"It Iirn never been In the newspapers , "
remarked Iho retired army ofllcer , referring
to KomolMnf : he had bctn saying as the re
porter of the Washington Star Joined the
group.
"It must have happened a thousand mllca
from a printing press or a poatolflce then , "
ycnturcd the reporter , who has nn Idea that
everything worth knowing Is to bo found In
the newspapers.
"I was Just on the point of telling a
lory , " said the officer , "of a peculiar hap
pening which occurred eomo twenty odd
years ago In Montana. To make It a bit
clearer I may say for Uio benefit of thcoo
not posted on military matters that the coun
try is divided for military purposed Into de
partments and districts , having a major gen
eral , let us say , in command of n depart
ment and some subordinate In command of
tlio district. In the department arc several
districts , and In the district nro several
posts , the pent commanders being of still
lower rank. In this Inntnnce n colonel had
been given tlio district of Montana , and as
was ciwUoraary he had appointed the adju
tant of' Ms regiment , a "West J'olntor , by the
way , as Ills acting assistant adjutant general ,
whoso chief duty It was to promulgate the
orders of his chief , said orders always being
signed ; Colonel Blank , district commander ;
Lieutenant Illauk , acting assistant adjutant
general ; and It was obligatory , of course ,
upon any one In the Jurisdiction of 'Colonel '
Blank to obey these orders without question.
"As time moved on under the new com
mander and hlo A. A. A. 0. , we began to
notice that the adjutant had queer spells
nnd acted strangely , but it was not quite
enough to ciuuo alarm , and we gave It no
great amount of thought until ono day he
left the pest with a detail of men , a four-
mule team hauling their stulf , and driving
along with them a lot of government horses
and mules. The colonel commanding had
left the day before for St. Paul to attend a
court-martial , and the olllccr In command
during his absence had nothing to say be
cause the adjutant nhoweil him the orders
of the district commander to tha effect that
ho take such a detail and the etock and go
on an expedition to the south to deliver
them at another post. That's all any of us
at the post knew , and whatever wo may
have thought of It , It was none of our busi
ness to question orders which were as plain
and regular as apparently were those the
adjutant was acting on.
"Nearly three weeks after the adjutant's
departure the detail of men and their four-
mule team returned to the pent In com
mand of the sergeant , who reported that he
had been ordered by the adjutant to return
to .the post with the men and team and he
would report later. Thl was the extent of
the olllclal report , but some of us concluded
wo would niaico eonie further Inquiry , which
developed tha rather startling fact that the
adjutant had proceeded south for two weeks
ut n very leisurely pace , selling as he went
along to any one whiTwould purchase at any
price ho could get the horses and mules he
had with him In hlu train , and ho kept going
an long as hit stock lasted. As soon , as the
supply was exhausted the detail was ordered
back to the post.
"On this Information the colonel , on his
return a few days later/ / . made an Investi
gation of the adjutant's. books and papers
and of these officers who had furnished
him with , all ho took away with him , and
It was discovered that every man who had
anything In charge that the adjutant wanted
to complete bin expedition could show a
proper order for -the same duly signed by the
assistant adjutant general. Everything was
done regularly , and of course every subor
dinate who had received any orders froiv
the adjutant had hastened to obey until all
ho needed had been turned over to him , am' '
the whole had been duly authenticated. No'r
wes It forgery exactly , for the adjutant was
very nearly acting within his powers as far
as signing his chief's name was concerned ,
anyhow.
"Then the colonel nnd everybody else made
nn effort to find the ndj.utant , who had dis
appeared as completely as If the earth hail
swallowed him. Nothing came of It , how
ever , nnd his army and homo friends had
given ; the case up ; In dcapalr , when one day
at a post In Arizona , nearly two years after
ward , a lieutenant who had Just arrived at
the post met an enlisted man somewhere
about the place who seemed like some ono
ho know. He watched the man for a few
minutes nnd then went after him , He at
once called the soldier by the name of the
adjutant , who had been his classmate at
the academy , and the ndjutant responded ,
but could only very vaguely explain why
ho had disappeared and stranger still why
ho had gone back Into the army aa a pri
vate soldier. Of course the lieutenant at
once had an Investigation set on foot , which
resulted In n private hearing , which fur
ther rallied In the squelching o ; the cnijg
on 1)19 ) ground of mental aberration and the
return of the demented man to his homo.
"At last' accounts , which was two ars
ngo , ho was still living , and though not to
eay crazy , was beyond any question Just ns
decidedly off , so that It la probably Just afl
well thut a verdict of Insanity was returned
and Undo Sam shouldered the loss of the
homes and mules In silence. "
Aliiiut Mlnrrnl Water * .
The 'Washington Star quotes a physician as
follows : "A great majority of the cures
effected by drinking the waters of fashion
able nnd unfashionable medicinal springs In
various parts of the country would have ro-
iniltcd It the same amount of plain , whole
some , everyday water was drunk by the
pcoplu who rush to these springs , nnd whllo
thuro drink from eight to twenty largo
gliuica , of their waters In n day. Whether
there are any medicinal virtues In the
waters , this treatment does tham good , on
account of the extra washing out they glvo
thonuclves , nnd It Is the water Instead of
the constituency of the same that does the
work' . The same people , if at their homes ,
would puss many and many a day without
drinking onu glass of water. It Is , in my
opinion , thii water that cuTcs , nnd It U
water that Is needed. "

Yesterdny morning the body of Andrew An
derson was found floating on the Gothenburg
lake. Tlio deceased was born near Stockholm
helm , Sweden , and was 7S years old , and
rather childish In disposition. This mornIng -
Ing ho got up about 7 o'clock and con
cluded that he would go to the Inko and take
n hath before breakfast. Shortly after this he
was seen by II. C. Jones on the second tier
of piling , used as a break for the water when
It Is high , undressing and making preparations
for a swim. Jones , thinking him a tramp ,
warned him that the water was deep and
cold there , and that If ho wanted to wash
ho ought to go around to the east aide of the
lake , where It was shallow , and went on to
town. About thirty minutes later the chil
dren , In coming to school , found his corpse
floating on the water , and at once spread
the nows. A crowd soon gathered and fished
the body out of the lake , nnd his son , M.
Anderson of this city Identified it an that
of his father , after 100 citizens and his near
est neighbors had failed. Coroner Uancroft
of Lexington was telegraphed for. After
looking over the situation , he concluded that
It was not necessary to hold nn Inquest , and
turned the remains over to the son for burial.
Three scars were found on the deceased , nnd
the conclusion arrived nt was that he slipped
and fell on the piling , and , being an old
man , ho became unconscious and rolled into
the lake , where his body floated until found.
Kuneral services will be held in the Swedish

Btqto nnd a'lalrJqualUy ot tobacco la grown
hpre < IJ. Rorjeiisloeki'of'this city purchased
within the past feW flays about -7,000 pounds
of Nebraska grown tobacco. The' men who
raised It arc C. R. Chase and Wells & Nel-
mau , all of Schuyler. It is true thnt Wells
& Ncimnri cultivate the product more for
pleasure than for profit , but It Is said by
those who are competent to judge that to
bacco can bo raised at a profit In Nebraska
If It is properly cultivated.
Mr. Rosenstock snys that the state of Wis
consin raises about 90,000 cases of tobacco
each year , which is about 300,000 pounds.
Any tobacco which can bo used at all is
worth 5 cents a pound , while the greater
portion of It will easily bring 10 cents. This
state Is ns favorably located as Wisconsin
and Mr. Roseustock says the question is ,
Why cannot that amount of tobacco bo cul
tivated here as well as in the state further
east ?
The cultivation of tobacco , like- the cul
tivation of beets , requires constant attention.
It must bo kept clean nnd worms must be
gunrded ngnlnst. The soil around the plant
must also bo kept loose , and , In fact , the
crop requires constant attention till it is
gathered. Then it must bo cut at the right
time and have a proper place for seasoning.
This requires carefully built sheds for that
purpose.
Mr. Roeenstock says that a farmer with
two or three boya to do the work can care
for about three acres of tobacco. Ho can
not afford to employ high-priced labor to
care for the crop. Any boy old enough to
handle a hoe Is old enough to care for the
growing crop , and the farmer after n llttlo
study , nnd Investigation of the plnnt will
soon learn how to direct operations.
That portion of the tobacco used for wrap
pers Is the most valuable , whllo the binders
are next in value , with fillers last. The bet
ter care the crop receives the more wrappers
will bo gathered , and therein lies the profit.
It is estimated thnt about 1,200 pounds of to
bacco can bo cut from nn acre , which at the
lowoot price will bring $ CO. This result , it
is predicted , would bo Improved each year ,
just as in the raising of sugar beets , ac
cording to the advancement the farmer
makes In the knowledge of bow to cultivate
the plant.
As to climatic conditions , tobacco Is like
n great many other crops , In that It cannot
prosper under a dry season , nor under ono
that Is wet. Its worst enemies are the to
bacco worm , which can bo guarded against
by careful wntehlng , and the hall , which no
ono can control.
Wells & Nclrnan at Schuyler cultivate a
good deal of tobacco every year , but , no
mentioned above , they do so more from nn
Interest In It than from a dcslro to profit
from their work. It is said thnt their plant
Is about as complete aa any on the larger
tobacco farms In Kentucky. They have all
the facilities for the successful operation of
; ho bualticfs nnd employ nearly nil the work
they require In , . &ec.urlng a crop , They find
a rcndy sale ( or , IJiy'r ' product , but their ex

ON BOARD. FRENCH STEAMER GUA-
DIANA , April , 1807. Leaving Marseilles
the passengers of this ship had no Inten
tion of anything more than n tedious voyage
to Athens without pause , but circumstances
furnished us with n mild digression. In the
early morning of the fourth day n ponderous
headland nppenrcd to the north nnd wo
fcnow It to bo the expected glimpse of
Greece. Nevertheless , some hours Inter nn-
other ponderous headline nppcared to the
southward nnd we could not arrange our
geographical nrejudlccs to suit this
plmnomenon until n man excitedly told
everyone that wo had changed our course ,
that wo were not bound for the PIreo , but
for the Bay of Suda In Crete. Ho told us
of mall bags for the licet of the powers and
pointed to the headland nnd called it Crete.
All this Increased our importance vastly.
This headland was rough and gaunt , a
promontory that ono would expect In Ice
land. It wns of n warm color , resembling
rusted Iron. It towered grandly until ono
found In the sky above It some fnlnt
crystnlllne markings which Inter turned Into
n rnngo of exalted snow-draped mountains.
The blue sen glimmered to the foot of the
rusty cape nnd the sun shone full on the
sliver peaks. The English commercial
traveler , who was cock-suro by education ,
decided that with these mountains for their
final stand the Cretans could never bo
conquered.
A scouting torpedo boat ns small as n
gnnt crawling on an enormous decorated
wnll cnmo from the obscurity of the shore.
Apparently It looked us over and was
satisfied , for In a few moments It wna re
turned to the obscurity. Crete sprend high
nnd wide precisely like n painting from
that absurd period when the painters each
tried to reproduce the universe on ono
canvas. It merely lacked the boat with a
triangular sail nnd n ple-fnccd crew occupy
ing the attention In the foreground. It wns
lonely nnd dcsolnte , like n land of despair ,
If it were not for the glory of the hills nbovo
nil. Nothing lived there save the venomous
torpedo boot , which , after nil , had been llttlo
more than a shadow on the water.
The Guadlana turned toward a faint Indi
cation among the hills , a little cleft. The
passengers had become excited and were for
the most part grouped forward , Some Greeks
from the steerage were crooning. Incompre
hensibly , but In a way that we hoped sup
ported war and glory and general uproar for
the sake of one's country. Their small , black ,
and rather shifty eyes shone like buttons.
CALM AS A GRAVEYARD.
But this strange Island presented nothing
to their gaze. It still gaveno hint of house ,
man nor cattle. It was like one of those
half-named countries of the rcmoto north. If
this was. the- Island upon which the atten
tion of Europe was fixed It was certainly
preserving an ulterior tranquillity at any
rate. Surely a little decent excitement could
bo expected. Surely a few men in white
kilts could have turned out and chased a few
men In red fez up and down the hillsides.
Ono wondered where the chanting Greeks in
the bow got their impetus. This great , high ,
sun-burned island was simply as thrilling as
n bit of good pasturage for goats.
Meanwhile the steamer churned through
the shimmering1 sea , and at times from the
cabin arose the thin wall of a baby that had
objected without pause from Marseilles to the
'roll ' and heave' of life fehlpV ' M'
A man with a glass discovered a tan
colored crease on one of the steep hillsides ,
and afterward it could bo seen to bo an
earthwork. Below it the hills had parted
and exhibited a steel-colored waterwny. The
scene was always wide aud fine with Its great
stretches of blue bay nud Iho towering
heights , silent In the sunshine. At last a
genius found that the flag over the rcdoubl
was the Turkish flag , and the passengers
stared at the tiny blood-red banner.
Gradually the hills slid aside , and Im
pressively , like the scenes in n mclodrnmn
before the final tableau , the waterway
widened to an Inner bay. Then finally there
were some fnlnt etchings on the distances.
Thnymight have been like masts , but they
were more llko twigs. And before the steady
plowing advance of the steamer these twigs
grow into the topgcar of war ships , stacks of
tan , of white , of black , and fighting masts
and the blaze of signal flags.
Itwas the fleet of the powers ; the concert
the concert mind you , this most terrible
creature which the world hns known , con
structed out of the nlr , nnd perhaps In a
night. This fleet wns the living arm and the
mailed hand of tha concert. It was a limb
of Europe displayed , actual , animate. The
babe who disliked the motion of the steamer
continued to cry In the cabin.
At first the vessels In the distance were
blendud into a sort ot prickly hedge. It was
very unllko the pictures In the llluslralcd
papers which appear always to have been
sketched from balloons. As the Guadlana
steamed forward , ship after ship became de
tached from the hedge nnd powerful rambows
were drawn In formidable outlines upon the
water. When the Gundlnnn had como into
the middle of the company she paused , nnd
her nnchor chain roared.
Hero they wero. English , Russian , Ger
mans , French , Italians , Turks and Austrlnns ,
all living peacefully In the came cage.
.The attention of the Guadlana wns 1m-
medlntcly divided In twelve ways. The sea
men found the grcnl flag ship of Frnnco.
the Admiral Charner , nnd loved It with their
eyes , while the English commercial traveler
had a short bitter quarrel with n fellow
countryman as to the Identity of a certain
ship whether it was the Barfleur or Iho
Campcrdown.
These great steel animals sat ( n a llttlo
bay , menacing with their terrible glances
a village of three rows of houses and a
dock and vast stretches of hillsides , whereon
there wns not even a tree to shoot nt for
fun. A group of vicious little torpedo boats
also waited Impatiently. To one who did
not care to feel that there was something
In this affair which weighed as much aa a
planet It would bo a joke of a kind. But
It was the conccrl of Europe. Colossi never
smiled.
EXHIBIT OF IRONCLADS.
It was hard to decide which of these na
tional exhibits was the meat interesting.
The French flag ship was imposing in the-
weird and solemn complexion of Us appear
ance. Its deck nnd sides were n wilderness
of dull gray appliances. It looked llko a
factory , thla monster , whereas , the Camper-
down and more particularly the great Re
venge were so well proportioned and trim
lhal ono had lo refer to a memory of their
tonnngo before Ihey became na Imprcesivo
Italy's squadron , to the novice , looked KB
well as any of them. Its two battleships
were largo nnd powerful , and the Etna
wna obviously the best cruiser In the harbor
The Russian flag ship lay near the French
ships , while the Italians wore rather close
to the English. The Knlserlno Augusta was
aloof and alone. On the other hand , the
Austrian hesitated In the middle of the
situation.
Launches nnd gigs Innumerable played
around the Guadlann and officers of all kinds
came up the side. The play of the launches
nnd gigs absorbed the
attention of the pns-
Bcngers. because a strong wind wau blowing
down the harbor and it niado the manage
ment of the small craft enough of a trick.
Tha French made the moat uproar and they
were the authors of whatever bungling wna
done. They were nt the same time by far
the proudrat nnd most conscious. The eyes
of the world were upon them , surely , and
they wanted to do everything with such
heaven-born accuracy that they loet their
minds at times.
Once a launch from the Russian flag shin
lay on the water waiting for Its officer , who
waa on board the Guadlana , to signal to
como for him. Its crew lounged under the
weather bulwark and It swung slowly nnd
peacefully over the llttlo waves. It was
great then to see a French launch come
Hying down the harbor , turn to pass on
the leo of the Russian launch , And finally
bat Into It and scrnpe three yarda of paint
from Us nldc. The llusslan seamen looked
at the Frenchmen , and the Frenchmen
laughed nnd nodded nnd chattered , and ap
parently pointed out the Incident im a hit
of friendly wit. Whereupon the Russians
smiled , faintly smiled.
RXCHAN01NO SMILES.
Indeed , nt any tlmo when a Russian boat
was near n French one the I'Yenchmcn '
nmllcd with bright friendliness. And the
echoing nmlnhlltty of these , men of the C7.ar
waa faint , certainly , merely like a shadow
passing softly across Iho faeo ol a stone
figure , nnd to the onlooker there vas ; some
thing grim nnd strange In It.
Whenever officers came aboard of thn mall
stsatner the passengers crowded about thorn
and to the Frenchmen this was food nnd
wine , apparently. They flourished and ex
panded and waxed taller under this
nourishment. They were sublime. As
for the 'Russians , they didn't eare. The
lieutenant who came for the British
squadron's mall cared somcwh.it , hecntibo
cevtiily-flvo people crowded to hear him
stagger through the French l.inguago , nnd U
bored him. Down In the launch , however ,
them wan a middy who wna n joy. Ho was
tnnllcr lhan n sparrow , hut , my soul , how
bright nnd Napoleonic nnd forcible ho was !
Ho wns ns busy as a hive ot bees , Ho had
no time for poses and genuflection : nnd other
nmuscmcnt. Once indeed he' looKVd up from
his business to the deck of the ship nnd this
Infant had a stern , quick glance , n man'a
cyo It was like hearing a cnnary bird swear
( a watch this tot put n speakingttibo to his
mouth. Ho was so small thnl n life-sized
portrait ot him could ho p.ilnted on a
sovti-elgn , this warrior.
She would be a fool of n mother who M-ould
tru.it him In n pantry whcro there were tarts
and his big sister can box his ears for some
years to come , but ot course there Is no moro
( lory-hearted scoundrel In the flc-et of the
powers limn this babe. Ot course ho would
drop to his knees and pray his admiral n
hundred prayers If 'by this ho could be nl
his station on the Camperdown nnd have her
move Into notion Immediately. Against what ?
Against anything. This Is of the traditions
that ptrforco nro in the breast of the child.
They could not bo cut out of It under1 these
circumstance } . If another child of the
Cnmpcrdown should steal this child's knlfo
ho might go to n corner and perhaps almost
shed tears , hut no hoary ndralntl can dream
ot the wild slaughter nnd hndoj on the
bosom of the sea that agitate this babe's
breast. He Is a little villain. Aud yet may
the god of battle that sits above the smoke
wntch over this lltllo villain , and all brlghl
Illtlo vlllalm llko him.
The etout boats from the war ships made
Ill-navigation for the nallve .craft that for
various purposes thronged about the stfnmer.
Some unconcerned gig's bow was forever
bunting into a Cretan bo.it nnd causing the
wildest panic , but pushing It asldo nnd going
nlu > ad wlfi gorgeous Indifference. The in-
Uvo's nearest approach to redrcci wns n Jab
in the eye with a boat hook. H developed
naturally that these nntlvra had voices like
flfcs and thosu who have never heard n
sacred concert In an Insane asylum cannot
appreciate the objections Uieao men make to
even the distant approach of n boat from n
war ship. . They began to celebrate the
terrors or a collision before there was a
probability of it nnd if by chance there
should happen to be a small crash their
cries wr.ro heartrending. The twirling of
their fingers ns they waved their hands
tragically over their heads al these limes
made n sight not lo bo seen In the west.
This action seemed to stand out In their
minds ns being moro likely to carry them
safely through the crisis than a sudden and
skillful appllcallon of the oar * . But these
oars , after all , looked to the. . westerner to be
ns useful on the wnler ns scythes. However ,
when the natives unfurled Iholr sails and
tacked for the shore they were masters of
their craft. All the boats then stood on
tliejr leo gunwales nnd the water behind Ihem
Dolled. The men were skirls and it was
supposed lo he axiomatic
that none who wear *
skirts could sail n boat.
SCORPIONS OF THE SEA.
All the afternoon the passengers remained
on deck nnd watched Iho fleet grouped on Ihe
brlghl bay. The launches were always
speeding lo and fro nnd from time to time n
gig , wherein the many oarsmen caused It
to resemble a water bug , walked over the
wnter. The officers .on the .Italian crulner
Etna hnd pistol'practice from the stern and
the bnnd of Ihe Uiisslan flagship played an
uncanny melody. Lnle In the nflcrnoon Ihe
English torpedo destroyer Boxer , n long
gray wasp of a crealurc , came In from Ihe
sea. She did not Join the collection of botlle-
green scorpions ou the Suda sldo of the
harbor , but slid slowly over to an anchorage
near the Kevcnge. Then nn Austrian torpedo
boat she was a bottle-green scorpion with
a red and gold flag stuck In Us back moved
listlessly about among the ships. French
sailors from the flagship got a barge and
their launch towed It down to the Gundlana
after some freight which had been brought
to them from Marseilles. The bringing of
this barge alongside the Guadlana ' caused
scone. ? of the wildest disorder. The language
used wns material for Ihrce riots in Dublin.
All the same it was vastly exciting. These
men were in earnest about it. They were
going lo bring Ihal barge alongside the
steamer , nnd one may bo forgiven If one's
temper gains an advantage ; during the stress
of unusual excitement. Twlco the peevish
god of circumstances balked them and they
were obliged to circle widely down the wind
and return for other trys. At last n line
was flung aboard and a sailor sprinted nnd
caught It JiiHt as it was slipping over-side.
Then the blue sailor bonnets with their red
pom-poms jostled most surprisingly. There
is ono thing n Frenchman can make a
fesllval even of pulling on a rope. These
tars had a perfectly delicious Umo nl It.
Perhaps the presence of an audience had
something to do with the matter. Finally ,
when Iho barge was lined alongside , Ihe
French officer came aboard Iho slcamer , his
face beaming with a smile of victory.
In the meantime , against the darkening
hills , strings of signal Ilaga would suddenly
burn out In splendid flashes aim often the
lllllo voicco of bugles called over Ihe waler.
Smoke was drifting from the enormous
funnels of some of the battleships.
Down the bay n fat tub of a Ihlng ap
peared , pulling llko an old woman and
making troubfu enough on Iho waler for u
Cunarder moving sideways. It took an In-
flnllo tlmo for her to come up , but when al
last she steamed laboriously past everybody
went to the rail nnd grinned. It was the
Turkish dispatch boat arrived from her '
anchorage opposite the forl. She had como
three miles. .11 wns wonderful. How one
could como three miles puzzled the nhlcst
mariners. She was flimsy enough to have
an effect llko a pane of glass ; ono fell that
ono could BCD Ihroiigh her. There Is nothing
In the Untied States revenue marine to com
pare with her. Them was a collection of red
flags on the brldgo und over her trailed
the red banner ,
THE TUIHC WAS THERE.
The decks of the Ouadlana had been glad
all day with the blue and gilt of the naval
olflccrs and now Into our experience and Into
this assemblage behold the Turka ! 'Around
the ship lay the power of Christian Europe
and now hero was the other thing , hero wns
the Turk. Hero was the creature that had
pulled Europe's nose , boxed Its cars , kicked
It down Blairs and told it to go to the devil ,
all the tlmo asking It to bo quiet and patient ,
that the crcaturo was really governed by the
most amiable impulses and all would ho right
In time , making U finally furious enough
for deadly assault and then ending by har-
nosslng it and driving It off gaily. .Surely
the art of procrastination should ho taught

and then convince him that you flro only feed

was fit for war , this fellow. The collar of
his uniform was heavily flowered with RolJ

Ho wore glasses and about his oj-fs was the
calm , studious expression Hint one * expects In
profcssois at colleges. Uneonsolously to us
perhaps , many of us have fashioned our lde
of the Turk on this hand-doR photograph tif
tlio sultan , which has been reproduced every ,
where. I'rohahly this Turk was no nearer the
controlling type , but then It was Rood 16
llnd him whcro one expected at least to find
doinethlnR fat and greasy.
Tn the array of Rdilus that liad boarded Ilia
ship there was oven a lltlln Franch officer
of cavalry In ix plum colored coat and blue
trousers , nil heavily braided In black. Ho was
rather acrobatic In hhi manner and It seems
that It was particularly necessary that ho
should do n Rrvat. ilcal of flying about In tha
ensuing festivities. Then there were sonio
consular oinccrs and they also flew , lint ! n
the midst of all this palaver the Turk had the
calmness of sense , tlio unconcern of n man
who did not find It necessary to feel Intimi
dated by the adjacent Intellects. Once , when1
ho was free , his glance remained reflectively
for a tltno on these battleships , arrayed

The Guadlann at last hnvo anchor and de
parted from Suda bay and behind her tlio
llect again blended gradually Into a hedpe.
