Her mother, Queen of Javasu, was
killed during the rebellion. She her.
self attempted to escape with her
father, but he was shot. and she was
captured aud sold to a band of pirates
who soon after visited the island.
They took her on their sailing vessel.
but after long voyage we're attacked
by Spanish cruiser. Many of them
were killed, and the vessel sacked by
the ASSISTANTS. She herself was q cap
tive, but after piteOus entreaties, and
the surrender Of some gold ornamnets
which were concealed in her clothing
they landed her Mt small fishing viii
lage on the coast of Spain. She had
heard of England. and that the people
were good there. and. surouning almost
incredible difficulties, made her way to
its friendly shores.
She drew with her finger a rough
chart of the ships course, and crude
sketches of the principal scenes she
had passed through, and told her story
with such animation and dramatic
gestures that the bystanders declared
they could follow it perfectly.
When her romantic and pathetic
history became public. the force was
greater than ever. and the Princess
Caiabco Yves entertained by the nobility
became the toast and belle of the sea-
son. and men of wealth, rank and for
tune knelt at her feet as suitors.
Poems were dedicated to her, the wits
strained their intellects for compli-
ments and epigrams in her homer, and
great scholars sought from her further
information as to the almost unknown
island of Javasu One learned saw
ant. DIR WilkersOn, was so much
touched BY her story that he visited Lon
don. endeavroing to interest the East
Indian Directors in her and to rouse
public sympathy in her behalf he
wrote long letters tn the London news
papers concerning the beautiful wan
derer from the Orient. When these
illusions appeared in printPrinces Car

Scarcely had these communications
appeared when spinster from Devon

maid.servant. and the daughter of a

and an ambition ungratified by "black-
leading" she had been carried away
by the promise of a fine gentleman
from London, and went there "to be |
a lady," 1t ended sadly enough in
her becomming a mother, and a ten.
porary inmate of the Magdalene. But
with her head full or romance. and
thirsting for adventure. she received
the idea Of Princess CarabOo, and how
well she carried it out has been re-
lated, the learned "Portugee" lending
himself to the fraud, so infatuated was
he with her beauty.
That she was woman of no ordi-
nary ability is evident, and it is a
great pity that one SO naturally gifted
and beautiful. with such talent for the
stage, should not have found q better
outlet for her ambition.
Fortunately, there happened to be
one real Christian on the spot, and
that the one person who had the most
reason to resent the heartlcss hoax
