Nassau , but a ootl many timimigs have
aroused time suspicion that it Is now In time

The Itavenadnie was suspected by the United

reply to tue captains expiammntion. it mtext
weimt to I'ort do i'nix , wimere it rernaimmed soy-

1mm coming here was to cable. It is a singular
coincidence that the war ship Gioucester itt'-
riveti here at he samime time as time Ravens-
dale , anchored near It and remained all
imight. . 'War ships ustmaily renmain omtiy iotmg
enough to get dispatcimes and thea leave Ira-

"To wimomu tiiti you deliver your cargo ? ' I
asked Captain hluko.

plied.
"Wlmat were tlmeir nantes ? "
"I vlll not tell you , but timey were British , "
