Rear Admiral Brownaon. When he was . a midshipman in the old Mohegan, on the Pacific station, he had a brush with a gang of pirates that was quite aa ex citing and sensational as any. chapter In yellow fiction. The Mohegan was cruis ing near Maatlan, Mexloo, when the cltisens of that port appealed to Cap : tain Lowe, her commander, for protec- - tlon against a freebooter who waa kill . Ing Innocent cltisens, looting unprotect ed towns and committing depredations all along the coast 1 ; V Lowe promised to look after the pi rates, and soon located them somewhere In an almost Inaccessible cluster of la goons. When Captain Lowe discovered the . snug harbor of the pirates he de tailed . Midshipman ' Brownson, with a boat's crew, to hunt them down. When Brownson reached their refuge the pi rate schooner appeared to be deserted. She looked aa if ahe had been abandoned, but the moment the Tankee sailors clam- - bered Over the side of the . vessel tney were attacked by a volley from the limbs of the trees and other dense vege- - tatlon around them. The pirates, find' Ing that they were pursued, had ar . ranged an ambush and climbed the trees where they could command the deck of their schooner. . outlaws Marooned. Realising he could not capture the culprits under such a disadvantage. Brownson conceived a plan that was equally effective and much aafer. He ordered his men below decks to escape the galling fire that waa pouring down upon them, and in a few momenta start ed a doxeri or more fires in the hold of . the vessel. As soon as they were fairly ablase Jie gathered . up : his dead and wounded, hurried them Into hia boat and got away from the scene aa rapidly aa possible. - Before he was out of hear ing the vessel waa a mass of flames and the pirates were marooned in the swamp witnout ammunition or rood. All their auppllea and the booty they had brought away from their looting expedltlona were consumed with the ship, and the local authorities were able to capture ; or kin ail or them.
