The ship made a long and . stubborn resistance, but was Anally captured, and the pirates had suffered heaTy *®sa that in revenge they 'j “iimd everybody to the last child. They then looted the ship and scuttled her and the plunder was subsequently di vided on an island in the China sea. Some people believed this story and some said It was absurd. The general Idea was that the Star foundered at sea dyinff a heavy gale. The dying state ment of the pirate was never fully in vestigated for some reason. So far ae the investigation went it was proved to be a fact. The pirates had lone : been scattered, many were doubtless dead, and the idea of bringing the gang to justice was given up as impossible. In the year 1863 I was one of the crew of the English brlj; Swiftsure, which was making a survey of the islands to the northeast of Madagascar. At the Chagos group, as wo were pull ing into land one day, with seven men in the boat, we were upset in the surf and only two of us escaped death. My companion was a sailor named Wallace and while in a half drowned state we were swept along the coast of the island by a current and finally thrown on shore in a bit of a cove. A boat put off from the brig as coon as the disas ter was noticed, but only two bodies were recovered. The three others were pulled down by the sharks before the boat got to them. Believing this to have been the sad fate of all five no search was made for the pair of ns cant asnore, ana before we had recov ered from our exhaustion and prepared a signal the brig had departed for an other field. The island on which we were cast ic one of a group of nine and the Innermost one of all. It Is likely the same today as then, having plenty of fresh water most of it covered with verdure and wild fruits, shrimps and shellfish so plentiful that a shipwrecked crow of twenty men could get along there for months, Wallace and I were Inclined to look upon the affair as a lark. Wo erected a hut in the woods, procured fire by rubbing two dry sticks together and after a thorough explor ation of our domain, which was not over two miles across in any direction, we slept, ate and talkod and bad a pretty easy time of it. We had been on the island about three months when we awoke one morning to find the sea like a sheet of glass und the air as still as death. The sky was overcast, and yet of a cop pery color, and the birds on the island appeared to be in great alarm. Great flocks of them came in from the sea, and all along shore the flsh were leap ing out of the water as if it were pol luted. After surveying things for a while Wallace gave it as his opinion that we were in for a typhoon or an earthquake. The sulphury smell in the air inclined him to the latter, and as Boon as we had eaten we started for the center of the island. There was a high hill in the center, bare of every thing but a couple of trees and a few bushes, and we sought it on account of the tidal wave we knew would sure ly follow an earthquake. There was more than one shock, but the first was the most violent and last ed longest. The three or four which succeeded were thrills rather than shocks. They ran through the island from east to west and out to sea, and we heard a chorus of what may bo called the shrieks of distress from the birds with each vibration. Two or three minutes after the fourth or fifth shock Wallace stood up and looked out upon the sea to the east and shout cu 10 me: “Look! Look! The tidal wave Is coming In and there’s a big ship on the crest of it.” I sprang up and followed his gaze. Ten miles away there was a wall of water which seemed to lift Its great white crest almost to the sky and to reach north and south as far as I could see. Riding on the crest was a great ship, with her three masts standing erect and some of the yards across. For the first ten seconds the wall seemed to stand still. Then It came rolling on like a railroad train, and al most before I could have counted twen ty it struck the shore of our island and swept across it. The Island was a good thirty feet above water In every part, while on tfco hill we were at least 10c, but all portions save the hill were covered byat least ten feet. I had my eye on the ship alone. It came straight for the hill, but as the wave divided It was swept to the left and struck the earth and was turned full about. While it huug there the waters passed on, and, lo! at our feet, resting almost on a level keel, was as strange a sight as the eyes of a sailor ever beheld. It was a ship, to be sure, but one had to rub his eyes and lcok again and again to be certain of it. There was the great hull •—there th9 three masts, up aloft the yards, and there were scores of ropes trailing nbcut like Bllmy serpents. From stem to stern and from keel to masthead the fabric was covered with mud and slime and barnacle and sea grass and shells, and as she rested there the water poured off her decks and out of her hold in such a sobbing, choking way as to bring the shivers. Not a word had passed between the pair of ua while the wave raced in and across the island, and the ground below us was clear of the last water before Wallace said: I think this ends it, and let us both thank God! This ship was heaved up from the bottom cf the sea, where she must have rested for a good many years, but we'll have to wait a day or two before we investigate.” After a couple of hours, to let the ground dry out a bit, we descended the hill to see what damage had been done. About one-half the trees on the island had been uprooted and carried out to sea, and of our hut not a vestige re mained. There was scarcely a stone as large as a hen’s egg on the island previous to the wave, but now we found that hundreds of rocks had been dis tributed around, while the dead fish were so numerous that we were hours in gathering them up and giving them to the tide to bear away. Two hours after the last shock the sky cleared, the sun came out, and by night the Island was (airly dry In all parti. W« however, gave the ship all next day U get rid o( her water and harden in thi hot sun. You are prepared to hear of course, that she proved to be thi long lost Star of India. We found tha out before wc had been aboard of hei a quarter of an hour, and later on w< had a dozen reasons for believing thai the dying Malay had spoken the truth I tell you that ship war. a queer sight Her ocean bed had been hundreds oi feet deep and the mud covered every thing to the depth of a foot—In some places two or three. Neither one of u; had heard of the Star or her loss, bul we knew this wreck to be that of ar Indiutiinan, and we went at It to cleai away the stuff and get into her. We were a full week doing this, and al every turn we came across evidences to prove the story of the Malay. Three or four of her guns were yet In place, and from the way she had been knocked about by cannon shot it was easy tc figure that she had made a hard fight and suffered great loss of lifo before she gave in. Even before we began work we found the augur holes bored in her bottom to scuttle her. The great cabin and every state room had two feet of mud on the floor, and I may tell you that wc worked hard for four weeks before we got the hulk cleaned out. In the mud and among the mold and rot we found rusty muskets, pistols, swords, pieces of jewelry, cutlery, crockery, glassware and what not, but in actual money we found only 5 sovereigns. A part of the cargo had been wool, but we got nothing whatever of value out of it. Indeed, when our work had been fin ished, we simply had a big hulk rest ing on land a mile from the beach and were only five gold pieces better off than before. The pirates had swept her clean of treasure, plundering the passengers before murdering them, and we did not find in cabin or state room so much as a single bone of hu man anatomy. We made the ship our home for six months end were then taken off by a whaler, and our Btory was the first news received of the long lost ship. The English government sent a man-of-war to the Island to over haul the hulk, and mementoes of her have long been on exhibition In the British museum. Nothing could be more queer than the way we found her or rather the way she was heaved up by the sea to be discovered. From soundings made to the east of the island In 1867-68 it was estimated that the great ship rose from a depth of over 2,000 feet. Nothing but an earth quake could have lifted her from that depth—nothing but a tidal wave held her up and swept her to our feet. HERD OF IRISH BULLS. Soma Mixed Metaphor* Credited to Sona of the Emerald late. A collection of Irish bulls was pub lished recently by a contemporary. Here are some of them, from House hold Words: A certain politician, late ly condemning the government’for its recent policy concerning the income tax, Is reported to have said: “They’ll keep cutting the wool oft the she<jp that lays the golden eggs until they pump it dry.” “The glorious work will never be accomplished until the good ship Temperance shall sail from one end of the land to the other, and with a cry of ‘Victory!’ at each step she takes shall plant her banner in every city, town and village in the united kingdom.” An Irishman, in the midst of a tirade against landlords and capitalists, de clared that "if these men were landed on an uninhabited island thex^wouldn’t be there half an hour befofap*’ they would have their hands In the pobkets of the naked savages." Only a few weeks ago a lecturer at a big meeting gave utterance to the following: "All along the untrodden paths of the future we can see the footprints of an un seen hand.” An orator at one of the university unions bore off the palm of merit when he declared that “the Brit ish lion, whether it is roaming the des erts of India or climbing the forests of Canada, will not .draw in its horns or retire into its shell.” I Thu Prim* Poster f Once upon a time a green cat; Bat under a blue rose-bush devouring a red mouse.

BIG COMET COMING OUR WAY ( A Splendid Traveler Dne to Be Wlthli Homan Vision in 1911. | Halley’s comet Is coming back—thi comet which In the year 1066 shed i cetesilal splendor over the Normal ! conquest and whose terror-inspirini visit was commemorated by the han( of Queen Matilda in the Bayeaui tapestry, says the Providence Journal the comet that in 1456, the year of th< battle of Belgrade, scared the Turk anr Christian alike and was anathematized by a bull from the pope; the cornel whose strange, sclmiter form stil chilled the marrow of the ignorant and superstitious at its latest return in 1835. It is yet far away, but the eye of science sees it, already within the orbit of Neptune, rushing sunward and earthward with constantly increas ing velocity as it falls along the steep curve of its orbit. And a call to arms, a call for preparation, has Just been issued from One of the chief watch towers of astronomy. Prof. Glassnapp announces that the computing bureau established by the Russian Astronom ical society has undertaken the calcu lation of the true path of Halley’s comet with a view to predicting the exact date of the next return. He hopes that astronomers acquainted witn unpublished observations of the comet will communicate the informa tion to the society. After its peri helion the comet was watched retreat ing out into space until May, 1836, when it was finally swallowed from sight. It will be in perihelion again about 1911, but with the great telescopes now in existence, and the greater ones that may then have been constructed, it is probable that the comet will be de tected coming sunward a year or more earlier than that. The fact that the labor of computing the precise time of its return is already about to be gin gives assurance that the next time it will not be a question of how many days, but rather of how many hours, or even minutes, the calculations will be in error. ''BEFO* THE WA.” The Snnsete Then Were Far Blore Beautiful. Southerners who lived in more luxury before the war than they have been able to do since have a very natural way, of dating everything by compar ing every event of the present time to those palmy days “befo’ the wa,” says the Country Gentleman. It is quite un necessary to add that all things suffer by the comparison. It was the custom of the guests at the sanitarium to as semble on the porches Just before sun down, to watch the retiring process of old Sol as he slipped away to bed be hind Mount Pisgah, one of the loftiest peaks of the Blue range. Some of the guests were asserting they could see the gray hairs on the back of the “Rat,” another elevation, so called from its resemblance to that animal. A little patch of fleecy clouds had evidently caught fast on the pines in passing a cliff, and some one said Beancatcher peak was flirting with Beaumont; while the BalBam range, others said, had al ready put on a nightcap of mist, with now and then a blue-black peak pro jecting above the clouds. Otherwise not a cloud was to be seen save a few mackerel scales Just above the western horizon. Just as but half of the sun’s orb was left in view and shadows were rapidly deepening and the last depart ing shafts of sunlight were gliding the domes of the most lofty hills and every one was all but speechless with admira tion at the splendor of the sunset, one woman, a northerner and a newcomer, was able to keep her tongue going. “Oh, I do think,” she was saying to a southern lady, “that it is the most ex quisite sunBet I ever saw; tell me, is it a custom down here for the sun to set like that?” “Oh, that’s nothing,” was the reply; “you should have seen it ‘befo’ the wa’!” SIR JOSEPH LISTER, Humanity's Great Debt to Him—A Her olatlon In Surgery. Sir Joseph Lister acknowledges his supreme indebtedness to Pasteur for the discovery that putrefaction was a fermentation due to microbes, which could not arise de novo from the de composable substance, says Scribner’s. With this as a basis the great surgeon persisted, in the face of much opposi tion, in perfecting a simple antiseptic dressing—that is, one which would de stroy any microbes that could fall on the wound and purify the surgeon's hands and instruments. His success accomplished a veritable revolution in surgery. To select a single instance: The general hospital at Munich had come to such a state of unhealth that fully 80 per cent of all wounds were infected by the poisonous gangrene. A surgeon was sent to England to learn ‘.he new “Listerism,” and after his re :urn not a single case of hospital gan grene appeared in the Munich Kran kenhaus. Many allied dangers were totally destroyed by this gospel of cleanliness, and in addition the suffer ing of patients during necessary opera :ions was vastly relieved, owing to the ] absence of inflammation. The most conservative savants estimate that the lister antiseptic has increased the Held jf remedial surgery twentyfold and :hat the mortality of hazardous opera :ions has been reduced from probably >0 per cent to something like 1 per cent. With antiseptic treatment the skull, sven the viscera, can be safely entered tor operation, and it is literally true :hat modern surgery can without dan ger remove any part of the human erganism which is not itself essential o life.

After a while he put in his oar. “You haven’t any children, have you?” he inquired. “No,” was the reply; “what’s that got” to do with it?” “More than you 11 ever know till you have some.” • “I fail to see it.” “Yes, so did I, at first, and I talked just as you do. Then, when the youngsters came and began to grow up and to learn who grandma was, to look to her as their best friend; the one to shield them when they needed the parental spanking; the one to give them pennies when their parents thought they should not have them: the one who came and watched by them when they were sick; the one who was always good to them; the one grandma of all the world to the innocent, mischievous, all-pervad ing kids, blamed if I didn’t forget utterly that she was my mother-in law, and I got to calling her ‘grand ma,’ just as the little ones did, and thinking about her just as they did, and finally, when the gray-haired old angel went to her rest, I grieved with the children and as sincerely as any of them.
