the turbena lna one ot the latest developments in use in the steam turbine as applied to vessels the results of the inspection will be made known in detail in a report on the subject of turbine power which the board will prepare but it may be said the performance of the turbine was regarded as highly satisfactory in the complete absence of vibration and la tho comfort of tho crew furthermore almost no more are necessary to the engines there being no friction except in a few bearings there is no pounding and thudding of engines nothing but a bolt rush ot steam through the pipes 60 that

drogs forward the completion of the plans for the installation of turbines on the new warships the turbena was built in great britain and originally was intended only tor short runs but she crossed abo atlantic without stop under her own steam and sailing up the st lawrence baa since engaged in regular traffic on the great lakes burglary by order of the kins when the late of samoa was experiencing his first trouble with germany and the agents ol 01 thai power stirring his subjects to rebellion he was extremely anxious to thoroughly arm his forces and cope with the rebels who it was well known were being secretly supplied with arms and am by a hamburg house choso whoso headquarters were in abia apia this was in direct violation of tho agreement entered into by the consular representatives of england germany the united states and france that no subjects of those nationalities residing in samoa should sell arms or to malietha Malie toa and his followers or to the rebel party the latter were dally increasing in strength and boasted that before long they would capture and loot abia apia and kill all europeans who favored lalle toa matters were in a very critical state when there one day sailed rato abia apia harbor a of tons named the venus and in less than an hour the news spread like wildfire that she had on board some thousands of snider rifles and some hundreds of winchesters Win chesters together with an am pie supply of ammunition and ere long the vessel was surrounded by canoes literally packed together and her decks filled with many hundreds of excited natives all eager to buy tana tatala manava rifles but the consuls had been before them and had warned the master and super cargo of the venus that it a single rifle was sold they would seize the ves sel and detain her she being a british ship until the arrival of an english ship of war the supercargo who was a nice pleasant spoken young man frankly admitted that it was a great and unexpected disappointment to him not to be able to dispose of the arms as he would now have to carry them about over the pacific tor another three or four months as the ship was bound on a long trading voyage throughout the gilbert marshall and caroline groups and then finally take them back to sydney and then I 1 shall get into hot water with the owners he said ruefully as I 1 dont suppose I 1 shall be able to sell more than a hundred or so of the guns in the gilberts and marchalls marshalls Mar then he asked the consuls it they would be so good as to clear the ship of the natives if you wont let me sell my guns gentlemen you can at least save me the annoyance of having the vessels deck filled with natives besides that it Is sunday and im going ashore to church the consuls stared tor the young gentleman had formerly resided for some years in samoa and had by no means achieved distinction tor his religious tendencies which were absolutely nil 1 I think said the german consul who was a very wily and astute per conage that the best thing would be for a guard of the municipal police to remain on board until you sail just the very thing herr weber said mr supercargo effusively and orders were sent on shore for the police boat to come off and the german con sul felt satisfied malietha Malie toa would get no arms from the venus at any rate 1 I must mention that the and american resident merchants were strongly in favor of king malietha Malie toa and had they dared would have supplied him with all the arms he wanted athla matter arranged the consuls inquired what other cargo the venus had under hatches and were all delighted to learn that the bulk of it was provisions for the town waa very short of european food and the white men and their families had been without such necessary articles aa flour sugar beer and whisky tor two months this was owing to a large german ship named the anna which was loaded with stores having been lost on the voyage from sydney to abia apia they all at once begged the supercargo to quote his prices he shook his acad and smiled almost sadly no no gentlemen you must give me a chance with my provisions wont with the guns I 1 must first find out tomorrow how prices are going on shore and then we can talk business but not today ive made a rule of late not to do business of any kind on sundays the consuls retired feeling somewhat annoyed still they could not blame the pleasant mannered gentleman for looking after his own interests however he was thoughtful enough to give them a couple of basea of beer a case of whisky and some delicacies from the cabin stores to take ashore with them then after they had gone ho sat down and wrote a note in samoan to his majesty king malietha Malie toa making an appall ment with him and his chiefs al a little bush village named jagla manono at 8 that evening at 1030 he attended service in the little mission church on Vald gago creek and an hour after he was strolling down to matafele the german quarter of the town to lunch at the hotel there when a little native girl overlook and walked past him and quietly slipped a note in his hand late that night he returned on board the venus the captain was awaiting him well inquired the worthy marine anxiously oh its all right malletta Malle toa has pounds in english and american gold I 1 saw and counted it and he and bla chiefa havo given me their signed bond to pay the balance of pounds in twelve months whether they come out on top or not then he turned in at 3 in the afternoon he met the consuls and several of the leading storekeepers by appointment at the british consulate and at once proceeded to business now gentlemen I 1 have an offer to make ill put it in as few words aa possible you are all very hard up for and I 1 have a shipload beell you the lot or aa much as you want at the usual 50 per cent on sydney invoice price instead of asking you which im pretty well sure you would rather pay than go another month or two without european food 1 but ill do this on one conditions only what IB it that you and he looked at the consuls will allow ms to land those confounded arma and cartridges of mine and take charge of them until I 1 return from the northwest I 1 dont want to have to cart them about the north pacific for three months or more when I 1 want every available inch of space for stowing copra and pearl hll and I 1 dont want to laate almo by calling her eav thorn on my way back but our otner the susannah booth will ba here in a few weeks and you can havo them patt on board her and bhe can take them back to sydney and ill pay to the municipal funds tor storage but not a cent more there was a brief consultation every one oven herr weber was in favor of the suggestion and so an hour later the cases ot
