s (ComUGHX MM J chapter VL—Coxtixued. To the captain’s utter amazement twenty other passengers shouted: “Are, aye. shut oft your steam." Even thensome horrible suspicion of the truth must have flashed upon the ■wretched officer’s mind as ho looked down up n this group. He caught the rai’. t with both hands, then ■wh round and, folding his arms, said to.his companion on the bridge: “Stop heri" As if in anticipation of this, the San • Pedro had slackened speed and was now blowing a white cloud 6f steam. For ten' minutes everybody on the Corinthian watched the vessels approach each other and. when they were !<• i. than, a thousand feet apart, every one'could seethe line of heads along the smaller vessel's taffrail. The Sea Was unusually calm and glassy; and presently a boat manned p by six men put oil from the San Pedro. 5 When the young man who repre- . .1 Bcnted the had rqaehed the deck ®f the Corinthian he Jfound himself ■facing a crowd of men and women In every condition of alarum: and anx'iqty. He was dressed in ajbluO shirt find, common 4 duc.k trouser® and giazedcap; in his belt he carried a (regulation navy revolver. lie saluted the captain politely and, said. in a pleasant voice: •"I am instructed, sir, to ask you to order your people below. Wo will come alongside and remove vour specie. No harm will'be done arid no indignity otTered to ymir cn-w.or.pxssen-ger< " “Damn your impudence. sir!” retorted Cap:. Jamison. ’Tve a great . mind to chuck you into the sea myself., Go back and tell • your buccaneer that a llritish captain sinks with his ship and cargo. He doesn’t hand them over to the first cowardly rascal he meets." "As you please, sir.” the young man replied- ’ It would be a cruel necessity to send this vessel and -its people to the bottom." He turned to go to his .boat after making another salute and one of th® pwnjy: , again interfered. "We object to the (arrangement." he feaid, **an,d are not going to be murdered oh the high seas to save vour •gold.” V . ' Whereupon twenty other passengers ■rrac l with revolvers stepped out and repeated: "Aye. aye. Take the gold, ■ but we want to reach our destination." . The up- '• >t was that the captain and hl* officers were locked in the cabin, the puxM-r,cer* ordeyed below and the San Pedro lashed alongside. It took “ seventy-five men two hours and a half to transfer the gold from one vessel to another, and a sharp lookout was kept" steamships. When the task wu*. accomplished, the engineers were ordered on deck and three of the I’edro’s crew went below and effectually disabled the machinery of the Corinthian; This took another hour. ■The last tiling the pirates saw was the white hair of Capt. Jamison blow- ' Ing in the wind that had sprung up from the northeast- as. he shook his fist at=.them. And the last words they heard were; "I'll hang every dog of you before I die." I, J — I — j CHAPTER Vll No one knew so well as. Hendricks, who sat in the cabin of the San Pedro, that all this was child's play to what was ,to come. He had sixteen hufklred miles to run. He was loaded heavily with. coaf and the gold had * weighted his vessel too seriously to ; think of getting anything like the Speed out of her that he desired. She yvas seb.H'ncr-rigged and there was'a stiff wind blowing from the northeast That was in bis favor. * But he calculated that if one of the westward-bound ocean greyhonnds spokethc Corinthian and .got her story, the news would tyach New York and set the telegraph In operation much too toon for his •afety 'He had informed himself of the p• sitioa of all the government vessels and he knew that there was at last account* a fast cruiser in Mobile bay. He, therefore, calculated as closely as ha cor Id the chances of the Corinthian being intercepted; for. dis-; abletl as she was. it would be her captain’s plan tQ put her in the route of a westward-bound steamship He betrayed his anxiety to the captain. but that personage filled himself with Medford rum and insisted that th® . worst part of the job was done: The first thing that Hendricks did was to throw his gutis overboard together with all his superfluous shot anti ammtdsition. He then got upsteam and stood off in ay southeasterly direction until the Corinthian wa* hull. down, when he shifted his course and went directly west There was another source of anxiety In his crew, but here his matchless cunning and self-reliance stood him well in hand. . He knew what he could ‘ do with them if begot within American waters, and they were equally anxioua with himself to get off the high seas. It blew a stiff gale all the first night and his vessel labored .badly. Finally he took his captain’s advice, which wa* to save hi* coal till he wanted to show his heels to something and take it easy under sail. The consequence was that It was nearly ala days before he struck the Gulf Streaip and he had not seen a puff of black smoke on th® horizon. He had provided hin&elf with four boats and managed to land thirty of his men with a thousand dollars of American gold eagles tn each man's pocket, at San Augustine in the night. They were as anxious as he to part company, and with a thousand dollars every man of them felt as rich as his leader. The moment he had reduced his crew, he clapped on steam, went down the coast and rounded Cap® Fear well to the south. He is known to have landed a few more men somewhere on the coast of southern Georgia, similarly paid off in gold. He then sailed south j and laid off and on for six hours, and . finally met two stoutly built fishing ; pirogues Into which wijh his crew he transferred bls plunder and then sank the Sat. Pedro, taking pains to arrange It that much-of her recognizable ms- j terial would float The specie being carefully concealed in the holds of these fishing vessels and | covered with .sea- grass, they set out north in pleasant Weather, and arrived off the coast at Alabama on or about the 15th. and proceeded leisurely |b the ordinary manner of fishing ; VMNlaat that seaaoa. the mw wtah*

tag a large quantity of fish which they packed In over the cargo. At llayou La louche Hendricks got rid of twenty more men who had directions to separate and rendezvous a month later at a point on the Georgia coast where he had taken on his ammunition, it being understood that he was going to make for Panama with his pirogues and cargo. Instead of doing this, he went straight to New Orleans and hauled both vessels up at Algiers where hi* remaining crew were kept aboard, and for two days disposed of their fish. These men were evidently picked and retained for their reliability and were thoroughly cognizant of the whole scheme. Hendricks managed to arrive in New Orleans as if by rail, and registered at the St. Charles as Archibald Hendricks, of Tennessee. As he was already known by that name at the hotel and was known to be interested in some land improvement scheme, his subsequent operations attracted no suspicion. His captain and all but four of the mon had been sent north in different directions to meet nt the La ran portal and the two badly smelling pirogues that had slipped into Algiers lav among a lot of old craft in an out of the way place, securely guarded j by tlie four men. : The moment Hendricks got to tlie ho- ■ tel. he was able to learn all the facts of the search. The .Corinthian had * been two days and a half at, sea under , sail before she spoke a westward bound : st- afiiship. the Anglo-Saxon, and coin- j municated the hews. It was three day® and a half before the AngloSaxon reached New York and the news i of the robbery preceded her from England by cable just six hours. Twelve hours clapectf after th© reception-of the news before the navies of England and America .were looking for the San | I Pedro. Hendricks, smiled- as he saw how narrow a margin he had sailed on. I Before the search Was well under way. ho had been in tho gulf and the wreckage of the San Pedro, which he was sure -would com© to light was, he thought, a fairly gixxl chance of perplexity and delay on the; one han<i to

the pursuers and a safe location of the plunder, up to the moment of transfer on th® other. The I- trayal of that transfer depended on the twenty-five liibn whom he had still in his service and upon whom he believed be could d< pend. • , • Hendricks>was too shrewd a man not. to see that hi* scheme however cunning Would only hold tor a time. He knew perfectly well that the sailors whom he had got rid of, would proceed impiediately to get drunk and in their recklessness expose the plot up to a certain" point. But he believed their -• rie* under whatever promi— of panion or compulsion of punishment , could get no farther than the statement tb.at the San Pedro had sailed for i Panama or Venezuela. The knowledge of the transfer to the pirogues was locked up in his own immediate confederates. This fact he reasoned j would not prevent the ultimate discov- ' ery of the real truth, but it would delay it sufficiently for him to get safely to hi* subterranean retreat with hi* plunder. Common piracy was not an idea that- anybody would entertain. No steam vessel could keep afloat and coaled up over a week without running across a cruiser. The special conspiracy and the abandonment of the San Pedro were therefore inevitable deductions. The purchase of the us.- of the San Pedro, the, shipment of the men at New Orlean*,*the landing I of the men on the southern <o**t must all sooner or later focus the search at New Orleans. P.iit by that time h® would he out of sight. ■ Two fact* were of special import:' The officer and boat’s crew that liad boarded the Corinthian hiad .been photographed.fay owe of thy passengers on the steamship, but while this fact had been communicated to New York, th® ; j photographs bad been carried to Eng-! land. The othei* fact was that th® passenger* all had the impression that the vessel and crew were Spanish and j had gone Two days had not elapsed before the two pirogues with their masts cut off were taken in tow by a small sidewheeler and pulled up the river. They' were loaded with derricks and heavy ’timber. Hen-irick* had inserted an ■ advertisement in the papers and it was I known he was purchasing material for his improvement* somewhere on the I Mississippi. , ... ‘ ' \ J I On the morning that theHittl® aidewheeler went slowly up the river in plain view of New Orleans, the i nited State* cruiser Dakota picked up ami identified some of the upper works of the San Pedro in the gulf, and a sensational store appeared !h a New York paper which stated that the conspiracy to rob th® EnglisW steamship had been hatched in the United States treasury department, and that th® San Pedro had transferred her cargo in th® bay of Campeachy and the treasure was now- hiding at or near the Bancas di Sisal, off Yucatan. Everything now depende*-’ •_ a the ■ pirogues reaching the Wash bayou before the true clew led to New Orleans, i It was a seven-hundred-mile journey, and the vessels crawled along at a pace of only eight miles an hour. Hen- ■ dricks himself went direct to Memphis by rail, and after several days of intolerab’e anxiety and constant expectation of meeting with the news that the plunder had been tracked to the river, •he had the satisfaction of seeing his cargo from the hotel window slowly and laboriously crawling up the stream undisturbed. He got aboard the steamboat about tea »U*e shove MnapMa and, flodiar

CapV Bllnn aboard, he having been similarly picked up, they congratulated each other. The vessels were run safely into the Wash bayou at flight unobserved, and the whole energy of Hendricks and his confederates was then directed to the transportation .of the specie to the western eud of tho Laran cave. In spite of the urgent need of hast®, this was done deliberately and methodically, and the wild, deserted country favored the task. Mule teams ware provided; the two journeys were made at night under guard, and in ; three days after the landing there were j two million nine hundred thousand j dollars in the Laran cave. Hendricks' plans for the immediate use of some of the money are In part ■ known. Three months before the rob- ; bery of the steamship, he hod, by some ' scheme, managed to borrow six thou- I sand dollars, which he converted into gold and deposited in the First national bank pf Memphis to bo drawn against. He now went to the Second national bank of Louisville, Ky., with the certificate of deposit and expressed a desire to change the specie from one bank to the other as a matter of convenience, It was an ordinary business transaction and created no suspicion. He then instead of drawing the six thousand from Memphis, made a fresh deposit of six thousand In Louisville, i This gave him a bank capital sufficient for ordinary and immediate use in cur- , rency. and tho fact that ho had not ■ withdrawn th© money from on© bank > j to put it in the other either escaped notice at the time Or was not regarded ■ as of any significance. His next move was the formation of , a supposititious syndicate to purchas* the land in Tennessee for a national sanitarium. This project was exploited in the Kentucky papers with great \ cunning. A corporation of medical men had surveyed the’ land and were about to purchase it and erect a magnificent hotel, and they had mad© Mr. I Hendricks a handsome offer for IL While airfhis was maturing the woman whom Laport had met as Miss Frank- - lin was making purchases in New York,S Boston and Philadelphia and shipping

' goods to Memphis and Frankfort Her plan was to make small purchases at widely separated stores, giving gold in payment and getting currency in change. She must' have sent to Hendricks during a month of operation® [ several thousand dollars in bill* ■ CHAPI’ERVIIL ■ During that month he remained at | Laran, as be called the place, superintending the improvements that he had projected. Ik had purchased the land and fenced it with an impregnable : steel fence for several acres around each entrance to the cave. ; During his absence, Laport had gone over the entire place with a subordi* ■ nate who appeared to be familiar with ! every part of it. They had set out with • lanterns, ladders and other appliances ; which were loaded upon a couple of Rocky mountain burros that Laport ! found in the place. ' - Through the alley or corridor that j led from the rugged space at the en- I trance, Laport noticed that the coal measures showed themselves on both side* The passage opened into a vast room almost circular and with a vaulted roof. Its superficial area was at least three acres and Laport eould not i '' • ■ j I ! j fI”I 11 I I /J \ \ "I AM nSTRI'CTED. SIR. TO ABE TOC T® ORnER TOVR PEOPLE BELOW."

A few stalactite* gleamed faintly stars. Nothing else in the cave so impressed him as this magnificent natural rotunda. Indeed the rest of the subterranean passages and openings’ were such a* are seen in all the underground tract* of Kentucky and Tennessee. Vast accumulations of limestone debris; choked and narrow alleyways; bottomless holes; enormous stalactites and mounds of their fragments where they ■ had fallen.

Bit he saw that it could be built on iron benches I against one of the waUs with only two breaks that needed bridging.

The Governmrnt Agree* The counsel for the government asked a few questions of the opposing counsel touching the issue and, after a brief consultation, Mr. Walker said that it was evidently the desire of the defendants to test an issue which had never been passed upon by the su- ' prerne judiciary, and he and his associates could not see any reason to object to the granting of ‘he reasonable request of the counsel of the ants.The defense was willing to take the chances of having the accused spending twice the original sentence in jail for the sake of having both cases decided, by the court of last resort. On thatpoint the court issued an order in compliance with the request STORMS ABROAD. Thr British tales and the Continent Suffer from Fierce Gale* Loxnox, Dec. ’-’5. —Reports of the storm received from all parts of England show that immense damage has been everywhere caused by the recent gales. The loss wilt reach tens of thousands of pounds. Many buildings have been blown down arid telegraph wires have suffered greatly. Traffic has been completely suspended in many places on account of the flood* Many ships have been driven ashore by the wind* Over fifty persons have been reported dead in different places as a result of the storm, while hundreds have} been injured. Eight persons, while attempting to escape from a bark driven ashore at Holy Head, were drowned. A chimney at Sheffield was blown down and it is reported that five persons were kftied and many injured. Three fishing smacks went down Saturday night off Stornaway, on the Scotch coast, and all three crews, numbering twenty-two nien, were drowned., At Teelin a house collapsed and the three occupants were, killed. In Stanolar two per Sons were killed by a falling chimney. Dispatches, from the continent say that northern France and Germany suffered severely from the storm, although the loss of life and property cannot be estimated. At Hamburg many vessels went adrift and collided or grounded. The tide was the highest seen since 1888; The lower parts of Wilhelmshaven on the North sea were flooded and, the dykes would have gone if the garrison had. not worked energetically for hours to strengthen them. Luebeck and Colberg also suffered much damage. At least thirteen persons were killed and sixty injured, many of them fatally, by the wreck of the Manchester express on the London & Northwestern railway, at Chelford, Saturday. The accident in reality was ci used by the recent storm, which has wrought so much damage throug bout England. Paris, Dec. 25. —The storm which has swept northwestern Europe has done great damage in Belgium. The Dendre overflowed its banks at Termonde, and the inhabitants rer® aroused at midnight by ringing tells to flee for their lives. In Ro terdam the water rose 12 feet a'>ove tlie usual high water mark. The sti eets were under 2 or 3 feet of water, and the inhabitants paddled about on raft and in boats. RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION. . \ ■ ———— Less than Two Thousand Mlles of Track fjsld Since Last January. Chicago, Dec. £B.—From advance sheets of an article on railway construction in 1894 to appear in the next number of the Railway Age it appears that notwithstanding the many difficulties railroads had to encounter during the last eleven or twelve months nearly 2.000 miles of new track have be©n laid in the United States during the year now closing, while grading, and preliminary work has been done on a considerable additional . mileage. In thirty-four of the forty-eight states and territories track has gone down on 153 lines to nn aggregate, according to latest returns, of 1,919 miles, and it is possible that a few miles more may be reported in the fin»l statement There are fogrteen states and territories which have made no additions to their railway* These are Vermont, Rhode Island. Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland. Kentucky. Indian country, low®, Xtbraska. North Dakota, Washington, Nevada and Idaho, Oregon barely eagaped omission by adding less than 2 miles, and Massachusetts. New Hampshire. North Carolina and Virginia kept 1b by building from 3 to 7 mil®* each. The number of new roads in 1994 was IM, against 244 in 1993 and 829 in 1892.
