It often happens that in at- tempting to uncork a bottle, the stopper is forced into the bottle instead, and thus floats on the liquid. This would perhaps not be a drawback were it not that each time the bottle is to be‘ emptied the cork comes to the neck and causes an obstruction, preventing the flow 'of the liquid. This can be avoided very readily, and all that is needed is to bend ‘a piece of stiff iron wire in a bong U- sha e, properly fitting it in the n of the bottle ‘80 that the Icon portion projects somewhat below the neck.

Plainly our first duty was to descend into the inclosed valley and explore the hillock in the center. 1 made no doubt but that we should find some sort of an altar and more of those curi- ous stone images there. If they still remained the rest of our task Would be comparatively easy Now I had noticed that the coral wall both on the outer and inner sides was honeycombed with openings. rifts. fissures and caves which. by the way. were more frequent and deeper ou’the inside face. why I know not. We should have been compelled painfully and laboriously to search the whole fate of the clifl' in its extent of fifteen miles or so, but for the further direc- tion of the parchment. I was thank- ful that. sailor like. old Sir Philip had given us the bearing. How did his words run? Something like this, my memory told me. With this determination. therefore. we set out. As I did not know how long our exploration would require and as I rather thought we should have to make a day of it. we started betimes. Indeed. as we invariably retired short- ly after sunset we naturally rose at break of day. I took along food enough for the day. knowing that we could get water from the brooks and certain fruits whieh l judged would be good for us from the trees. The body or Slr Geoffrey Wilberforce. ruined gambler and suicide, is lound by Hampdon. a sailor Hampdon quarrels with the Duke of Ame-star. Hampdon breaks the news tn Lucy Wil- berforce and delivers a letter found on her father‘s body. Hampdon punishes the duke for insult- ing Lucy. Hamouun and Lucy start in a. ship for the Island of the Stairs. They escape from the cave and the is- land. are picked up by a. ship. and Hamp- don wins the love of Lucy. It contains half 01’ a map of a treasure island. Lucy already has the other halt. There are directions for finding the treas- ure. Hampdon steals a kiss. and Lucy has him imprisoned in a cabin. Desperate men In the crew mutiny. Pimball and Glibby demand the map of the island of Hampdon. who pretends to join the mutiny. Hampdon demands pos- session of Lucy. He treats her with respect and offers to save her from the mutzneers. The pair plot to escape to the Island of the Stairs. They discover a vast quantity of gold. silver and precious stones. War canoes of savages approach the island. Hampdon and Lucy flee to the treasure cave. They are attacked by the savages. led by Pimball and Glibby. Lucy asks Hampâ€" don to kiss her goodby. We went directly to the. stairs and mounted them Delaying but little on the own.

Beneath the trees and quite invisible from above. a paved road or path. They are carried over a coral reef to the island. whpre they find rude statues and mount a gigantic stall-case of stone. The mutineers pursue them. but are stooped by the reef. and Hampdon and Lucy make a search for the hidden treas- ure. The mutineers become intoxicated. and Hampdon and Lucy leave the ship for the island. which is nearby. They pass a strange altar surrounded by masses of human. bones and skulls and find the cave mentioned on the map. w 1911. iv Cm T< SYNOPSIS bare!) iYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY ’ Being a 'True Account of Certain Stung: and Wonderful Adven- tures of Master John dampdon, Seaman, and Mistress Lucy Wiz’bcrforce, Genzlcwoman, In the Great Souih Seas. barely Wide enough for four to walk abreast upon, extended straight across the island to the hilluek in the middle.

This level. proba. bly artificial. had been paved with the huge. dark gray rock of the stairs and statues and pathways. 1 may say in passing that in all our exploration of the island. which however. was not very thorough or complete owing to thesllortness of our stay upon it. we saw no quarry whence this rock could have been taken, and the only way of accounting for its presence was that it had been brought' there across the seas by the makers of the monuments and stairs. whoever they might have been. They must have had large sea- worthy vessels and adequate means of land transportation. to say nothing of a most considerable engineering abil- ity to accomplish these mighty works. Finally we landed at the foot of the hillock. As 1 had observed from the wall it was grass grown and tree clad. Indeed. We should have been hard put to it to have ascended it. so dense was the vegetation, had it not been for the fact that the path was continued around the hill constantly mounting. Where it ran the somewhat shallow earth had been cut away on the hill- side and the rock surface laid bare. Of course this path was frightfully over grown. We ascended with the utmost care.

I mounted to the top alone. There before me lay a platform which was sunk beneathrme for a depth of two feet and which was sur- rounded by a low wall, on the top of which i stood. The three images rose from a smaller platform on a level with the top of this wall in the midst. and the whole place was filled with a horrible and frightful mass of human bones Skulls. legs. thighs and small- er bones. heaped in terrible confusion, lay bleaching before me..and the space between them was filled with a tine dust. doubtless the dust of earlier bones which had mouldered away through centuries. Those that still preserved their shape were the top layer and were bleached perfectly white. They lay in all directions. as if they had been cast aside carelessly and at random. yet there were indica- tions that there had been a path from where I stood to the platform of the three images. which 1 perceived was just about long enough to lay a human body on. ‘ I stared apprehensively. 1 must con- fess. at this frightful charnel house of the centuries. The only evidenves of humanity we had discovered were these frightful skeletons I would have prevented it. but my mistress suddenly came and stuud by my side.

"Well. then." I said. “will you go down to the platform out of sight of this horribfe place and wait for me?” “Men have been here." she faltered. ”Horrible. cruel men." I tried gently to dissuade her. but. as usual, she would have her way, so that at last 1 gave In. “Well. then." said I. “at least let me go before.” l stepped down Into the great re ceptaele intending to Clear the way with my feet by kicking away the layer of bones. and then. extending my arm behind me with both her hands caught in mine. she followed me down into the inc-Insure.
