I'laln Jack llar\ly, manager of the
"Scram UleU Lobster" team:
In your challenge of July 2?>ih you
made use of such terms as "being sick."

wish it to be di?t ioctly understood that
trying to keep our Monkey Wrench"
players, aint no picoic: and, further,
that it is inpossible for us to hare < old
feet as we belong to the step ei s>
C\>wd, and still further if you are

been sick before the game started. We

WHY NOT?
Movement on Foot to Enter
tain Engineers
A movement it on foot among the
business men of the city to do some
thing to impress upon the mtnds of the
mining engineers who artcoming north
the possibilities of Skagway M is a
mining center of the future. The-c
tuen, members of the Amtricsn Insti
tute of Mining Kngineer*. to the num
ber of 80 have made arrangements to
come north on the next trip of the
l*rinceas May. due at Skagwav 10.
It has been suggested that they be
met with carriages and taken to the
different prospects In the vicinity of
this place, and that the advantages of
Skagwayasthe site for mills for the
reductian of ores of the inferior be
pointed out to them. The development
of mining properties on Taku Arm,
Windy Arm and in the vicinity of
Whitehorse make Skagway a strategic
point as a prospective center of great
quartz act: vit ies even should the proper
ties in the immediate vicinity of the
town and those of Iiainy Hallow not to
I<e developed until later.
Whitehoise and Dawson will enter
tain the mining engineers and doubt*
less Juneau and other towns will do so
also

(Original 1 C
We wore lying at anchor In (ho Ittr- ?
K?r of Rio (lc Janeiro. Tito night waa J
lot, hut beautiful. To tho north w. to (
the lights of tho city. Above wn* tho ?
?panglod dome, while nontliMNl bint- J
Ml tho constellation of tho Southern ^
fro**.
Wo were to sail tho next morning for
Now York, and It w?? known among (
us that wo woro to carry i*v of j
(lid coin to Now York. No one ah.mld I
b*vo know n of this treasure except tho
r4H?vr*. Tho mvn>t came otit In this
way: Tito mon wanted to go ashore for ?
a dual eproe. Tho captain, who wn? a I
weak man. In order to excuse himself
for n?vt nonpitting them to go told of
tho treasure. But the weakest thing
ho did w.i* to let thorn go after tolling
tliem tho reason why thoy should slay.
Thf captain, thv first mate and I i-m-c- {
ond mate) remained altoard. The cap ,
tain waa smoking on tho |>oop lltvk . tho
first mate was pacing tin- forward I
dock: 1 wits leaning over t!i< gunwale J
?midships looking down Into (111- ? ;t j
tor. Slipping off my clothe*.. 1 ?: ??<?? n.l <
od hj tin- ladder hanging I'te j
gangway and plunged in f.?r a awim j
Tlio water was refreshing, and .-is tho j
moon was rising there was plenty of j
light. Tho consequence ?a< that 1
I warn as far front the shl|? #s 1 likiil j
I was some i-MO yards astern wl.n 1 i i
heard the sound ot o.-.r* an. I, raising Jj
my bead, saw a dark object coming i
from tho city. I did not douht that It j
was tho boat containing tho crow com (
lug from their spree I was surprised. ;
bow<-vor, that thoy wore so quiet. Van j
ally on such occasion* they were very ! j
noisy.
I started to swim to the ship. Imt
they reached It before nto. I hoard '
the mate sing out "Boat ah >y !" but
did not hear the answer. Tlie lioat'a
crew clituM the ladder aud went
aboard. I heard a scuffle, and a mo ]
mont later a heavy object dropped In i
the water. Tlio tide was going out. |
but 1 kept ahead of It In the direction J
of the ship. Presently something ]
floated by me. By the light of tho
moon, which by this time was well up (
above the horiron, I saw the upturned
ashen face of the first mate. I soon ,
heard a second splash and know that
the captain had met a similar fate.
It was now all |terfeetly plain to me.
The men who had gone ashore had
been babbling in their cujis and had
been overheard by some persou or i?er
sons who had taken advantage of tbelr
absence to capture tlio treasure they
had talked aKtut. I know the robben
had |tossossion of the ship, and what
to do myself 1 coukl not determine.
Possibly I might swim tho distance to
tho shore, but I didn't like tlie idea
of leaving these mou to make awaj
with the treasure, there being no evl
donee of their Identity. While 1 was
deliberating 1 hoard the anchor chain
rattling through the hawse pl|?c and
knew the captors were intending to
make sail, or. rather, drift out of the
harltor, for there was no wind. I lis
tened. hoping to hear the sound of
oars Indicating the return of the crow,
but heard no such sound. The ship
drifted toward me stern on. ami. not
knowing what el*- to do. 1 elungV> the
rudder. But. re.ilixlng that there was
nothing there to support mo for any
length of time. I let go my hokl and.
keeping close under the side of the
ship, waited till the l>ow drifted to me.
then grasped a chain under tho bow
sprft. There I was better protected
front being seen and might cling for
a long while.
When day aawrtco a npivw R|lnfllR
up, ami the ship hove away westward.
?Jteepinp close to the coast. About
sixty miles from Rio they ran her
ashore, bow on. Knowing that I
fchonhl l>e discovered where I was, 1
swam Kick to the rudder, keeping nn
der water all except my eyes. with
which I saw the robbers carry the
treasure ashore There were five of
them, one with red hair and lieard dl
recting their movements I noted his
face and that of every one of them
?o that I should know them apaln. As
noon as they pit ashore each man
ttarted off, staple ring under a bac of
fold. 1 pave them time to pet n start,
then swam to the ladder. clim!>od
?hoard and after potting provisions
followed them. The^ were talking
?ost of the time, which enabled me
to keep at a safe distance. They
moved eastward and after going about
ten miles Mopped at a deserted hut.
went Inside anil when they came ont
had left the treasure. I knew they
bad hidden or burled It Inside.
After a hurried lunch from a basket
they bad brought with them they
?tnrted on to the eastward, walking
rapidly. I felt sure they were going
to Rio and wished to pet there as soon
as possible In order that they should
not be missed. Striking a road, they
hired a conntrj man to drive them and
were thns lost to me.
However. I made my way to the city
