How Lost! How Regained
It is one of those tales that illustrate
v.o motinum this rruel ace. The
pirate had long been the scourge of the
honest Venetian traders. Sometimes
they would disguise themselves as mer
chantmen trading peacefully to Candia
for wine, and then throwing off their
disguises, would prey upon all around
them. Mo mercy wan enown in iun
fearful contests. Between the sea rob
liers and the merchants there was a
lasting and deadly hostility. It was to
the pirate class that the Columbi be-
longed, and of all tne corsairs oi me
day they were the most renowned. The
elder Columbus had apparently lain in
wait in vain for tne ncn neei mai aueu
pparlv to the north. ' But he had a son,
known as Columbus Junior, who fol
lowed the same profession ana wnose
true name was Nicolo Griego, or Nich
olas the Greek. He at last succeeded in
the project which his father had so long
essayed in vain. The prize was a temp v
ing one to the bold buccaneers. The
Flanders galleys with their freight were

RViaVftRneare's unreal picture: it is plain
that the merchants of Venice were the

Anotnt the expedition. The freight is
to be paid to the state. No deckloads
of tin or pewter ware are aiiowea, no
currants nor molasses are to be stored
in the hold. Two galleys were to go to
London or the English ports, the rest to
Sluys or Bruges. On their passage they
might touch at Malaga and other port
in Spain; on their return a ship was de
tached to trade with the Mohammedans
along the Barbary shore. The Vene
tians were too keen traders not to find
profitable markets even in the lands of
the infidel.
The Columbi or the Griegos were at
last to seize their prize. They watched
with seven -ships powerful, no doubt,
and well equipped off the Spanish coast
to intercept the fleet of Bartolomeo
Minio. The commander of the pirates
was Nicolo Griego, the son, we are told,
of the elder Columbus. His father had
j disappeared from sight. But with him

Columbus boasts of his father's share in
this famous engagement famous be
cause it led to the settlement of Colum
bus at Lisbon, his marriage and his fu
ture exploits.
He was now a man of at least fifty,
hardened by thirty-six years of ceaseless
adventure. What position he held in
the pirate fleet, whether as commander
or seaman, his son does not tell. We
only know that he served under his

The corsairs, or columbi, approacnea
their prey in the evening. They waited
all night on the still Atlantic, and in
the morning rushed upon the Venetians.
It was seven, perhaps eight, ships against

had told his son. on the tranquil sea
the scene, nearly four centuries later, of
the battle of St. Vincent ana ins narra
tive is confirmed by the V enetian ar
chives. The four great galleys under
Bartolomeo Minio defended themselves
with nnfailinir courasre.
From the first to the twentieth hour
they beat off their savage assailants.
The shins crannied with each other and
fought hand to hand. They used, we
are told, artificial fire, and the pirates
fastened their ships to the calleys by
hooks and iron chains. Then, no doubt,
thev boarded and were at last success
fnl. And then Fernando Colon relates
the romantic incident that led, he thinks,
to the discovery of a new world. The
ship in which his father fought was
lashed by chains and hooks to a great
Venetian galley. The Venetians seem
to have set Columbus' ship on fire. The
flames consumed both vessels. The only
resource left to the survivors was to leap
into the sea.

Made Her Left Handed by a Blor.
Thrp vears airo a vouns lady of Fall
River. Mass.. was hit upon the loft side
of her head by a falling sign as she was
walking along a 6treet in lioston. j. ms
was followed by brain fever. Alter
weeks she was as well in mind and
body as ever, but from a right handed
person she had become so left nanaea
that she could neither cut, sew nor write
with her right hand, but found it easy
to do all these things with her left.
Her right hand was just about as useful
as her left had been before she was hurt.
What is strange is that, with 60 recent
a change in the use of her hands, she
never makes an awkward motion and is
as graceful in the use of her left hand as
if she had been born left handed. Bos

A Greedy Mountain Lion's Fate.
Dr. French, a seventy-year-old resi
dent of Alamo, killed a mountain lion
one day last week at the Tule ranch in
the pineries. The lion had crawled into
a pig pen through a small hole, and after
feasting on two shoats was too big to
get out through the hole. Thus he was
an easy prey to the doctor, who gave
him a hypodermic injection of birdshot
in order to see bim perform. He per
formed to the entire satisfaction of his
tormentor. The doctor administered a
44-caliber pill, which put him to sleep.
The animal had immense claws, and
measured six feet from tip to tip. San

A Great Famine Predicted.
A prophet in Athens, Ga., predicts
that the crop yield this year throughout
this country will be the largest ever
known, but that beginning with 1893,
and for two years thereafter, there will
be the greatest famine the world has
ever known. During that time rain
shall cease to fall, and the streams of
the country will all dry up, vegetation
will no longer exist, and all animals
will surely die. At the beginning of the
famine the land will be infested with all
sorts of ve-min, and the living will suf
fer untold tortures.
