She saw now how Le Fevre had cleverly taken ad- vantage of the superstition and ig- morance of the pigmies, made them believe he was a Devil God, had proved he Sold kill hem with a ash of light from a strange weapon he pdb and thus had gained ab solute mastery, Kwana said he had tried to his people as much as he eoul hoping the white man would die or fe away, He had stood between the natives and Le Fevre's wrath many t often taking blows from his cruel whip for minor wrongs of some other native, "Must help," he said, briefly, "So no help white mam sell get away, Other help, Suka, he die, . Suka, Joan discovered, was Gura's husband, father of the new-born baby chief, "No, Kwana, I won't have it," she protested. "We'll manage some other way, I don't want any of you to be blamed and be killed." Ignoring her protests, Kwana out- fined a way she could escape to the beach, e'd be working for Le Fevre, so no suspicion would be at- tached to him, Joan could slip away from Mora, "Marster beat her. he commanded, Then, he said, Suka, in charge of the guard at the cliff, would help her down to the beach "Marster kill Suka, All right," he rotested. "Can't finished, "Nal Nol" Joan ou see I cannot do that? I won't fave Mora beaten or Suka killed." Her voice was leading, "No want go!" He looked prised, "Yes--but we shall have to think of some other way Can't you let my friends come up and rescue me? They could tie up the guards and Le Feyre wouldn't punish them then," "You know marster, He bad. He D vil God, He kill me then" They walked on in silence, There was a barely discernible path through the jungle, and the two pig- mies who carried Gura on the litter were amazingly gentle as they avoid- ed overhanging bushes and thorn trees Soon they were in the wilder- ness, without a sign of a ropd.

SHIP'S CAPTAIN IS BLAMED IN SINKING OF VESSEL VESTRIS (Continued from Page 1) foundering ship, and feeling the bridge on which he stood sinking beneath his feet, Captain Carey, one of his stewards said; jumped into the water without a lifebelt, tough there were plenty to be ad, I) + +Of the 125 survivors brought in on the American Shipper, 41 were passengers and 84 crew, of the 28 on the Berlin, which docked at the same time 18 were crew and only five passengers, From these 46 passengers from the sunken steamer, there came 8 story of hardship and heroism, of bravery and bungling, of good in- tentions and incompetence, which altogether comprised probably as breathless a tale of the sea as has been heard in all the history of sea- manship, The composite story of the pas- sengers reduced to its essentials, is a8 follows; Making Last T ter On Saturday last the Vestris, a 16-year-old craft on which Captain Carey was making his last trip be fore assuming command of the news er Voltaire, as commander of the Lamport and Holt line, sailed for the Barbados and South American ports with 120 passengers and a crew of 109, There were 37 wom- P.

The boats broke open about 15 feet agove the water and pour- ed their human contents into the sea, In the list of survivors there are the names of but 10 of the 87 women who sailed on the Vestris and the name of not a single child. By that time the Vestris was sinking rapidly, Two boats were Successfully launched but a hole Was stove in one and it put off patched with a plece of tin, to sink' before it had 'gone 100 feet. These twa boats carried about 80 persons. About 50 had been dumped from the broken boats, The rest began leaping from the rails and swim. | ming for their lives lest suction drag them to their deaths when the vessel sank. Neal O'Laughlin, chief radio operator, remained in his cabin, trying to get one last appeal out of his exhausted set. Captain Carey stood on the bridge and ordered two stewards, who went to him, te save themselves, They jumped, and looking back, saw him step quietly without bothering to strap a lifebelt about him, into the sea, Then the 'ship sank and he was not seen again. Authority for Strictures The strictures against Capt.
