MODERN CRUSO2S.
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. No, they were not,
for see the yards are coming round ;
there is a rush of blue jackets up the
shrouds; there is a flash of a gun.
They do see us!
It was an earnest' Thank God." that
followed the dull boom of the United
States ship Marion's gun. After fif
teen weary months they were indec : d
saved.
There is a little more to be told.
The Trinity's men were taken on board,
the colony at Clinton Bay found and
the men finally landed at Cape Town,
whence the United States Consul sent
them home.

His It<<>«p(iuii In Xew York.
NEW YORK, April 11. —Jumbo has
Jar lived. 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

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.

An Interesting Fact.
In France, all patent medicines
must be endorsed by an official board
of physicians before they can be sold.
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

S.'s hat in the hall, tbey red aloud the
initials, A. S. S , and tbey all tittered,

such a way as to destroy the craving

torpid liver to action, to regulate the
