a breakfast also. Manoa, whose

was glveu up. Theu. being eonviueei
that we hntl overshot our murk and
that the rivi?r of our search was be
hind us. Alee gave the word to 'bout
ship, and we lande our way slowly
back again In t,.e face cf n tensing suecession
of easterly winds.
The heat at times was awful, and
crowded as we were the atmosphere
'tween decks was anything but restating
to our unfortunately numerous sic!
men. Scarcely three days passed with
out some poor scurvy rotted corpse be
tag throwu to the sharks, whose black
fins never stirred from our wake.
Matters got worse and worse till the
grumbling of the crew came to n head
tn open mutiny.
The sultry heat of the day was ulmost
killing. Not a breath of air
tarnished the brazen sen. but over the
mangrove bushes which fringed the
low shore to westward hung a sullen
white steam which shut out the country
from our eyes. Ono would have
thought tlint the weather was too hot
for any exertion that conld possibly be 1
avoided, but discord, like tbe devil, cau
live in any clime, aud on this broiling
d?v the sound ones of the crow made
their way aft in a body. I 1
A little Irishman whom Alec had , '
taken in pity from the streets of Wrls- j {
tol, where he was starving, was their i '
spokesman, and his election to that (
post was no* undeserved, as he had by (
his vaporing* stirred up the whole > 1
touting
The^bronn faced crowd surged {
against the break of the poop on which
there were only us five officers and <
the steersman standing beside his idly
swaying tiller. *
"Stop, meal FW anOMghl" oried Alec
In authoritative tones. "What Is It
yon want?"
"Many things. Masther Captain." .
said tbe Irishman, with an Insolent (
laugh; "everything a man can wanthealth,
comfort and wealth. There's
senrvy marks on Ivery wan av us, an 1
no wondher, seeln that the only green *
food that has passed the lips av us 1

dbropped ycstcre'en nil thin to cruise
for what we can git higher up on the
Spanish mainJ' There's no call for

turning to the rest of us. ''though sure
it would be a plisnut diversion, but
whin a score nv nonest lads lias died
like sheep wld the rot it's toimc for
the rest to spake. An so my mates
here has Insthructed me to say that nv
they doesn't git their way given, why.
thin they'll Jlst take It."
All eyes turned 011 Alec, who had
heard the fellow out with a patience
which surprised me. Ho went a step
or two farther nft, leaued on the rail
or me liuie stairway which led to the
cabin below and then answered them,
speaking quietly and without allowing
a tinge of annoyance to show Itself In
Ills voice.
"You make matters far worse than
they are," lie said. "A few man have
died,- and that I grieve for, but scurvy
always hoards a ship on a long voyage
like this, and not a man of you but
kuew that when he pocketed his bounty
on Bristol quay. Now hear what I
have to say. XV6 must be very near
the mouth of the river we seek, and
we shall find It. For six days the
Bristol Merchant will sail southward.
If by that time the pugan has not
pointed out the river's mouth to you I
shall steer north again and harry the
Spanish towns. Now hack with you to
your own end of the ship!"
A sullen murmur rose among the
crew, and several of the holder spirits
began to climb the poop ladders, headed
by the spokesman. Without moving
from the cabin stairs Alec held up
his hand for silence. The fools thought
he was going to give way and halted
to listen.
"Hear me!" he cried in ringing tones.
"You think to take possessiou of the
ship by mere weight of numbers. Well,
"Choose for yourselves. Mutineers shall
never command the Krlstol Merchant."
you may do It, and if yfcu do you may
hold her for perhaps 30 seconds?not
more. Before a hand can reach me
shall be down this ladder and Into the
powder room, aud one shot'from this"
?and he drew a wheel lock pistol from
bis pocket?"will blow us all Into eternity
together. Choose for yourselves.
You know what my word Is worth, and
1 swear to you that while Alexander
Ireland lives mutineers shall never
command the Bristol Merchant. Nowcome
on If you will!"
The mob of men wavered a moment
and then drew back slowly to the
waist.
"Good!" said Alec. "You think better
of it But I am going to make an
example of the arch mischief maker.
Send that man aft."
Half by persuasion, half by blows,
the Irishman was forced up the poop
ladder.
"Boatswain, heave him overboard!"
"Aye, aye. sir."
Willie Trehalion's knotted left hand
grasped the little IiHshman by the
neck, and his iron book slipped into the
band of his breeches. A struggling
body shot through the air, bumped on
the bulwark and slid with a splash into
the warm sen beneath. There was a
icurrylng of black triangular fins, a
shriek of agony, a few ruddy bubbles
rising to the oily surface, and the greatest
enemy to the ship's peace was sifenced
forever.
A hush fell on tlie crew. Each man
ooked at his neighbor, and then they
ill stole quietly forward again and had
the caltn continued more mischief
night have been hatched among their
whispering groups. But Alec's keen
?ye detected a rutlllng of the glassy wa- i
ters to the northward, and that was
>ur salvation.
"Trim sail, the watch!" he cried.
There was not a pause. The men
iprang to their stations, braced round
the yards to catch the first of the coning
breeze, and In ten minutes we were
xiwllng merrily along. The mutiny**
was a thing of the past
The wind lifted the mists from the
ihore, and before we had way on the
ihlp an hour the pagan, who was staudng
In the beak, began to dance and gesticulate
In the most extraordinary
nanner. laughing and pointing with his
finger to the land on our bow. Half a
losen of us climbed into the round
tops and thence aloft tHl we perched
in the yards, from which eminence we
:ould sec n long steellike ribbon of water
stretching away through the dark
forest till It was lost In tho haze of the
nm instance. i
That shining thread was the river of 1
iur search. Up Its windings lay the I
Kingdom of El Dorado and Mance, its
capital, the city that was built oCgold.
CHAPTER IX.
At the sight of that band of shining
rater a spontaneous cheer arose from
very throat on board. Discord and i
lissenslon fled discomfited before tho
advance of the visions of wealth that
?ur hopes saw mirrored la the glassy
inrface of the river.

(grinning till his soar jagged up like a
saw) was sent with an eager boat's
crow to sound, and before the first star
of night had thrown its reflect ion in
the water round us we were anchored,
and the ripples that lapped against our
wooden walls had not a grain of salt in
them. We hail left the trackless ocean
to follow where the river should lead
us.
Nets of mangrove roots formed au
impenetrable thicket on either bank,
though it was no easy task to tell
where the slug flowing water ended
and the liquid mud of the shore began.
Loathsome reptiles?which some of us
took to be dragons, till the knowing
ones told us they were only crocodiles
?lay half In and half out of the evil
smelling brown water, winking their
lazy eyes at us and taking charge In a
slow, cumbrous way of every scrap
that was flung overboard. Tree toads
barked, beasts of prey howled In the
distant forests, foul night birds cronked
from the thickets of the shores, and
from the evil smelling stream there
arose a putrid yellow tnlst thick and
rank enough to choke one.
"It's a fever trap we've got Into,"
growled Willie Treholion, shifting his
tangled black wig from the pocket
where he had carried it during the heat
of the day to his head, "an if we've
no more'n half a seore o' men down by
morning's light we'll be uncommon
lucky, say I."
"Don't croak, you unsatisfied old raven,"
said Alec lightly, but he looked
grave none the less.
"The pagan," put in Job, with his
usual grin, apologetic in meaning this
time, "says this Is only one o' the
mouths, an we s'U open into a great,
broad river soon, where you can't see
both banks at once. An there bain't
any o' these yere mists on It, he says,
but Ummlns on the trees an other fruits
enough to feast an army, an all for the
plucking of them."
"Go to the forecastle and tell them
that, Job," cried Alec, "and serve out
a good, stiff dram to all hands and say
that they can kill the stench by firing
a few grains of powder now and then.
Stay; I'll come with you and tell them '
that he who keeps a stout heart may I
laugh at fevers. They only attack cowards."

"In tho winter of 1898 and 1899 I
was taken down with a severe attack
ot what is called La Grippe" says F.
L. Hewctt, a prominent druggist of
NVinfield, 111. "The only medicine I
used was two bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It broke up th9 cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,
and I have never siuce been troubled
with Grippe." Chamberlain's Cough
