Il!K?it of (lie Stii Itixljuh nt Lord
North Inland.
Becalmed (lvo ilnyg within hull
of a fleet iof sea roblmrs and without
no much as a wcnin except ono jil
tol on board was tho plight or the
full rigged ship Hadjah, on which 1
wsa first mate some yearn hack,"
raid Henry Wnlllorf, now first ofTl
ecr of the German Bteamnhlp T,lch
tpnfrls, ns ho watrhpd tho bamboo
bring discharged from his vphbpI.
We had left Cardiff, England, Pot
Hong Kong, with roal, by way ol
Gape Horn and the Southern Pa
cific. Moth the captain anti I nan
heard ninny tales of the sea robbers
of Lord North Island who rame to
railing vessels and steamers as trad
ers, but who are the b'oodthlrstlest
eea pirates that ever climbed aboard
a ship.
It was high noon on New Yearn
pny, thirteen years ago, when the
Karijah was In south latitude ftvo
decrees eaRt longitude 13S Wn
were thon due east of the Philip'
pines and slightly north by west of
the Caroline group. We were scud
ding along under a fair bree.p when
I noticed a vessel bearing down on
us. I called to the captain that I
did mt like the looks of the bout
and suggested sea robbers. The
skipper, who had tho gout and
u hose avoirdupois did not permit
him making rapid headway In any
direction, looked troubled. As I
looked again within ten minutes xif
the time when I had noticed the
first craft there were thirteen boats
apparently making for us.
"I talked to the crew, twenty In
all. most of whom were for going
below and barricading themselves
I told tneru tnnt we liuiln t any
weapons except my pistol aboard
ship and that every man might have
to fight it out. I fold them that If
any one balked nt fighting the sea
robbers I would tsboot him on the
spot.
-:
SIGHTING THE SKA UOBBEItS.
Then I ordered the men to gather
the hirgcst lumps of coal they coulj
get out of the hold and to place a
pod supply of the lumps all along
the rail and at. the bow and t!:e
litem of the Rud.lah. I Intended
that we would repel boarders with
the coal if that was the only thing
we could do, and I determined that
we would fight the black pirates off
to the last ditch.
"Through the glasses we counted
at least twenty dark skinned bandits
in each boat, and I knew we were In
for it if they ever got to us. Luckily
we were to windward of the crew of
cutthroats and we were hoping that
we could maintain the distance be
tween them and ourselves when sud
denly tho breeze died out and we
were becalmed. The calm came
Just as we lost sight of the nearest
of the pirate' boats, and as darkness
ti't in wo found that the tsea robbers
apparently had also been becalmed.
"For five mortal days and nights
we stayed there, not moving an inch.
Tie sea robbers, P irtunnlely, did
nut know of our plight, since they
coi'Ul not see us so they did not pad
cl'e our way, in which case they
woiild have had us completely tt
the'r mercy.
Win the captain in a state of
col apse and the crew on the verso
of a crazy, Fense'ews niitliiy. I hnd a
hard time maintaining dlsclpl.no on
board the Itudja.i. The vR:i ended
on the night of tho fifth day. when
a breeze sprung up and by morning
we had put many ml!es between us
en Lord North Island ,
"I left the Itadjah on our return
'o Kurope and got married Two
nontha after I left her in the fail
of tho same year, the ship turned
turtle during a gale two davs out
from Cardiff on un another voyage
to Hong Kong and all but two of her
crew, two sailors, were lost.

WHALES AS RAMS.
Two Resolute and Effective Attacks
Upon Vessels.
Whllo cruising In the South Spur the
whali-r Kksox on November 20, 1820,
wna furloiiHly nttaoki'tl hy a cow Hperm
wiiiilo Kiipposod to have been the moth
er of a fair which had Just been hr.r
I'oniind. The whale had not been
wounded herself and her nttark was
very determined. At her fln-t rush
Rlif n-.iwsi'd tinder the Essex nnd car
ried away a great length of her false
heel: then coming to the Hurface a
..viRlderable distance away nho ar'Petu
ed to tako bearings ancl deliberately
charged the vessel again, ra-iitnin-r
her with such violence that ciie Movh
l-i Hit; bows, while the ship rolled so
heavily that the captain thousht she)
inupt be dismasted. The case Is i'i"ra
oralile becausn the crew had to aban
don the vessel, and one boat was nev
er heard of again. ,
A more singular Instance of a whnii
attacking a vessel occurred In IS'.i.i,
the singularity lies in the fact that
111 tile case or tho Haiula Isle tii" at
tack was entirely unprovoked. Th'i
vessel, a brigantfne of 2fi0 tons, wj .4
on her way to Sydney with a car;v
f timber. On August 24, ah. nit noop,
a couple of sperm whales rose very
closo to the vessel, and while the
crew watched t.'iem "sporting " acrosj
her bows the pair suddenly slewed
around nnd came straight for her. Om
thought better of it nnd dived below
tlie Manila Isle, the other struck her
fair and square on the beam, crushing
In her timbers. Having rammed thu
fchlp In this resolute fashion It sh.vn'd
tiT terribly damaged about tho he;d.
tin presently sank tall first.
Fortunately tliero were some j.ncU
ligos of rawhides on b-anl and the
crew were able to keep the vorrel
afioat with the pumps until a rnu';'i
ai-d ready eolll.-!e!i mat had been
f:u.'.i!or.tl out of these and drawn ov-
tr tlio leak.

"Blonde women havo their photo
graphs taken Just about twleo as of
ten in the long run B3 brunettes," j
remarked a photographer in the
Cleveland Daln Dealer. Tho rea- i
son Is easy; blondes takes better pic
tures than brunettes. The lighting ;
effects are far better when tho sub- I
Ject is a blonde.
A blonde girl may get a photo
graph that will flatter her, where one
of a brunette taken under the same j
conditions will not even do her Jus
tice." Marriage. Arc IncreiLseil
It Is generally admitted that the
marriage age of woman had ad-!
vanced considerably of recent years.
Many a bride hag long left girlhood ,
behind her before she exchanged her '
vows at the altar, and there seem 1
to be few young men nowadays who ;
care to assume the responsibilities
of married life until they are in ths .
financial position usually associated '
with middle age. Woman's Life.

In connection with the Insistently
clinging chflv;"((r of velvet it iwr.y
bo noted that Cue f tuff lakes Its name
from the Itnllan "Veiuto," sliaggy,
offering In this respect a parallel
with "satin," which comes from the
Latin "seta," a bristle. As n gener
al rule It Is pretty safe to guess that
the name of a dress material comes
from some place. Ilesldes such ob
vious cases as "astrakan," "cash
mere," and "tweed," there are "fus
tian" (tho humble analogue of vel
vet), from Fustatt, (Cairo); "Mus
lin" from Mosul In Mesopotomla;
"damask" from Damascus, and "cam
bric" from Cambria, while "millin
ery" Itself. Is from Milan. The case
of silk Is a curious one. It is "serl
cum," the stuff obtained from the
Seres or Chinese; but these people
neem to have been named In ancient
Greek after the Chinese word for
silkworm. London Chronicle.
Tea Joviih in Well Fffccts.
One can make very smart house
gowns without too great nn expendi
ture of money, and copy the most
exclusive models at that, if time and
patience are given to the task, for,
alas, they require much handwork.
Two lovely models are shown, the
uppermost being In chiffon which
can be replaced by silk mull. A
delicate shade of cream, blue laven
dar or pink would be pretty. The
skirt Is formed of alternating panels
of German Varenclennes insertion
and mull, the mull being bordered
with a narrow band of embroidery.
At the bottom there Is a ruffle made
after the game Idea, but with a head
ing of plain tucked mull. The de
TEA GOWNS IN RICH EFFECTS,
sign is empire, tho corsage being
formed of tucked mull (Trimmed
with folds of the same material Inset
with bands of embroidery. At the
bottom there Is a ruffle, made from
the same Idea, but with a heading of
plain tucked mull. The design is
Empire, the corsage being formed of
tucked mull trimmed with folds or
tho same material inset with bands
of embroidery while the sleeves are
formed entirely of Val ruffles.
The second model is a semi-fitting
princess, wrlnkleless, yet allowing
the utmost freedom of movement.
It Is boned to keep Its shape since
the model does not follow the lines
of the figure snugly. The trim
mings are of Valenciennes Insertion
and edging, while the dainty coat is
of white mull appllqued with pink
figures cut out of cretonne and
stitched upon the mull with button
hole embroidery. The coat is bor
dered with lace. Tho loose sleeves
like the Bhoulders are trimmed with
bands of heavy, though not expen
sive cream colored lace. They
hang loosely over the arm to the
elbows where they are finished with
frills of Valenciennes.
To Make Wall FajM-r Stick.
Paper on newly plastered walls is
not apt to stick, even If the walls are
considered to be dry. To obviate
this difficulty wash down the walls
with the following preparation:
Half a pound of glue dissolved In a
gallon of boiling water, to which add
enough paste to make the mixture of
the consistency of cream. The paste
is mado after this receipt: To two
quarts of flour add enough warm wa
ter to muko a thin paste. Add boil
ing water till tho Hour rooks and
thickens.
