We were hoznewarrl bound in. the sbip

He sang out: "Below there! Is them

as if In a quandary.
This was (be first time I ever saw the
old fellow show the white feather.
After a little while he braced up and,
seizing the crowbar, broke open the eabin
skylights, using, as it rimmed to me, un-
necessary force in so doing. A mysteri-
ous, pestilent odor ameaded from the
aperture.
"Go down below, B111," said the skipper
to one of his boat's crew, "and see what
there is."
"Captain, I'd rather jump overboard
and never come up again thaa go down

reply of the seared seller, whose timbers
actually shivered with fear.
"You wretched coward, you've drunk

roared the skip,per es he plunged down
the cabin steps.
I followed hint at a cautious distance,
being far more frightened than he was.
The stairs led down into a handsome and
lofty saloon, beautifully hung with ori-
ental tapestry. In a mahogany swinging
tray above the cabin table were decanters
and tumblers of cut glass. Although ev-
erything was covered with blue mold an
inch thick, it was evident that a careful
steward had been accustomed to rule over
the destinies of the saloon.
On either side of the main cabin were a
number of doors leading into staterooms.
The skipper tried the one neareet the
stern on the starboard side. It was lock-
ed.
"Pass down that crowber. BM," said
the captain in quiet tone. He no longer
put on the air of a swaggering blusterer,
but acted as though be was in church lis-
tening to a sky pilot.
The crowbar was handed him. and with

New York, March 24. - The Tri-
bune says; A report was current
three or four months ago, and denied
at the time by representativee of
both companies, that negotiations
were In progress for the purchase
by the United States Steel Corpora-
tion of a controlling interest in the
Niceel Corporation of London, Eng-,
land, -The basis for that report de-
velopeyesterday, when it was
learned that Charlet M. Schwab,
acting, however, as an individual,
and not in any sense as a repro -
;tentative of the United States Steel
Corporation, had, in company with
certain' other .sapitalists, purchased
an interest in the Nickel Corporation
and other nickel -producing concerns.
Robert M, Thompson, president and
princlpal owner .of the Orford Cop-
per Company, when asked about a
published statement that control of
that company, the Canadian Cop-
per Company ef Cleveland, and the
Nickel Company of Paris, France,
had been obtained by Mr. Schwab
and several of his financial as-
sociates, who had organize'd a $9,-
000,000 for taking over these pro-
perties, said:
"Our comptuty obtaine a large
part of its supply of nickel
from the mines of the Canadian
Copper Company, in the Province -
of Ontario, and the New Caledonian
Mines of the Nickel Corporation of
London (not the Nickel Company of
Paris). The stock of these two
companies seemed to me a desirable
investment, end I and several asso-
ciates, among them Mr. Schwa,b,pur-
chased a controlling interest in the •
Canadian. Copper Company, and a
considerable block of stock of the ,
Nickel Corporation, although not
enough to constitute control.It
is our purpose to. term }), holding
company, capitalized, probably at •

ferred the controlling interest in. the
