Pills are a splendid medicine and no
one who is afflicted with kidney
trouble should fail to try them. For
a long time I was annoyed by sharp
pains across my back and sometimes
I had a dull dragging ache through

the cause of the trouble, but finally
deoideed that my kidneys were disor

Kidney Pills. I made up my m hid to
give them a trial and got a box at

A SEA
SECRET
Illustrating the Fact That
Dead Men ~I ell
No Tales
By D. Thome Taylor
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation. 1911.
Ever since the Spauish wnr ,V1,!* :
fought I have kept a secret events that j
occurred at Its Inception, though they
have weighed heavily on my con
science. I hnve refrained from giving
It, partly lest by doing so 1 might be
forced to pay the penalty of crimes 1
was forced to commit and partly from
a dislike to Inflict needless pnlnvon
those who might better never know
how loved ones supposed to have been
lost at sen really perished. And now,
realising that there will come a day
when those most intimately connected
with these unfortunates shall them
selves have passed nway and I he rec
ord be rend only by another generation,
I have decided to put It In writing to
ease my conscience and that It uiuy t>e
perused by those whom it may con
cern.
At the end of the last century 1 was
engineer on the Mary Diane, a sinnll
steamer used for bringing Japanese
goods to America, returning loaded
with American supplies to be sold In
the Island empire. On our way home
from one of these trips we touched nt
Singapore.
On leaving Singapore wo_ had got
well away from laud when 1 received
nn order to put on more speed. 1 did
so aud was Jogging along at a pretty
good rate when I got another order to
ran her for all she was worth. I told
the stokers to heave In more coal. !
opened all the drnfts and turned on
all the steam she would bear. At that :
moment the first mate came down the |
Iron steps white as a sheet and told me
that we were pursued by a suspicious i
looking craft, and. (hough she flew the ;
British flag, the captain was sure she
was run by Asiatics. She was a sailer.
Junk built, and since a stiff breeze was
blowing she was making nlnmt as
good headway as we. We were mov
ing against the wind, while the other
was crosslug it thus getting all the
benefit from It that was possible. She |
stood between us and the land so we
couldn't run In. Her object was to
reach a given point as soon as we.
What we should have done was to
turu back as soon as we suspected the
craft, but the captain, not really know
ing she was a pirate, thought we could
pass her and thus save delay. lie
reckoned wrong. The first thing 1
knew of what real danger we were In
was heariug a boom! Then I got an
order from above to shut off steam.
Lookiug out of my porthole. 1 saw
the villainous looking thiug sailing In
a course to head us off. while a lot of
copper colored rascals aboard of her
were raising a skull and crossbones
flag In place of the union Jack of Eng
land. which had been hauled down
Moreover, some masked portholes had
been opened and half a doten small i
guns run out.
It was pinin ro mo luai mi ??? u(>
with ns. Not a soul came down into
the engine room to tell me anything,
but since I could see for myself what
was going on I knew they w. re all
paralyzed with fear. I would not leave
my post, first, because there was noth
ing to be gained by doing so. and. sec
ond. I might at any time receive an j
order.
The pirate passed to a point where
X couldn't see her, but it was not long |
before 1 neard a tramping on deck
that told me we were boarded, ami
down came a couple of swartliy Malays,
who covered me, the one with a re
volver, the other with a cutlass. The
man who covered me with a cutlass
spoke enough English to tell me that
1 was to stay where 1 was and run tho
engine. Two other meu came down,
and one of the first two went on d?ck.
1 knew by his bearing that he was the
commander aud the other was his in
terpreter.
Nothing can Induce me to give an
account of the incidents that occurred
during the next half hour. Thank
heaven I did not witness them. I will
only say that the crew, excepting Jack ;
Coyne and a Swede, Jacobson, who beg
ged to be allowed to Join the pirate
gang, and 1, were fotved to walk the
plank. There were also several pas
sengers, whose names 1 wlli give in a
separate paper, who shared the same
fate.
While our vessel was not much of
a craft, it was far better than that of
our captors, having the advantage of
steam power, and they decided to
scuttle the sailer and usethe steamer.
This they did during the night, which
was coming on, and in the morning
the Mary Blanc was sailing on, to all
outward appearances, as if nothing
had happened. The pirates gave oth
er ships ns wide a berth as possible
tnd when unable to do so kept only
l the two men of our crew whose lives
had been spared on deck.
And so it was that we three white
j men were forced to obey the orders of
some twenty copper colored devils,
: thus enabling them to attract small
boats, murder the occupants and ap
, propriate anything of value found In
fiiem. No ship of any importance was
attacked. When we were spoken by
such Coyne or Jacobson was forced to
run up signals stating that we were
the Mary Plane of New York, home
ward bound, and all was well aboard
The murders we saw committed and
Indirectly helped to commit hannt mo
and will elwaya bannt me. My two
other white companion# fa tntoery ?nd
Iniquity wer* often compelled to do
these things directly. The stain on
my own conscience la that had I re
fused to ruu the eugloe and been ahot
.down for my disobedience of orders
the pirates would have been obliged
to run M*r ashore or abandon ber for
a captured Millar., for there was not. an
engineer among them
Oue afternoon late In June. 1S9S. **e
were cruising o(T the Island of For
mosa. I w** so worn with my con
dition thnt I showed signs of breaking
down Through the Interpreter I ask
ed |<ermlssk>n to tie permitted to go
on deck for freah air. My life being
necessary to iuy masters. their rap^
tn In consented thnt Jncolamn should
i*ome down Into the engine room, and
since there was nothing of lKi|K>rtaii"e
to do there 1 should go up. belug
ready for a call from l>elow If my
services were needed.
We were steaming along north wan 1
at about sis knots when I aaw <rti the
horizon a faint line that looked tike
smoke. There were hut few of the
pirates on deck, most of tbem being
lielow drinking liquor that had lieen
chptured the day before. Those on
deck had lieen drinking, hut were eon
aldered able to keep watch over the
white memlieni of the crew. Hnt they
were not sufficiently tn control of their
facultlea to notice the line of smoke
on the horizon of they would have
called their captain's attention to It.
Meanwhile there ap|>cared under the
smoke certain black dot*. They were
nearly equidistant, and over each I
could soon distinguish a thin film lead
lng ro the clond above. The dots
grew larger, nyd It was evident thnt '
we and they were drawing nearer to
get her.
Glancing aside. I saw Coyne, who
was busy over some cordage, standing
looking at what had arrested my at
tention. We dared not speak to each
other, but he cast a meaning glance
at mc. Then 1 looked about at the
Malaya. One wns sitting on the deck
with his back against the gunwale,
another was dozing In a hammock,
while a third was walking about tin
steadily.
1 pave Coyne a mennlng look, com
bined first of A glanop at what was
approaching, second of one at tbe Ma
laya ami third nt a companion way.
"unt all this was meant to convey
was n iiiKKPHtlon that steamers were
approaching that we might overpow
er the three pirates, close the compan
ion way and signal for assistance.
<.oyne. who was desperate, nnderstood

I hat qe was eager for the attempt. i
Kealizing that we would need Jacob
son. I went down Into the engine
room, where he was without guard,
and told him of our plan. | *iso
"greed with him that he should come
up as near as possible to the deck
"Ithout Mng seen and be ready to 1

while Coyne and I were oterpoweflng t
two of tbe Malay*. Just how we wore
to do this must depend opon clreum- <
stances. Coyne was a powerful f?i. ,

cobson was small, but wiry. 1
By this time the coming ships wer> '

fleet of Admiral Dewey, which bad

the deck ana try to throw hlni over

his hammock till Coyne- could come
and dispose of him. Jac-ol?on was to I

Coyne and I both walked toward the >

be hanged for piracy with the other* !

may save our necks by doing so."
Since 1 was the only skilled man of

my suggestion. The pirates were eon

snip, having no access to the other
parts, while we bad free descent to the

I shrink from giving tbe last part of
the Story, which was inspired partlr
by vengeance and partly with the
knowledge that dead men tell no tales.

match to our kindling, we went down
