TItANsLATKD FIU'M THU GF.P.MAN'
Tlio wealthy merchant, Van Beeren,
of Amsterdam, went to his hunker's
oue morning, l<> get 5u newly coined
llorius. He had with him a magnificent
Newfoundland dog, with curly hair, an
expressive fact*, and beautiful true
brown eyes. '
Oppas was the favorite (if the whole
family und the steady companion of his
master, whom he never left, except
when he hud strict orders given him to
watch the children or to keep guard
oyer some article of value. Yau Beeren
could safely put his gold-headed cane
iu the middle of the street and say to
Oppas, “ You stay here until I come
hack ;" and there was no doubt of find
ing cane and dog at the same spot, after
hours hud gone by. I would not have
advised anybody to touch him then.
If his master wanted to go to tlie church
or to the theatre, or in fact anywhere,
where lie didn't want the Uog to accom
pany him, all ho had to do was to look
at him aud say: “Oppas, go home!"
find Oppas turned round, although mor
tified, aud went straight home, without
lookiug to tJic right or left.
Mynheer Van Beeren had taken his
dog along to-day, as usual, and had
rather a lengthy conversation with his
friend the hanker, whom he also told
for wlmt purpose lie wanted the new
llorins.
To-day was the silver wedding day of
one of his old servants named Claus,
who had been m the service of his
father, and been true to them both for
many years. As the man was not very
well off, for lie had a great many chil
dren to provide fur, he waute.l to give
him a pieasauL surprise with these fifty
florins. He received them lightly done
up in a roll; but the silver was rather
heavy, and Mynheer Van Beeren rather
lazy, lie could not put it in his pocket;
he did not like to curry it in his baud ;
and, therefore, as soon as he had re
gained the street, he gave it to his dog,
who proudly put it in his mouth and
nmrehed solemnly along with his mas
ter until they reached the house of his
formerservant. Mynheer Van Beeren
did not even now take the money from
the dog, hut wanted to have the fun of
seeing the dog himself deliver it.
He did this elegantly, for when his
master sUid to him, “ Oppas, now give
up your present,” and pointing to the
surprised servant, he went'up to him,
wagged his.taii, and allowed hiinquiet
ly to take the money out of his mouth.
The old servaut was greatly moved;
lie thanked his master with tears in his
eyes, at the same time caressing the dog,
who seemed to be well pleased. More
over, when Mynheer Vau Beeren left,
Claus begged leave to retaiu the dog,
around whom tiiechihireu hail gathered
for awhile longer, that- he might reward
him fur bringing so rich a present. The
children joined in his entreaties until
the merchant said pleasantly: “Well
for my part, yon may have him for a
guest, but dou’t overfeed him, and
afterward, just open the door for him
aud say : ” Nt.w g:> home, Oppas,’ then
you need not bo'iier him auy. more; he
knowsjiis w::y,”
k “But will lie stay here, when you go
Iff?”
V Certainly; he does anything I tell
hlr\-, () l'l i:i *. you slay here,” lie said to
the iNewibuudland dog, who looked at
him vivith his sagacious eyes,' and then
eat quVetly down,.-as if to await what
wouMAjhapjieu. When ,liis master went
off itmibediaLely after he never stirred ;
and uowt the ohildren began to coax and
dress himJ while the good woman pre
pared a'g^ (ul repast for bin*, which he
enjoyed hfugely until the time came
wh§n they* had to send him off ugain.
When then opened the door for
him and airfd, as he had been told:
“Now go home!” he wagged
his tail once mXn e, and returned straight
home. ■ \
A few gone by and Myn-‘
heer Van Beerenlmd to jJobusinessagain
one afternoon witri the same banker.
The dog went alongYtfi usual, aud also
lifted himself when he arrive! at the
counting tableandoffered his paw to the
cashier. He, however would not notice
him to-day, and all seemed to be some
what excited ; the cause of which was
immediately explained by the banker
himself, who just then came out of his
private office.
The thing was this: There had been
committed a theft that morning with
such agility and dexterity, that the
matter was wholly inexplicable. One
of the clerks had made rolls of floriDS
and had placed ten of these, which were
intended for the private expenses of the
family, on his employer’s desk. The
latter had counted them himself twice
over, so that there could have been no
mistake; and yet one of the rolls had
disappeared in a moment, while be had
been handing a few letters to be copied
into the main office. A theft seemed
hardly possible, unless it was executed
.with great boldness, through the win
dow, which happened to be open, in
which case it must have been done in
an incredible short space of time. How
could a thief dare to climb into an open
window in open daylight in a busy
street; and if he did why had he taken
only one roll, when there were ten of
them lying right near.
Mr. Van Groten, such was the bank
er’s name, had in the meantime sent to
the police to. make known the facts,
and one of this force had come up to
take a look at the place. He shook his
head when they showed him the win
dow and the desk. The latter stood at
least six feet from the window, so that
a person who might have jumped up to
the window board, could not from there
have got at the money, but was obliged
to enter the office, while Mynheer Van
Groten asserted that he had not left it
for half a minute. Besides the little
A. IS cKI ‘ii AH
VOLUME 70
.oom had no separate entrance or exit,
1 utonly through the main entrance
Could a person get into it, The aflair
remained shrouded in darkDess and the
roll of 50 florinß, of course, gone. Myn
heer Van Groten had become so afraid,
that he shut the window every time he
left his room, and as no further theft
was committed, the loss was at last for
gotten ; at least .nothing more was said
about it. Two or three weeks might
have goneby, and Mynheer Van Beeren
was just sipping his afternoon coffee in
his “study," when old Claus sent his
name in, wishing to thank his old em
ployers.
“Thank me!" said Mynherr Van
Beeren; “for what? for my last pres
ent? He has thanked me for that long
ago, and since then X have not seen
him ; but let the old man come in."
The door opened immediately after,
and Claus, hat in hand, appeared upon
the threshold, but looked very misera
ble.
“Hallo! Claus, what is the matter
with you man? You have grown so
pale and so lean, that I should hardly
have known you. Have you been sick ?
I never heard a word about it! "
“ O, my savior,” the poor man sighed;
“ I have been very sick ; so sick that I
did not think I should get up again ; I
dare not do anything yet; the doctor
has given me strict orders not to work ;
he only allows me to walk out in the
air to regain some strength."
“BoorChius," Van Beeren said com
pasionately, “and why didn't you let
me know of it ? "
“0, my dear sir," the old man said,
fervently, “you knew it anyhow, for
you came to my rescue in my need in
such a magnanimous and delicate way.
I do not know how to thank you."
“My dear Claus,” said Van Beeren,
“I certainly would have been most
happy to have assisted you, if i had
heard a word of it, and perhaps it is not
too late now ; but I assure you, I knew
nothing of it, and do not understand
what you mean by saying I helped you
in a maguanimousauudelicate manner.
“O, iny dear sir,” said tile old man,
“why not allow me to thank you, for
you can’t deny it Your own good
dog brought me the money, you know."
“Oh, is that what you mean," Myn
heer smiled, “but my dear friend, that
was on your silver wedding, and no
body then thought you werg going to
be ill.”
‘ Ah, ho; I don't mean that," theold
man said, shaking his head ; “ the sec
ond time, about three weeks ago, when
the dog came to me by himself and
brought me another such roll. He had
been scratching at the door for some
time before we heard him and could ad
mit him.”
“My dog?" the merchant asked in
amazement; “my Oppas?"
“Why, certainlyi he delivered the
money at my bedside, and walked oil
wagging his tail."
“And how much did the roll con
tain ?"
“Just as much as the first—
was the answer.
“That is strange," said Mynheer,
amazed, slapping his knee with his
hand ; but Oppas shall come in."
“ And you really know nothing of it?"
“ Not a syllable.”
“ But where can the dog have got the
money ?”
“ He stole it!" the merchant roared
out; “ stole it in opposition to all laws;
no! I neversaw-tiielike * Send up the
dog, Claus ; he will probably be down
stairs in the yard ; we will give him an
examination. Stay; did you feed him
again that time?"
“ Well, you may well imagine, that,
Mynheer, the children didn’t hardly
know what to do for him, and he stayed
with us about uu hour unill I sent him
home again, because I feared you might
want liiin.^
“ But 1 can’t comprehend yet—"
“ Well, never mind Claus, I’ll tell
you that after awhile just send up the
d°g.”
“Oppas came, exhibiting great joy ;
for he jumped up at Chius continually,
aud wagged his tail, as is to show his
joy at tile old mail’s recovery.
“ 1 say, Oppas," his master said,
“ what bavoyou been about, eh ? What
do I hear of you?" The great New
foundland clog probably did not under
stand what his master said, but lie did
not like htetone nor his look; he had
become sh'y ; but wagged his tail in a
moree*lively manner, seeming only a
little oppressed.
“ Well,” said his master, “ how is it?
Where did you get the mouey that you
brought old Claus ; to get another extra
dinner, eh?” The dog grew more and
more shy, and now lay down on his
belly and crawled up to his master, who
said laughing : “Ah do you acknowl
edge your guilt at last ? Oh, you good
for-nothing beast ? As soon as the dog
saw his cheerful face, his fear was gone
at -once. Before Mynheer could have
thought of it, he jumped up to him
and licked his whole face* in such a
manner that he could hardly keep him
off. When he had quieted him a little,
lie told Claus the whole story of the
theft at Vau Groten’s which none hut
the dog could have accomplished and also
quieten the old man about the theft. He
said the dog had only done what he would
have done himself, if he had known of
the sickness of his old faithful servant. |
He should not trouble himself about the
money, for he had a perfect right to
keep it. Then, as soon as Claus was
gone, he took the roll of fifty florins,
put on liis hat, and gave them to the
dog to bring back the stolen mouey to
his friend Van Groten.
“Now,” thought Van Beereu, when
upon reaching the house he found the
window open, on account of the warm
weather, "ifl send Oppas in by the
same way he got money, he will know
right offif he can jump that high.’'
Upon reaching the window-sill lie
therefore said : “Oppas, hop, jump up,
quick !” With one jump lie was there,
and waited for orders wagging his tail.
Mynheer Van Beeren heard a loud
cry of astonishment, but when the dog
turned to him he beckoned to him to
jump into the office, which he did, upon
which he himself went iuto the office.
was not a little astonished
he saw his friend's dog with a
rolfcpf money in his mouth. Vau Beeren
soon solved the mystery to him.
They laughed'a great deal about the
affair, but Mynheer never left the wiu
dow open after that when he left the
office, until he had a little lattice affixed
to it. He did not trust Oppas, for he
thought he might again get huugry for
an extra meal, and try to place himself
in possession of it by similar means.
Scicntlflc;and Mechanical
What to Wear on the Feet.— One of
the well-established facts of physiology
is that anything worn upon the feet
which, like rubber or patent leather,
prevents the p&ssing off of the insensi
ble perspiration, is detrimental to the
health. Those who regard the organic
laws as having any sacrqdness, will not
use patent leather boots, covering the
whole foot, for constant wear, but limit
them to particular occasions. Rubber
ought to be removed, and something
else substituted in their place, as soon
as the feet come out of the wet
which occasions their being put on.
The same is true of all boots that arc
water proof. They should be worn only
when times of exposure make them
necessary. This is sufficiently well
known with regard to rubbers ; but few
think that leather boots are objectiona
ble, for tue same reason, iu proportion
v as they are water-tight. There are
comparatively few of them which are
perfectly so; yet there are many, which,
worn as they are, day after day, in dry
weather as well as wet, must, by retain
ing a large part of the foot’s perspiration,
have ah unhealthful effect. It is a
good practice to bathe the feet after
removing A pair of water proof boots
which have been worn during the day.
With maDy n?en this is a necessity, and
it would be such, with many more if
they knew all the requirements of the
laws of hygiene, to say nothing of any
other reason. To give the boots them
selves a washing out occasionally would
be advantageous, as tue feet must be al
lowed to perspire naturally or the akin
in sfthie other part is liable to be over
taskejp, and it is stated by medical au
thority that many skin diseases hare
been produced by neglect of the feet in
this particular.
How to Buy Furs. —ln purchasing
furs a sure test of what dealers call a

reject the article, bu t if the down is so

Inside (be Ludlow Street Jail.
Sr. CotrlcK' Own Story of lUs Prison
[From the Bprlnglle’'! Republican. 1
If I owned a patent medicine, or was
a candidate for office, or even was an
itinerant peddler of slazy silks and
scented soaps, money could not buy of
me the experience in Ludlow street jail,
which those representatives of business
and political sensations and swindlings,
Fisk and Butler, and their allied repre
sentatives of what they call law and
justice in New Y'ork—Judge McCunn,
Counseller Vauderpoel, and Sheriff
Jimmy O’Brien —persuaded me into last
week. Being a simple country -printer
and editor, and the accidental author of
oue book, the pecuniary profit of the
transaction is not so clear; though it be
a fact that a shrewd Yankee publisher
the next day offered “ to go a thousand
better" fora new book —which suggest
ed—sl,ooo—slo.so for lodging and break
fast— SUBU.SO possible net gain. But not
forseeing then how famous my euemies
were making me, how infamous them
selves, by this little bon-bon joke for
their evening’s entertainment at Mr.
Augustus L. Brown’s, Fifth avenue, I
thought first and chiefly of the fine
philosophy of the Frenchman, that ex
perience was all that life could give us,
aud that whosoever offered a fresh bit
of that was a real if unconscious phil
anthropist. Here truly was something
rare aud original in that line, RDd after
the first surprise was over, I looked
about to make the most of it.
All the outward e-vents of the taking
off, the revelings of the “ ring " at Mr.
Brown’s, the scenes around the jail,
'night and morning, have been suffi
ciently described. The officials exhib
ited only just as much severity as was
necessary to represent the meanness
and brutality which they were charged
to execute. The purpose was to give
me all the letter and none of the liberty
of the law,‘all its cruelty, none of its
courtesy ; to prevent my friends know
ing for what i was arrested, or where I
had been taken; to insure beyond per
advenlure my confinement for the
night; and ail the persons engaged in
the transaction, from lawyers aud judges
down to the jail scullions, certainly
earned extra pay for the fidelity with
which they stuck to this purpose of
their employers. Whatever of failure
they met with was none of their fault.
That which other prisoners had through
the evening was strictly denied, or cun
niugly prevented me; and soon discov
ering this, 1 philosophically accepted
the goods the gods had provided. One
of these was the finaliest edition of the
Evening Express, aud for the first time
.in my life 1 mastered the mysteries of
its “makeup." I claim almost the.
right of original discovery, and hence
forth can begin at the beginning and go
through its dancing aud discordant
columns ■without missing an item of
news.
After the 10 o’clock bombardment by
my friends, the jailer, who really is a
good natured little Irishman, began to
smile through the deep small-pox
pockets of his face; Mr. Blunt’s denun
ciation of him as “a vagabond,” and
Mr. Halsted’s query as to what his old
office might be worth in greenbacks,
both seemed to tickle his vanity, aud
remarking that I appeared to have some
pretty earnest and influential friends,
he proceeded to make me as comfortable
as the prison-house would permit, with
a strict eye, however, to both the law
aud the profits.
I could have a bed in the room,halfroom
halfceliof another gentleman,Mr. John
Livingston, an old New 'York lawyer,'
aud editor of the Law■ Magazine, who
had been clapped in only au hour or
two before 1 was, and on a similar pro
cess to mine—his offence being the
writing of a letter about a person whom
he thought aud said was a rascal—for
which the price with board was $l5 a
week, half a week to be paid any way.
But saying I would like the best hehad
under the rules of the prison, he showed
me a room on the ground floor, leading
out of the general dining room, now
piled up with furniture, but which be
partially cleared away, and pfaced it at
my disposal at the rate of $35 a week,
“half down." There wasageneralshab
biness or rather untidiness about the
whole premises, aud no bedroom furni
ture in the room but two small hard
beds, a carpet aud chairs in abundance;
but my door was not locked, and I had
the run in fact of the whole floor, of
which, indeed, 1 appeared to be thesole
occupant, Office, dining room, kitchen,
and closets, which were kept brilliantly
lighted for the whole night.
But I had not yet mastered the fas
cinating problem of the five edition
Express. And from the moment of
entrance I had seen that here was what
I had not supposed existed in America,
a miniature Marshalssa, and Dicken’s
charmiug story of “ Little Dorrit" came
up before me in all its details. What
wouldn't I have given for Mr. Hough
ton’s large print household edition of it
for the night’s reading aud comparison.
So I went back to the office, where more
or Jess of my feilow-prisoners were play
iug cards, reading, and talking, while
in the hall above others were enjoying
a game at billiards.
Ludlow street jail is devoted to pri
soners under civil suits—for libels, lor
slanders, for that class of debts not yet
expunged from jail offences,for breeches
of trust, that description of con
structive offences or suspicion that,
under the old common law, border on
crime yet do not touch it; also, for
criminals under Federal laws, counter
feiters, smugglers, post office robbers,
murderers on the high seas, &c. These
latter are confined iu cells iu the upper
part of the building, and have no con
sort with the former, who have the
privilege (?) of paying for their board
and lodging, a wide range of liberties
together within the house. But Dickens
describes it better: “ Itself a close and
coufiued prisou of debtors, it combined
within itself a much closer and more
confined jail lor smugglers. Offenders
against the revenue laws, and defaulters
against the excise or customs, who had
incurred fines they were unable to pay,
were supposed to be incarcerated behind
an iron plated door, closing up asecond
prison, cousistingof a strong cell or two,
and a blind alley some yard and a half
wide, which formed the mysterious ter
mination of the very limited skittle
ground in which the Marshaiseadebtors
bowled down their troubles.”
The old residents—prisoners for days,
weeks, and months, as most of them
were; reconciled, contented, jolly —
treated me with a tender inattention
which wasmoatexquisite. They neither
stared at nor asked questionsof me, but
kept on with their play, talk, or read
ing. Only the newest comer explained
disease, and asked mine. The others
soon seemed to know all about my
affairs; how, I can hardly tell; butcer
tainly I never met more delicate polite
ness than the iudirect and secret man
ner in which they satisfied their curiosi
ty. I thought with a shudder how
different it would have been if this
Marshaloea recognized the rights of
wotkim_Jo imprisonment.
Late as it was, few seemed to have
gone to bed, and callers were still ad
mitted—except to me. Our “ Father of
the Marshalsea ” soon came down stairs
—a tall, straight, gentlemanly old man,
dressed in black, with rich white hair
aud beard, and a benevolent, yet wise
face; his would have been a marked
appearance and manner in the United
States Senate or in the Supremo Court.
All paid tribute to him as he moved
about. Most of the others were younger
men, and exhibited no sense of their
condition, except in a certain manner
of unrest, which led them from billiards
to cards, from these to papers, and again
back, with unnatural frequency.
There was suggestion of a game tosee
who should pay for the oysters or a bot
tle of ale or cider; thejailer’s assistants,
two or three awkward, over-grown,
green boys, were asked to go out for this
or that luxury; there was a good deal of
chaffing abouti one'another’simpecuni
osity; and sly but successful appeals, at
the last, for a “night-cap” out of the
private stores of the jailer.
Not until midnight was there any
suggestion of then there was
a rap and a call of bedtime from the
second story ; and I was soon left alone
in the office. Wandering about the
floor I found a generous bathing-room,
a large and well-appointed kitchen a
long and plainly furnished diningroom,
apparently always ready for a meal,
and open alike to the officers and the
civil prisoners; the building was over
heated with steam, and I was moved to
beg, with success, for the window in
my room to be opened for fresh air; apd
affairs were apparently more disorderly
and untidy than usual, because the
LANCASTER PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING JANUARY 6 1869
principal public room, a sort of sitting
room and library and reception-room
for the civil suit Inmates, was in process
of repainting and frescoing, and could
not be used.
The bed diJ not invite sleep; I could
not keep do n the sense of the humor
ousness of .he situation; it disputed
place Anxiety for my invalid wife,
for whose care I had exposed myself to
this petty persecution of my enemies,
and with sympathy for the children to
whom the jolly side of the experience
would not suggest itself; and along
with these, mixing with half-sleep,
came those nervous speculations that
Dickens describes as possessing Arthur
ClenDam when he slept in the Marshal
sea. The steam pipes fizzed and fumed
suppose they should burst. Would it be
easy to escape if one wanted to—would
this genteel scroll of iron work that
guarded. the lower windows in re
spect to the supposed superior social
beings to whom the rooms were devoted,
give way. more easily than the plain
cross bars above? I could hear a stream
of water coursiDg .under the walls—
suppose it should get dammed up, and
the building be flooded from the bottom
—I would be the first victim. How
about fire, which these floods of gas sug
gested—where was a man who bad the
keys, and would he rather let us burn
up> than have us go free? I got up once,
as I used to when in camp among the
mountains, aud strolled about to accus
tom myself to the novelty of the place.
The night watchman was eating a
hearty lunch in the dining room; all
else was silence and dead within the
house; aud without the city was at its
quietest. ’At long intervals, the horse
car weut rattling by.
Then I went back and slept, and
dreamed of Fisk’s young and romantic
days, when I used to meet him among
the Green Mouutain towns, with his
gay horses and his richly painted waaou,
with his pretty face in vivid
colors on its side, and herprettier person
by his side under a huge caleche on top
of thp wagon. That was before Boston
had invited, and New York had tempt
ed ; before lie became the prince of
Hartford and Erie'and the kingof Erie;
before other seductions than those of
power and wealth had entered in and
possessed him.
It was but a limited toilet that I could
rnakein the morning. There was plenty
of fresh water and clean towels, aud an
older inmate who came down in velvet
and beaded slippers, and jenteel morn
ingjacket, aud well furnished dressing
case, offered me his more cleanly soap
than that provided by the city and
county of New Y'ork ; but with a deli
cacy of self respect, as well as of respect
for me, which I am sure Fisk could
never appreciate, he forbore to tender
me any other of the contents of his toilet
box. To your true resident of Marshal
sea there are limits to generosity and to
the use of things in common. He ob
serves the usages of the best society, that
expects every gentleman to have a hair
brush and tooth brush of his own. Then
we gathered in the office and sent out
for a newsboy, who came again and
again to supply the extra demand. We
were curious to see how the busy outside
world looks in at the quiet, self-com
posed, self contained life of the prison
house. And even I copld not fail to
catch at once the feeling of contempt
with which these inside eyes, of bodies
confined but spirits free, looked out upon
the hot unrest and wrangling life of free
materialities-but enslaved souls.
boon the morning calls began, and
the door-bell was continually ringing.
A daughter to see a father, a wife to
see a husband, a lawyer to find his client,
a brother to help a brother; some for
“our set," more for the less cheerful
prisoners above. We could seethe pro
cession file in from the office; a poor
woman iu rags, with a baby folded in
among them, hurrying up stairs to find
the.,criminal husband aud father, and
cheer I)is despairing heart, and report
the state of the children without; here,
too, in contrast, an unmistakable Fanny
Dorrit dropped in to a morning call
upon her Sparkler—no tears, no tender
ness, “ no bigod nonsense," as DickeDS
has it, trigly aud daintily dressed, chaf
fing gaily with her husband and his
companions, her hard bright eyes flash
ing. It was sad indeed to witness the
degree of their induration to the expe
rience; but again, a sweet-faced and
sad-voiced daughter appeared, and held
close counsel with her futher in the
corner, restoring one’s faith in the best
and truest side of human nature. But
my friends began to pour in so fast now
that I had no time to watch those of
the others. From now till the hour of
release their carriages rolled up every
few minutes.
Dr. Holland writes that if one wants
to get acquainted with Americans, the
simplest way is to go to Europe. Isay,
if you would know your friends, get
imprisoned in a New York jail.
The humor of the thing was gone
now—the pathos had begun; what
Fisk’s night had utterly failed to ac
complish, this morn iug’s foray of friends
most easily and sweetly did. Tnere
was a race of bail bonds; Mr. Seward,
taking the real estate along iu
his carriage, came in ahead of Col. Bliss,
who had to go after his; and after pay
ing the jailer $17.50 for my room and
breakfast—most excellent tea and toast,
I am bound to say —and $£ for jail fees,
my prisou doors swung ojien, and my
night in jail was ended. There
are a good many hotels in New
York at which one can pay a great deal
of money for very small accommoda
tions ; but the Ludlow Street Jail seems
to me to surpass them all in thatreeard.
With such elements of generous in
come, it can hardly be excusable for the
Republican Legislature at Albany this
winter to swell Sheriff O’Brien’s fees,
and carry his income up from its present
$120,000 to its desired $150,000. What
cost me $19.50 has probably cost him
$25,000; and judging from the tenden
cies ofpublic opinion, others of the cir
cle of Nionspirators against a country
editor’s liberty will pay dearly for this
little whistle. Their fun culminated at
Mr. Augustus L. Brown’s party the
night before—mine is apparently not
likely ever to cease. Fpr such experi
ence as this, with ito-mumor and its
Dathos, its study of a rare phase of
aumau life, its wealth of friendly feal
ing, will be an unending source of pleas
ure and of profit.
There are serious questions started by
this experience, involving the adminis
tration of the law in New York, the
power aud responsibilities of the press,
and their connection with the corrup
tions that infest our politics and our
business. It is my fortune to have be
come the victim of a proceeding that is
arousing a closer attention to and a
sharper discussion of them than any
more impersonal though perhaps'more
important event could have doner \Y hat
fixes the thought of every citizen in
tne matter is that an outrag&sjatf per
sonal rights and liberty has been perpe
trated for a mere personal revenge and
spite, and that what was done to me by
connivance of Court and Sheriff, may be
clone to any other citizen, high or low,
rich or poor, by any personal enemy
who can commaud or purchase influence
with the officials. As.between my ene
my in this case and myself, the triumph
is mine, the loss his. He sought to
disgrace me, foolishly supposing that
one man can disgrace another. Had he
been wiser or had wiser counsel, he
would have known that no man can be
disgraced but by himself. S. B.
Quinine is produced from a forest tree
in South America, kn uwn as the chin
chona.of which there are many varieties,
but the chichona cansaycC, and chin
chona rubra , yield the medicine in
greatest abundance. So great has been
tbe demand that, in mostof the districts
whence it ha 9 been obtained, the sup
plies are gradually diminishing; and, as
no substitute oi equal value is likely to
be found, it is of the utmost importance
that new sources shall be discover
ed. In Jamaica, the chichona rubra
has been cultivated sufficiently to
show that it will grow well on that
Island, and the Government is urged to
encourage and assist in its cultivation
on an extended scale. It seems how
ever, that only, upon mountains from
1,500 to 2,000 feet high, where the for
ests are often bedewed with mist, does
this tree arrive to a perfection that will
make its cultivation profitable; but
there are several sections on the Island
which will answer the requirements.
Besides, there are other Islands in this
quarter of the world where similar con
ditions prevail, and if doe efforts are
made, tne world’s supply of quinine
may continne unexhausted.

Cariosities of Speculation.
i People who hear, nowadays, of the
'speculative and ruinous “corners" of
i the Chicago grain mark at, or the end
; less fever of the fortune-hunting that
; consumes the bulls and bears of Wall
: street, seldom think of the fact that the
i same things were done, with the telf
! same results, centuries ago. In the
j palmy daysoftheSonth Sea Company’s !
! great success in England, fortunes were j
made and lost with u rapidity unsur-.
passed by any modern speculations on I
record. The stock of that famous com- J
pany sold, at one time, at nine hundred j
per cent., or about six hundred per cent. \
higher than was reached by the most I
successful stock known to Wall street!
during the war —the Pacific Mail Steam-1
ship Company —which was quoted at j
3:21} in 1865. The latter stock has since '
sold as low as S 5, but the decline iu the !
cfouth Sea Company's shares was so far J
greater that, upon the final compound
ing of its affairs in 1720, the proprietors
and subscribers generally received a di
vidend of only 33 per cent.
The orij|yi of the South Sea Compa
ny and its name, curiously enough,
rested upon a scheme of trade with the
western coasts of South America. The
early Spanish conquests in Peru and
Mexico, with their golden dreams of in
exhaustible mining wealth, were be
ginning to be abaadoned. In place of
the Spanish indolence*aud incapacity,
British pluck and enterprise and thrift
began to turn towards the undeveloped
riches of South America. The manu
facturers of England were to be sent to
the coasts and exchanged for the gold
and silver ingots of the natives. It
was reported that Spaiu was about to
open four ports on the coasts of Chile
and Peru to the trade of the world,,
which meant, at that time, to English
commerce. In 1711 the company was
formed, under the direct auspices of the
celebrated Harley, Earl of Oxford, in
corporated by act of Parliament, and
granted a monopoly of trade to the
South Seas.
At once, the most visionary ideas of
the future wealth and power of this
new company took possession of men’s
minds. It was to revolutionize the
commerce of the globe, and to wrest,
ultimately, the dominion of the South
American continent from bpain. It
mattered not that bpain had been,
hitherto, found obdurate to all over
tures lor sharing her highly profitable
trade with other nations. It mattered
Dot that the only fruit of the so much
vaunted liberality which had now taken
possession of her was the celebrated As
siento contract, of the privilege of sup
plying the colonies with African slaves
for thirty years. It mattered not that
she had reluctantly granted permission
for only one trading vessel, per annum,
to enter her ports in Peru and Chile,
aud whose ventures, moreover, it was
stipulated that theKingof Spain should
share one-fourth of the'profits. The
present discouragements, were all swal
lowed up iu the great expectations of
the future. The remote and unknown
character of the enterprise lent enchant
ment to the golden visions of its par
ticipants. The old proverb “omne ig
notum pro magnifico n was realized in
the splendid schemes of the promoters
af the South SeACompauy, who already
saw themselves, in imagination, rolling ,
in bounnless wealth. j
In 1717, it was found that the trade '
with tiie bouth American Statesw&l j
producing little or no revenue t<Wh£ !
company, and Parliament was applied!
to increase its stock to twelve millions j
sterling. It then stood at £10,000,0(3(1, |
and, as a bait to induce the increase of
capital stock, the South SeaCompauy
agreed to advance the sum of two mil
lions toward tbepaymentof thenati- m
al debt, and to receive five per cent, in- j
terest in lieu of six, which the nation :
then paid to the Bank of Eughu.d. The !
proposal was accepted by act of Parlia- !
ment, and, as the Mississippi scheme of j
John Law was just in tbe high tide of;
success in France, the directors of the J
South Sea Company determined that j
British enterprise and love of specula
tion should be appealed to in order to
float their project into equal favor. They
made a magnificent beginning. When
their stock was still not much above par,
they proposed to assume the holding of
the whole national debt of England,
then amounting to £31,000,000, on which
they would be content to receive five
per cent, until the year 1727, after
which they would reduce the in
terest to four, aud the whole made re- I
deemable at the pleasure of Parliament.
The scheme was a brilliant one, but
was contested by the Bank of England
and by Sir Robert Walpole, against an
unprecedented weight of outside pres
sure aud lobby influence. Walpole, in
solemn language, warned the Commons
of the daugerous tendency of the scheme.
It would influence, he predicted, “ the
dangerous practice of stock jobbing, and
would divert the nation from trade and
industry. It would decoy the unwary
to tbeir ruin ; the directors would be
come masters of the government, form
a new aristocracy in the kingdom, and
if it failed, as he predicted it would, the
result would bring general discontent 1
aud ruin upon the country.”
The bill was two months in getting
through Parliament. Its passage being
reported as certain, every means was
adopted in advance to inflate the price
of shares. The most extravagant
rumors were circulated. The bouth Sea
Company would soou be the richest
association in the world, and every hun
dred pounds invested in it would be
trebled or quadrupled to the stockhold
ers. The stock was actually raised to
four hundred by blowing these and
similar bubbles in the dazzled eyes of |
the credulous public. Its fluctuations i
were at the same time enormous, aud it!
had settled down to three hundred aud
thirty when the.bill finally passed the
Commons by a vote of one hundred and
seventy-two to fifty-five. The Lords
passed it a few days later, and it re
ceived the royal assent. Upon this the
mania of speculation rose at once to
fever heat. It actually seemed as if the
whole sober English race had turned
stock jobbers. 'Everybody rushed to
buy South Sea Btock at a premium
of four hundred, five hundred and
six hundred per cent. Great lords
forgot their estates and their hunt
ing and became close observers of the
iluctualing prices of shares. Noble
ladies came in their carriages to Ex
change alley (then the Wall street of
London) aud invested thousands of
pounds iu the magical paper certificates
ofsfock, Clergymen left the care of
Borquadruple theirsalar
lys of lucky speculation.
» community was so de
e mania that all other
d to be totally neglected,
is heard on ’Change, but
r of fortunes acquired by
the successful speculators in “South
Sea.” The directors of the company
took advantage of the fever, to make
hay while the sun shone. They dis
posed of two million new stock, at 400
per cent, premium, in a day. they
issued more and still more of the cov
eted shares, and it was actually compu
ted that two-thirds of the government
annuitants bad exchanged securities of
the state for those of the bouth Sea
Company. In four days the stock rose
suddenly from 550 to S9O. It now came
to be thought that the shares go
no higher, and some cautious holders
sold out. Pretty soon so many sellers
were found, and so few buyers, thatthe
wonderful stock fell in one day from
596 to 640. During the whole of the
succeeding month the stock fell steadi
ly, until it stood at 400. In Coxe’s life
of Walpole we find the following:
“ Various are the conjectures why the
South Sea directors have 'suffered the
clouds to break so early. They have
stretched credit so far beyond what it.
would bear, that specie proves insuffi
cient to support it. Thousands of fam
ilies will be reduced to beggary. The
consternation is inexpressible, the rage
beyond description, the case desperate.
The very name of .a South Sea man
grows abominable. From the very be
ginning I founded my judgment of the
whole affair upon the unquestionable
maxim that ten millions, which is more
than our running cash, could not circu
late two-hundred millions, beyond
which our paper credit extended.
The alarm now became general. For
tunes were being lost daily. The di
rectors could not appear in the streets
without being insulted. Many great
bankers and merchants absconded,
being unable to face their creditors.
The stock fell to one hundred and fifty,
and finally to one hundred and thirty
five. Aid was sought in the crisis from
the Bank of England, the hated rival
of the South Sea Company j but that
institution could do no more than to
take care of itself. Petitions poured
into Parliament from bankrupt thou
sands, praying for relief, and for the
; punishment of the South Sea directors.
I A blind, indiscriminate cry of ven
j geance bufst from a people bankrupted
Iby their own folly. A Parliamentary
j inquiry Was immediately instituted.—
! The directors of the company were re
strained from leaving the kingdom.
! The public excitement was extreme.
. Parliament reflected the popular rage,
! aud the South Sea directors who
j were members of that body were
; ignominiously expelled. Sir John
| Blunt, oDe of the leading directors, a
j millionaire and a Parisian, died in
I prison. It came out that fictitious stock,
I to the amount of over a million sterling,
i had been used to promote the passage
I°f the bill. Mobs now assembled in
| various quarters of London, and fears
jof riot were entertained. Parliament
j instituted the strictest scrutiny into tbe
private affairs of every man who had
been a directorin the ill-fated company,
and a sum amounting to £2,014.000 (or
over $10,000,000) was confiscated from
their estates toward repairing the mis
chief they had done. U pward of £5,000,-
000 more was taken irom the company
iu its corporate capacity, and divided
among the subscribers generally, mak
ing a dividend of about thirty-three per
cent. This was some relief, although
slight, when the enormous premium at
which the public became possessed of
the stock is considered. It was long
before public credit was fully restored ;
and Englishmen now live who have
cause to execrate the day when their
ancestors lent their faith and their for
tunes to the So.uth Sea bubble of a cen
tury and a half ago.
The Bones of Braddock,
Among the many things which time
has brought to light is the answer to the
oft-repeated query, ‘ k Who killed Brad
dock ? M During that memorable retreat
of the British and Provincial troops,
Braddock ordered that his men should
not protect themselves behind trees.
One Joseph Fausett presumed to dis
obey this order, when Braddock, in a
passion, struck him down with his
sword. Tom Fausett, who was but a
short distance from his brother, saw the
whole transaction, and immediately
shot the General through the luDgs.
The Hon. A. Stewart of Uniontown,
Pennsylvania, says his father often
! heard Fausett acknowledge this. After
Braddock fell his body was carried by
the troops for four days, when lie ex
pired.
He was interred in the middle of the
road, so that all of the soldiers, wagons
and horses might pass over and obliter
ate all vestiges of his grave from the
eyes of the savages. Abouttwenty-nine
years ago some laborers, who were re
pairing the road, came upon the re
mains, aud after takinganumberof the
most prominent bones, reiuterred the
others. Some time afterward the scat
tered bones were collected and sent to
Peale’s Museum, which was in Phila
delphia at that time. Braddock’s grave
is in Fayette county, Pennsylvania,
and is marked by a plain shingle nailed
to a tree, where part of the bones are in
terred. This is the only monument
which serves to point out to the traveler
the last resting place of the proud and
brave, but unfortunate victim of Indian
warfare.
Tonngr Man Hilled by a Fire Rochet.
Not a lew of our readers will grieve to
learn of a melancholy occurrence which it
is feared, may result in the death of a most
estimable young gentleman of this city.—
Between six and seven o’clock last night,
while Mr. Reuben Pattison, the well known
bookseller, was walking on Main street, in
front of the Oak Hall clothing store, he was
struck down by a sky-rocket fired by some
i >ne from outside the confectiouery.under the
Odd Fellows’ Hall, immediately opposite.
The missile, instead of shooting upwards,
as intended, whizzed across the street, strik
ing young Pattison fall upon the side of the
cnlf of the left leg. It passed through, ex
ploding after striking, tore away the flesh,
and ligaments in great masses, and severed
the main artery. An incision was thus made
nearly two inches in depth, and extending
for severariucbea either way, revealing a
most frightful gash. Mr. Pattison fell on
the pavement ustbough pierced by a bullet.
His companion—himself grazed on the
knee by the terrible missile after it passed
through the other’s leg—sprang to his as
sistance, and was shocked to discover that
Mr. P. was bleeding profusely. The wound
ed young man was carried into the clothing
store, where a tourniquet was hastily im
provised and applied to the leg in the hope
of staunching the blood until medical as
sistance could be procured. Dra. K. W.
Mitchell and J. W. Erskine soon arrived.
They were joined by others, and during Ihe
entire night the c.ise was receiving tbeir
attention. Mr. Pattison lay motionless
and pallid on the bare floor. *lt wasa long
time before the flow of blood could bestop
ed. and its loss rendered him very weak.
The striking and explosion of the rocket
had shocked hi& nervous system, and caus*
ed him to sink alarmingly. Early in the
evening the surgeons had partly decided
that an immediate amputation was neces
sury to save the sufferer’s life, and in re
sponse to a question from him one of them
bade him prepare for such a contingency,
a feeble groan was the only response. Mr.
Pattison rested better, having been placed
under the influence of opiates necessary to
lessen the pain. The great loss of blood
and naturally delicate physique of the sul
ferer rendered it evident that without a
reaction it were impossible to attempt an
amputation without seriously endangering
his life. Nothing of that kind had been
done up to 1 o’clock lhts morning. At that
time it was feared that dissolution was ap
proaching, and we should not be surprised
to learn this morning that his agonies had
been relieved by death. Reuben Pattison
has barely attained his majority. Though
fragile, he possesses, to a more than ordin
ary extent, the buoyancy of spirit inciden
tal to youth and an ardent temperament.
Only yesterday be spoke to the writer of
“Christmas,” of the joys and pleasures in
store for him this day, to whose advent he
looked forward with almost the exuberant
glee of u child. In a moment joyful antic
ipations were changed to agony ; and in
stead of the glad welcomes of friends, have
come the sighs and tears of those near and
dear to him. It were scarcely possible to
conceive of a dispension more sad —one
which could occasion greater genuine sor
row’ thau will this tragic occurrence.—
Memphis Avalanche.
The Case of Geo. W. Alexander.
Id the U. S. District Court, yesterday, the
case of G. W. Alexander came ud for final
disposition. The defendant, while Assessor
of the Eighth (Berks County) Collection
District, was alleged to have connived at
the removal of whisky in fraud of the reve
nue, and the jury found him guilty of that
offence, with a recommendation to mercy.
Reasons were filled for a new trial, and
argued fully before Judge Cudwaider by
Messrs. Bull and Hughes. Mr. Hoffman,
one of the counsel for the defence, wrote his
argumentin support of the mot'on.and sub
mitted it to the Court. Yesterday.atter Judge
Cadwalador had gone over the written argu
ment, he said that there was but one point in
the caseabnut which he had any doubt, und
that was in respect to the bill of indictment.
The only authority cited was against the mo
tion, and that, bethought, must govern him
in deciding the question. That the convic
tion was a proper one upon the merits of the
case be had no doubt whatever. The returns,
offered in evidence, the letters of the defend
ant, and the testimony of Mr. Jacobs, satis •
fied him, beyond all doubt, of Col. Alex
ander's guilt. The sentence which he had
announced previously must stand, there
fore—a fine of one thousand dollars and an
imprisonment of one year.
Mr. Bull called attention to the act of
Cougress, under which the indictment was
drawn, as fixingthe maximum punishment
at one year’s imprisonment, or one thousand
dollars fine. The Judge then directed the
clerk to record the sentence to be imprison
ment of one year.
A Texas Tragedy.
Here is the latest story of Texan life:
Miss Guest and a young lady friend Miss
Seals, having paid a visit on horseback to
the familyofMr. Lenore, in Brazos County,
that gentleman, on their return, escorted
them home. Miss Guest was in the habit
of wearing a small Derringer pistol, having
had to travel alone to Eastern Texas not
long after the war closed. She bad it on her
person at the time in question. As they
were ridiDg alone this pistol, from some
cause, exploded, and so wounded one of
Miss Guest’s fingers that it had to be re
moved by amputation. During her con
finement from, this hurt, she was visited
by Mrs. Lenore, and urged to visit
her again when she recovered. When she
had recovered-, she and Miss Seals again
visited the house of Mr. Lenore. While
there a game at cards waß proposed. While
Mr. Lenore wd£ assorting the cards from
the drawer of a table, Miss Seals was stand
ing by his side, and Miss Guest rather be
hind him, he espied his pistol in th£ drawer,
and handing it over his shoulder to .Mies
Guest, remarked, “bow does this''pistol
compare with yours?” She took it, aci
while examining it the pistol went off, k it
ing Mr. Lenore instantly. Although there
is nothing in all this to give any plausibility
even to an accnsation of wrong intent, yet
some of the friends of the unfortunate de
ceased prosecuted Miss Guest for murder.
But the prosecution came to nothing. The
District Attorney entered a nolle prosequi,
although the defense demanded a trial.
Miss Guest is reported to be a young lady
of high standing and good culture.

The steamship Weser, from Bremen Dec,
12, and Southampton 15th, with merchan
dise and 222 passengers, arrived at Phila
delphia Inst week. Our files by this arrival
come down to the 15th. The Glasgow Her
ald publishes the narrative of Mr.-Davies,
the second officer of the Hibernia, who had
such a murvellous escape in one of the ship’s
boats. He says:
“When we left the Hibernia we had in
our boat two barrels of biscuit, three casks
of water, and several ling of preserved meat
Two hours after leaving the ship we found
the boat was so full that we deemed it ne
cessary to throw onooftbe barrels of biscuit
overboard to make room for ihe passengers.
The boat was a lifeboat, twenty-two feet
long, with six or seven feet beam. One
woman bad two children, of three and five
years old respectively, and another an in
fant of six months old. Our boat was leak
ing badly when we started, and it required
two men constantly -bailing to keep her
afloat. Soon after leaving ibe Hibernia,
we fell astern of tbo other boats, being
only able to pull two oars, owing to mir
crowded condition. When the first
mate’s boat was capsized, we attempted
to get round to.nssist them, but, being
nearly swamped in doing so, wo were
obliged to attend to our own safety. Dur
ing that day we pulled before the wind,
but at nigbt we lay to by means of a float
ing anchor, and endeavored to make the
boat as trim as possible. We tried to make
the women as comfortable as we could by
spreading tarpaulins over the forward part
of the bout. Nobody asked to get anything
to eat the first day, all being too anxious to
think of eating. On the following (Thurs
day) morning we got a lugsail set on the
boat, ami made tho best of our wuy for the
Irish coast, before a southwesterly breeze.
Nnthiug of note occurred that day, but the
following night (Friday) an old man, who
had shown symptoms of derangement,
jumped overboard, snyine ho was going to
bed. On the third day the breeze fell very
light, and we bad to take tu the oara. Next
morning, one ot the passengers, supposed
to be Francis Rodgers, suddenly threw
himself overboard. A woman, supposed to
be his sister, pleaded bard that someof us
should throw her into tho sea afterhim ; but
we endeavored to soothe her and succeeded
in some degree. Rodgers was evidently
out of his senses. He had quarrelled with
us because we nailed the compass to the
thwarts. Ho wanted the knees of his trou
sers darned, as “ he could not,” ho suid,
“go home with holes in them.” Up to this
time provisions had been given in moderate
quantities, and euch person had a daily al -
lowance of a pint of water. Wo had now
to shorten Ibe allowance. Wo had to keep
pulling both on the fourth and fifth days,
aud did not make make much progress.
Sunday was calirt all day. The children
hitherto had been tolerably lively. The in
fant was led on mashed biscuit, its mother
haviug no milk, and ttie others got bUcuit
and preserved meat, with a small quantity
of preserved fruit. The want of sufficient
water now began to be felt; and owing to
the close packing of all in the boat and the
frequent wettings, cramps were very gen
eral. We were forced to keep everything
in one position as much as possible to avoid
capsizing. Up to the Monday no one had
seriously complained of the discomforts, and
ail were iu tolerable spirits. The seamen
did all in their power to inspire hope , and
the quartermaster, Blair, spun yarns to
keep their spirits up. On the Wednesday,
the second engineer sang the 100th Psalm,
and many joined with him. That day
the wind blew bard from the south
west, and we had to bring the boat
to by using the sail, and two of our
oars as a floating anchor, and in doing so
lost both sail and oars. It was useless to
seek for them, it being now dark, so we
bad to make a sail out of a piece of tar
paiilin, and be content with one oar and a
half that we had with us in the boat. The
wind blowing fiercely, the tarpaulin was
torn into rags, and we substituted for it bed
covers. These latter were also soon de
stroyed. Samuel Brewster, an old man,
died on Wednesday, after going raving mad.
Many of our number now showed signs ot
madness, probably from despair" and ex
posure to extreme cold.' Some became
violeut and threatening in their conduct,
and we had to use force with.certain of them,
and gradually we got them calmed down.
Early on Thursday morning, a child, five
years of age, died ; and shortly afterwards
its mother expired. Another child took
lockjaw, and died also. The bodies were
thrown overboard. Tho effect on the sur
vivors was very visible. All this time we
were making slow progress toward the
Irish coast. The lorn larpauiin
mended iu the best fashion we could, and
served iu a kind of way for a lugsail. Pro
visions and water wyre now given in small
quantity. One of the barrels of biscuits was
found to bo much soaked with sea water,
and one of the tresh water caskshad leaked
half of iu contents. We had to disregard
the appeals lor drink, and tbo consequence
was that several seamen among the rest
took to quenching their thirst with salt
water, in spite of our romous&ancoa. This
was continued until a numfiergot perfectly
mad. Walter McFarlane; fireman, wtrir
oue of those who persisted in taking salt
water, and bis conduct became so danger
ously outrageous t at be had to be tied to
the bottom. He died in this state. On Fri
day morning we had sailed 450 miles. The
tarpaulin sail had given way hal. a
dozen times, and as often mended, and
on the w hole the boat bad gone very well.
Tbislday the infant died. Our situation
bad Become miserable in the extreme. The
sea was breaking over tbe boat in clouds of
spray, wetting every ODe to the skin, and all
were silling in pools of water. There was
nothing now to cover the women, as we
had used everything for sails. Crump had
seized all of us more or less, ami our legs
uud hands were greatly swelled, and con
sequently very painful. The fresh water
was so scarce that less than a pint had to
serve four persons for a day, and provisions
were equally scunty. Some of us were
raving aud violently mad. A woman died
as tbe evening closed in, but the fact was
not noticed at the time, and the body was
still In the boat wheD the greatest ol all our
calamities occurred. About J 1 o’clock a
heavy wave struck the boat, and those on
board in their drowsy condition falling sud
denly in a mass to the lee side, she went over,
andal! were left strugglingin the wuler. The
bout floated upwards, and Reilly managed
to struggle up and seat himself on tbe keel.
He assisted Blair to get up, which tbe lat
ter did with some difficulty,*’us a drowning
passenger had laid hold of his leg. Reilly
then assisted Mr, Davies, who had nlso to
shake himself clear of some one clinging to
his foot. No others got hold of ibe boat,
though several were heard shouting or
swearing as they swam übout in tbe dark
ness. One poor soul had got under the bout
and he was heard for nearly half an hour.
He was apparently holding on by the
thwarts, and breathing the air which had
been enclosed when the boat rolled over, or
which reached him through the chinks in
her limbers. About 12 o’clock a heavy sea
struck the boat, and the three who were sit
tirig astride of the keel were again immersed
iu the water. Blair was tho first to recover
his position, and by his assistance the other
two men were bright up on the boat. The
sail was floating alongside, and we got hold
of the ropes attached to the mast, and
watching for a lavorableopportunity, mun
aged by pulliogupon ihe ropes to get the
boat righted. She was, of course, full of
water, and we balled hei at first with flat
pieces of wood, and ufterwards with two tin
cans which we found attached to the
thwarts. At length by hard labor we got
'her clear. Everything was lost out of tbe 1
'boat except one oar, tbe mast, the tarpaulin
sail, and the yard, and we were thu3 left
without provisions or water. When day
light broke we again made sail upon the 1
boat as well as we could, and again '
steered our course to tbe eastward with '
favorable wind. By Sunday evening
we were beainniDg to get down-hearted. 1
We saw a sail—tbe first we had seen—but 1
she did not observe us, and darkness short- , 1
ly afterwards closing in, we had no light
with which to attract attention. We were
downcast at this, bat about 6 o’clock we
were suddenly cheered by seeing a light to :
the eastward: which turned out to be from
Tory Island Lighthouse. We made for the
light, though it was blowing strongly from
the southwest, with a heavy sea running.
On getting close to the land, we found our
selves among dangerous breakers, and were
forced tomukeour way out again to save our
lives. We ran out some five miles and
brought too to wait tor daylight. About this
time some heavy showers fell, the first of any
conseqaence that we had met with since the
wreck, and wo employed every means with
in our reach to catch a little fresh water, of
which we stood so terribly in need. At day
light on Monday morning weonce more set
our sail and made for the land, determined
to get ashore al all hazards. We ran along
the shore for some distance till we saw a
likely place in Mulroy Bay, on the west
side of Fannet Point Having a favoring .
breeze, we ma<io a race for the shore, and
ran the boat up with such force that the
receding wave left her stern dry upon the
beach. After coming ashore, we found our
limbs swollen to such an extent that It was
utterly impossible to move.” The three
survivors, Davies, Blair and Reilly, were
removed from Fannet to Londonderry on
Friday.
