The crew tbat Nicbolaa Colepepper and Dr. Tring got together for tbe ex- pedition to raise the foandered galleon came about in this wise: Pint there wan Alan Outline, a yoong Oxford student, who bad been "plucked" on bis examinations. WHS heavily in debt and bad been discarded by bia father. On tbe day of bia dis- mimtal be waa standing on tbe beach of Weston-auper-Mare pondering on bii future and reluctantly came to a de- cision to accept the queen's shilling and go for a aoldier. Before seeking the re- cruiting aergeant be reaolved to have a bath. So polling off bia clotbea he waded into tbe ocean, and when ovel his depth began to swim. As he awam a curiona fancy took poaaeaaion of him that be had only to go on swimming and bis fortune wonld come open armed to meet him. Giving way to tbe fancy he swam on, bat presently tbe water grew colder, and. turning, he noticed what a very long way it aecmed to tbt beach. Be polled on. bat made nc headway. His heart aank; be waa be- ing carried out to aea. Still be strug- gled, bnt at last, overcome, witb a de- spairing cry, he fought tbe water* tbat were mastering him. Now, Dr. Tring and Captain Colepep- per bad chartered a vessel to take them where tbe treasure lay and bad lit ted it with various ingeniona enginea of Dr Tring'a invention for coping with tht enormous difficulties of a dive which would be far bigger than anything any one bad as yet dreamed cf. bdt they had got no farther than Bideford before their crew, learning of the pur- poae of tbe expedition, mutinied to a man, and tbe order waa given to 'boat ship for Bristol, where the crew left in a body. Dr. Tring and Captain Cole- pepper, having cooled from their diaap- pointuient. were ont for a row with fid- dle and Hate practicing dnets and heard Alan Outline's cry Palling in tbe di- rection from which it proceeded, they foand him about to aink and banlad him aboard n noon scions. Aa soon aa ba cametobirnttelf and learned of their in- tended expedition they foand no diffi- culty in enrolling him aa their firat re- crnit. Then tbe captain'a daughter. Dolly, took it into her head tbat abe most go on tbe expedition, hat met with a flat ref ueal from her father. Both Dr. Tring and Alan Unthrie pleaded in her behalf, bat tbe cuptain wu.i obdurate, avowing that they mast not b hampered with women. One morning tbe captain, the doc- tor and the first recruit were aitting in tbe captain'a room at Bristol, mnoking and wondering where more men, reck- leaa enough to embark witb them, were to couie from. An organ grinder had taken np bia position in front of tbe window and waa commencing to grind out "Tim Lait R<me of Summer" at a pace ao funereal that the homely old tane Bounded aa tboagb it were a dirge, and bad the three men been fanclfnl they might have taken tbia diurnal wail as an oiuinoua commentary on tht doctor's last worda. It may be, perhaps, tbat some such thought did occur to Dr Tring. Anyway, his distrmw was acnte. Tbe man dawdled slowly through tbe "Rone," and then ntarted another tane.. and this time he elected to add bia own voice to tbe other torture: 'Km hi (bear 'nlk !! por Taa How ow ling.

"Steady, doctor; liaten a bit," aaid Captain IVlcprpper, getting np from bis cliair and going toward the window "Thin fellow's pi|>e eeerna familiar to me somehow or other.
