FORGOT HER TONGUE.
MARIA LIVED ALONE FOR
TWENTY YEARS.
Hut Civilization Killed Her—Ulrd In
l.m Than Three Mouth*. After Bein';
Taken to Manila Barbara—Her Itrmark
able Ureas of Feather*.
About seventy miles off the coast of
Southern California lies the island
of San Nicolas—a veritable desert,
wind-swept to ouch a degree that one
might well imagine that the furies are
guarding the Island, says the Scien
tific American. San Nicolas, which is
twelve miles long and four or five
wide, has no harbors, the anchorage
being merely a lee under the low hills,
the fact that the wind blows directly
off-shore making It poci.lble for vessels
to anchor here at certain seasons. On
this Island, which has been the cen
tral point of a romance and tragedy
of much interest, deserted and alone,
Maria Better-Than-Nothing, the wild
womaii of San Nicolas, lived twenty
years—long enough to forget her peo
ple and even her language. The story
told by Prof. C. F. Holder is no fol
lows: “'For centuries the island was
inhabited by a race of hardy mariners
who have left their monuments in
large shell heaps and mounds that
cover many acres. I^css than 100 years
ago the Franciscan fathers determined
to take the natives away from the in
hospitable island and provide them
with homes around the various mis
sions, where they could also he com
fortably converted. With this object
In view a vessel was sent to the island,
and after much difficulty the Indians,
now reduced to about 100, were col
lected, and taken aboard, deserting
thousands of implements which their
ancestors had used for centuries.
When the vessel was about to sail one
of the women discovered that her
child had been left behind. But it was
blowing a gale and the vessel could
not hold, so the captain sailed away,
whereupon the frantic mother dashed
into the sea and swam back to shore,
making her way successfully through
the surf. The captain of the vessel
premised to return for the woman, but
soon after his vessel wad wrecked and
no attempt was made to rescue the
poor Indian woman until twenty years
after, when a priest determined to
make an effort to learn whether she
was alive. He enlisted the services of
an otter hunter and several Indians,
who, In a small schooner known as the
Better-Than-N'othing, set sail for San
Nicolas. They landed on the island
and very soon found evidence that
some one was living there, but avoid
ing them. To make the search perfect
the men formed a line across the
inland at certain distances apart,
which resulted in the discovery of the
wild woman. She was sitting by a
brush hut in a canyon, about which
was a windbreak of whalebones and
various material. She smiled and
spoke to the Indians In a language
they did not understand, but they fell
on their faces before her aa though to
worship her. She offered them food
and readily consented to go with them
and was taken aboard the schooner
with a tame otter. She was dressed In
the skins of birds, over which was a
garment of sealskin. She was named
Better-Than-Nothlng, after the vessel,
and by signs succeeded in telling some
Indians on the mainland something of
her history. At first she had mourned
the loss of her friends, then the dogs
killed her baby and she wished to die
and was sick for a long time. She
was taken to Santa Barbara, where In
dians from all about were brought to
her to see if they could understand her
language, but without avail. She lived
with different families at Santa Bar
bara, but civilization proved disas
trous to her and In leas than three
months she died. Her remarkable
dress of feathers was sent to Rome as
a curiosity, and the remains of the un
fortunate woman found a resting
place in the sanctified ground of the
mission. San Nicolas has proved a
veritable treasure house for the
archaeologist, and tons of stone im
plements have been taken from va
rious mounds on the island. One of
the most remarkable shell mounds in
the world Is found here, being. It la
said, nearly a mile long and ten feet in
average height.”
