BRENT,
CHART MR XXXIV,
Thoy now moved ' u way from the old
ship as Broughton ivas returning. Soon
utter he landed and reported that every4
thing was read y for the firing.
"Very Woll.t' sttld Brent, "nnd he turn?
ed to tho Badger and wnved hi? hand.
Almost Immediately there wns a sharp
report, followed by the bursting of tho
shell und, tl?a splintering of wood, Thoy
could see ' from where thoy stood that
the door and some of Its surroundings
had been knocked to pieces.
? "That's more.than' wo could do In seve?
ral hours," cried the captain. "Now we
can see whether there Is anything of any
vaino on board. . Havo you a lantorn
there, Broughton ?"
"Yos, sir. 1 thought that It might
prove of use If wo woro going down in
the hold, nnd ono of tho hands hero has
brought a wtitoh tackle to hoist any?
thing out that' might bo too hoavy fur
us to lift."
"Good Hdea, that. I am sure that I
hope wo shall havo u chanco to uso'It."
Thoy now 'mado their way back on to
Ilio galloon, nnd found plonty of day?
light streaming through tlio hole In the
bulkhead where the door hnd boon.'Brent,
who wns lending, paused Involuntarily,
and gazed into tho Interior.
"Do you see anything?" asked Made?
leine, anxiously.'
"No," ho replied, with a half ,laugh!
'no, 1 can seo nothing as yet, except
that thoro Is 'old furniture and nil that,
just as It was, barring what has been
knocked about a bit by the eh oil."
Ho entered tho cabin, followed by tho
others, including tho roremast hanoVwlth
his watch tackle, and carrying, beside,
the lantern that Brent had turned over
to his caro.
"This IS tho state cabin, or stateroom.
The original.of tho name which is used
on board vessels for private use of In?
dividuals. It Is directly contrary to tho
ancient usage."
"Papa, dear, you aro a compendium of
useful knowledge, It seems to mo, but I
would like'to'see what Is In this old
place and talk about it aftorward."
"1 see that. I am not appreciated,"
laughed the captain, "but it is nil very
Interesting to a sailor, who studies tlio
rise of shipbuilding nnd tho changes that
have taken placo since vessels ot tlio
ago of this one wero In commission."
"O, It Is very Interesting, you old dear,
but do reserve it till wo have more leis?
ure. You are ITSepIng us all keyed up
with expectation." ?
Thoy were all ln the stato cabin by
this time, staring about them to see what
they could And". Tho carving was rich
and .varied, and the glass In the oup
board, as well as tho silver flagons and
dishes, all highly ornamented, were to
bo found.
"Did you ever see such, richness In a
small srpaco!" exclaimed Bront. "Those
ola dons must have lived ln great state,
though I doubt If thoy had much to eat,"
"They made up In style ot dishes what
they lacked' in food," said Fitzmorrls,
who uri to this timo hnd remained a' si?
lent spectator. "Look nt this groat tank?
ard! It is ,black from tho action of the
salt water, but it Is a beauty, just the
same, and will doubtless polish to its
original brilliancy. Then those great
dt?hes with the rich patterns on t)ie
edges; why, Brent, you can fit out the
Badgor In great style and eat your food
and drink j-our wine from silver!"
"We shall have to draw lots for It.
You havo quite as much right to It, as
I huve. It It liad not been for your part
of tho map I could have done nothing."
"I do not want them. If there Is any
gold or silver coin or bullion, I will take
my share ln that. I would much prefer
It."
"We must look for that. All this stuft
In Oie cabin has distraeteci my atten?
tion, and led me away from tho main
object of flic search. How are we to
get through this floor? Wo cannot blow
It open with a shell, and it looks pretty
solid."
An exclamation from the foremast
hand brought all eyes to whero ho
stood, pointing to the floor beneath him,
"This 'big ring should mean something,
captain," he suld, Indicating a large Iron
ring that was set Into tho floor where he
stood, and bent down,
"Yos, indeed, it does. That must be
the entrance to tho after hold, and that
is whoro all tho valuables are stowed,
or said to be," ho added. "We must
get that ring out and see what comes
with it." He took the lantern from the
man, lit it, and then carefully examined
tho floor,
"Hero we have It," he said, pointing
to a division In the floorboards that made
a trapdoor about four foot square. "Get
hold of that ring, and If the door wUl
not givo way, wo will rig that watjfli
tackle to it, and yank It out by hook
or by crook."
The sailor was down on his hands and
knees now, and with a knife was work?
ing around the edges of the trapdoor.
"Givo mo your ax." ho said to Pruugh
ton after working for ?omo time. "I
may be nblo to pry this up if It Is not
swollen ton much."
Ho Jammed tho blade down Into the
crevice, and made oho.or two ineffectual
attempts to open the door. It yiolded
but slightly, however, to the pressure.
"Wo hnd best rig the watch tackle,"
ho said at last. "The weight of all four
of us should have some effoct on tho
old thing, though It is stuck mighty
hard."
Tho tackle was soon rigged, and then
tho four men laid back and put their
whole length Into It, At first thorn was
no result, but after two or three strong
pulls it seemed to show signs of yield?
ing,
"Three of you haul and I will pry with
the axe," said Broughton, finally,
At last ?here was a mighty creak and
groan, as though the wood hnd done its
best to resist all efforts, and then tho
heavy door swung up and revealed a
blnclc hole below, from which the con?
fined air rushed,
"Whewl" exclaimed Brent "That ts
pretty strong. Isn't,It?"
"It has ben closed up, you must remem?
ber, for no one knows how long, said
Fltzmorrls. "It Is not strange that It does
not smell very sweet," ,
"That will Boon pass off, Give me the
lantern, I am too used, to going Into
f/lilps' holds tn mind a little thing Ulto
this," and Broughton took tho lantern
from the seat where It had been left.
Ho tied a bit of rope yarn to It and low?
ered It Into the darkness. The others
crowded around with Interest end gazed
dc,WT1? ..?, . . , .
"By Jove I" cried Brent. "Just look at
them. Bors and bars 0G them. Bars of
gold or silver, or both, no end I"
It wns so. Panged In layers wero bar?
of Ingots, tier upon tier, evidently ex?
tending down to tho keel, and resting on
top of tfiieni, directly below the opening,
was a heavy chest, apparently of Iron,
about throe feet long and more than two
broad, whllo Its depth could not bo Judged.
Broughton In the meantime had stepped
rjown on top of the chest, and from there
onto tho metal. Taking a large, sharp
Unite from liJs pocket, lis scraped at on?>
of tho bars.
"What In It?" cried the captain.
"Gold, solid gold I" was tihe excited re?
ply.
They looked at each other with wide
Open eyes and In bilenco.
"Houvena!" ???claimed Fltzmorris at
length, "there must bo million? there!"
"There la enough for us nil," replied
Brent, 1? a voice which betrayed th? in?
tensity of his feelings.
"Go to the ship and bring a dozen of
tho mon back with you," he orlod, "Wo
must got that ohost first, and it Is too
heavy for us. Bring another tackle with
you at the same time, and makehoete.
Wo must got this stuff out Of hej? artd
Into tho ship as quick as .possible. .
The man hastened away to, do as he
was bid, glad to carry the wonderful
nows to his comrade?.
CHAPTER XXXV.
In loss than half an hour the heawy
Iron chest was resting on tho dock out?
side of *.he cabin door, and the work of
getting; tho proofous metals out1 of the
hold had commenced, There s'oomod to
bo an endless number of them, and
though the men worked busily, while
Brent" and Fltzmorrle superintended the
work/they seemed to mnko but litte Im?
pression on tho bars below deck,
. "Como and take a look at tlio chest."
said tho captain, "Thoro must bo some?
thing of particular valuo In It. How to
get It open 1 do not see. .Tho only way ?
wllibn to havo one of our machinists)
boro through the hinges or destroy the
lock. Tho covor soems to bo so closely
fitted that you can hardly distinguish
It from tho body of the box."
"Whon thoy mado chonts of that kiri'd
I should say that they made thorn to
stay shut, I wonder If the ownor con?
templated having it stay under water
when, he bought It," Fltzmorrls' laughed
as he stooped down and ran his eye over
the sides.
For a day tho crew of the Badger
worked st?adUy, transferring the treas?
ure from tho galleon to the steamer, a??
finally, with the aid of practically all
hands, It was safely.stowod below decks,
with the exception of the chest, which
remained ?n the oftor deck, waiting to
be opened.
At last every bit of metal was out of
the old ship, and Bront began to think
of getting away.
"It will be Just as well to blow the
old thing up," he said to Lord George,
as on tho morning of tho following day,
they walked up and down enjoying an
aftor breakfast smoke.
"What for?"
"So as to leave no trace of our pro?
ceedings."
"But the natives know that we have
been at work here."
"That Is true. But they do not care,
and cannot boglri to know what we
havo takon off, Hello, there Is a dug
out'comlng down the harbor now. She Is
heading for this boat. ? wonder who
our (visitor Is. Tho others have left us
severely alone .since you gave them that
pleasant little surprise tho other morn?
ing."
Lord George took up the glasses that
rested on tho top of tho companion
way.
"That Is one of the oldest Inhabitants,
at any rate." he said after a prolonged
scrutiny. "He Is coming horo without a
doubt"
Madeletne and L?3sa had Joined them
by this time, and the latter took the
glasses from tho Englishman's hand.
"Let me seo If I do not know that boat.
Tea. It is my father. I did not think
that I could be mistaken."
"Does ho know that you are here7"
"Oh, yes. I sent him word the other
day."
"Sent word to him! How?"
"Ah. if I was to tell you that I should
be giving away a valuable secret. He
knows, and I think that he has some?
thing to communicate, for he Is coming
very fast."
The little craft was Indeed approach?
ing at a very rapid rato, and before
long its occupant had mado fast to
the gang-way and come up the steps.
Lissa and the. others went to meet him
as he came on deck. ,
"I know that yon were here, J-,lssa,
Your message came safely, but I have
been up the harbor to see if I had made
a mistake. I passed by this vessel sev?
eral hours ago. Which Is 'the captain?"
he. asked, turning to the two men.
"I am," replied Brent, 'stopping for?
ward.
*<You have plenty of provisions on
board, I suppose?" *
"Plenty. Why?" Tho captain's face
showed signs of surprise as well as
?anxiety.
"Because you will need them. Ton can?
not get out of hore."
"Cannot got out! What do you mean?"
"Well, not for some weeks, I should
say."
"What on earth is the matter?"
"Tho sand has shifted and now runs
across the entrance., almost from shore
to shore." ,
All turned pale and could not find
words to express their astonishment. At
last tho captain managed to collect him?
self.
"You do not think that this Is per?
manent?"?
"No. There has been a cave on tho
harrow strip at the northern end of the
harbor which separates it from tho sea.
This cave had a subterranean entrance
on the outsldo. The earthquake has
split the land open, so that tho wator
Is pouring through. This has formed a
current, and It Is sweeping down the
other side of the,harbor ond will In a
few weeks clear'a passage. Until it
doos so you cannot leave." j
"A fow weeks!" exclaimed Brent,
ho gozod at the othor. "Aro you surs
of this?"
"Will you come for yourself and see?"
was tho quiet reply.
"Wo will oil go. Mnrchnmp, have
steam up In the launch nt once and we
will look Into this matter. It was stupid
of me, but I never thought of euch an
event,"
"There Is no reason why you should,
sir," said Campbell, "I found 'It out
when 1 was going fishing yesterday
evening. That Is, I found that there was
a current soiling out at the further on
trnnoo. Thero never had been s'iteli a
tiling, so 1 knew that something must
havo happened. This morning early I
came up from tho outsldo of the new
bar nnd saw how narrow. tho passage
Iin4 become and, sounding, found about
12 feet of water. Then G continued im
the harbor, and tho current grew strongor
and stronger till I reached the spot where
the ?a?? had been, There was no need
then in asking wiiat had made It. Thoro
Is a clear ppsange to the sen, but It Is too
narrow In one part for you to go through,
und I do not as yet know the depth of
wafer,"
"But you feel that It will eventually
clear a passage over yonder so that wo
can laavo'i" c
"There is no question about it, but It
wilt tako timo."
They were soon In the launch, nnd
Breaming toward the further shore. Very
soon the vessel struck tho current, which
was strong enoug-h to make Itself felt.
Wo will run through the paasa'ge, and
thou come back and go up to the remains
of the cave," naht Brent.
(Tt* be Continued To-morrow.)
