Tlirilling Adveinures of lUe Shipwrecked C'rew ul (lie Hark Trinity. The adventures of the crew of the bark Trinity, of New London, lost in the South Indian Ocean in the fall of 1880, are almost as interesting as those of that well known and hardy mariner Robinson Crusoe. The story of the Trinity is not often matched, and its relation would seem to lie more prop erly within the province of the novelist than the columns of a chronicler of facts and events. The officers and crew of the Trinity are now on their way home—all well save two unfor tunates, who perished miserably in the search for food, and whose bones lie within the shadow of a wooden cross on a far off South Sea island. One of the officers arrived home within a few days; the otbers are expected soon. Defoe has told us of many wonderful things on islands that abounded in game and tropical verdure; Charles Ileade in one of his novels depicts the sufferings of a small party wrecked on a Southern island and the triumphs of mind over matter in the arrangements of food and shelter provided by nature and controlled by resolute men, and desolate and uninhabited islands have scores of times proved valuable to the playwright and the novelist; but the crew of the Trinity has to tell of an actual experience ot nearly two years on an island where ice and snow abounded and storm succeeded storm with pitiless regularity. Their hardy resistance to fate, their cheerfulness and dicipliue under the severest trials, were probably the secret of their suc cessful rescue, and adds another page to the history of the American sailor's heroism. The Trinity left New London, Conn., in June, 18S0. There were sixteen persons in her crew all told, including the master, John Williams. She was owned by Lawrence & Co., of New London, dealers in whale oil, and that firm intended a somewhat new departure by sending her to Heard's Island, in the Southeran Sea, for sea elepbaut oil. Tbe second of ficer thus describes the voyage to the island:— 'She was bound for Cape de Yerde Islands, where she arrived after a pas sage of twenty-five days, and shipped nineteen negroes to assist in hunting the elephants. She sailed again the same dav for Heard's Island, in the South Sea. Nolhing remarkable oc curred until we arrived in latitude 40 degrees south. Then we had to en counter several very heavy storms, amounting to cyclones and hurricanes, with, sleet, hail and rain at times. The ship lay to occasionally, but the Trini ty braved it well. On the 4th of Sep tember we arrived at the Island of Desolation and found a beautiful har bor, which is called Pot Harbor on the charts. There we sent down our top gallant yards and spars fore and aft, and made our ship light for anchorage. We landed three months' provisions and made preparations to go on to Heard's Island, about two hundred and ten miles distant from Desolation Island. We sailed on the 28th of Sep tember for Heard's and arrived at Clin ton Bay October 2, where we landed four men, witn provisions enough for three mouths. Then we sailed further down the coast toward the south and east end of the island. The sea ran too high to effect a lauding with our bhats. Each day she lay at anchor the weather proved no better, until the evening of the 10th of October, whan there appeared every indication of a yery heavy storm. The appear ance pf the horizon, a heavy swell from the north-east and a light breeze north ward told us that heavy weather was at hand. 'At midnight the ship lay about j three-quarters of a mile off shore in ten fathoms of water, the lead show ing the ground to be gray sand and stones. There were two heavy anchors down, one weighing two tons and the other a ton and a half, with cable of five-inch iron. At two A. M. the 17th the wind increased and we reeved out some cable on both anchors. At four A. M. tbe storm increased to a hurricane and we reeved out all the cable on both anchors, and the ship began to drag toward the reef. At seven A. M. was «n six fathoms of water; she leaked badly and the pumps were put to work. At half past six she had dragged into four fathoms of water, while the heavy gale from .the north-east continued. The captain called a counsel of all hands in the cabin to know what was best to be done to save our lives. The general verdict was to slip the cables and run the ship on shore. The cap tain thought it was our only chance. At nine A. M. the south-east point was three and a half miles distant. At At baft-past nine we slipped the cables and made sail, knowing the ship would not clear the land on any tack.' The position of the unfortunate crew was thrilling enough then. There was a wild waste of waters on one side, a rocky, icebound coast on anoth- er, icebound cliffs and icebergs ahead and a line of foaming breakers astern. The only question was to find the softest possible spot of beach on which to lay the Trinity's timbers, in a shorttime the ship ran aground about fifty yards from the beacj). The sea made a clean breach over her with every lurch. Volunteers soon appear ed and several of them jumped into the waves with lines and swam ashore. Others soon followed, being drawn in by the ropes. Then the vessel wheel ed around broadside to the beach and a boat was lowered, in which all hands escaped. Casks of provisions were towetj ashorp. It was very cold all this time, the thermometer being below the freezing point. Seven of the colored crew were frostbitten. The landing all effected and the storm still continuing, an effort was made to erect a sort of shelter with a piece of tarpaulin. One of the crew wandered inland a little and soon Icatne running back with the astonish ing announcement that he had found a bouse. The house proved to be a lit tle wooden shanty—one of five erected years before doubtless by some ship's company on the island. One of these shanties was larger than the others, and in that the crew took shelter. A fire was built, the clothes dried as much as possible, and then the exhaust ed men lay down and slept souudh, with the howling of U>e storm and moaning of the waters as a lullaby. About midnight the second mate and two seamen got up and went out to look at the ship, for upon her lasting long enough for them to get provisions depended, as they thought, their chances for existence. The three men walked down the sands opposite where the ship was lying, still broadside on. The tide had been rising. While they were looking at her and speculating as to the chances of her lasting until morning she gave a 'weather roll' and floated off as erect and buoyant as ever. Straight off to sea went the Trinity, carrying with her the pro visions and equipment. The men, with staring eyes, watched her until she disappeared in the storm and mist —to reappear again possibly as the Flying Yankee to traders in the So.uth Sea—and then ran back to tell the wonderful Ftory to their comrades. The situation when the next morn ing broke was most distressing to the men. The ship was gone and with her their hope of subsistence. It is true that they had a few casks of pro visions on land, but these seemed very insignificant when the captain announc ed that their stay on the island would be of one years duration under the best circumstances. Tbe island lies in latitude 53 south by east. It is thirty-five miles long by about four miles wide. On one eud of it, at Clin ton Bay, about eighteen miles from their comrades, were the four men that .had been put ashore there as the Trin ity came down the coast. The first thought of Captain Williams was to reach these men, but a huge volcanic mountain covered with icy steeps and dented with narrow ravines .hundreds of feet deep blocked the way. An in vestigation of the resources of the island proved that there were pro visions enough of a certain sort. Wild cabbage abounded. It was something like our cabbage, but very strong in odor and taste. It was only by a most thorough boiling that it became palatable. Hungry men, and casta ways at that, however, might do worse than eat wild caj>bage f and the Trini ty's crew boiled'and ate with an appe tite and an honest thankfulness. The sea elephants that they had come there to hunt were found in great numbers, and sea leopards, an animal about eight times as large as a seal, wore also caught occasionally. A cooking committee superintended the prepara tion of these viands, and so admirably did they succeed that the bill of fare was oftentimes a surprising novelty to those not .in the secret. There was some difficulty at first about the game, but the penguins, a bird with enor mous wings and enormous dignity, that prevented its flying, fell an easy victim to the fleet-footed hunters. As the months grew apace it was , found accessary to devise means of amusement for the men, whose pa tience, as might well be imagined, be gan to give out. The weather was almost constantly stormy and there were few days when any outdoor work could be accomplished, always excepting tho daily hunt for food that was, of course, necessary. It was al ways cold, and the great glaciers of the volcanic mountain were masses of ice from the peak. G.OOO feet above, to the level of the sea. The men were told of the four cabins and the fifth was hoisted a piece of sailcloth, which in time was substituted by apiece of fur. The men's clothes gave out piece by piece naturally enough, but the skins of the elepbaut and leopard made ec ceptable garments. The blankets were also reinforced with furs, and beds and pillows were manufactured with feath ers of the buds captured. Their great est want was tobacco and all sorts of substitutes were devised, but unsuc cessfully. A sun dial was put up but was of little use, as the sun seemed to have withdrawn its light from them. The days and months were kept by noches on wood, and in fact the men dressed, slept, ate and probably talked as Crusoe might have done. The dis cipline was perfect and the work was alwavs cheerfully done. Several par ties patrolled the beaches daily in search of meat, and where one pi\rty failed another succeeded. Thus the days and weeks went by. There had been saved from the Trini ty three or four religious books, one prayer book and about a dozen copies of Harper's Weeklj. The 'library' was arranged with much ceremony in one of the cabins and was well pat roniz d. Even the Portuguese negroes would look at the pictures of Harper'* and spell out the words with great gusto. Finally, to cap the climax, a baseball club was organised, and on one sunny uay the tirst of a series of the national game was 'inaugurated.' There was some little difficulty at first because one of the Portuguese was appointed referee and was not posted on the rules of the 'league, but it was finally arranged by putting the colored man in the field and appoint ing the cook to tbo responsible judicial post, which he filled to tbe satisfaction of all, notwithstanding the dinner was somewhat late in conec:juencp. It was a Cjueor sight when the wooden ball prepared by the carpenter after a vast amount of consultation flew from the bat and was chased by a number of bearded and hairy-coated 'fielders.' The game was a success and was fol luwed by others. The light-hearted fellows were des tined, however, to feel the touch of sadness. In Junuary, 1381, five men started on a more extended search for elephant meat, as the animals were fighting rather shy of the beach where | the camp was located. They went ! about six miles north of the camp, i Three of the men came back in a blind j iug storm of snow and sleet and could I give no account of their missing com i rades. The next morning a search ; party was inaugurated, and after a | long search the body of one was found. It was Christopher Kelly, a seaman and a native ot this city. The poor fellow had been frozen to death, and was found half covered with snow. In a short time the other, Ship's Carpen ter George Waston, was also found ile had shared the fate of his comrade. Sadly the party returned to camp bear ing the bodies of the two unfortunates. A coffin was made of boards, a scarce and valuable article there, and a day set for the funeral. Fortunately it was a fair day, and the funeral cortege start ed for Fairchild's Beach, where a grave had been prepared. First march ed the captain, then came eight men dearing between them the coffined re mains of their comrades; behind fol lowed the remainder of the crew as mourners. And probably there never was a sadder burial or truer mourn ers The coffin was lowered into the sandy grave while the crew stood un covered. In a choked voice Captain Williams read from the prayer book the Episcopal service, while the tears trickled down many a weather beaten face. At the close a solemn 'Amen!' went lip from the men, who knew not how soon each mi&ht follow, and the grave was left alone with the waves, which sung a constant requiem. A broad, flat board was placed over the grave bearing the words : i GEORGE WILSON and i CHRISTOPHER KELLY, : • of the • Bark Trinity, of New London, : : Lost at this Island, : : October 17, 1880. : At the head of the board was placed a wooden cross, set upright. During tbe spring and summer of this yew, 1881, the men busied in kill ing sea elephants, becoming exceeding ly expert at the chase. The meat and blubber not eaten was boiled down and stored, and in this way 500 bar rels of good oil secured This, of course, belongs to the men and is worth about SB,OOO. About the Ist of No vember the penguins began to lay and the table was daily supplied with fresh eggs, which varied tbe monotony won derfully and relieved the cook of a great mental strain. In December one of the men on lookout duty, which was constant, of course, described a peculiar looking sail making slowly down the coast. He gave the alarm and the beach was lined by the crew. No one could tell what it was, but every one could see that it was steadi ly approaching. Nearear and nearer came ihe craft, and they saw in her what appealed to be two animals, but \ on closer inspection they turned out to j be men as unsightly as themselves they were two of the four men left at | Clinton Bay. They had built a boat of boards and with a sealskin for a sail \ had come to look ufter the ship. It is ' needless to say tbat the joy of both parties was genuine and little sleep was had that night, as each told the stories of their hardehips. In the morning the two mariners sailed away again to their own camp. Their life had been the same as that of the larger bodv. Captain Williams and bis men were just about settling down for another long winter when the little colony was electrified by the cry of the lookout: 'Sail ho!' Everybody turned out. All work was given over. Even the cook forgot his cotcletles de penguin a la Trinity and let the fiire go out. They looked with straining eyes seaward. It was a cloud. No, it was a bank of fog rolling up. In that doubting, hoping moment of suspense each man lived a year. Then a mighty shout went up:— 'lt is a sail!' Nearer and nearer came the white winged messenger of joy, so near that the tear-dimmed eyes of the brave ship's company saw the ports of a war ship and, better than all, recognized tbe flag of their country. Frantically they waved their tattered elephant skins and hoarsely shouted as they waved. Did the people on the ship see them ? Might they not pass by ? They seem ed to be passing.

He did not hare au oppor j tuuity to Jumhoverhoard during the voyage and lie reached New York in i safety yesterday after a tempestuous passage for fourteen days. The As ! Syrian Monarch, the staunch steamer, ■to this distinguished cargo had I been entrusted, anchored at Quaran | tine shortly before midnight on Satur day, but it was not until half-past twelve o'clock yesterday noon that the steamer was moored at her dock at Jersey City. A steam derrick was to ; have been in readiness to transfer the ; monster to a lighter, so that he could |be brought at once to this city, and f lodged safely in his temporary home in Madison Square Garden. Through some misunderstanding, however, the derrick was not in readiness. It lay in the slip, but was deserted and use less, because captain, engineer and I firemen, were not on ooard, and the lires were out and no steam on. After 1 a delay of several hours some of the 1 hands were found, and another inter : val elapsed before the clumsy craft, I which combined the functions of a j forty-ton steam derrick and a lighter as well could be brought alongside the steamer and prepared to receive the elephant. At five o'clock, in presence of a crowd of about a thousand per sons, among whom the small boy was übiquitously and noisily numerous, the covers were removed from forward hatch No. 2 and the top of a great wooden box containing the monster was revealed. Enormous chain cables' were then carefully passed under the cage, the gigantic arm of the derrick swung into position, and at half-past five, with many precautions to see that the ropes and cables were properly ad justed so that the box aud its living freight would move smoothly and safe ly, all was declared in readiness for the difficult and somewhat hazardous work of lifting Jumbo from the hold of the steamer and dropping him gently upou the deck of the lighter. Ills TRUNK'S FIRST APPEARANCE It was just twenty-five minutes to six o'clock when the order, "Hoist away ! was given, and, with clattering of chains, straining of ropes, creaking of pulleys and puffing of the engine, the box rose very slowly into the air. A slight rocking motion attended its upward movement, the cause of which was soon apparent. The box, studded with wooden beams, clasped about with many bands of iron, and dotted with bolts and rings, was closed on every side but one. This front was open except for live heavy lateral bars of timber, and as the cage rose above the combings of the hatch a huge dark, swaying mass was visible through these openings. It was the head and trunk of Jumbo, and a cheer burst from the fast increasing crowd which lined the pier, clambered over adjacent vessels and blackened the roofs of sheds and warehouses. The great brute rolled uneasily and restlessly from side to side in his narrow quar ters and pushed his truuk between the bars with quick and neryous motions, causing his cage to rock perceptibly in spite of guy ropes and cables. Mat thew Scott, who has been Jumbo's keeper since the elephant was import ed from Africa seventeen years ago, stood on the ledge of the cage just out side tho bars as it rose into the air. lie talked to the animal as if it were a human being, quieting and soothing I iin Jumbo seemed to understand, for as the cage rose higher in the air he swayed less violently and gradual ly quieted down, so that by the time he was lowered upon the deck of the lighter he had ceased to manifest signs of uneasiness or fright. At six o'clock the cage was safely stowed upon the lighter's deck, and with three rousing cheers and a tiger for Jumbo, three more for the As syrian Monarch and three more for Captain John Harrison, lier hardy commander, the assembled multitude saw the lighter, in tow of a tugboat, move out into the North River in the direction of pier Xo. 1 at the Battery. Up to this time Jumbo bad uttered uo Found; but when, for a moment, Scott, the keeper, descended from the front of the cage and moved off to speak to Mr. Hutchinson, of the managers of the show, the animal uttered a hoarse bel low and butted his head pgainst the bars as though he wanted to follow him. As soon as the keeper returned to his side he was quiet again, and from that time on either Scott or Wm. Newman, the American keeper who went to England to fetch the elephant to this country, had to remain in his sight. If tbc-y showed any indication of leaving him, he manifested bis dis pleasure by following. When the lighter reached the Battery pier at seven o'clock the whole of the First ward seemed to have turned out to welcome Jumbo. Nearly two hours ' were spenl in landing the cage and ad justing to it the low and broad wheel truck which was to be the means of conveying Jumbo ihrougb the streets to Madison Square Garden. A team of sixteen horses was in waiting, and these, after much delay, were finally harnessed to the cage and it was start ed 011 its way to the Uarden, where it arrived without accident shortly after twelve o'clock. Jumbo is a monster. Mr. Barnum, Mr. Bailey, r Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Arstingstall, the trainer, agree in pro nouncing bim the largest elephat ever imported- He stands over eleven feet six inches in height, weighs six and a half tons and measures fifteen feet across the head from the extreme tip o{ each of his enormous ears. He is twelve feet long and his trunk is seven feet in length. Mr. Barnum and his partners paid SIO,OOO for him, and his entire cost, landed in New York, Mr. Hutchinson states, will be $30,000. There have been many unseen expenses in getting him here. In the first place the opposition in l London to the sale to Mr. Barnum was so strong that several lavv«u>U had to be contested, entailing a coßt of $2,090 for legal ex , penses alone. Then the experiments in making a cage in which to transport I him were costly, and the expense of ADVERTISING BATE*, - One square, one Insertion, 91; Moh snbse* q ient insertion, 90 centa.

NO. 22 bringing him across the Atlantic was very heavy. Passage was engaged for him twice, and two steamers were fitted up for hiui and provisioned before the Assyrian Monarch, but on both occasions Jumbo postively refused to enter his cage at the last moment, al though he was docile enough atj all other times. In addition to the freight charge of SI,OOO the steamship com pany exacted pay for fifty ton# of freight displaced and for 200 emigrants, at S3O p»>r head, because the emigra tion authorities would not permit pas sengers to be carried in the same part of the ship with Jumbo. JUMBO'S WUISKT. The cage in which Jumbo was con" fined during the voyage ts 6 feet 8 inches wide and 13 feet high, inside measurement. It is mad* of seven inch timbers of yellow pine, with double lining of three-inch oak planks. Heavy bonds of three-quarter Inch angle iron, with five inch flaoges, pass around the cage in all directions, and the receptacle is as strong a* stout timbers and iron can make it. It weighs six tons—within half a ton as much as Jumbo. It rested on the flooring of the main deck of the steam-- er, under one of the framed hatches, and extended through the shelter deck to the hatchway of the spar deck. The ship had a rough passage, ex periencing a series of severe gales, but Jumbo bore the journey well. He was frightened and restless at first and was sea sick on the secoud day, bnt he soon recovered bis appetite, and was in fine conditionwhen he reached here His daily allowance of food was about as follows : Two hundred pounds of hay, two bushels of oats, one bushel of bis cuit, ten or fifteen large loves of bread, two or three quarts of onions, five buckets of water, and apples, oranges, figs, nuts, cakes, candies and dainties of that sort in unlimited quantities. The Baroness Burdett-Coutts, and oth er distinguished personages in London who visited the steamer to say good bye to Jumbo just before the Assyrian Manarch sailed, left boxes of candy and buns, of which Jumbo is very fond, for bis use buring the voyage. Ho was a great pet of officers, crew and passengers, and was liberally fed with good things. He has developed a great liking for strong drink and he swallows the contents of a whisky bot tle at one gulp, without winking, and then holds out his trunk and pleads for marc. Beer ho likes, also, and drank dozens of bottles during his voy age. He is very fond of the society of his keepers, and one of the two had to re main with him constantly, especially at night. If they wandered out of his sight he would rouse the ship with his deep trumpetings of complaint. The two keepers were assisted by elev en men in caring for him. The question of duty has not yet been decided, but the Custom House authorties have permitted Jumbo to be landed under bond. Mr. Barnum claims that Jumbo is to be used for breeding purposes, and as such shoaJ d be allowed to enter free. He has twenty-two other elephants, and paid duty on them cheerfully, he says, but Jumbo was originally purchased for breeding rather than for show. Don't Die in the House.

In lieu of such a law in a America, tbo people have resolved themselves into a National committee which has endorsed Swayne's Ointment for allay ing the itching accompanying the Piles, an the only reliable remedy in the market. Its a poor rule that won't work both ways. The prevailing fashion for young ladies to embroider the initials of their best young man on a ribbon to be worn in his hat, got Algernon S. Snod grass in quite an unhappy predicament the other evening when some friends called on the lady, and picking up Mr. S.'s hat in the hall, tbey red aloud the initials, A. S. S , and tbey all tittered, while Snodgrass blushed like a cabbage rose at sun set. When he returned home in the evening he tore out the hat-band, and was so mad that he went to bed without saying his prayers— Baltimore Every Saturday.

Those who have taken Simmons Liver Regu lator declare that it sets the liver in action and invigorates the system in such a way as to destroy the craving for strong drinks. The shaky, nervous and distressed should resort to the Regulator as a tonic to arouse the torpid liver to action, to regulate the bowels and remove the feeling of gen eral depression and with it the craving for liquor. 'Ther's to much horse-racing at yoof agricultural/ fairs remarked Parson Jones to the secretary of the ooanty society. 'I should like to know, sir, what horße-racing has to do with agri culture.' 'Well, Parson,' replied the secretary, with a pleasant smile, 'nothing, perhaps; or, at least, no more than church lotteries have to do with the spreading of the Gospel.' Parson Jones saw the point and chang ed the conversation immediately. i For weakness of any kind take Pe 't runa.
