ALEXANDER SELKIRK.

The following is the history Of Alex
ander Selkirk, Invested Of fable:-He
was born in Largo, in 1876. Having
gone to sea in his youth, and in the year
1908, being sailing master Of the ship
Cirque Ports, captain Stradling, bound
for the South Seas, he was put on shore
on the island Jean Fernandez, in con-
sequence Of a quarrel with the captain.
In that solitude he remained four years
and four months, from which he was
at last relieved and brought to Eng
land by captain Woods Rodgers. He
had with him in the island his clothes
and bedding, with a frelock, some
powder, bullets and tobacco, a Ratchet,
knife, bottle, and his mathematical In
struments, and Bible. He built two
huts of pimento trees, and covered
them with long grass, and in short
time lined them with skins of goats,
which he killed with his musket so long
as his powder lasted, which at first was
but pound. When that was spent he
caught them by speed Of foot. Hav-
ing learned TO produce fire by rubbing
two pieces Of wood together, he dress
ed his victuals in one of his huts and
slept in the other, which was at some
distance from the kitchen. A multi
rude of rats often disturbed his repose,
by gnawing his feet and other parts Of
his body, which induced him to feed a
number Of cats for his protection. In
a short time these became SO tame, that
they would lie about in hundreds, and
soon delivered him from the rats, his
enemies. Upon his return, he declar-
ed to his friends, that nothing gave
him so much uneasiness as the thought
that when he died his body would be
devoured by these very cats he had
with so much care tanned and fed. To
divert his mind from such melancholy
thoughts, he would sometimes dance
and sing among his kids and goats, at
other times retire to his devotion. His
clothes and shoes were soon worn out
by running through the woods. In the
want Of shoes he found little inconveni-
ence, as the soles of his feet became SO
hard that he could run every where
without difficulty. AS for clothes he
made for himself coat and cap oil
goat skins, sewed with little thongs Of
the same, cut into proper form with MS
knife. His only needle was nail

might fit a genteeler lodger and pro-

He was black-a-vised Englishman,

sought good price, that we might Oh
