DRIFTING FOR TWO YEARS.
The Slory nfOnc of the Most IlomnrU-
nll ( ; VOJHKCS liver 31 ride.
Captain J. N. Armstrong , now in com
mand of the bark Kalaknua , loading
lumber nt Port Ulakely for the west
coast of South America , was in Seattle
yesterday. rnptnin'Artmtrong , says the
Seattle ( W. T. ) Po t-lntelligeiicer , will
bo remembered as the commander who
brought the ship Templar from Now
York to San Francisco a few years ago on
one of tlio most remarkable passages on
rcrord After being out for some time
the captain went into a foreign port and
for some reasons his crew , excepting the
ollicors , left. Filially two English .ships
came in , and from them Captain Arm
strong made up a new crow , and afler
being out forty days the entire crow , in
cluding tlio captain and his daughter ,
were taken down with yi-llowfoviT. The
first mate died and several of llio sailors.
Those who had the dipcaso less violent
throw the dead overboard one by om-ithe
ship drifted about without pilot or na\i-
gator for more Hum a year. The captain
tor two years was so violent from the
ravages ot the fever that ho had to bo
churned to the deck to keep him from
jumping overboard. He wears the dears
from the chains and lashings to this day.
During the vcar that the ship drifted
about the second mate nnd three or four
of the sailors recovered , but being out of
sight of land and not understanding
navigation , they \vero powerless to do
anything with the ship. Finally the
daughter regained her reason , but nether
her strength , ( Jno day she sent for the
second mate and asked him to carry her
on deck , which ho did. She then seat
for heir fathor's , instruments , and by the
aid of this and her knowledge of naviga
tion she figured out the location of the
vessel. She then took the charts from
the cabin nnd traced out a route to San
Fraueifcco. She then practically took
command of the vessel and ordered the
second mate and surviving members of
the crow to make sail , ami gave them the
direction in which to sail. Every day
for months she would bo carried on deck
to take the sun and give her orders.
Days and weeks pushed and the ship
continued on her journey , lieiny so light-
handed the vessel could not bo properly
handled , and could carry but llttlo sail ,
consequently her progress was blow.
After many weaiy , dreary months the
captain rogaim d his reason , and when ho
learned of what his daughter had done
ho was greatly surprised and declared
that , had he been placed in tlio same
position , lie could not have done better.
The ship was loaded with general mer
chandise , tlio cargo being insured forever
over s ' 00,000. The lonp ; absence of the
ship and no tidings from her led the
owners and all Interested parties to believe -
liovo that she , with all hands on board ,
had been lost. Imagine their surprise ,
after the supposed fate of the ship had
almost passed from their minds , when
one bright dav in the summer llio ship
Templar , with her cargo all intact , came
sailing into San Francisco bay.
Modest Don Cameron.

Don Canie'ron of i'cnnsylvaniii write his
name in a hotel register lie invariably
puts a dash in front of it thus :
J. 1) . CAMKKON.
The dash is very long , and begins where
the page of the book is fastened in its
| ) lace. If the register is a very wide
book the eccentric dasli of the Pennsyl
vania senator is supplemented by an
allix :
J. D. CAMKKON.
AVhonovcr he writes his name on tlio
Fifth Avenue Hotel rejrister , which is a
wide book , he uses the double dash. A
gentleman gives this explanation :
"I have lived in Washington , known
Senator Cameron \\oll , and the reason he
uses a dash before his name. He never
uses the dash except on a hotel register.
At tlio capital nearly every man has a
handle to his name. When : i senator or
Dfonoral registers at a hotel , the clurk po-
litel.y adds the prefixwhatever it may be ,
and it appears that General So-and-so lias
deliberately written his entitle. Senator
Cameron , instead of being a vain man ,
is very modest and unassuming. The pn-
lito clerks put the prefix Senator to his
name frequently on the registers , which
\yas exceedingly repugnant to him. His
simple request to leave off all appendages
to Ins signature did not have the desired
effect , anil ho hit upon the happy idea of
the dash to Keep anything from being
written in front of his namo. The front
dash worked for a time on narrow
registers , but finally the ingenious clerk
wrote the word 'Senator' alter his name.
This required double vigilance , so the re
tiring and genial senator added the allix
dash. "
Senator Colliding nml Senator Hrueo
A Knbulco to Senator Alcorn.
Boston Herald : Ex-Senator 15ruco of
Mississippi says ho is going to prepare a
lecture on his experience in the senate.
"lly the way , " ho continued , "did you
over know the secret of mv admiration
for Koscoo Conkungy When I came up
to the senate 1 know no one ' 'except
Senator Alcorn , who was my colleague.
When the names of the now senators
were culled out for them to go up and
take the oath , all the others except my
self wore escorted by their colleagues.
Mr. Alcorn made no motion to escort mo.
but was buried behind a newspaper , and
I concluded I would go it alono. I had
got about half way up the aisle when a
tall gentleman stopped up to mo and
said ;
" 'Excuse mo Mr. Bruce , I did not un
til this moment see that you were with
out an escort. Permit mo. My name
Is Colliding , ' and ho linked his arm in
mine and we marched up to the desk to
gether. I took the oath , and then ho es
corted mo back to my seat. Litter in the
day. when they were lixing up the com
mittee * , ho asked mo it any ono was
looking after my interests , and upon my
informing him that there was not and
that I was myself ignorant of my rights
in the matter , ho volunteered to attend
to it , and as a result 1 was placed on
some very good committees and shortly
afterward got a chairmanship. 1 liavo
always foil very kindly toward Mr.
Colliding since , and I always shall. "

St. Louis Globe-Democrat : The old
ndairo that truth is stranger than fiction
had it.s truthfulness well exemplified by
a second occurcnco In addition to the re
union of llio Miller brothers , as a result
of the conclave , and which followed in
its wake , coming to light yesterday. The
incident referred to was the passing of a
casual observation , which led to the re
counting of experiences and ultimately
to the discovery of ono who for years
had been given up for lost. One of the
persons most deeply interested is Mr. S.
P. Holchor , manager of llio French Sil
vering Glass company , of this city.
Like many others , forced to leave his
hotel in order to make room for a knight
templar , hn secured a room in an up
town residence , and was requested by lih
landlady to allo w two sir knights to oc
cupy the same compartment with him for
a week or two. Ho cheerfully eonsei.ted ,
and on their arrival naturally engaged
them in conversation , and endeavored
to make them feel at home. Ono evenIng -
Ing in the latter purl of last week during
ono of tlictr conversations , the subject
turned on Indians. Ono of the Sir
Knights remarked that ho had lived
among them for six years and was deep
ly struck with their intelligence. This
conversation made a strong impression
on Mr. Holchor , and at the dinner table
the following day ho repeated what the
Sir Knight said in regard to the Indians ,
A lady who sat opposite quickly spoke up
and said that she agreed with tlio person
who had said that the "good Indian was
the dead Indian. " This remark , coming
from a lady of very evjdent refinement ,
naturally excited surprise and she qui > 'k-
ly said : "I was a captive among them
for three years , so 1 have good reasons
tor my opinion. " All eyes were at once
turned on the lady na she made this hist
remark , and as she win pressed on all
sides to tell her story s'hc at last con
sented.
\vpoKi ) IIY A siorx cnir.r.
She said that upward of twenty-eight
years ago , when she was a girl ot 13
years of ago , she left her homo in Now
York City to visit some friends at a fort
on the frontier. Wliilp there she saw u
great deal of the Indians , as they were
daily visitors at the fort. They were
greatly attracted , toward her , and her
beautiful auburn tresses especially Inter
ested them. The color seemed to bo to
thorn "trood medicine. " nnd they begged
* , | MMin . I * I * . ' - 1.1 I .V rv- -
jur luuita 01 ii , as 11.voiiiu insure 10 uiem
good luck on the war-path. One young
bionx chief did not eon line himself to a
simrlo lock , but requested the whole
head , as well as her hand. His aspira
tions were cruelly checked , but lie , as
well as other members of the tribe , still
continued to lavish on her presents of
beads and trinkets of various kinds. This
went on for some time , until one day in
October the little girl took her basket ,
left the fort and irottud oil' to the woods
to gather butternuts. While thus en
gaged , her too ardent friend , the rejected
chief , stoic stealthily upon her , and be
fore she was awuro of it her head was
enveloped in a blanket , she was lifted to
the back of a horse and rapidly carried
oil' . IJoing taken to tlio tout where
the tribe was encamped , she
was received with great respect
and treated with cxtienic Kindness. The
tribe at pneo moved oil' with llieir captive ,
and during the entire three years she was
with them they moved from place to
place , never remaining at any ono for
any length of time. Vainly did tlio poor
girl watch for a chance to escape , and
vainly did she wait for a rescuing party
to come to her assistance. During all
this time she was well Iroalod by her
captors , and never once did they oiler
any indignity to Iviv. In their furious
bursts of passion she witnessed many
cruel and vengeful acts on their part.'but
never were these acts directed towards
her. She was , as it were , a queen among
them , so far as treatment wont , but was
nevertheless placed under the strict
surveillance of the squaws of the tribe.
When traveling she was never forced to
walk , but was always given a seat on a
polo carriage or in rough ground carried
on the shoulders of a stout buck. Not
withstanding their kindness to her she
hated them violently , and never ceased
to long for her freedom. From being a
plump , stout , rosy girl , shu became
almost a living skeleton.
A HisCtiKG : I'AKTV.
When she had been with thorn about
throe years they were encamped some
where in ttio Rockies. Her lent was
pitched iigainst a tall clifF. down which
ran a llttlo stream of water , and which
also ran through under tlio tent. While
she was sitting there in the company of
several squaws ono day , she suddenly
heard shouts out among the hills. The
shouts were immediately followed by
shots , and she knew that a conflict o'f
some kind was goins on. A few squaws
rushed into the tout , gave a few orders
and loft. Those who were in llio tent then
seized llio trembling captive , threw her
on llio ground , covered her with a pile of
furs , ami , judging from llio weight , she
concluded they must have sal on her. It
was witli the utmost dilliculty thai she
could breathe , and she thinks she would
never have lived to toll this story iiad it
not been that she was within reacli of tlio
small stream , nnd thus enabled her to
moisten her parched throat and lips.
Soon she heard the squaws who find gene
out return , and after an interval of
deathlike silence she was almost enrap
tured by hearing what she hud given up
nil hopes of over again listening to her
own language , 'llio welcome words
spoke the following ! "Well , boys , I guess
wo might us well tnko this pile of furs
along too. " With this they gathered up
the furs , and their astonishment can be
readily imagined when they came to tlio
almost illuminate form lying on the
ground. She was quickly restored , and
learned that her captors had been almost
completely annihilated , only two or three
escaping. Her rescuers were a military
party who were traveling eastward ,
HUNTING IIKlt OLD HOME.
On arriving again in civilization the
girl , whoso name was Mary Otis , nt once
set about gaining information of her par
ents. Kvory trace of them seemed to bo
lost. Wholiior llioy were living or dead
she e.ould not discover She no sooner
obtained a clue to their whereabouts than
something arose to destroy it , nnd In this
way she continued her otlort to find
them , but never succeeded. Gradually
she brought herself to consider all her
friends as gene , and to look upon herself
as alone and friendless in the world. But
she was free and among civilized people
and for that she was unutterably thank-
till. At length a ludy whom she had mot
nl ono of tlio forts where she and her
rescuers wcro stopping , and who had
taken a great fancy to her , asked her to
live with her. Tins the poor lonely girl
consented to do , and at once accom
panied the kind lady to her
homo in Michigan , Hero she
iillod the place of a daughter , and
spent many nuupy days with her new
mother , entirely resigned to her futo , and
regarding the ono who had adopted her
as her mother , Time sped on nnd she
once more bugau to attain her former
beauty and robustness. Soon her charms
attracted the attention of an army otiicer ,
and she became his wife , The oflieer ,
her husband , is iv , Knight Templar , and
they together \isilod the oonclnvo.
TIII ; .
During the progress of the story the
lady Incidentally1 mentioned her maiden
name , Mary Otis. No sooner had Mr.
Holchor heard the name than he became
suddenly excited , and questioned her as
to her antecedents and family. On re
ceiving her answer ho at once made
known to her the fuel that his wife's
brother-in-law wnsonoof her
- - long-sought
brothers. His name was James Otis ; ho
had it brother , John Oil * , and n sister ,
Mary Otis. The sister had been spirited
away , they knew not how , and had long
since been given tip for lo t. Hut there
was no doubt that the lady from Mich
igan and Mary Otis wore ono and the
same. This discoynry greatly ntl'cctod
both parties interested , as well as tlio
others present , and Mr. Helcher was un
able to transact any business for llio re
mainder of the dnj. The lady was nl o
overwhelmed , and before her departure
a tow days after opened a correspond
ence with her brother ? . The huh is now
quite gray , nioro through trouble and
anxiety ( nan through ago. She is very
intelligent nnd rellned , having received a
liberal education from the old lady by
whom she was adopted.
The discovery of tlio former Ml s Otis
will also have irrcat weight in closing up
an oslato which has been in litigation for
years. Mr Hotelier has a largo interest
in it , bill has been foughl by hoift on the
lady s side , and hopes now that It will be
straightened out.
The lottery Ticket.
Detroit Free Press : The story 1 am
going to give was related to me by a
crook named Jim Davis , alias 'Little
Jim1' and I have every reason lo know
that he told the truth. I clvo il in his
own language :
"Hoforo the war , when thousands of
tickets In the Hoyul Havana lottery were
sold in the United States every month ,
and when everybody know the drawings
to be square , every gambler , pugilist ,
thief ami burglar made it a solemn duty
to Invest in at least ono ticket per mouth.
I happened in Now York with my 'pal'
in May one your , nnd each of us bought a
ticket for the May drawing , paying
therefor & 3 each. Our stay in the city
was brief. Wo had a job laid out ill nil
eastern slate and went , to Gotham after
tools to do it with. When we purchased
llio tickets eaeh of us took the number of
both on a slip of paper. After a few
days we got down to our work. Wo had
planned to crack the safe in the ollico
of a big iron mill , and wo had gene over
the ground and worked out the details
until wo felt sure of the boodle. The
pay-day at the mill came on the 20th of
the month. The money was drawn from
the bank on the lllth , and of course kept
in tlio safe over night. It was the night
of the lUlh wu tauKlcn it. There was a
watchman on the premises , and we bound
and gagged him and laid him in a corner
and wont to work. The safes of those
days were mere shells , while llio tools
wore almost as perfect as now. We had
the door open in an hour , and in ten
minutes more wo , should have boon oil'
with the ausli , buti the infernal watch
man across1 the strcet , in another mill ,
and bi'twecn ( ho ' blowing of whistles ,
ringing of bells , and shouting for help
we got rattled l(4Uiii started oil' without
getting a dollar *
"Wo ran out the back way and through
the yards , but were pursued by three or
four men some of whom fired at us with
revolvers. Wu cut for a ravine , tripping
and stumblintr and'in ' llio darkness be
came separated. My pal ran along the
edge of it , and jyas thot through the body
by ono of the nifm , while I plunged down
among the rocl > s an.d bushes and got safe
oil1 , though badly urfed up bysovcrnl tails
1 did not know until next 'morning that
my partner had been hurt , and I learned
of' his shooting UnU-'his death at the same
time. The body xyaS taken in charge by
the undertaker , aiid'l deemed it wise to
leave that locality. I was in Boston when
I saw a list ot the luck numbers for May ,
and while my ticket was not named my
partner had hit STO.OOO. I compared the
numbers over and over again and there
was no mistake. An agent in New York
stood ready to cash all prizes , but where
was the ticket ? 1 had seen it in my part
ner's wallet only the day before he was
killed. As the coroner had taken charge
of the body , ho must also have the man's
personal oH'octs in his possession. I
went over to New York and
cooked up n plan with a
sharp , shrewd old woman , who at once
proceeded to tlio place I have not thought
best to name to yon and passed hcraolf
oft"as llio dead man's mother. Sim had
everything so straight that the coroner
did not doubt her , but we reaped no
profit , from the plan. Nothing had been
found on the body except a few keys and
a knife. Tlio man had probably thrown
Ills wallet away while running , thai no
compromising papers might bo found.
"As we did not want the body , which
had of course boon buried , tlio woman
dropped oul of sight and 1 began a hunt
for the wallet In ono disguise and an
other 1 hung around the mill and thu
ravine until I had looked every foot of
ground three times over. If the coroner
hadn't the wallet some one else had. By
a series of lucky turns 1 finally discov
ered that one of tlio watchmen , a man
named Islmgur , had the wallet , I got
'on to' this fact jusl the day before he
started for Now York to gel thn lottery
ticket cashed. Ho had quit his job on
pretense of sickness , and evidently pro
posed to koei > the matter very oniot. 1
followed him to Gotham , saw Mm got
his cash , and then followed him to a
brother of his , 200 milo.s away. Ho had
that money in his possession just four

Chicago I ex\s52 : Mai. William- ! , now
naval ngoiit nt San FiaiM'l co , had an
earthquake o\periiMico while ho was llool
paymaster of tlio South Pacific squadron ,
with headquarters on the steamship
t'nulonln , anchored on" Arit-a , a city of
8,000 inhabitants at the foot of the Amlc. . .
The eventful day was peculiar with
atmo'plionc effects , but soft , mild and
hnxy. There was a little fr > te of some
sort going on aboard the Fredonla , ami
llio captain's wife had come on board to
grace the fout and to temper and ( one
down the too hilarious atmosphere by
her refined presence. The young olltoors
were dressed in their best , lltllu dreamIng -
Ing , poor fellows , they had shrouded
themselves for death ; little dreaming , as
they waltzed around so merrily , each
claiming his turn with their fair guest ,
that they were dancing over their own
graves ! At 1 o'clock they .sat down to
dine , and the dinner was not of "herbs , "
by any means. The lirst glass of wino
was being poured when lit ! the decanters
and glassware began to clash like mad
dened dice , and the ship to tremble and
sway in a strange , vertical way. With
the ready inMim-l of the sailor they knew
It was no ordinary "ship-roll , " and all
rushed upon dock to behold a sight most
appalling on shore , and to hoar the
smothered rumbling of a coining earth
quake.
The air was full or rising dust , great
rocks and trees were loosened and came
crashing down the side of the Audi's and
plunged in tue boiling sea , and the white
stucco houses of Arica , ono after another ,
crumbled and iell into themselves , as il
were , like eirg-.sholls ; and everything on
land seemed to bo crumbling to dust.
Major Williams , in this hour , with des
truction around thorn and Mirol.y on its
way to them , remembered a certain little ,
old , woll-thuinbed book belonging to his
scant library when a boy , in which a
chapter on earthquakes gave the fact that
a "tidal wave always followed such vis
itations , if it occurred near the sea coast , "
and he was not long In deciding to go to
shore when the shocks had subsided , and
bugged tho-io around him to take to tlio
beaN at once ; but limy refused , and no
persuasion could induce them to leave
the shii ) . F.ach shock on shore was fol
lowed bv a tremble in tlio sea , and ho
knew the old Fredoma's hour was nigh
at hand , and grew almost frantic at the
obduracy of his brother ollicers nnd
friends. They had lived for years as one
family , and it was terrible to luavu them
toji fato. ? o _ certain and sad , 'llio cay-
tain's wiio nmi joit two lovely young chil
dren at Cation , but she clung to her hus
band to the last , refusing to leave him
ovfn for the faint hope ol reaching those
poor little waiting children.
Major Williams , finding his efforts of
no avail , turned to Surgeon Dubois. who
had recently saved Ins life by his skill and
care during an attack of yellow fever ,
and pleaded with him. Two seamen
were waiting to row them to shore , but
Dubois , like the rest , preferred to take
his chances on the ship , but Major Wil
liams dragged him to the ship's side and
fairly forced him in. They were rowed
to sliore safely , and landed on tlio. least
precipitous slope of tiie mountains , but
the two poor seamen were lost ere they
again reached the ship. Hooks and trees
continued rolling down the mountains ,
and , almost blind with dust. Major Wil
liams and Surgeon Dnbois reached n
place of comparative safety , llio shocks
still continuing , but at longer intervals.
IJeloiv lay Arica ir. ruins , and out of
its 8,000 people about eight hundred had.
sought the .slope. Many lay dead in the
ruins , others remained to project what
valuables they had loft , mid some to care
for their wounded and dying friends ,
while many , falling prey to that spirit of
plunder said to bo engendered by earth
quakes the world over , remained" rob
and carry to places of concealment what
ever they could find of sulliciont value.
Our refugees from the sea had scarcely
selected and settled themselves in their
place of safety if such a thing could bo
lound when , looking toward the ocean ,
they behold the sea , like a mighty sheet of
glass , rise and full seven times , then
into thousands of watery fissures. The
old Fredouia was bpruoupuml down like
a toy , then the lips of a great lissuro
opened and closed around nor , and she
was soon no morel The night that fol
lowed was of the blackest darkness so
dark that a white handkerchief could not
lo seen a foot from the eye. The com
motion of the earth and tremblings still
kent up. beginning at some far away
point over tlio Andes , sounding at first
like some great spinning wheel , growing
louder nnd louder as it ncarcd , until in
an agony of dread and tuspenso the
poor overwrought creatures gave
vent to llio most piercing shrieks when
the crises eamo. Mothers were hunting
their children dis'.ractodly , orphaned
children calling through the darkness to
their parents , and the mountains rever
berating with tlio awful commotion lliat
came with each shock. It was a night
that can never be described.Vhcn day
light dawned a scene of widn-roaching
ruin and desolation mot the oyo. The
pretty strip of coast was though pulvor-
vorizud , not a living , moving thing waste
to bo seen , and the sea was shorn as willi
a scythe of all the while sails and stately
ships that so thickly dolled llio harbor.
Tli3 English shipping was destroyed , and
of the United States vessels not ono sur
vived the calamity except the Wateroo.
which was landed high and dry on a
shelf of the Andes , where she lies to-day
converted into some government pur
pose.
Relief was soon sent to tlm survivors
from Callao the 800 who had soughl the
mountains. Those who remained in llio
lown of Arica were swopl away by llio
tidal wave which rushed over tlio const ,
after the upheaval in the sea. Major
Williams was walking along thn short ) a
few days aflor , looking for some monion-
to from the Fredonla , when ho saw some
thing fluttering high up in a palm tree.
which looked familiar , and which proved
to be a small plaid shawl thai he kept in
his state room thrown across his berth ;
ho secured it with some difficulty , nnd il
is now in my keeping , covered with sea
stains and dark spots. A friend once
said to Major Williams ; "I would give a
fortune , major , for your experience in
llial earthquake. " "And I would give a
fortune if you hud it Jnstnud ot I it's a
nightmare ami horror to mo always , " ho
answered. The dispntohes of that dnto
from Callao read : ' 'Tho Frodonin lost.
But two souls saved , through a strange
Providence tlio paymaster and sur
geon. " It mlghl have added : "Thanks
to a llttlo old primer and a good mem
ory. " _
