j AN ISLAND
| STOREHOUSE
By M. QUAD
ICopyright, 19H. by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.]
Two thousand miles due north of the
Island off Mauritius aud almost be
tweon that and the Seychelles group Is
the lone Island of Agulcgas. It is an
island aliout sis miles in circumfer
ence, with its highest point about 100
ici't above the sea. There \\cre no In
habitants u|i to 1SSL', though traders
and shell gatherers often called there
lot wood and water
It was in the year 1SS1 that the cap
tain of a trading schooner en I end the
port of St l.uuis in the Mauritius to
tell a wonderful story about this Island
of Agalegas. tie had called there for
v..ml and water and to make repairs,
and whl'e his crew was at work he ex
plored the Island Amid the rocks he
; disiovered a great cave, nnd from that
cave he had taken nnd brought away
two ele| hauls' tusks, a l>ox of silver
bars am! a jew<«l handled sword lie
was n cunning chap, this trader, and
lie had got the stutl aboard without
liis crew being the wiser and had said
nothing about the cave, lie did not
report his flud-to any consul or other
oliiiial it St. Louis, but after hanging
about for awhile he decided to make a
, l onlid int of the firm of Dayne «& Co
This was a I'reuch trading and export
ing tirni. and as I was hi its employ 1
! ... i. . .. ,s.. ii^.t h...,d
Tiio pltindet r.:;r'-:is had brought
awny was worth sio.'WK), but tie as
sured us that this v. iis a mere Ilea bite
compared to wli.it had I icon left be
lib 1 lie bail counted 'J.V) tusks. which
did not iueludo all lie had counted
i ISO l>oxcs of silver bars, worth over
$l.(ioii per but, but there were others
j behind them. There were bales, boxes
and barrels he had not at tempted to
! open, and he believed the contents of
the cave would pan out jil.iNKi.iH.iO and
ballast a trading brig. It was a very
dignified and respectable firm, that of
Dayne & Co., but It cut down off Its
high horse pretty fast to make a bar
galD with Rareas to brlnu that treas
lire away and dodge customs officials
and government authorities. What they
offered to do after a consultation was
to fit out a ship, bring ilie stuff off
! convert It into cash and give him a
quarter. It wasn't a liberal offer on
their part, but Rarcas closed at once.
I and the enterprise was turned over to
me to engineer
The Criu had n trading brig called
the Foam, and as soon as che arrived
in port she was cleared of cargo and
her crew discharged. I then began to
pick up Madagascar sailors and soon
had ten of them, with au English A. R
who had cut and run from a merchant
man. Ha rcas was to act as captain,
and I was to go along as supercargo. It
was e::sy enough to deceive the Mada
•_r:i n-ites. while ti e sailor was satisfied
with an offer of double wages and S~"(H'
extra. We left Manrltiusauith the os
I tciiS'Me object of visiting the islands
in the ei.sl l.i est.ilili. li trading stations
but when we had made good out oiling
ue UeaJed tot tin- north and the island
■>f 4 :al.,; s We v, -vo on out way to
li'l . .i craft with p'nader rro-ii n
:■ ' "se fi'led hundreds of years be
f ir.' ::I worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars, but the voyage was prosaic
None of lis wore excited over it until
t the last day. ami then It was through
fear that the cave might have been
discovered b.v some other caller.
We ran Into a bay and dropped nn
eh»r at 10 o'clock In the foretmui. and
in-fore midday Rarcas bad visited the
treasure house and reported all safe.
Our first move was to establish a
I camp on the highest spot of the island
and divide our forces. I took charge
of the laud party and Rarcas of the
brig My party removed the plunder
from the cave and carried It halfway
down to the beach, aad his men car
| ricd it aboard and stowed it away. Od
a certain evening when we knocked
off work I figured the value of the
cems already taken out at $1,500,000.
and there was yet a week's work to re
move the rest The day bad been hot
uid stilling and the work harder than
usual The cook was half an hour late
mi rubbing ills eyes open, and he had
nardly reached his feet when his shout
i of surprise alarmed the rest of us. At
Mime hour during the night and so
piletl.v that not a man of us had been
disturbed the waters had retreated In
every direction from the shores of the
•sland until there was only the bed of
he sea to look at. Here and there a
leep hole created a little lake, but one
^ t'-v" waji.-ed for six or eight
miles without wottihpTi'ifiTeefT As the
waters retired our crnft had gone too.
1 bad lived In the east too long to
not know what wns coming. We were
as high as we could get and could only
wait for the peril. It came as the sun
rose. We heard a booming, roaring
and crashing and next minute enught
sight of a tidal wave sweeping in
That wave was seventy feet high, and
as it rolled across the Island from the
north to south its foamy crest was
only thirty feet below where we stood.
There were three waves, each moving
i at a speed of 100 miles an hour, and
then the sea settled down to Its usual
level and soon grew quiet A thousand
acres of forest had been swept away
and the whole face of the island
changed in a moment Our spring and
our camp bad been left untouched, but
there was no longer a cavern, no long
er n bale of goods, no longer a brig
laden with a king's ransom An earth
quake at sea. a mighty convulsion of
nature f>00 miles away, had robbed us
of brig, crew and treasure and left us
on an almost desolate rock In mid
ocean to wait for the passing craft tl?<M

Running the
Blockade
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
Port Itoyul, South Carolina, is a fine I
harbor. in that region are many is
lands lying between the mainland and
the ocean on which is produced what j
is called sea island cotton, an article of
Very superior grade. When the war be
j tween the states opened and the south
j ein ports were blockaded this was a
favorite point for running the blockade
with cargoes of this valuable cotton.
Where it was grown it was worthless;
beyond the Vnnkee blockading squad
ron it was often worth more than a
dollar a pound.
The United States government sent I
a naval ami military force to Tort Rov
al to occupy the harbor, and adjoining
tlie islands, some fifteen or twenty I
mile* from the mouth of the harbor, is I
the town of Beaufort, and one day
durin;: the early part of the war h
steamer lay at the wharf taking on cot
t"ii man on the deck was watching
a gang of negroes rolling the bales
aboard, A long, thin man with lean
J cheeks and a tuft of beard on his chin
| and wearing a butternut suit came
sauntering along and stood looking at
the loading.
"Are yo" the cap'n o' this hyer ship?" j
he said to the man on deck.
"i am."
"I'm lookiif fur transposition. I
want to git out o' this dod rotted,
Vnnkee ridden country. I've sold out
my little plantation and put the money
| into cotton. I got twenty bales."
i "Don't you know that the Lincoln
government won t let any cotton leave
the Confederacy V"
I "Toil don't say so.''1
j ^ es I !l ta!;e your cotton for you,
I but there's a big chance of its being
j captured a Vanlree gunboat lying
off the month of dip harbor If so It
Will be roillisented."
"Waal. now. I rei-kon that's inter- j
ferla' with a man's naleral lights.'
j "Itiii if you git it through, if it's
I !.ea Island n :ton. you'll mike a small !
fortino out of it"
"Well?"
"If yo' want to laKe the risk I'll
carry it for you for 20 per cent of what
.vo' sell it for."
"To' goin' to carry over this what
yo' takin' abor'dy"
"I'm poln' to try."
I m afeard I mouglit lose mv cot !
ton."
j "In that case yo' bette' not risk it"
I .vo' »iy yo' goin' to risk it Willi
yo' cotton."
"I am."
"N hat yo' paintin' yo' ship that colo'
fo ?"
"That's the color of a fog. I shall
not go to sen till I can git a mistv I
night. That gray paint is eractly the !
shade of a misty mo'n'ng Just befo' I
day."
A bargain was struck between the
two, (he captain agreeing to take the
lean man and his cotton to England
for 20 per cent of Its value In Liver- I
pool provided the blockade could be i
run safely. The twenty bales were !
taken to the wharf and rolled aboard I
The owner remained ashore till a fog- I
sy night should enable the ship to get
to sea, there being five chances of
success to one of capture.
Finally an east wind brought in
murky weather, and the captain told
his passenger that there was a pros
feet of I,,.i- uettii g out p"-'v (he nest
morning. Tlie latter -:«rd w!!h
his baggage. :i hair trunk. ;i bandbox
and n leather ease evidently contain
ing a musical instrument But the
captain, who was busy superintending
getting the ship off. had no time to
inspect the passenger's baggage.
Steaming down on to the broadei
vaters the ship cast anchor between
two Confederate forts on either shore
to wait for an opportunity. There were
considerable wind and rain during the
night, but nothing to conceal a ship
About 7 o'clock In the morning the
wind lulled and a dense fog setticJ
down. The captain concluded to try to
slip out betweeii the gunboats outside
the harbor. Just before the fog shut
everything from view he took his bear
iugs from his compass and. with speed
only sufficient for steerage way, aided
by an outgoing tide, drifted to the bar
bor's mouth.
On passing out a dim hulk appeared
on lils port quarter. He knew that it
was a blockader, but he had the ad
vantage of his ship's being the color of
the mist, and he passed safely, naif
an hour passed, and he was congratn
lating himself on having cleared the
blockading ships, when from below
there arose the resonant sound of a bu
gle. Dashing down the companion
way, lie followed the sound, which led
him to his passenger's stateroom. The
man was practicing on a cornet. The
captain with a blow sent it scurrying
on the floor.
"You Idiot!" he exclaimed. "What
do you nicanV"
"What do yo' mean yo'self? 1 al
ways practice at this time o'tho morn
cotton?"
Through a porthole they heard "Ship
■ahoy!" then "Heave to!" and the
captain knew It was all over. The.v
were in possession of a Yankee gun
boat
The lean man was a Connecticut
Yankee, and Ids prize money for his
services amounted to $10^.000. rTo had
obtained a commission l'rom Washing
ton to prevent blneknd • riutnine and
had been funilsliw with means that
enabled him to car\v out his purpose
