V The Trices In Europe for old violins are ery high and are the same In every city nd the dealers don't seem to care If they irll them or not; '$8,000 to $10,000 is a reg ular price for a Stradivarlus, and third flans Italian violins coat more than $1,000. August Gemunder sayi In the - Violin World that no dealer in this country can pay such fancy prices and . pay Uncle Sam 15 per cent. duty besides. ' He urges that the duty be greatly reduced. If not ttken off entirely, on old violins, so the dealer rati purchase some of the Instruments lbrcad.

The words of the Im mortal Pern.

It was the act of a commander , WHO , ping ; plilp. who was put to the last result In thus ship- wild men to, assist In working the and the remnant of tho crew who ; remained ' loyal to Captain Norris found trouble the moment those savages stepped j on deck. They were utterly useless as sailors; they could neither go , aloft nor stand a trick at the wheel. They were use ful only in tailing on In handling the ropes, j In a whaleboat they were even worse than j a dummy, and so it was that In the fall of ! IS 12 the Sharon found itself in a peculiar j predicament while on the whaling grounds. ; Alter these savages, four in number, had been on, the whaler two weeks they re pented of their foolishness. The' restraint ; of ship life was too much for them, and with each day they gave evidence of trouble, but no one on the old whaler feared the quartet, knowing full well that they could easily be handled with the tirst appearance of an outbreak. Captain Norrls was only a young man. with ideas of bis own about discipline. It was his effort in maintaining discipline that had caused the deawrtions, and It was In reality his own doing that brought on the trouble which followed. One afternoon whales were raised and every ' boat was lowered, leaving on the ship only Captain Norris, a' Portuguese lad named Jose dos Reis-and the four savages. Oftentimes in giving chose to whales the boats go a long distance from the ship, and so-lt was that day. While tho boats were away the. Kings Mill-Islanders executed a scheme which no doubt bad been in their minds for days after leaving their island home that of taking the ship. While Cap tain Norrls and the Portuguese lad were on deck watching the boat engaged in the chase tho four Bavages bounded from the forecartlo decorated In war .' paint and armed with spears. . The Portuguese lad had the wheel at the time and. seeing them coming aft. sang out to Captain Norrls, but ust too late, for the captain was Instantly killed by a spear thrown by one of the would-be sailors. . This caused the lad to run for his life, and he fled to tho mizzen rieging. up which the savages did not dare ascend. They bad control of the ship, bow ever, and knowing nothing about a vessel, it' va wed and wabbled like an old scow adrift. Its strange actions attracted tho attentiou of the olUcera away In . the boats, and after signaling each other they gave tip pursuit of the whales and headed Tor the ship. As the boats approached the Sharon the Portuguese : lad warned the crews to be wary and explained what had happened. Attacked lir Jamei.

"ee ( aetting any nearer. Smith was In reality I the commander, the death of Captain Nor rls Imposing the duties upon Mm. lies however, was at a loss what to do. Third Mate dough suttRested that the hoala make a dash for the ship together, rench the deck and overpower the Inlanders. T!ut Mr. Smith did not care to take such a chance. For two hours the bnnts hung about the-ship, out of Tnnse of the spesr of the natives, dough asked tn be put near the ship for a chance at hitrpoonlnR the dark skins, but Mate Smith hadn't the nerve to try that plan of capture. Then Clongh suggested . that with darknetia lie would swim to the ship and enter the cabin, where he could procure firearms and at the first shot the boats' crew were to make a dash for the ship. The Sharon, fortunately, had two old fashioned square windows astern, making possible the plan proposed. Clough took tho water ahead of tho shiu. It being In the game to keep the savages Intent on tho boats. He slipped out of his boat noiselessly snd swam under tha water, in' tending to reach the side of tha ship and work his way along to the rudder, but the moment he let himself over tha whaleboat the Sharon was taken aback by the very light wind with no one at the wheel, and when he reached the surface he faund himself some distance from the craft. In that latitude to strike out and make hi way to the stern on the surface meant a dead giveaway, foe. the phosphorescent water was unusually brilliant and con' tact with it ould cause 'such a sparkle as would he sure to betray his approach. He was a clever swimmer, and he knew that if he struck out for the ship the game was up. And right here Is where ho dis played excellent judgment. He didn't daro go down for fear of creating too much disturbance of the water, but instead "treaded water" until near enough to the ship to be unobserved by anyone on dock, when he went along the side until he j reached the stern. It was a cleverly per formed act, fof, as every swimmer knows, 1 "treading water," while producing little or no agitation of the surface, Is extremely slow. Reaching the rudder, he climbed up and entered through the starboard window looking down upon two sharks which had turned for a nab at blm Just as he drew himself up on the rudder. He had divested himself of all clothing, and when he stepped into the cabin he was as free from encum brance as the four savages In control of the ship. He obtained two muskets and a pair, of cutlasses from the captain's room, and just an ho started to go up on deck, after loading the guns In the dark, for he dare not strike a light, he faced one of the savages. The struggle? was a short one. but the noise occasioned brought the others aft. and for a brief period, which must have seemed hours to young Clough. It wss a fight against big odds. Clough came off Mllo, who knew that Captain Nye was to make a dash for liberty, and every man on' that old ship prayed for his success. Captain Nyo had lost the ship Abigail by the Shenandoah a short time pre vious while cruising In the Okhotsk sen. This was on Saturday, May 27. and the captain and his crew were taken to the Shenandoah as prisoners. His pluck ns serted Itself even while a prisoner on the steamer, and he made Captain Waddell's life anything but pleasant while on board. His star was a ahort one, but lor enough to suit Waddell and his officers. who, when Nye was forward In Irons, dreaded conversation with blm. Of the twenty-seven whalers destroyed by tho Shenandoah it) northern waters, twenty' flve were captured two months ufter the victorious, two of the savages making good their escupe 011 the death of their eecond companion. At this point the crew In charge of the first officer reached the ship, which later was taken to Sydney, N. S. W. The news of dough's daring reached New Bedford long belore the ship returned home, and upon his arrival he was given a royal reception. His next voyage was as master. It was certainly a daring act.' one which, has not sinco been equalled. Like a true hero, however, he celdom during, his life alluded to It. No more heroic deed was ever performed than tliat undertaken by Captain Ebenezer F. Nye and the brave men who volun teered to peril their lives In an open boat In the summer of 1SC5, while prisoners on the bark MIIo In , the Arctic ocean. It was an act which startled every prisoner on tho ship at tho time, for within.. Bight of the Mllo, which bad been captured by the Shenandoah and bonded by Captain James I. Waddell, its commander, was the rehol steamer Itself, its crew keeping a watch ful eye on the prisoners who had been transferred from the steamer. , It was Cap- tain Nye who was the leading spirit In this undertaking, and he took with him roPti known to ba fearless sailors from his Capo Cod home, who had put him onto many a large whale, and right hero It may be stated that tho men who go up onto 'them leviathans of the deep must of necessity be endowed with wonderful pluck. The very boldness of that midnight undertak ing on June 22 appealed to those on the civil war had closed, and Captain Nye hud tho courage to face the commander of the Shenandoah and tell him that he was engaged In an act of piracy, showing him lata papers giving the details of the downfall of the confederacy. Waddell would not listen, and when Nye In plain English called him a pirate who deserved hanging at the yardami tho during Cape Coddcr was forcibly removed frcm Wad dell's presence and placed In double irons. Even that punishment did not break tha whalemau'a spirit, and when later the Mllo was captuied it was with relief that the officers of tha Shenandoah, saw Nye go aboard the prison ship. Little did thoKo men think that the frail but energetic whaling master would ba the means of thwarting them In their piratical under taking. But he was, and the owners of the ship which ha saved, on his return home, presented him an elegant gold time piece as a memento of that event. Cptaln Nye had not been long on the Mllo when he began his plans for his brilliant dash. He learned from late captives that quite a number of tha Arctic fleet lay to the northeast of Cape Naverino, oblivious of the fact that tha Shenandoah was in that latitude ready to wreak ruin and de struction on Yankee property. Picking liia men, one of the whalcboata was secretly provisioned, and In tha dead hours of night he, with his brave men, lowered that small boat and put off to the rescue of other whalers, reaching the unsuiectlng mari ners, ship by ship, until all Itad been warned. It was, Indeed, a courageous act, for had he and his boat's crew been caught they would have paid , the peruilty with their lives. But they suceeded after a most perilous cruio In an open boat in thut icy ocean, and the best part of this story Is that every ship warrul by tha daring Nye succeeded In making Its escape from the clutches of Waddell, who raved at his luck when ha learned that their escape was due Xj3 the Abigail's firebrand Yankee, as ho called Captain Nye. The remnant of the Arctic Beet reached San Francisco in vafety. where Nye and his boat's crew wers Joyfully received. Captain Waddtll had frequently remarked to his purser, C. li. Hunt, that Nye was the boldest Yankee he ever saw, and pre dicted that a dozen such men on the cruiser would have taken the steamer, and he was more than pleased when Nye left the Shen andoah, but he lit tin droumed of being so cleverly balked In a scheme which ha fur months had planned to execute.
