"What's the answer I'll be the goat" replied Burns, thinking his questions was "kidding him" - ' ... "Well, thaPs GusQMartin, i that's whQ it is," came the reply in a tone so sincere that it made the officer gasp. Burns hurried till he caught .up with ihe slouching figure and was about tc; laugh.

'After I ; ran 'away ' from that place (meaning the blacksmith shop owned by his father-in-law, John Leonard, I went straight to Hudson County Park) This coincides with the facts, as the park was the last place Martin had been seen.

The Emden was destroyed in the Bay of Bengal by the Australian cruis ser Sydney, She was driven ashore on an island of the Coco group. The Sydney sighted the Emden yesterday morning.

Tokio, Nov. 10. The German cruiser Emden, pursued by the Aus tralian cruiser Sydney, has been beached on one of the Cocos Islands, according to reports reching Tokio. The captain and most of the crew of the Emden were saved. Previous to the engagempnt with the Sydney the Emden cut the Brit ish r-ible connecting the Cocos Islands with the outside world. The captain of the British steamer Exford, captured by the Edmen in the Indian Ocean, reported to his owners that the commander of the Emden said that before he sank the Exford i he intendedt to take on board his cruiser the 7,000 tons of steam coal with which the Exford was laden. The first report of the activity of the Emden was received August 6 when she was said to have been sunk in ' action with the Russian cruiser. Within three days she had sunk" our vessels. She was accom panied by the Hamburg-American steamer Markomannia ' as a collier The Markomannia was sunk on Oct ober 16.- off Sumatra by a British cruiser. Leaving the bay of Bengal the Em den sank three British vessels in the Indian Ocean on September 14. On September 22 she appeared off Madras and shelled the city, extin guishing her lights and disappearing when, the forts replied. Then she renewed her activity in the vicinity of Rangoon, where more British ves sels fell prey to her. Again she dis appeared and was not heard from until she turned up at Penang. The captain' of the steamer Parom put into Syndey, N. S. W., yesterday and reported that after the success of the Edmen at Penang she was overtaken by a British cruiser, but being a faster ship was able to escape-.- Two store ships, accompanying her were left behind and - the British cruiser captured one and sank the other. w The Emden was a sister ship of the . cruiser Dresden . which partici pated in the naval battle off the coast of Chille, November 1,-' when the Brit ish squadron, under commander ot Rear Admiral. Sir, Christopher Cra- dock was defeated. ' The Australian," cruiser Sydney carries a- main battery of eight 6-inch guns 1 against the r Emden's ten 4.1, thus - giving her a decided advantage over- the German ship. ; While " the the speed of the two warships was the- dretorically equal, that of, the Emden being 24.5 knots,' as against -the Syd ney's 24.7, the former probably was foul and t her , engines badly, racked from the three months of almost , con stant cruising in ; southern waters chasing and being chased and -with no port for refitting;or repairs,!
