THE LEGEND OF STAR ISLAND,
The Only Monument to John Smith, the
Friend of POcahontas.

The Only Monument to John Smith, the
Friend of POcahontas.
During the troublesome times before
and subsequent to the revolution the
Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New
Hampshire, were the resort and hiding
places of the freebOoters who haunted the
northern coast, and these silent rocks, il
they could speak, would tell many tale
Ofbloody cruelty and gloomy wrong. The
pirates used to come here to divide and
hide their booty, and melt up the silver
plate they captured from the colonists
along the coast.
For a long time it was supposed that
bushels OF dO1blOOns were buried in the
gaping crevices of the rocks, or the little
caves that have been eaten out Of the
lodges hY the restless tide; but the place
was thoroughly searched by several gen.
erati0ns OF fishermen, and nothing more
valuable than rusty cutlasS or bursted
bIunderOuss was ever found.
The grandames tell how Capt. Kydd
came here often, ''as he sailed, as he
sailed,' and there are legends of other pl-
rates quite as fierce and free~as he The
Star Island used to be haunkel by beau
tifuI spectre with long wbke robes and
golden tresses reaching tQAErr heels, who
used to come out of SOM pdIscovered
cavern at dawn, and shadnNm ser eyes
with hand that was as Whitehall beau
tiful as a lily's bosom, gaze off upon the
sea in hopeless expectancy of the return
of clipper that sailed away and never
came back again.
The story goes that bloOdy-hearted old
pirate, being pursued by cruiser,
brought his beautiful mistress here and
left her while he went out to battle, telling
her that by dawn he would be back again,
but he came not, not even till now. she
died of starvation, but her faithful spirit
still comes to the summit OF the island as
the sun rises each morning, to meet the
cOrsair who never returned.
There are eight of the islands, the
smallest being as large, or rather as
small, as city building lot, and the larg-
est containing only a couple OF hundred
acres-nothing but bare, lfeless rocks,
carved by the incessant waves into strange
! grOtesqueness, and covered by no yege-
| tion except low clinging vines and the
| New England BURBERRY. Four of the
| islands are inhabited, the largest, the APP
pledOre, bears a hotel and a few cottages.
! Star Island has another hotel and small
settlementOf fishermen; a third has few
| fishermen's huts, and the fourth has a
/ bold, white lighthouse springing out of its
! crest. They were discovered by Capt.
! John Smith, the friend of P0cahantas,
who in 1914 explored the New England
coast in an open boat, and spent some
time here making repairs and resting.
On Star Island stands the only monu-
ment erected in America to Capt. John
Smith. 1t is rude affair-a prismatic-
shaped shaft Of marble, upon pedestal
Of sandstone, inscribed at length with the
record of his valorous deeds, and some
cyclopedias say he is buried here, but that
is mistake.

Sunken Treasures.

The list Of treasure lost in the sea, says
Belqrdvid, would indeed be a long and
melancholy one; instancing, for example,
the Madagascar, from Australia, which,
in the early days of the gold fever there,
having on board the precious yellow dust
in enormous quantity, was never heard of
and left not even the faintest clue to
speculation as to her fate. And in later
years the Thunder steamer, from Calcutta
to China, with some 100000 worth Of
silver, destined never to reach the
expectant consignees, was supposed to be
lying abandoned among the awful sand
banks at the mouth of the Hooghly, but,
In spite of many rumors, never to be seen
there. These are instances, out of many,
of treasures never heard of. The wreck
of the Royal Charter steamer from
Australia, lost in a frightful gale on the
Anglesea coast in October, 1859, with
some $500, 900 of gold on board. will doubt
less occur to the readers mind, coupled
as it was with such lamentable loss of
life. In this case, happily, a great part
of the treasure was recovered subsequent
ly, but there is still fortune left at
Moelfra for the fortunate being who can
find it. In old days VigO Bay had always
an attractive sound to treasure seekers,
from the reported wealth on board the
Spanish feet destroyed there by Sir @.
Rookie in 1902; but the infinite pains,
money, and patience expended over its
recovery have been thrown away, the
silver even if it is there, which is some
what dOubtful) obstinately refusing to
make temperance in the world.

CRAZE FOR KNEE BREECHEs
Men Gradually Going Back to the Style
of Seventy-Six.

Men GRADUALLY GO1nE BACK TO the style
of Seventy-Six.
Ladies are wearing their last years
dresses, writes the Isle of Shoals IN. "
correspondent of the New York Graphls,
and the decorative art which now displays
itself in clothing children has adopted
cheaper and less fanciful materials
Broad Mackinaw hats and few yards of
white illusion are all that is necessary for
a fashionable hat this season, while last
year every body run to expensive plumes
and the breasts and wings of bright-hued
birds.
AS for the men, those who have good
calves are all wearing knickerbockers.
Even the spindle-shanked fellows will
have to come to it, or people will think
their limbs are worse than they are. Nine
out of every ten men TYe methere have ap-
peared in Oscar Wilde's costume lacking
the velvet and long hair, but think the
new fashion is due quite as much, if not
more, TO the bicycle than to the disciple of
the utter. The same custom prevails all
along the beach, and in the mountains it
is even more prevalent. 1t strikes one
oddly at first to see man of 90 dressed in
the same pattern that is common for the
boys of 10, and you mentally conclude
that you wouldn't do it if you were in his
place, but the convenience of the dress is
is at once acknowledged, and after little
when you become accustomed to the nov
city you say to yourself:
''Well, if everybOdy's going to do it, Pll
get pair of those myself"
In boating, fishing, tramping, and other
pursuits which the man at the seaside is
naturally expected to follow, the knicker-
bOckers are great improvement over the
ordinary pantalOons, and to a man who
has good pair of legs there is certain
amount of qualification in being able to
show them without transgressing the
bounds Of modesty.
There's everything in favor then, and
nothing against the acceptance of the
suggestion Mr.. Wilde offered, and while
knee-breeches may not be introduced on

or in the counting houses at preseup, ~ u

test of a mOdiste's art is in making a
sleeve fit at the shoulder, the test of a
tailOr's art is in cutting a pair of panta-
looms so they won't bag at the knees and
flop around the shoe tops; but if you will
observe the next hundred men and women
you meet you will discover that both are
at very imperfect stage of evolution.
