CHAPTER V.
Tho Third Sign.
IN the middle of tho night, at Now
York, hundteds of thousands sim
ultaneously awoko with ti feeling
of suffocation.
They struggled for breath as if they
had suddenly been plunged into a steam
bath.
Tho air was hot, heavy, and terribly
oppressive.
Tho throwing open of windows
brought no relief. Tho outer ulr was
as stilling as that within.
It was so dark that, on looking out,
one could not see his own doorstcpB.
Tho arc lamps in tho street flickeicU
with an ineffective bluo gleam which
shed no Illumination round about.
House lights, when turned on. looked
like tiny candles enclosed in thick bluo
globes. v
Frightened men and women stumbled
around In the gloom of their chambers
trying to dress themsoivcs.
Cries and oxclamatlons rang from
room to room; children walled; hysteri
cal mothers ran wildly hlthor and hith
er, partly through terror and partly
from the difficulty of breathing. Sick
persons, seized with a terrible oppres
sion of tho chest, gasped, and never
roso from their beds.
At every window and in every door
way, throughout tho vast city, lnvlstblo
heads and forms were crowded, making
their presence known by their voices
distracted householders striving to peer
through tho strange darkness, and to
find out tho causo of theso terrifying
phenomena.
Some managed to 'get a faint glimpse
of their watches by holding them closo
against lamps, and thus noted tho tlmo.
It was 2 o'clock in tho morning.
Neighbors, unseen, called to one an
other, but got llttlo comfort from tho
replies.
"What Is It? In God's name, what
has happened?"
"i uon't Know. I can hardly nrcatne. '
"It is awful. Wo shull ull be suffo
cated." "Is it a fire?"
"No! No! It cannot bo a fire."
"Tho air is full of steam. Tho stones
and tho window-panes are streaming,
with moisture."
"Great heavens, how stilling it is!"
Then, Into thousunds of minds at onco.
leaped the thought of the flood!
Tho memory of Cosmo Vorsul's reiter
ated wariings came back with over
whelming force. It must Tje the thlrri
sign that he had foretold. It had come.
Those fateful words "the flood" and
"Cosmo Verbal" ran" from lln to lip.
and tho hearts cf those who spoke, and
those who heard, sank HKo lead in their
bosoms.
Ho wculd bo a bold man, more confi
dent in Us powers of dasciiptlon than
tho present writer, who should attempt
to picture the scenes in New York on
that fearful night.
The gasping and terror-stricken mil
lions waited and longed for tho hour nf
sunrise, hoping that then the E'.vs-lan
daikness woUd b dissipated, so that
people, might, at least, see w.here to go
and what to do. Many, opppicssed hy
tho almost unbreathablo air, jaivo up In
despair, and no longer oven hoped for
mcinlng to come.
In the midst of It all a collision oc
curred directly over Central Park be
tween two aero-expresses, ono coming

TALIAN EMBASSY
Officials Here "Standing
Pat" on Statement of
Fleet Commander.
The Italian embassy is "standing pat"
on the declaration of the commander of
tho Italian fleet at Belrout that ho did
not shell that city, and the Washington
representatives of tho Qulrinal will en
ter no public reply to tho statement
from" tho Turkish "embassy insisting that
Belrout was shelled by the Italian flo
tilla. "The Italian embassy," It was stated
this morning, "will not permit itself
to bo drawn Into any newspaper con
troversy over the Belrout cplsodo or
any other mattei concerning the occu
pation of Tripoli. Tho embassy will con
tinue to give out statements furnished
It from Romo and will content itself with
this, which has been the attltudo hith
erto." The Turkish embassy still Insists that
the Italian ships did bombard the city
and deBtroy a number of buildings, in
cluding the Ottoman Bank and tho
Bank of Salonlkl, besides a number of
private buildings, and that tho Italian
fleet failed to give twenty-four hours'
notice of Intent to fire upon tho city.
Tho Turkish embassy does not mince
words In describing tho conduct of the
Italians.
"The bomburdment of Belrout," says
tho embassy statement, "was In viola
tion of articles I und II, of tho ninth
convention of Tho Hague, for tho good
reason that a delay of only twenty min
utes for the surrender of the ships was
not a reasonable one and proves that
Italy is acting against every respect
of International laws and modem in
sttutlons." "As to the denial." concludes tho
statement, "of the Italian fleet com
mander regarding the bombardment of
Belrout, it can only be placed In that
class of denials which Italv put for

DECLINES EWER

city limits had for somo tlmo been
prohibited, on account of tho constant
danger of collisions, but tho long-distance
linos were porrnltted to enter the
metropolitan district, making their
landings nnd departures on specially
constructed towers.) Thabo two, crowd
ed with passengers, had, as It after
ward appeared, completely lost tholr
bearing's tho strongest electric lights
being Invisible a fow hundred feet
away, whtlo tho wireless signals wore
contusing and before tho dunger was
apprehended they crashed together.
Tho collision occurred at a height of a
thousand foet on tho Fifth avenue side
of the parlc. Both of the airships had
their aeroplanes smaBhcd and their
decks crumpled up, and the unfortu
nate crows and passengers were hurled
through tho Impenetrable darkness to
tho ground.
Only four or fire, who were lucky
enough to bo entangled with tho light
er parts of tho wreckage-, escaped with
their Uvea. But they wcro too much
Injured to got upon their foot, and
there they lay, their sufferings made
ten fold worse by the stilling air and
tho horror of their incxpllcablo situa
tion until they wero found and hu
manely relieved more than ten hours
after their fall.
Tho noise of tho collision had been
heard In Fifth avenue, nnd its meaning
was understood, but amid tho universal
terror no ono thought of trying to aid
tho victims. Everybody wns absorbed
In wondering what would become of
himself.
When tho long-awaited hour of sun
rlso approached tho -watchers wero ap
palled by tho absenco of oven tho
slightest reappearance of tho orb of
day. Thoro was no lightening of the
dense cloak of darkness, and the great
city seemed dead.
For the first tlmo In Its hjstory it
failed to nwako after Us regular period
of repose and to solid forth Its myriad
voices. It could not bo seen; It could
not bo henid- it mado no sign. As far
as any outward Indication of Its exist
ence was concerned tho mighty capital
had ceased to be.
It was this frightful sllenco of the
streets and of all the outer world that
terrified tho people, cooped up In their
houses and their rooms, by tho walls of
darkness, more than almost any other
circumstance. It gjivo such nn over
whelming Benso of 'tho universality of
tho disaster, whatever that disaster
might bo. Except whero tho voices of
neighbors could be heard, onu could not
bo sure that tho whole population, out
side hlB own family, hod not perished.
As tho hours passed and yet no light
appeared, another Intimidating circum
stance manifested itself. From the start
everybody had noticed the excessive hu
midity of th denso air. Every solid ob
ject that tho hands came In contact
with in tho darkness was wet, as If a
thick fog had condensed upon it. This
supcrsaturatlon of the air (a principal
cause of the difficulty experienced in
breathing) led to a result which would
quickly havo been foreseen If peoplo
could havo had tho uso of their eyes,
but which, coming on invisibly, pro
duced a panic fear when at lust Its pres
ence was strikingly forced upon tho at
tention. Tho moisture collected on all exposed
surfaces on tho roofs, tho walls, tho
pavements until its quantity became
sufficient to form little rills, which
sought tho gutters and thcro gatheied
force and volume. Presently the streams
became large enough to create a nolso
of flowing water that attracted tho at
tention of tho anxious watchers at open
windows. Then cries of dismay arose.
If the water had been visible It would
not havo been terrible.
But, to the overstrained Imagination,
the bubbling nnd splashing sound that
came out of the darkness was magnl
fled Into tho rush of a torrent. It

STORY.
garrett p. serves
(Copyright, 1811, The Frank A. Munsey Co,) I
seemed to grow louder evory moment.
What was but a murmur on tho ear
drum became a roar In the excited brain
cells.
Onco moro wero heard tho ominous
words, "Tho flood I"
They spread from room to room, and
from house to house. Tho wild
scones that had attended the first
awakening wore tamo in comparison
with what now occurred. Self-control
reason everything' gavo way to
panic.
If they could havo seen what they
wero nbout!
But then they would not havo been
about it. Then their reason would not
have boen dethroned.
Darkness Is tho mlcroscopo of the
Imagination, and It magnifies a million
times 1
Somo timorously descended their door
steps, and feeling a current of water In
tho gutter, recoiled with erica of hor
ror, as If thoy had slipped down the
bank of a flooded river. As they re
treated they believed that the water
was rising at their heels.
Others mado their way to tho roofs,
fiersuadcd that tho flood waa already
nundating the basements and tho lower
stories of tholr dwellings.
Women wrung their hands and wept,
and children cried, and men pushed and
stumbled about, and shouted, and would
havo dono something If only they could
havo seen what to do. That was the
pity of itl It wan as If the world had
been stricken blind, nnd then tho trump
of an archangel had sounded, crying:
"Fly! FlyJ for tho Avongor is on
your heels!"
How could they fly?
This awful strain could not havo
lasted. It would havo neded no dcluco
to ilntsh New Vork If that maddening
pan or daritncss nau remained unbroken
n few hours longer. But Just whon
thousands had given up In despair, thero
camo n rapid change.
-At tho hour of noon light suddenly
broke overhead. Beginning In a round
patch Inclosed In an Iridescent halo, it
spread swiftly, seeming to melt Its way
down through tho thick, dark mass that
choked tho air, and In less than fifteen
minutes Now York and all Its ur-roundlngs-emerged
Into tho golden light
of noonday.
Peoplo who had expected at any mo
ment to feel tho water pitilessly rising
about them looked out of their win
dows, and wero astonished to sco only
tiny rivulets which were already shriv
eling out of sight In tho gutters. In a
few minutes thero was no running
water left, although the dampness on
tho walls and walks showed how great
tho humidity of the air had been.
At the same time tho oppression was
lifted from the respiratory apparatus,
and everybody breathed freely onco
more, and felt courage returning with
each respiration.
The whole great city seemed to utter
a vast sigh of relief.
And then Its olco was heard, as It
had never been heard before, rising
higher nnd louder every moment, it was
tho first tlmo that morning bad ever
broken at midday.
The Btreets became filled with magical
quickness, by hundreds of thousands,
who chattered, and shouted, nnd
laughed, and shook hands, and asked
questions, and told their experiences,
and demanded if anybody had over
heard of such a thing before, and won
dered what It could havo been, and
what It meant, and whether It would
conio back again.
Telephones of nil kinds wero kept
constantly busy. Women called up their
friends, and talked hysterically; men
called up their associates and partners,
and tried to talk business.

WASHINGTON TIMEB BUREAU.
ANACOSTIA, D. C, FEB. 27.
It required tho united efforts of four
policemen with block-and-falls and a
generous supply of ropo to rescuo tho
horso nnd market wagon of Mrs. Ida
Duvall from a miry bed Into which
they had sunk while Mrs. Duvall wns
driving homo from market yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Duvall, who Is about
fifty years old, was given an cxtremo
shook when sho realized that tho
horso and vohclo wero sinking into tho
earth. With n cry of alarm sho leaped
to a placo of safety. In a short tlmo
both horso and wagon wero nearly out
of sight.
When Mrs. Duvall called for as
sistance sovcral residents of tho neigh
borhood responded, and a hurry call
was sent to tho Anacostia police sta
tion. Mounted Sergeant Cornwell and
Policemen Tarmon, Geo and Waters
responded In the patrol wagon with
ropes and block-and-falls. Tho Water
Department was notified at tho same
time, as tho accident had occurred near
tho Rldgo and Anacostia roads, whero
a water main has boen Installed recent
ly. Tho Water Department at onco
sent a derrick to the scene.
The policemen proceeded to attach
tho block-and-falls to tho horse, which
had broken loose from tho wagon. Then
they tied their rope around a big tele
graph polo and pulled tho animal out,
but not until 1'ollcoman Waters had
sunk into tho earth to his waist. Af
ter half an hour's hard work tho horso
was brought, out, when an amusing cli
