Cast Away in the Pacific,
The Adventures OF a Bark's Crew Who Passed
twenty-five days in Open Boats.

The latest report Of marine disaster
is that gathered from the surveyors Of
the abandoned British bark Brookyille,
brought to this port by the steamer
Mexico, which arrived from Mazatlan
The castaways consisted OF John Long,
the master; Robert Thomas, the first Of

seaman, who formed one of the crew of

the adventures after the crew had left
the bark has been obtained.
II got into the longboat with First
Officer Brown, The boats kept togeth-
or till we arrived at Santa Rosa Island.
All we had was biscuit and half,
and pint Of water each. On the
island we found plenty of water, and
we drank so much of it that it made us
sick. There were no animals there; on
ly thick growth of prickly pears. In
the night large turtles came up on the
beach, and we caught these and got
eggs, and boiled the prickly pears.
There was plenty of fish and birds,
which we also captured and ate. We
boiled the turtle meat and eggs and put
them in the boat, and on the 18th, |
think it was, sir we started for the
mainland. The turtle eggs and meat
kept for three or four days without salt.
After we were out two days we parted
from the captains boat, as she sailed
faster than ours, and pom my word we

TOM PAINE'S GRAVE
Protected and Kept Clean by Presby.
teFtan Elder-Its Present Condition.

In 1889 a straight shaft of granite, says
the New York Herald, was erected in West
chester county 10 mark the final resting place
of Tom Paine, the atheist and patriot, who
was buried on the farm, near New Rochelle,
where he had passed the later years of his
life. This monument was in time much de-
faced by vapdals and relic hunters. Two
years ago it was taken down, the broken cor
ners rounded, the scars effaced and the iu-
scriptions re-cut. On May 80, 1881, il was
Since then rumor has stated
that it mas been agsin defaced, but visit to
the spot yesterday showed that This is untrue.
The monument stands on the right hand
side of the road after leaving New Rochelle,
in the center Of plot of ground twenty feet
square, protected on the sides and back by
stone walls three feet high and on the road
front by an iron railing. II is in excellent
order. The plot on which the shaft was
erected is surrounded by the property OF the
Lester family. Ia the handsome house
hundred yards further up the road Mr..
Simeon Lester lives. He was originally
farmer, but has long since retired from
active work. He is now eighty-seven
years OF age, although his ruddy
cheeks, dark hair scarcely touched
with gray, and firm step would make
him look not over sixty-6ve. He said
yesterday TO a reporter: II came here TO re-
side in 1925, and from then on heard many
remarkable stories of Paine from those who
had known him intimately. After while
became an elder in the Presby yterian church
here. For this reason, suppose, Mr.. Paine's
admirers, who knew that he was buried near
my property, have accused me of being in
strumental in the past vandalism. This is
not true. 1 seldom speak of Paine, for the
man is dead, and l let his memory rest.
But for many years past 1 have been
beset by denunciatory letters from all parts
of the country. I have even received
letters from England of the same tenor.
The truth is that it was 1 who cleared of
the brush which had overgrown the plot, and
with my own hands drove the four stakes in
the ground, twenty feet east of the monu-
ment, which mark the exact spot where lies
Tom Paine's ashes. The story that the mon.
ument had been egged recently is untrue. 1
have passed the spot several times day all
my life asd never saw an egg-mark on it.
The only time it was defaced in nay memery
was about ten years ago, when some mis-
chievous boys bespattered il With mud. As
soon az we heard of this my wife took two
servants with her and had the stone scrubbed

because they could not p1y he costs Of the

Mr.. Banks sick with typhoid fever. Such
is the story as related by Representative
Rodgers of Fairfield, who presented resolu.
iion and made an earnest appeal for the re-
lease OF the aged couple, who, when nearing
the end of long life, fnd themselves in jail
because unable TO pay small sum. Other
members Joined Rodgers in the appeal, but
lawyers on the floor contested the resolution
ON the ground that hasty action was in nadvis.
able, and that Ogden's story should be hesrd.
This was met by claim that whatever his
story might be, it was disgraceful to the State
to have the aged couple in prison. Finally,
the resolution was referred TO the Judiciary
COMMITTEE, with request for an early
report of facts
