Steered a course south of that usually taken by ships bound for the Mediterranean In order to take as lit tle as possible There are few vessels to be met with on that part of the ateri and we did not speak a ship till we were In longitude 32 degrees minutes west latitude degrees 20 minutes north and then we spoke a vessel we came upon because she had been abandoned She was a Bmall steamer of about tons Our captain after satisfying himself that be coald get no reply to signals sent me aboard of her with a dozen men to examine her ana report I found her In good order but the only living thing aboard was a dog He was dying of hunger but I considered that be could not have been left there very long or be would doubtless have died for I could not any Indications that foodbad been left for I went below to have a look at the cargo and found the bold full of rifles The machinery seemed to be in good working order and there was a trace of lire left In the furnace The only thing wanting was the lifeboats I saw no reason why she should not be taken Into port as a prise I signaled the captain telling what I bad found he came aboard to have a look at the ship and cargo himself We concluded the vessel bad sighted a man of war and that the crew expecting capture had concluded to get away themselves There several by which they might have escaped In a fog or by bearding a faster vessel than the pursuer The absence of the ships boats tended to conOrin this theory The captain concluded to try to get tho vessel into port prize If could be taken to Europe her cargo would be very valuable but of course there was danger of capture by war vessels for there was no doubt that a cargo of rifles was contraband of war Anyway the captain directed me to aboard with the men I bad with me Including en engineer that ho would send me and ordered me to try to get the ship to either a Spanish or a- Portuguese port If I could get far enough north to reach the western coast of France better still but be ad vised mo not to try for France unless was chased and saw a chance to es cape in that direction Since there was fuel for power and food for a prize crew there was noth ing to be sent me except the engineer Soon after arrival tho fires were relighted and steam having been gen erated parted with tho I took a mors northern course and next morning was out of sight I found that our prize her was the Pelican was a faster ship than might have been expected from her size could do fifteen knots an hour There were flags Of all nations aboard which was not surprising con sidering that carrying a con traband cargo Indeed there was every indication that she bad been taking big risks One unexpected discovery was made there had teen a woman aboard Wo found in a stateroom wo supposed to have been Intended for the captain a lot of feminine paraphernalia Think ing that In this room I might And something that would throw light on the ease I made a careful search I found nothing except a crumpled bit of writing paper on which had been written In a womans hand locked In my room I am frightfully worried about you must happened- I will try to set to you but I dont know how HELEN There was Just enough In thla to be Who was father And who was Helen She had evidently not been able to send her message and bad crumpled It and thrown It Into one of the drawers I would have proceeded at to look for the time I discovered this I was called on by watch who had sighted a line of smoke on the star board quarter I kept on the same course till the steamer came near enough for me to see with a that was a cruiser though she display no flag then I pot the ship due which would piece the cruiser tern She was evidently coming up for she increased rapidly in six pot on all ateami but the crwtoer her that If she would open the door I would explain certain matters td her of which she might be Igno rant She replied that she could not open door for she not the key whereupon I decided that if she could not open it I would Look out I cried- Im going to break down the doorl drawing put my heel it aod it flew open Inside was a girl about nineteen years old She was dressed but bad got Into a berth to avoid the opening door Grouching back was evidently un certain whether we were friends coming to do her harm She was very pate and weak and I saw at once that she was starving Before questioning her I sent for food of which I gave sparingly Then I carried her up to the stateroom where bad found womens clothing She told me that this had been room and she had been taken from It by several members of the crew to the one In which had found her As soon as the girl was able to talk fully expecting that the mystery of the Pelican was about to be solted I ask ed for- her story I was doomed to dis appointment She knew very little more than I did father was had been master of the Pelican He had sailed from a small port In the States Ho had told his daughter fore sailing that she might go on a trip with him more On morning when she bad tried to her stateroom she found dooi locked The same evening she had been taken to the roorn In which I found her and confined there A supper had been given her and the next morning a breakfast That was ail she knew She was- much surprised to learn that ship bad been desert ed and greatly feared for her fathers safety for she was sure that If free to act ho would not have let her to perish I cross questioned Miss Bradford- Helen Bradford was her to get some clew that would enable me at least to form a theory which would solve tho mystery I got nothing She did not even know that the cargo con of rifles was aware that a great war being fought and her father had told her that the ship was liable to bo overhauled by a cruiser and searched but whatever happened would be In no danger only Incident mentioned bearing on the case was that the porthole In her state room had been darkened at Our voyage proved an exciting one chased as we were on several occasions by cruisers Wo showed a neu tral flag and at the same time a clean pair of heels The worst of it was that wo driven off our course several times and thus kept wandering about In tho Atlantic ocean On ono occasion being chased by a gunboat wo would have been taken were It not for the fact that could do about a knot more than she I whatever could spare In trying to comfort Helen Bradford and slnco pity Is akin to love I may boon in lore without knowing if I certainly- on my mind to keep from anything sentimental I found out afterward the nature of my feelings for girl I had been in strumental In rescuing During a spelt of bad weather wo lost our reckoning and one still morn ing enveloped In a fog we ashore on the coast of Morocco had various visitors among them an Italian trader to whom I confided the secret of my cargo Ho proved wealthy enough to buy It and paid ma In gold I went asboro with and crew and the night a made kindling wood of the Pelican I married Mies Bradford and we returned to America I myself a court of admiralty and divided price for tbe cargo as I considered yust my wife getting tbe principal pert We have net as yet heard from father nod
