THE New York Herald publishes a
statement of James A. King, the only
known survivor of a crew of the seal
fishing schooner Franklin, of New Lon
don, landed in 1871 on Window Island
one of the South Shetland, situated south
of Cape Horn, in latitude Ga. The men
killed 4 600 seal there, and went to St.
Georges Island, leaving a record of their
whereabouts behind. The vessel subse-
uuently returned from another of the
group of islands, discovered the record,
and proceeded to where stated, but getting
no response to guns, rockets, and other sig
mails, and being unable to send IA boat
ashore on account OF breakers and ice,
was compelled to abandon the men and
proceed home. The schooner Nile, one
Of whose men is now in New York, dis
covered King late last year in small
wooden hut on ST. Georges Island. One
of his companions had died several
months before, while the others, includ-
ing the third mate, Townsend, left two
weeks before King was found with boat
tor Window Island, against remonstrancc.
He helped them launch the boat, but
don't know what became of them. 1t is
certain, however that as IA portion of
the boat and Il sailors coat were found on
the beach near Cape Sheriff, thirty miles
from the hut, where the men passed a
weary year, that they were drowned in
breakers and never reached Window ISL
and. 1t is reported that the seals are al
most entirely killed off the South Shetland
Island. King told this man that he and
his comrades managed to live on pelican
flesh and biscuits left behind by boats
crew, and make clothes out of seal skins.
The hut was built of boards left there by
another vessel, and fire kept with seal
blubber The survivor had been without
fire several days when found.

| houses. Sallie started for home, but some
thing seemed to draw her to the pit. She
| soon reached il, and stood looking down
| the shaft, when she said she felt she must
go down there. There was only one way
to get down, and that was such danger
| Gus one that few men would dare to try it.
| The basket was worked by hand wind
lass, and she soon saw that if she stepped
in the basket and let ii go down her brains
| would be dashed out in second. The
only thing she could do was to let the
| basket down, and then slide down the
| rope by her hands. She tied the lantern
| around her waist, then caught the rope
and let herself free. She reached the bot
| tom, but that rope was smeared with blood
the whole length-her poor hands were
| cut awfully.
| love to tell this. How my brave little
wife went through all the danger for me,
never thinking of her own pain-only
hoping to find me, risking her life for
| mine.
She searched one passage after another
until she found me. No use telling you
how she tried to get me free from the
dreadful weight upon me, or how she
worked and shaved to get me free; twas
all wasted strength. Seeing at last that
she could not move me, she went to the
shaft where the basket lay. She could not
go up the rope, so she called for help I'M
til she was hOarse, and no good came of it.
The men came to work as usual in the
morning, and were startled when they saw
her there and heard her tale. They set to
ork and got me free. After they moved
me home the doctor cut my legs off, but
knew nothing of it for two months.
"What about the two men," you ask.
Poor fellows, they were both killed. They
were not missed until found. You see
they were single men, and had no wives
like mine to search for them. They were
buried in the graveyard there, and when
ever l see that cross over their graves 1
send up a prayer for their souls, and
thanks to God for my life-for l have
been very happy since then, although so
crippled.
All! you're right; not many women
would have done what Sallie did.
We've had three bright bonny boys
given to us since then. They are good
children-children still to us, though
middle-aged men to you.
