Steamer With 300 Passengers Fast
On the Rooks.
London, June 22, ---Fog, which has
been Swung and lining intermittently
over different parts of the British
coast (luring the past two days, has
caused an unprecedented number of
accidents to shipping. The North Ger-
man Lloyd Company lute been the
oriucipal sufferer. While the -cam-
Pany's staffs ut London and Southamp-
ton were busy docking the Kaiser
Wilhelm II., which was badly ripped
in a collision with the Incept:ire yes-
terday, and debarking her passengers,
they received 'a second shock in the
news that the company's steamer
Ihielow, from Kokolima, with more
than iwo paseengere, hail stuck her
nciee tightly into the rocks of Bleckner
Day, 4111(1 was held _fast there.
Happily, ihe accident also was
without. loss of lite, as in the ease of
the Kaiser Wilhelm. because the sea
was perfectly smooth. The littelow
restated an attempt to pull hey off mith
three tugs. IIer inner ,kit has not
been pereltrated, but it was considered
advisable to transfer the passengers
amt baggage to tug as Later •the pas-
sengers were sent to WaYmouth and
from there by special train to London.

lt -using to Addison V, Armour, of the
New York Yacht Club, bound for

tween Worbarrow and St. Alban's

tugs to her assistance, and it is ex-
pected Unit she will be refloated- to -
The British meta Carted also
grounded in tho fog near St. Alban's
Head, and a naval mlue sweeper went
ashore at ,Atherfleld Lodge, near
Cowes.
The divers' examination of the
Kaiser Wilhelm 111„ and tho passen-
ger' stories show that good con-
strnetioo as well as good manage -

from a tragic end. She lies at her
Southampton dock with two vents in
her side, 24 and 18 feet long, below
the waterline, with two compartments
flooded.
The Ineemore; which cut :into the
Kaiser 'Wilhelm on Wednesday after-
noon, has also been docked, with
bows badly damaged. The collision
almost duplicated that between the
Canadian Pacific Railway liner Em-
Prees of Ireland and the Storstad, and
promises to furnish the courts with
-a similar controversy to settle.
FIFTEEN LIVEr
Thought Lost in Train Wreck
Near Inverness, Scotland.
Loudon, Eng., June 22. -:-Three wo-
men were drowned, and it is feared
that a dozen other persons perished
to -day when a passenger train went
through a culvert and into a torrent
at Carr bridge, 28 miles south of In-
verness, Scotland.
A thunderstorm that ravaged the
North of England and Scotland, was
responsible for the accident. . The
train from Pertli was crossing the
culvert and became derailed, and the
culvert, which bad become under-
mined, collapsed, and the passenger
coaches fell into the water. It is fear-
ed that besides the known drowned a
dozen other persons were caught in a
submerged coach, .
- Many persons on the train escaped
from the cars, but drifted about in
the stream, and were badly injured be-
fore being rescued. •
The scene of the wreck is a bleak
and desolate spot, where it was diffi-
cult to obtain assistanee.

The captain bowed.
CHAPTER XVIIL
Leicester had spoken the truth when
he had said, in answer to the captain's
inquiry, that he had been out to see
the ghost.
• But he had another Object.
Since the 'morning when'he had eome
upon the captain seated hi the tinned
chapel he could not rid himself of the
suspicion that the captain was impli-
cated in the envesdroppmg of his ser-
vant Jem, and ilea ahe astute and
plausible master was the prime mover
end director of some plot, while Jem
was only the maehine or tool.
Thereupon, not tieing able to s1P6p,
partly from his unhappiness 'concerning
Violet, and his disquietude born'
of his suspicion, he had sauntered out
and made his way to the park.
While there he had caught a glimpse
of the ghost flitting past the ruins.
was about to pursue it when he
saw the captain emerging from behind
the bush.
Instantly suspecting- that it was one
of the gang, he bore down upon him, as
we have seen.
And now Ite told himself he was as
far from the truth as ever.
Like the caplain. he sank into a chair
?and gave himself up to thought with
this result:
"Why should I waste time and energy
on a futile object? It es like a horse
turning. a mill to grind wind! Violet
Mildmay will marry Lord Fitz, the in-
tellectual and the talented! She has
made up her mind to marry a coronet."
he murmured, bitterly, "and he would
not marry Leicester Dodson, the tallow -
maker's son, if he remained hanging at
her apron strings until doomsday. As
for Captain Howard Murpoint, he may
be an honest man and he may not. I
was not born to solve the problem or to
bring him to justice. Let time world wag

He took from the drawers a quantity
of neeeesary artielea of clothing and
packed them in the portmanteau. When
it was filled lie loekeil it ana attached
a label addreesel, "To he taken in the

"line Bert gone?"
""es," said Sire. Dodson, with .4 lit•
tie laugh. "Ire and your father went
off together; and I was almost glad
to get rid of them, for air. Fairfax fid-
gets dreadfully."
After breakfast, Leicester, who felt
anything but cheerful and high-spirited,
strolled out to the cliff,
lie looked down at the sea and missed
the yacht and missed the evolit from
the harbor directly.
"Sailed," he thought. "All the better.
I will wait untia Bert comes been, anti
then hurrah for Afrie's golden :Ands."
He might say "burrab I" bue he did
not feel very jubilant.
With a not eltogether unaccountable
beavineee he sauntered down to the
village.
All was going on as usual, and as he
passed the `Blue Lion," he saw the us-
ual little knot of idlers collected et
the bar.
Among the voices he could distinguish
that of Jon Starling's raised in turbot-
",.htr?nu eh% ?wed down the street to
the beach.
The fishermen were busy with their
nets, end . old Job, the carrier, stood,
with pipe in mouth, looking on.
The men touched their caps, and Job
gave him a rough, kindly good -day.
Ten minutes afterward, and before he
was scarcely out of sight, Captain. Mur -
point came down the path, sauntering
very much after Leicester's fashion,
with a Bengal cheroot in his mouth.
With hie placid smile unon his face,
he sauntered down the beach.
"Well, my men," he said,"good night's
fisbing? Beautiful morning," and then
passed on.
But as he passed Job he whispered in
his ear:
"Meet nie at sunset beh• ind the chapel.
There is danger."
Job, by a motion with his pipe,
mated that he beard and would comply,
and the captain, in bis turn, passed on.
Ire, too, as he had gone by the Mite
Lion had beard the strident tones of
,Tern's harsh voice and had felt rather
disgusted.
Ae lie returned he looked. in and saw
Jem leaning against the bar in a state
bordering upon intoxication.
Jon saw him, but instead of welcom-
ing, him with a respectful salute, scowl-
ed fiercely and sullenly.
The captain thought that it was feign-
ed, and with a cool, "Good -morning, my
num. So you've a ot left the village
yet," was about to stroll on, but 'Tem,
upon whom a great change had fallen,
rendering 'him suspicious of every one,
even of his lord and master, shambled
on after Min.
"What d'ye meant" be hiccoughed.
"Didu't yer tell inc to stop here? Why
don't yer say what yer mean? What's
a Mall to do to please yer?"
The captain, with an alarmed and. pas-
sionate frown on his face, turned upon
him, and after glancing round to see if
any one was neer, said, savagely:
"Silence, you. idot! Go home, aiul
come to me to -night, in the chapel." "
"No, I don't," returned Jem, with a
half-druitken shake of the head. "I
don't go near no chapels! I've had. en-
ough of them!"
"The cliff, then," said the captani,
torn by passion and the fear that some
one would overhear them. "The cliff,
you miserable hound. Come sober, for
there's work to do. Do you under-
stand?"
"I understand," said Jem, sullenly.
"I'm sensible enough, ain't I?"
The captain's reply was a look so full
of ominous evil that if a look could
kill don's days weuld have been ended
there and then.
There was no time to say more, for
footsteps were approaciahag.
The captain hurried on, bursting with
rage soul apprehension,
Lord Fitz ros4 to meet him as he
entered the drawing Toone
On his boyish fece there was an anxi-
ous, nervous look which evould at any
other time have greatly amused the cap-
tain.
"How do you do, captain?" he said,
shaking hands twice in an absent, flust-
ered manner. "I—I came over to see
Mrs. Mildmay—I mean Miss Mildmay,
but she can't be found. Mrs. Mildmay's
gone to look for her. You haven't seen
her, 1 suppose?"
"No.'" said the captain, smiling. "She
won't be found, far off, I expect. I know
some of her favorite seats. Why don't
you go and help to searcht"
-"Oh, I don't know whether she'd like
it, you know," saiki his lordship, with a
wise -shake of the head.
"Faint heart never won fair lady,"
said the captain, significantly.
Lord Fitz flushed and looked at him
eagerly.
"What do you mean?" he stammered.
"Do yea know what I've come about,
eh? You. don't mean to say—"
Then it flashed upon the captain that
Lord Fitz had tome, to propose for

With a readinesa not to

Violet, svho had stood silent and .mo.

"Ay, false!" he retorted, sternly.
"False to tbe pure promptings of your

•
As the captain entered the hall, the
eervant brouglit him a note.
It was front the senator. Mr. Thax-
ten, and indicated that the writer
would be at the Park on the morrow.
"To -morrow," he muttered; "there ie
no time to lose."
With en lair of careless serenity, he
entered the 'drawing -room, with the
open letter in his hand.
For the moment, seeing no one, he
thought that the room was empty, but,
as he was about to leave it, he caught
It glimpse of it muslin dress in a corner,
and. going nearer, found that it was
Violet, and that Violet herself was ly-
ing crouched in the setni-darknees as if
asleep.
He laid his hend upon her shoulder

But the limp figure did not move,
and, bending down, lie saw that she
was not *sleep, but in a swoon.

Rust oh Ships' Plates.
Among the results of the experi-
ments recently made by the German
naval authorities for the purpose of
finding some means of preventing the
rusting of ships' plates was the dis-
covery that in some cases the color
Intended as a protection actually
caused rust. Polished steel plates
were palated with stripes, and to dis-
tinguish them the stripes were num-
bered, the figures being painted over
the stripes in, oil colors. It was then
discovered that rust started immedi-
ately beneath the figures, under the
very spot where it might have been
thought the protection was strongest.
Similar observation:3 were made in
connection with iron objects other
than plates. In experimenting with
different kinds of paint, highly polish-
ed steel plates were painted with one,
two, three and four coats of different
descriptions or paint. Eaeh coat was
allowed to dry thoroughly, and then
steam was passed over the plates.
After some time the paint... was re-
moved, and it was found that the
place with only one coat ot paint was
not rusted at ult.
