Professor Austin, Of Cambridge.
In 1854 a young fellow by the name
of Tuba, was missing from one OF the
Bornean villages. His people began
10 fear that some terrible accident had
befallen him, and concluded 10 ferret
out the mystery.
Having armed themselves, they &C.
cordingly started out aud searched
through the Jungle for four days with.
out finding any tlace Of the lost. On
the fifth day they came 10 the
Sakarang river, where every one
of them went in bathing.
They swan down the river q
short distance, when M oil the num-
Der fortunately discovered some cloth
ing on the nearest bank, which, on ex-
animation, proved to be that Of their
missing friend. Close beside it lay
the sumpitan, or blow.pipe, and The
short sword which he always carried
with him.
A little later tie party heard o voice,
and after dressing they set out in

fallen branches, but in vain. They
were on the point OF ~retracing their
steps when they again heard the voice.
II was the voice Of Tupa, aud,
strange as Il may appear, he was soon
discovered high in a tree, naked, and a
large orang.outang was his compan-
ion. A rifle shot brought the animal
10 the ground, where they finished her
with knives. Then the young man
came down and told the story OF bis
singular adventure.
he had been out huuting,h he said, and
late in the afternoon had gone into the
water Of the SakSrang to battle. On re-
turning 10 the bank TO dress, he was
seized By the arms by an oraug.outang
who made him follow her into the
ravine. They arrived at the foot of q

We gave an account of the attempt

really nearer Of accomplishment than
appeared from that account. The fire,

ond attempt, but discovered In time by

shot at. There are two theories about
II. One lie that Riley's relatives may
have done 1t In the hope that he might
somehow escape in the confusion Of

the Jail would almost certainly con-
