chains stood the strain. We piled sail
on the brig, but for ten minutes she
heaved and tugged and was held fast.
Something had to give as the breeze
freshened, and, to our great Joy, the
hulk was pulled out of her sandy bed
and towed along the bottom behind us.
We got her into thirty feet of water
and within two cable's length of the
beach and anchored The pearl

must have been in collision with an-

What we wanted to get our find on
the beach was a breeze from the north-
west. It came after nearly a week of
waiting, and the combined efforts of
wind, current and tide brought the
old hulk in high She was
one of the most curious sights a sailor
ever clapped eyes on. From stem to
tern she was a solid mass of shells.
She was about ninety feet long, and
when we came to dig down to the
wood we found it almost as hard as
Iron. She had been rigged with two
masts, the stumps of which stood up
eight feet high. A few feet of

rest of the deck bad been swept clean.
Our grapnels had caught In the hole

have caught all owing to the solid
layer of shells.
If we had been supplied with powder
we should have blown her up, but as

mud and sand, but we did not remove ,
much of it until we bad cleared the
outside. After she had lain in the hot
for three or four days she began
to dry out, the work of digging off
the shells was much easier. There
were six distinct

tom one we found three Arabian

and a couple of axes.
The divers given it us their

It had sent her to the bottom us quick
as if she had been run Into by u thou-
sand ton ship. During the week we
were freeing the hulk from her shell ;
armor a close watch was kept on
the beach, and we picked up coins to
the value of about American
money. Some of these were Arabian
and some Persian.
When we bad entirely cleared the i
decks we found the craft had only one
hatchway, and that was amidships.
We enlarged this and then rigged up a
windlass and bucket to empty her as
dirt is taken from a well. Every buck-
was carefully Inspected as soon
as dumped, but we found nothing more
valuable than shells until well down to
her keel. We couldn't make out what
of cargo she carried until the
els began to throw out human bones
long with the sand. With the bones
came iron and other outfit-
tings of a slaver, and by by we got
down fur enough to that she had
been fitted for a deck and thus
enabled to carry a double tier of slaves
In a hold only six feet deep. We dug
out of her old bones enough to account
for at least fifty persons, and a
who afterward examined some of
them said they belonged to men and
women of the race. In the fore-
castle we found nothing except a
of gun barrels and two earthen
bowls, but In the cabin we had better
luck.
In the last dirt we took out we found
coins to the value of These were
scattered about on the floor. Many had
worked out and come ashore, and
many were doubtless burled Id the

Six months later when we told our
story at Cape Town we were referred
to history to prove that the dhow had
been fired on and sunk by H. M. S.
Sovereign while forming one of the
fleet to suppress the slave trade. The
dhow had loaded part of a cargo of
laves on the Mozambique coast when
driven off and pursued by the man-of-

days, and the dhow bad finally thought
