While the story Of the bark Trinity, whose crew,
wrecked on an uninhabited island in the South In
dian Ocean, were rescued months later by the
United States corvette Marion, is thrilling in some
respects there Is a comic touch in its conclusion
which could only have had an Anglo Saxon
origin. When the Marion deserted the signal of
dist ess aud the bonfire on Heards Island, she
knew that she had triumphantly accomplished
the long and anxious quest on which she had
been sent by the Navy Department; but she lay
quietly out of reach Of the breakers all night and
the next morning a boat, under charge of II mate,
as quietly approached the shore, and, pausng at a
haing distance, conducted this queer cooquy:
I" ! am mate of the Marion, Commander Terry.
Who are your"
~ am taplain Williams, of the bark Trinity"
"Whore's the bark2"
"Gone out to sea-"
"Well, what do you want, anyhow
al want TO get away"
"Well, | guess well take YOU"
II Is study OF n0tiona tiles TO compare this cool
and cautious dialogue with the frantic signaling
and gesticulnting which would have gone on be-
tween ship and shore, and the rush with wild
cries ofevery available boat to the beach, so that
all might share in the embraces, had French or
Spanish war vessel thus been sent out TO hunt for
and rescue body of more than thirty shipwrecked
countrymen.-Net0 York Sun.
