century earlier a Spanish pilot had fixed on
this spot as the home for one man, and
there were not wanting individuals who
shared his belief that one person could live
there and cultivate the island without as
sistance. There came an adventurer from
the United States who rented the island
from Chill and made the unsuccessful ex-
pertinent. And again in 1877, when the
government of Chill offered 10 rent the
island to the highest bidder, he was
found in a Swiss of noble family, Alfred
de Rodt, who had fought on the side
of the Austrians in the war Of 1866
and on the French side in the Franco
Prussian struggle, and who after life of
trouble thought to find place of content
ment in this Robinson Crusoe Island and
rest there till his death. Into the enter
prise he put all his fortune, fully 50,000
brought few colonists with him, and yet
he has failed his money has vanished, his
colonists departed, and he is a physical
wreck His term of lease expired in 1885,
but he cannot resist the spell and fascina
ton OF the island. There he will remain
till he dies.
And NIL the while the beautiful grass
grown and forested island smiles in the
southern sun, produces fruits and cereals
in abundance, and viii lure TO her breast
another colony or another hermit. As fair
and smiling it looks today from the
point on the fill road called Selkirk's
lookout rs it did in Robinson Crusoe's
day. A few years ago the officers of a
British ship erected a tablet to Seikirk's
memory at this point, just where in a gap
in the trap rock magnificent view of the
whole island can be had and of the sea
north and south, over which the exile
must often have watched with dilated
eyes for an approaching sail.

Two English vessels ride into the bay. lie
Immediately lighted signal fire and was
taken on board of one, the Duke, pri
vateer from Bristol, the pilot OF which
recognized in Selkirk an old friend Othe--
wise they might have returned 70 England
without finding out who the castsway
was, for Selkirks tongue, by long disuse
of conversation, had thickened TO mere
gibberish.
On his return to his native village he en-
joyed greatly for few days the society OF
his friends and relatives. But it was for
only few days. Those long and solitary
months on Juan Fernandez had left last
ing impress on his character. He was hap
piest alone. So in the upper part OF the
garden atta'ked to his fathers house he
formed kind OF cave, or grotto, and there
he sat in solitude gazing out upon the
beautiful bay of Largo, or wandered
through a secluded valley called the klel' 5
den. After few years the desire for the
sea again took possession OF him, and he
died lieutenant on board II. NJ ;. Wey-
mouth some time in the year lI23.
The island had again resumed its wonted
quiet, the only football that OF the clam
be-ing goat-the only sound that OF the
falling tree, lofty and primeval, or the hor-
rid rumble of the earthquake. No human
being came there until 1850, when the Span
ish government established colony con-
sisting of thirty-fve families and a small
garrison, but the settlement had hardly
been established when it was destroyed by
an earthquake The sea rose and over
whelmed the houses; the governor and his
family while at dinner were washed away
by the waves, and only few survivors, by
clambering to the highest places, saved
themselves to relate the melancholy tale.
These events had given Juan Fernandez
bad name, and when it became the prop
erty of Chill that government took ad-
vantage Of it to create there penal settle
ment for political offenders. 1t had al
ready been used as such by Spain, and
Chill appropriated it to the same purpose
during the war of independence, which
lasted from the year 1911 to 1878 After the
Gillian republic was established an effort
was made to colonize the island, but its
tragic fate was not yet worked out. The
small penitentiary that remained was al
most totally destroyed by an earthquake in
1885, and the Gillian government, after
making another vain attempt to colonize
the island, gave up and withdrew the gar
rison. Thus Juan Fernandez had shaken
off with the same ease castaway, colonist
and criminal
Nevertheless its fascination spread across
the vast leagues of water and drew thither
other colonists, other lovers Of solitude. A
