heading for tho east coast of Madagascar, wo arranged to keep watch and watch, and each to call tho other If tho schooner got out of hand, but after Red Bhowed mo how tho Ilttlo hooker would lay her courso with tho wheol In a beckot I had no qualms as to tho necessity for more hands, nnd decided that I would not bo tho first ono' to "call tho watch." Wo took our supper on tho cabin skylight to gether nnd I broached the subjec of diving, hav ing In mind, tho fact that what wo woro going for waB under wntor. My big mato spilt his dial with a hugo grin at my query nnd roared: "Say, sonny, what In d'you think 1 nm? Don't tho Ilttlo ship nnd tho air-pump and llxln's tell ye anything? May nH well tell you right now, I s'pose I'm a penrl-poacher, that's what; run out of tho Straits by a blasted Urltlsh gunboat that copped my Kanaka crew nnd nearly bottled me. "Yes, boy, not ono of yer hold-yor-noso, rock-at-yor-feet, two-mlnuto diver boys, but n reg'lar tlii-Ii lcnd-shoes, rubber-suited, Btay-for-ovor shark; and If that box of boodlo Is still whero jou figure on, bet your last thirst wo'll get It, nnd get It nil, by Sntan!" The nfternoon of tho eighteenth day out from Mnho wo raised tho rocky peaks of Hast Island, four thousand feet high, nnd ns It was nover cer tnln that a landing could bo mndo, wo stood on till dusk and hovo to for tho night, getting every thing ready for a full day's hard graft on the morrow. Hut It wns not tho next day that wo took up our berth, nor for two more after that. Dirty weather, commoner down in that God-forsaken penguin hatchery thnn suckers on Hroadvwiy, set In with a bump, mid for thrco duys our Ilttlo Pearl had to light tooth and nail to hold her po sition within hall of the Islands. On the fourth day the breezo blew out nnd left just a good working air, so wo hauled up and stood in for tho rocks again, this time getting closo enough to lot go our warp and tako tho lines ashore. Dy tho official report of tho wreck, wo wore pretty sure that wo were right on tho spot, and this was established when, after sounding all round tho schooner, tho lead fouled something, nnd brought away n pleco of sea-rotted ropo from a depth of twelve fathoms. On tho principle that a Job well started Is half way dono, wo Boon had tho diving gear laid out, and at dead low wntor I manned tho wheel of tho air-pump, after screwing up my mnto'B helmet, and our quest was on when Red clambered over tho low rail and slipped Into tho cold depths'. At tho end of an hour tho signal came to haul up, nnd when Saunders bobbed over tho rail and had his head-gear removed, ho reported that wo were almost plumb over tho poop of tho wreck, nnd by ranging nhead twenty foot could drop n line down her cabin skylight. Wo shifted our position nnd went below to got a bite of tucker ngalnst tho next spoil, whllo my matd voiced his opinion that: "Wo would have been better fixed had wo toted somo explosive along, for tho ruddy ship Is steel, nnd quite likely had a strong room un der tho cnbln." Wo expected, however, to Btrlko somo snags, ns there aro mostly nlwayB plenty of spikes to a hundred-thousnnd-dollnr bouquet. After our brief spell for grub, Saunders got over tho Bldo again and took crowbars along, intending, as ho said, "To bust something or cat tho bars." Next tlmo ho camo to the Burfaco"" ho brought up a rusty chronometer, tho mahogany caso vt which was quite good, and snld ho had located tho safo, which was build Into tho steel bulk head of the skipper's cabin. "What do you think of tho chnncos of hook ing anything, Red?" I asked, when he had crawled out of his casing. . "Tell you tomorrow, son," ho grunted. "Seems a tougher lay than cracking open pearl-shell, but if tho weather gives us n good fair tilt at It, there's a chanco of busting her with tho bar, I think." As soon as It was light enough to gropo, an other start was made on the wreck, and we knew that It would bo a caso of pulling up the chest or giving up the chase at the end of that day's work. Red took along everything we had that was likely to bo useful below, and remarked as he put his hoad Into his hat: "What don't como adrift this spell will have to wait for dynamite or Gabriel's big bassoon, for I won't come up till the bars bend double!" What titanic efforts he must have put forth down below wero well proven by the bundle ot crowbars he sent up on a lino, bent to horseshoe shape; nnd attached to the lino was the handle of a safe. He did not come up for some time yet, however, and Triton only knows what he actually succeeded in doing, but when at long last he signaled and was hauled up, he had a small tin box mado fast to his waist. No sooner was he free of the head-gear and able to speak, than he blurted out: "Good Gordon's bcor, bo', she's too much for me! 'Every blaBted trick did I work on that Iron locker, but I might ns well dig Into the great pyramid with a cream-puff for all the Impres sion I could make with those bars!" If the safe had been as easy to break as the box was, we would have had those spondulicks aboard by now, for ono. crack with the end of a bar concertlna-ed our And, which contained the ship's papers and sundry private documents, evi dently tho captain's. No good could come of hanging round any longer, after we decided the Job was too big for our limited moans to tackle, so we lost not a mo ment In getting our lines and hauling off to the anchor. Then, before hoisting our canvas, we took tho casks ashore for1 water, filling them at tho same place as thoso poor devils must have used years beforo, and taking a look at the site of their camp, whero they had mado a dugout In tbo cllffsldo'for tho lady and child of the party. Wo might havo spent moro time looking around this plnco had the weather looked pret tier, but Saunders had his eyo to windward, and suddenly ho Jerked me by the arm and growled: "Say, young fellow, wo don't want to duplicate the Robinson Chiboo act this trip not for senti ment any wny; nnd that's Just about what wo'll do If wo don't get our hook and edgo off this spot of dirt In n number ono hurry, or I'm no Mother Shlpton." Pointing to tho westward, Red asked me If I had over seen tho "Roaring Forties" on a tear; and-suro enough It looked llko good-night for us If we failed to ratch off Bhoro beforo tho storm hit down on us. That galo followed us for a week, nnd wo did dodgo Korguelen hut not by moro than tho woll worn hairbreadth, and Red and I wero pretty well tuckered out for wnnt of both sleep and grub by tho tlmo tho sun shono again. In our way north wo talked over tho failure of tho venturo nnd .discussed tho possibility of re turning Inter with a blasting outfit, but woro agreed. that for tho present we should have to let tho Job wnlt. Snundors, however, broached tho subject of the old Iron steam-frigate Megit'ra, wrecked on Saint Paul, and after much chin music had passed on tho subject we decided that while wo woro In tho business we might Just ns well store up again In Mnlui and make the trip as a long shot, there being Jtint an iiiit-ddu chanco that we might laud something that would partly Binooth oxer our failure nt the Ctozots. With this now objective wo hustled the little Ulaek Penrl all we knew, carrying whole-still In a two-reef breeze, scooping up most of tho Indian Ocean over the hows, and living In water day nnd night, decks, cabin and caboose, with devil n dry rng or Btlck fore and aft, until wo raised the laud closo aboard through tho hnzo, with Mnho harbor dead to leeward Every hour spent nshoro now wns working on n dead horse, ho Just as soon as Urn grub was stowed aboard, toward sundown, sail was piled on the lllnck Peart again anil her nose pointed seaward for one more crack out of tho box. For fourteen days the little hooker snorted through tho seas, and our reckoning showed us to bo within n hundred miles of our Island, when down enmo n westerly howler, with torrents of rain for good measure, and off wo scooted cWiso leefed, dend befoio It, and nn tho night was as black as tho back door of Hades, wo hoped there was nothing nearer than Australia. Our figures must have been out some miles, for around midnight the schooner fetched up with n Jolt llko the kick of n hundred-ton gun. and then dived over the bar and broke In two, spilling us out to tight thtough a swirl of broken water and splintered timbers to n rocky shore Now hero wn" u holy mess If ever two men woro in one. Saint Paul might ho all right to visit If one weie sure of making a getaway, hut for n permnnent residence, not by n darned sight! The wreck wo came to find did not show up for Bomo long time, and wo began to give up hope of finding any trace of her, but, having nothing olso to do, wo kept up a search when In tho humor. About six weeks after we blew In there, when 1 camo down from tho signal-staff wo hnd erected, Red camo to meet mo, looking ns if ho hnd Just lost his mother-in-law. Asked if ho had sighted a sail that had escaped me, he grunted: "Nothing quite so good ns that, sonny; but como along, perhaps you can put a name on It, or tell something about It. It looks like tho thing wo enmo for, and wo may as well give her n rummngo. If wo find anything, It won't ent any thing, nnd wo may make n getaway from hero after a while," Following him round tho point of rocks on which wo hnd split up, wedged firmly In a crevice nnd burled In tho sand, could bo seen tho tim bers of tho stern of what had been an Iron ship "Thero, Inddle, what d'yo make of that? I've been scratching sand away for days when you'vo been up on tho hill, and this morning 1 went In side tho Jiull. Thero's n wholo lot of stuff lying on her floor, chcBts, bnrrels, old junk of sorts, nnd maybo somo of It will pay us for n search." When my mato camo out between the ribs, lugging n Bmall, heavy, wooden chest, a bras' plato was still attached to tho lid, and tho let ters, when we had polished them up n bit with goat's fat, Buroly read H. M. S. Megrorn. From what I remembered reading of her, nil tho valuables had been saved, as sho had been at anchor several weeks off tho Island beforo sho went up; but evidence was before us that somo part had been overlooked, and n sharp rock In Red's powerful fist speedily uncovered tho con tents of tho box. It was spcclo nil right, and good gold Urltlsh sovereigns nt that; two thousand by tho actual count. Not a fortuno by nny mentis, but enough If wo ever got away with It to pay Snundors for tho loss of his schooner, and give us both another start. Wo did not leavo that old Iron steam frigate without ferreting every crook and cranny cap ablo of holding a dollar bill endways, but not another yellow boy wns uncovered, nnd wo lug xged our find up to our camp to decldo what wo would do with It. Wo woro both of opinion that wo would havo to leavo tho bulk of it behind if we wero taken off, and return and get it with our own vessel, so wo fixed up goat-skin belts for each to carry ono hundred of tho Ilttlo fel lows, and sowed the rest up In skins and cached tho lot well above high-water mark. Our reasons for leaving the stuff were good for us, as If we were picked up and taken Into a port with a bunch of gold coin In sacks, all tho persuasion In the world would not prevent some of tho crow of whatever picked us up babbling out tho truth, and then we would havo to unto up to tho authorities. So our minds woro mado up and we were ready to leavo when, on tho seventieth day of our "CruBolng." a bark hove to off tho Island nnd sent a boat ashoro to Investigate our signal. Tho transfer of our kit did not tnko long, you may bet; and that evening wo wero aboard the French bnrk Vendomo, bound for tho Mauritius, and being feted and palavered over as If wo woro tho original prodigal sons como homo to Poppa. Tho Vendomo mado a good passago north, we wero soon counting tho days now to elapso bo fore wo could mako a fresh Btart for Saint Paul, and when she dropped her mud-hook In Port Louis, wo bundled overside Into tho first shore boat alongside after tho port doctor nnd harbor master had left, shouting nu rovoir to our crat whllo Bhlpmates, and Inviting thorn all to meet us In tho town later. Tho pleasuro of returning their hospitality, however, could not be allowed to stop tho busi ness on hand. Quickly casting about for a craft to carry us back to Saint Paul, luck favored us In tho shapo of a Mozambique dhow which was held for debt and could bo bought outright for eighty pounds. Wo mode the best of our wny down to Snlnt " Paul, nrrivlng off our old camp In flftoen days from Port Louts. No time was wasted horo after finding thnt our hoard had not vanished, nnd shipping tho coin nnd putting abonrd ono or two trifles wo had left behind, such ns air-pump, diving Bult, and so on, wo loft tho samo ovonlng and pointed our head north again, this tlmo on tho last leg of tho cruise. After n passago of twenty-four days from Snlnt Paul ond something ovor bIx months from our depnrturo on tho Crozots trip, our old wagon poked her nose Into Mnho harbor nnd tho nn chor wns lot go for what I hoped would ho tho last tlmo In tho Seychelles for mo anyway. When tho old dhow wns sold, for Junk price, wo found our total haul footed up to two thou' sand and thirty pounds. So, after a aplurgo In tho town, lnstlng a woek and spont mostly In tho rotgut foundry, I parked my grip and took passago for Durban, declining Sounders' Invitation to Btny with him and join him on ono of his frecbootlng cruises to Zanzibar. noted rai n Famous Estate in Ireland Is Re habilitated by U.
