daily washings averaged about one pound

tory terms to the valuable services Mr..
Barnard, the manager, had rendered the
Company as witness the successful turn

the placer he said that he was now con-
WINGED that the Company had a very rich

Gent protection to the managerial staff of
the estates. At Pin. De KindeTen, West
Coast, on Saturday last, Mr.. Ashford,
overseer, was in one of the canetelds,
'taking-dOwn' the work of the coolies who
were labOuring in it. He had just told
them that it would be Monday before a
supply OF! cane plants would be available
for Simplifying the field, when without a
word of caution or complaint one OF the
coolies raised his long hackia stick and
brought it down with terrific force on Mr..
ASnfOruS neau, lhulctIHS an ugly scalp
wound and driving him to the ground.
Before be could recover himself, seven
other .labourers rushed upon HIM, declar-
ing that now that he was down they
would take the chance to wreak their ven.
geance on him. One of them drove the
point of his shovel through the overseer's
ankle others piled him over the head
with sticks and III trying to defend hint
self he received many lncised wounds on
HIS arms. The villains after having salts
fed their appetite for blood, left him, as
they thought, dead on the ground. But
although he had been so savagrly hacked
and mauIed, Mr., Ashford was still alive,
. and he was subsequently carried to the
e. estates hospital, were he lies up till now
in a precariOus state. The coolies, Te are

The Latest Sea Serpent Story.

Glass the sea serpent no more IN myth.
Ii will never more be a creature of romance,
yelled i'll uncertainty and 0bScurity. 1t is
low n reality. Capt. Paul BoytOn has
added another Chaplet to his brOw-One
that promises to establish this aquatic
genius as the greatest of marine wonder
discoveries. BOytOn has caught u sea
serpent, and his friends are mad with glee.
Yesterday morning the steamship LOtlO-
nay ut The Henry Brothers line brought
into Baltimore u huge and veritable sea
serpent, sixty feet III length, three feet and
one inch in diameter, ard, as B0ytOn puts
it, "SOmething awful to SEE Last night
the Captain, sitting in John Z. Doris's
city office, told an Evening Sun reporter
the plain and more or less unvarniShed ale
OF the mOnSter'S capture.
~ fitted out an expedition last August
or 10 he IN ore precise" SAID the Captain,
ait sailed from Baltimore on the 10th of
that month on the schooner HuntreSs, Capt.
. Joseph Wier in command. The Huntress
is vessel of Sixty tons burden, a fast Sailer,
aud an easy craft to handle: one, in fact,
in every way fitted for the undertaking for
which she was engaged. Our object was,
briefly, to search for marine monsters and
rarlties of all sorts. The expedition was
superintended by Prof. E. Munster, the
we'll. known taxidermiSt and naturalist. and
he was we'll supplied with everything
necessary tor a long voyage. He had
several submarine divers, torpedo experts,
and harpoOn hands, who were provided
with the most improved and modern de-
vices of their calling. My new spring
plunge dynamite battery was mounted on
the deck of the schooner.
+" The vessel cruised for some months
without meeting anything of more than
ordinary interest, and the boys were be.
coming impatient. The inactivity was
rusting them; so one day, while the Hun
tress was sailing off the Isle of Pines, a
small island lying off the southwest of
Cuba in the Caribbean Sea, Captain Weir,
noticing that the way of the ship lay
through q huge school of porpOises, decid.
ed to give the boys ONE sport and at the
same time to try the effect of my spring
plunge battery on the animals. The wea-
pom is a very effective one. and as charge
after charge and missile after missile went
through the serried and s0mmersaulting
ranks of the deep-water porkers, the sea
soon fattened with their blubber, and the
scene became very animated.
. The Captain was just about to desist from
his cruel sport when a voice from aloft
