A forlorn group of men, picked up

to be the sole survivorsof the Ver

Murder ,for Murder's Sake
The story of. the Veronica •is gra-
phically told in "Strange Tales of the
Sbven Seas," by J. G. Lockhart.
Mr. Los art's boolc lives well
up to its title., Indeed, as he him-
self says in his' preface: "Reading
them through in hulk, X find there is
rather more bloodshed than,I bargain-
ed for. As inthe oicl•tiine 'penny

at the .Central Criminal Comet, Lon

mutiny of the Flowery Land, is yesael
which sailed train London in July,
1863, for Singapore. •
Among her cas'go were several bags
of metal colts, polished t0 look like
sovereigns, -and actually worts about
:one penny each. R.oisnd these bags
grew up a legend that the Flowery
Land Ives a treasure 'ship, and this
legend had a great deal to de with
what followed.
The crew were a very mixed 'crowd,
only five of them 'being English—the
captain, 'John Smith,' his brother:
;George, who was a passenger, the first
and second mates, and the ship's boy.
The others rolht'esenteti nearly a dozen„
different nationalities. 'r
There ,was muchunpleasantness

which culminated on the night of Sep-
tember 7th, when the ship's boy, Jim

Young Early, running courageously'
forward, saw the mate lying on the
snoop; with a half-Ureed member of
the crew belaboring him with .a;
"heaver," a wpelleit. tool used for split.,

Thousands ask;
Why the struggle,
Why the task? -

Bead shouts: nothing!
Heart—yon Ile!"
--Philip 1I. Raskin.
