It waB well understood what would bo the fate of any one who was in the immediate neighborhood If such an explosion occurred.

Clark was then captain ol a steamboat on the Hudson River, running from Troy to New York. After one of his trips down the river he suggested to his employers that he W'as ready to carry the explosive from New Jersey to Hell Gate. The boat owners were aghast.

But Captain Clark said he could do it, and the owners, relying on his past record for steadfastness and care, told him to go ahead.

He resented the treatment and remonstrated with the driver.

The latter used some very improper language, and then he goc ahead of the sheriff, opened up the exhaust, drove exesperatingly slow and forced dust and oil in the faces of Sheriff and Mrs. Piatt. Then the sheriff announced that he would arrest the objectionable driver, so the latter put on speed of about fifty miles an hour with the sheriff after him. Sheriff Piatt said he drove as fast as he Elaborate plans have heen an East Indian swellflah, very rare now, and particularly so in this part of the world.
