pressed readiness for the trial on any

tion of fixing a day for the trial of
the case on Its merits on the pend?

caused the captain suddenly to change
the course of the Pilot, for he saw
seven men lashed to the masts and

Before dark the Pilot had come
alongside the schooner, and boats were
lowered nnd no time was lost in mak?

middle Chesapeake, and iho vessel
soon sprang n leak.
The crew worked at the pumps, hut
finally the vessel filled, and captain
and crew were forced to take to the |
rigging. The helm of the schooner was
set for the shore, and the red flannel
shirt was fastened to tha masthead.
The cale continued all day Wednes
