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.”

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.

One man was making unkind re
marks about his mother-in-law, ar.d

After a while he put in his oar.

“Yes, so did I, at first, and I talked

to look to her as their best friend;
the one to shield them when they

in If bt's Indian bible, and is found
in Mark’s gospel, first chapter and
fortieth verse, and according to that
means “kneeling down to Him.” If
