owolcd is to bd conaldorcd a thing
not particularly hazirdoua to onu'a
ifo. Francla Oliver , the peraon re-
erred to , waa born in Detroit , Mioti , ,
the 8th of November , 1838. lie
ommoncod life aa a pallor boy on the
akoa , and In 1855 wont to oca before
ho mast. In 1860 ho sailed from
jondon in the British ship Lauderdale -
dale for Hong Kong. At thu latter
port ho loft the Liudordalo and on-
od In the Ohlnoso coast trade , firat
an master of a small vessel , and after
ward an master and owner of a trad-
ng echooncr or lorclm. Ilia trade
was mainly between Hong Konc and
Shanghai. Ho waa vary eucceasful ,
and aa the cimom houao oi&sora at
.lioso ports were only human , lui
irofita were largo. Oapt. Oliver mul
tiplied hia Vfcsolu until at ono time ho
owned fourteen , all coasters. The
Ohlncso Boas at that tlmo awarmod
with pirates , nnd it was necessary to
bo Veil armed for protection ogiinat
thoao maraudcra of the hi.qh aeaa.
Sr\rc3ly a voyage wai accomplished
without encountering ono or more of
them until , aa O.tpt. Oliver raid to u
OU1 reporter yesterday , it got to bd a
sort of pastime with him , Said the
captain : ' I was no BO well armed th&t
I knorr the piratoi could ntand no
aho.v wilh mo , and wlienovcr I naw a
pinticnl junk 1 ulwayu went for it ,
nad made cloiiti work.1

away frrm nort I dirootod my courno
for * lho Nirt'.ern Inhride. When
nbonl 0 mlloa from Shanghai I aaw a
jank which I know at once from ccr
tain Indications M bu a pirate , bhu
bore d'Jim upon aa until I could b'-o
at her fore and main-mast headi the
arrangements alwsy.i carried by these
predatory vi l tns for throwing barn
Ing 'atit k-pots' down on the docka of
thtlr onomloa. The junk wan foot
times ai largo ai the Itoao , my lorchu ,
and BWarraud with the plratea , Tht
Iloao wan headed right for thorn. 1
aupposu they thougnt they had a euro
thing of mo. I had olght cannons on
board , besides rides , boarding plket
and oatlaarea snlliclent for all pur-
poeoa , My mate wai an Eugllshman.
I had also two quartermasters and a
crow of fifteen Ohinamon. The China
men liked mo , and would have given
their llvoa for roo. Aa wo drew near
to the junk I observed ono of her men
go up to the atlntc pota at the main-
maat head , and another to thoao on
the foremast. I gave my nmto ono
rlllu and I took another. I oaid to the
mate , 'Now , as soon aa you coo that
follow light a fuse , lire , and don't ' inies
him. ' The mate , for aomo eoaaon ,
manifested a diapoaltion not to fijht.
I told him ho could take his choica ,
cither do as I told him or go below in
Irons. Ha promised to obey ordora.
I told him to take the man on the
mainmoat , and If ho missed him that I'
would blow hla brainn out. A VARUO
Du.iplcion had crept into my mind that
ho meant treachery ; but ho kept hla
promiqo. I looked out for the man on
the pirato'a foremast. The epnco between -
tweon the two vi'Bseo gradu lly ion-
toned. At length I obuurvod.hnt I
had boon watching for a little fl ish
of fire , and u thin line of blue umoko
curl away from the follow at the mast-
head. 1 know that in another moment
a burning atink-pot would bo on oar
Icck unions wo made euro nail and
[ uick work. I give the word , and wo
ired almoat nlmultaneously. Both of
.ho pirates foil to the dock of the junk ,
and the stlnk-pota they had ignited
with them. The Koto was to the
windward of the junk. I put my
lohn hard down , got cloeo alongside ,
and fastened to her with grappling
looks.
AT CLOHIi CJUAUTK11H.
The pirates made a raah to board
my lorcha. They were armed with
peers or apikco. About lilty of
crowded upon mo nnd a opeor
.vas drlvon through my body , ontor-
ng my left side below the ribs , and
coming out on the right aido. It was
Irawn out , but I immediately bocnmo
slble. My imn : thought 1 waa
, but kept tip the light , for it was
mitttor of lifn and death with them
alao. The junk hnd caught fire from
, ho burning ntink-pots that foil from
iloft. The Hone ca f. elf the grappling
lookn and got away from the junk ,
standing elf a nufliciont distance to
eco her burn and io down. Every
mo of the infernal cro r wau killed or
drowned. When it was found that I
till had hfo in mo I wan carried bo
low. The mate took the HOBO back lo
Shanghai , where I received medical
uul , I wai unconscious or dulirous
fur thri.o inonthu , but at last eulli-
cicntly n.covtrod to lu ubout , thonyh
1 could never do any aativit bneincas
1 BUfl'orod intensely ut timer , nnd thu
functions of nature were rnapcuded
Kr wools at a tinuMy nulFurlnna

to cat mo open and BOO if they could

They told ma that it would bu lUmojt

would die anyhow , co there would l > o
really no risk in perf-jrinlng the opcr

abdmieu nnd aldo loi' ' st hall way

intcnlfno and vrailiod them and aldu
washed tha Iniorlor walls of my body.
They aaw my kldneya ; in fact , I wan
cotnplctoly dlsombowled. After
washing the Intestines they were re
placed and the Incision waa Bowed up ,
leaving only u aperture In my left
aide , just whore the pirate's spoor en
tered. Through this operation nature
has over performed her functions. I
Buffer much from it , and It is n great
inconvenience , but I cannot help it.
The doctors looked upon my recovery
as marvellous. It has boon now
olovcn yearn elnco the operation waa
performed. "
To all oztornal appearance ho in per

quarter inches in height. At the tlmo

now weighs between 135 and 140
