waa at Capo Town on year when th

large floating -drydock. Aa old ceme
tery waa condemned and a contract let
for removing it. Th contractor took
tha Job at a low -figure and naturally
waated to get through with It just as
quickly and cheaply as possible. He
went to a number of tha sea captalne
who were In port and made arrange-
menta to eupply ballast for their ships
from material excavated from tha ceme
tery.' Aa ballast at Cape Town la hard
to procure and '- the contractor made
them a liberal offer his terms were
soon accepted. So every vessel which
raft there for tha next month carried
sand, gravel and human skeletons.
Bones from that graveyard soon were
distributed alLovrth world.- Many
were taken to New-York en a numbet
of the square-riggers , When the steve
