their tall masts and sails Con federate rendered hipping goods on them ao that they all disappeared their trade passing to English and afterward largely to Ger man ship The trade then losfha never been recovered Some say It Is because other governments their others that seamen may be hired cheaper In foreign countries than in America One thing la certain the American merchant marine since the war between bo states has been little or nothing Whether the great Euro pean war will give any of it back to us remains to be seen It was in the fifties that Horace Graham sixteen years old ran away from borne and shipped on one of the farnoas Blackball lino sail ships the 8cott Those were days was a romance of the sea when vessels were propelled by sails when they rode the lightly and there was no of ma chinery in their vitals That Is why youngsters were continually- running away from home to go to sea Horace Graham made trips to and from China on the same vessel as ordinary seaman for three years he was made third mate Ode day on a return voyage a derelict was sighted The captain atood on the aft er deck examining her rising and fall- big with the waves and when be bad made up bis mind that there was no living thing to be seen aboard of her he ordered Graham to man a boat pull to the ship make an examination and if there seemed to be no reason to the contrary to sink her When eight stalwart sailors were In the boat which was provided with sufficient gunpowder to blow op the vessel sev eral augera and some food In case persons starving were found she was lowered and pulled to the wreck On approaching her- Graham who was at the tiller had a full view of her stern on which her name had been and from which some of the letters had been or worn off Ordering his men to rest on their oars be took out pencil and paper and made a record of the letters remain ing giving the proper spaces for those that bad been erased as follows ON transferred the letters to pa per the officer order to give way and the boat moved forward passing close under the ships It was then that Graham noticed a closer view that an attempt had been made to eliminate the remaining letters but the bad failed had evidently tried to scrape them off with a sharp instrument but probably had not sufficient time to completo the work j On reaching the ship a rope with an Iron hook was thrown up caught op the gunwale and Graham climbed It leaving bis men la tbo boat A terri ble scene greeted him had been a fight on the decks and In the cabins Corpses of men with their weapons hi then hands lay here and there and all except one wore the clothes of sail ors of civilised countries The one ex ception was a man hi Asiatic costume It was plain that the ship had been boarded and captured by pirates That they had left In a hurry wits also evi dent An auger had been left In side of the ship below the water Indicating that an attempt to sink vessel bad been interrupted Then too all the lifeboats except ono had been left in their places There were blocks for eight boats all blocks being filled save one set and at this point the davits were swinging out In dicating that a boat had been lowered were two cabins astern one evidently the captains In the other Womens clothing was found In that belonging to the captain from a little drawer in a locker Graham took out a daguerreotype photographs were not at that common of a girl eighteen or twenty years old There was something very attractive in young and Innocent face among such frightful surroundings put the picture In pocket not only for the purpose of Identifying the ship but because he wished It for himself Before sinking the derelict Graham returned to the Scott and re ported to the captain Another boat was sent to the derelict to make fur ther examination but bad taken care to possess themselves of the log and everything else by wbJch the Vessel might be Identified Though they hud evidently left her In a hurry had taken time for ouch removal Nothing remained but to make a note of the latitude and longltuda in the derelict was discovered at that time a favorite for pirates That night before turning In Horace Graham took out bis daguerreotype opened the case and feasted bis eyes on the likeness within It bad been nearly a year he had seen a woman of his own race and those of were not attractive to him It teemed to him that this girl was the of Innocence from the bor- remains of It and to to fill in the erased Fortunately- the pirates bad either neglected this fea ture the Illegible and had not taken pie time or be trouble to eradicate It- Horace Graham worked till late on tilling hi the letters now and again looking up the Likeness OR ON Troth the position of the letters pre served be knew he possessed the first and last letters and Ships were there and are now named for- women and Graham fancied this was a cose In point By trying different letters successively hi the first part of the he finally obtained He felt quite confident that the name of the ship was the Margaret Though he puzsled long over the last name be failed to make It out The next morning as be was mount ing companion way- to the deck he heard he lookout shout- Lifeboat on starboard quarter Reaching the deck be saw the cap tain raising his glass Graham down for his own glasa and Boon de scried a ships bout rising and falling with the waves but could see nothing in It Meanwhile the ship had been put off her course to point to the boat When the Scott a womuns figure whs seen lying In the bottom of the boat and a man evi dently dead was over a seat A boa the Scott was manned took the other hi tow When the ship the woman who was either dead or unconscious waa Hoisted on to the vessel Almost as us Graham saw the face of the woman recognized In It though much changed by suffering and hunger the of da guerreotype Aspoouful of broth was given her and she revived After tak ing more she Opened her eyes and look ed wildly about But seeing that she was on the deck of A vessel the wild look subsided uud she asked what bad happened After being told she was questioned everything except the horror of drifting the oceans bosom bad passed away from her Here was a disappointment to Gra ham for as soon as he recognized her as the original of the daguerreotype be believed he would receive an ex planation of the mystery of the Mar garet Tbo likeness shown her but It failed to excite any mem ory whatever Other means were tried Including mention of the Margaret but without avail At last all attempts to draw from her Informa tion to what bad happened were given up Unfortunately at that pe riod It was not a universal custom to ft Lots of Good Fowl pay top price Dont dsiau In selling them while my prfoe Is

wit a Yankee accent rescued girl received every at tention and very soon was able go on deck She tried everything that was suggested to bring about a return of memory but without avail There was no other woman aboard so that she had no companion of her own sex Graham was so devoted to that gradually all others gave way to bint The Scott was homeward abound and as soon she came Into port be was deputed by the captain to shipping records with a view to gain ing any Information about derelict e Armed solely with the record bo bad taken from the wrecks he ran over names of American ships till ho came to the of which there were several The Thurston record This Was a great gain lie learned that ship had been named for a favor of tho master and that she was aboard tbe vessel In Chinese wa ters at the time she was discovered by Scott She had not been beard from since Hongkong was overdue The rescued girl was known to bo Margaret Thurston spinster nine teen years of ago and an orphan Graham hud fallen In love with her and her only her uncle with whom she hud Hailed was sup posed to have been murdered Grqltiim Interested himself In securing for her some property to which heir These attentions on tbe part of the young sailor won her heart and be had no In persuading her marry him Several years after this marriage Mrs Grahams memory returned to her Utile by Utile she recalled the tragedy of which she was The Margaret Thurston was chased by a Malay pirate which on Its vic tim rapidly Striking a fog the tons captain believing that his vessel would be captured nit his In one of the ships boats with two men and set her adrift This was us far as Mar garet Grabam nerved her The rest was merely a surmise It supposed that when the ok lifted tho Thurston fell a prey the pi rates
