MODERN CRUSOE.
THE LOSS OF THE MEdERA.
The Hegeora sailed from England in
February, in a very unacaworthy condi
tion, owing to the neglect of the British
naval authorities. When off tho island
of St. Paul in the South Pacific Ocean
' about 1,800 miles from Australia the
ship was found leaky and breaking up,
and it was determined to abandon her.
Captain Thrupp tells, in the form of a
diary, the following interesting story of
the landing of the crew on the island of
St. Paul, and how they lived there a
month :
On Sunday (June 18,) at 9:15 A. M I
turned the hands up, read prayers, and
then informed the ship's company that
the ship was not lit to proceed on her
voyage, and ordered provisions and stores
to be at once landed.
At about noon the divers succeeded in
putting a plate on, and nearly stopped
the leak. I then got a Frenchman liv
ing here to pick out a nearer berth for
the ship to the shore, where the whalers
generally anchor, that the anchor might
not get foul of the rocks ; we shifted into
8 fathoms, sandy bottom, with good
shelter from the Ninepin lljck.
We landed most of our provisions the
first day, and employed the men at night
filling coal-bags ready to be landed in
the morning, we also Kept men at
work clearing the store-rooms and troop
decks, and everything we could from the
lower part of the ship, keeping the
pumps going at the same time.
At daylight on Tuesday, the 20th of
June, lowered boats, and went on land
ing stores all day ; during the night we
had been hoisting all we could above the
water. Many casks of lime, paint, oil,
are under water, some shell and powder
The sails were all saved, and most of the
slops and bales ; some are wet aud dam
aged. I hope to get up many t&ings yet
by using the diver. Tuougn wina and
beer stores of all sorts were landed to
gether, I have not heard of anything
being misting or any drunkenness, the
otnuers Hnd men both working willingly.
Some officers were filling coal-bags,
working under the main deck, where we
had opened it to get out coal for con
densing.
There are several sheds aud houses on
shore that, with tents, have enabled us
to get many stores under cover. Two
shore beats were manned, leaded and
discharged by some of the officers entire
ly.
We have about 18,000 pounds of broad,
and about six weeks' flour. Sj the men
are on one-third allowance of these pro
visions, or, using one bag per diem, they
will last 130 days. We have found 3.C00
pounds of rice on the island beside. Of
rum and other provisions we have more
than tour months . Any quantity ol nsb
Gray fish can be caught, and water, our
chief difficulty, has been louud in abund
ance. Twenty men can fetch for every
one in two hours. This is rain water,
but it rains frequently during the next
lour months.
June 21. The draft of water, 12 feet
9 inohee forward, 13 feet engine-room,
17 teet o inohes att. Punished Jethro
Spear, ordinary second class (second
class for conduct,) with 4S lashes tor re
fusing to work. This is the only case of
insubordination that has occurred.
The condensing arrangements are now
complete. Three hundred gallons with
coal, 120 gallons with turf, can bo made
daily ; but as long as a supply can be
obtained from the wells by means of
hoses, we do not intend to use any coals ;
the turf cut aud dried we find answers
for fuel, using a little wood as well.
This afternoon all the men, with their
bags and hammocks, are under tents and
well protected from tho weather, though
about 40 men and 13 officers are Btill
living on board. As soon as sufficient
tents and houses are erected, all will be
landed. They are quite ablo at present
to live on board, but the smell ot bilge
water is increasing. I therefore propose
in a few days to land every one.
Sunday, June 25. Read prayers on
board. The wind very light, I consider
it to be the cause of heavy roller coin
ing in, there being no lee side to the
island unless a strong westerly wind is
blowing. The c rat-lieutenant read
prayers on shore. During the afternoon
the weather was better'for landing. Ko
work was carried on, the day being Sun
dy.
Monday, 26. Sent a party of 100
men to finish hoisting up a studding-sail
boom for a ting-staff ; signal-men and a
party of marines to carry water from the
water-pools to the starting hoae at the
top of the clin, obi) teet above the ship,
are quartered there under canvas, with
turt ales to their tents.
We have completed the length of hose
the whole distance, 800 feet, to the camp
this day, and the water runs down freely
iu about ten minutes, boiug a great sav
ing of sending men all the way to the
top with barriooes.
It is estimated that there are about
100 wild goats on the island, a Urge
quantity of mushrooms, soma few cab
bages and potatoes. There are hot
fresh-water springs, strongly impreg
nated with sulphur, aud not healthy to
drink, but very well suited for washing,
with a clay close to it that lathers well
and makes excellent soap. This spring
is within a quarter of a mile of the en
campment.
There are only five men at present on
the sick list with sores ana wounds.
The climate., as far as we can judge at
rrasent, is very healthy ; gieat care has
been taken that any men getting wet
are immediately shifted.
One red light has been seen at night,
and two ships passed the island on Fri
day, the 23d inst. We fired gum and
sent a boat out, but they passed too far
off to recall them. A " sea message" hat
been prepared, tnd wo trust to send it
adrift shortly, as won as using two lite
buoys for the same purpose.
Juno 29. Commenced building large
barracks; abandoned ship! all hands

F. 8 Oth of July. 1871. Encam pod
at St, Paul's. The divers have been at
work tver since the 27th of June; they
could not get into the magazine, but
have recovered from the fore part of the
ship a great quantity of the cargo. In
one day they got up three ooils oi rope,
four wooden casks, twolve bales, two
rolls of lead, two tubes, fourteen casks of
oil, eleven oasks of tar. This was the
most reoovered in any one day. Some
of the wet bales contained hammocks,
others canvas, flags, stockings, serge and
duck ; these are all being opened, dried,
and sewn up in canvas. JN early all the
marine clothing packed up in casks
could cot be got at before the ship
grounded ; they are noarly all wet and
not fit for issue. Cases of mess traps
have been opened, oiled, and repacked,
more or less damaged. Th9 new sails
for the Cilo, Blanche, and Rosario, I had
hoped to save from being used at all ;
but the weather is so oold, and the
Megrcra's sails so thin and worn, the
men getting wet at night, that I reluc
tantly gave permission lor these new
sails to be used to cover stores and tents,
with orders not to cut any of them ; but
I am afraid they will get very much
damaged from exposure to tho weather.
It is a question ot health or saving
of sails ; I think the former most
important. Every bit of canvas, ex
cept new in bolts, has been used to shel
ter men and officers. Probably they
will be h ere for many months. The
thermometer is below forty-eight de
grees at night, and the weather wet and
stormy. A leading stoker got wet in
his tent last night, and is sutlering acute
ly from rheumatism ; others .have had
diarrhoea, and some slight attacks of
dysentery among the officers; but there
are only eight on the sick list at pres
ent, owing to the great care of the med
ical men attending, inspecting, and see
ing tents are kept clean and dry.
On Thursday, the Cth of July, a large
old building, containing stores and can
dles, was blown down by the violence of
the wind. The men inside escaped with'
out injury, crawling out from among
the ruins; it was built ot loose stones.
The same day I had to recall the
working party from the ship, because
the bar was so cold. Many of the roads
have been repaved and pieces of ground
leveled ready for building. One or two
small houses of stone have been erected,
as well as those for the officers. Parties
of men and officers are fishing in boats,
and fish caught are served out by the
ship 8 steward, one pound to each man
as far as they will go. From 100 to 150
pounds are caught by this means every
day. bun, having been here now three
weeks, and not having been able to
send word of our want of provisions, I
have thought it advisable to reduce the
allowance of provisions. The men nave)
now only four ounces of biscuit, half a
pound of salt or prt served meat, halt an
ailowanc of tea every othtr day, quar
ter allowance only ot sugar. jiaie-
juice, without sugar, is served up every
other day. No flour issued at all ; but,
having plenty of cocoa, they have that
instead ot their tea every tber night.
The men's clothes suffer very much
from the hard work they have had, car
rying water barricoes, digging, cutting
turf, rolling casks, working in mui
over their boots or: shoes. I have order
ed canvas leggings to be made to save
their trowsers. The boats require con
stant repair ; one cutter, a very old boat.
is so damaged that she cannot be repair
ed. A great number of bottles, weight
ed with load, with a tin flag above the
cork, containing an account of our posi
tion, have been thrown overboard from
our lite-boat some miles out to eea, as
well us a life-buoy and a burrtcoe ; more
bottles are ready, and will be sent from
time to time.
A second tank has been strengthened
to use as a boiler, another suuk below
high water mark for condensing, and an
additional quantity of piping laid dowu
by the engineers. The men are also em
ployed in cutting, drying, aud stacking
turt.
The blacksmiths are constantly em
ployed repairing spades ; nearly all we
had have been broken. Our work is
much delayed by the few picks and
spades we have.
Parties have been sent out to collect
different grasses, with herbs, dande
lions, and other substitutes for ordinary
vegetables that can be found, to prevent
the men from suffering from scurvy, as
there is very littlo lime-juice leit. They
have succeeded in cooking some tolera
ble vegetables. The weather has been
very ' cold indeed below 42 degrees,
with snow lying on the ground at the
signal-station; continued hail in squalls
for nearly a week, accompanied by wild,
stormy weather. During the ' bad
weathtr very few fish have been caught.
The crew remained on the island,
looking anxiously for a sail, until J uly
16, a month after they had sighted land,
when a vessel was reported iu sight. It
proved to be the Aurora, a Dutch ship
and a life boat, with Lieutenant Jones
on board, was sent to communicate with
her. The life-boat returned, leaving
Lieutenant Joneu on the Aurora, and
brought word that the Aurora would
take 20 men. The Aurora, however,
disappeared in the night, but Lieuteu
ant Jones, on reaching laud, sent a ves
gel to the relief of the Meguera's ill
fated crew.
A Man wilh a tYateh-Kc-y in His Lung.
The Hertford Timet has the following
Mr. Eci Hampstead died a short time
since in Nw Haven from a most singu
lar cause. Siuie years ago he was at
tacked with insanity and was sent to the
Iusane Retreat in this city. While there
he pushed a watch-kt y up his nose, and
alter his recovery informed his pbysi
ciau what he hud done. An effort was
made to get it out, without success. He
left the Retreat, aud nothing further
was done to remove the article, though
he occasionally spoke of feulinz it. Iu a
year or two he was attacked with
sharp pain at the lower part of the right
lung. He suffered from it for some
time, when it paBsed away, aud for two
years he enjoyed good health. A few
weeks ago he went to New Haven with
an invoice of produce, and while en
gaged in lifting barrels was again at
tacked with pain aud bleeding from the
lungs. lie was taken to his father's
house, where in a few days he died. Ilia
case was so singular that the physicians
made a post mortem examination, when
they found the key in the lower part of
the lung and surrounded by a lump lit
a state of mortification. The ke y had
dropped out of the nose through the
wiudpipe into the lung, and had re
mained there over four years.
FARM AM) HOUSEHOLD,
llov Dbbp Should Milk Be Bet ?
For years this has boon a mooted ques
tion with butter makers. But tho gen
eral practice has been to put about 2J
Inches of milk in each vessel in summer,
and about S in winter. Experiments
made with great care tho summer past
have proved the error of this usage, aud
it is now generally conceded that more
cream and better can be secured by al
lowing the milk to stand in deep pails.
A correspondents of The J Curat, JSetc-
Yorler sends the results of two experi
ments as follows :
The first series of experiments was
made at Hummerson & Wylly's dairy in
Liittie Valley, in cans ISA inches in di
ameter and 20 inches deep, with 157 lbs.
of milk taken from their dairy of 102
cows ; the rest of the milk was sent to
the factory. The experiment was con
ducted by Mr. II. himself, each time
producing 0 lbs. of butter of superior
quality. The cream was taken from the
milk as soon as the change began to
show itself, or before souring. This was
made in July when the thermometer
stood in the room at 90 and upward,
in the afternoon of each day. The milk
was brought by the cooler as low as 60"
in 1 hour and ten minutes after it was
put in the can, and kept at that temper
ature until the change (the time vary
ing from 36 to 50 hours), and the cream
was churned at once, yielding 6 lbs. tor
each experiment, or nearly 1 lb. of but
ter from 26 lbs. of milk. Mr. H. says
that the surroundings did not give a
fair test.
The next experiment was tried in
Cold Spring, in the dairy of Wm. K.
Miller. They have 40 cows, and have
been using for the last two years the
Pope and Tuttle pans in their dairy at
Cold Spring, also in their dairy in
Machiees. They are using all the known
facilities for making good butter, having
running water in their milk-room, and
ice whenever it is needed to keep the de
sired temperature. This trial was made
the nrst ten days of August, and designed
to be a thorough test of the manner of
setting milk. The morning's milk was
used each time, the milk being divided
into nearly equal parts ; first experi
ment, 136 lbs. in the deep can 17A
inches, and 141 lbs. in the pan 3 inches
deep. The water was taken from the
same tank to keep the temperature of
the milk standing at about o8v, it sour
ing in the pans in 40 hours and not
changing in the can till 43 hours. The
cream was churned as soon as taken
from the milk, the can producing 6 lbs.
of butter before salting, and the pan 5
lbs. 10 oz , or I lb. of butter from 23 lbs.
6 oz. of milk, and the can 1,1b. of butter
from 22 lbs. 10 oz.
Charcoal as a General Remedy.
Our rule has always been to give noth
ing, unless we know exactly what to do;
and in the meantime attend to every
exterior comfort practicable. If the
weather ib cold, place it in warm quar
ters, avoid all exposure, and attend to
pure air aud strict clewlines. But there
is one medicine that can never do harm,
and is commonly benthVial ; this is,
pulverized charcoal. As we have just
remarked, nearly all sick animals be
come so from improper eating, in the
hratplu.ee. Nine cases out of ten. the
digestion is wrong. Charcoal is the
most t men nt and rapid corrective. It
will cure in a mujority of cases, if
promptly administered. An example of
its use the hired man came in with
intelligence that one of the fiuest cows
was very sick, and a kind neighbor
proposed the usual drugs and poisons.
The owner being ill and unable to ex
amine the cow, concluded that the
trouble came from some over-eating,
and ordered a tea-cup of pulverized
charcoal given in water. It was mixed,
placed in a junk bottle, the head held
upward, and the water with its charcoal
poured downward. In five minutes an
improvement was visible, aud in a few
hours the animal was in the pasture
quietly eating grass. Another instance
of equal success occured with a young
heifer which became badly bloated by
eating green apples after a hard wind.
The bloat was so severe that the sides
were almost as hard as a barrel. The
old remedy, saleratus, was tried for the
purpose ot correcting the acidity. But
the attempt to put it down always caus
ed coughing, aud it did little good. Hilf
a teacuptul of fresh powdered charcoal
was next given. In six hours all ap
pearance of bloat had gone, and the
heifer was well. Country Gentleman.
A Better System for Supplying
Mile. In respect to such an article of
constant family consumption as milk, on
whose purity the health of a whole gen
eration directly depends, the scheme of
the middle-man has no essential appli
cation. The farmer need not sacrifice
anything like the half of what he now
sees grabbed from bis pocket iu order to
establish and support a comprehensive
system of distribution. A Milk Pro
ducers' Exchange is as feasible as a Corn
Exchange, or a Shoe and Leather Deal
ers' Exchange. The machinery needed
is simple, aud there must be plenty of
minus capable ot inventing it at once.
Ouly let the producers individually
make up their mind firmly that the ex
isting extortion shall ba terminated, and
the way will opvn as fast as they ud
vance. Frank discussions of the matter
in convention are the very thing wanted
The prodacers are indignant, the con
sumers are dissatisfied, aud the tryranni
cal dealers are at the mercy of both. Tho
only thing to do is to bring about a
union that will crush the latter out. If
the farmers would have the public help
them, they have but to show first their
ability to help themselves. Man). Ploie-
