The storv Of Capt. Charles Kings
eventful life reads more like a work Of
romantic fiction than plain statement
of every day facts. Capt. Kings name
has become as familiar as a household
word to readers OF serial and magazine
literature the past few years, and he is
today one of the best known and most
widely read authors in America. The
demand for his stories is so great that
no less than six novels are now being
printed i'll as many magazines and sym
dictates besides several other important
new works, and he has enough orders
ahead to keep him busy every hour Of
the day for the next two years.
Cant. King has been writing stories Of
love and war steadily for the past six or
eight years, and in that time he has
turned out an incredibly large number
of novels, and what is still more remark
able, they are all good ones. Capt. King
is a soldier by instinct and profession, a
born ruler of men, but the receipt of
savage bullet and the appearance of one
or two military stories from his pen COM
hined to force him, somewhat reluctant
ly, into the field of literature The de-
mand for his stories gradually became so
great that he has been compelled to aban-
don everything else and become pro-
fessional novelist
Capt. Charles King is a resident of
Milwaukee. He lives in a pretty little
home on Prospect avenue, surrounded
by his happy little family-a wife and
several children. He is 46 years of age,

ENCOUNTER WITH AN ELEPHANT.

A Reuter- telegram states that Captain
Paterson, Of the Argyll Highlanders: who
was q passenger by the steamship Oriental
from Singapore, returns to England to recuit
from. severe injuries suffered IN a contest v
an elephant while shooting in an unfrequeu
ed part Of the Malacca Peninsula, between
Near and the Gemeuchi river. Captain
Paterson's gunmiSs9d fire, ana the elephant
he was hunting knocked him down, pinned
him to the ground by driving a tusk through
one Of his thighs, and then attempted to
crush him b. ..kneeling on him, Captain
Paterson, however, held on by the other
t1sk, whereupop the elephant passed his
trunk round the captains waist, threw him
to a distance of about 80 yards, and left him.
Lieutenant Sutherland, who was with Cap
tain Paterson, did the best he could for his
friend, but it was 27 hours before the latter
could OBTAIN any water beyond what Lieute-
nant Sutherland squeezed out Of plants into
his mouth. 1t was also eight days before
he could obtain any medical aid. In addi-
ton to the wound, Captain Paterson suffered
severe internal injuries from the elephants
trunk. He is, however, now recovering.
The scene of the accident is believed 10 be :

AN AUSTRALIAN GRACE
DARLING.

On the Bird April last the Johanna, a
German barque, well known III Australian
waters, left MauritiuS for Melbourne. For
some days everything was plain sailing;
then there followed a series of disasters
such as are nUL often met with even in the
annals Of the sea. One by one the crew
became FRUSTRATED by the MauIitiuS fever.
and when almost every hand uu board WAS
lying i'll, the snip was caught in "a gale.
Two men and one wOB1am were lett to work
the veSsel-Cdp tain Members, Mrs. Mein-
derS, and the chief male. The captains
wife-the heroine OF this brief narrative
had a double duty TO perform. She hau in
the first place to attend to the sick, and in
the next place 10 assist her husband and
the mate in the difficult task of runNing
the ship during The gale. But in spite of
her Efforts, death WAS busy. The sailors
died one alter the ether, and finally the
captain himSclf was stuck down. MIS-.
Members aud the Glai mate were lett alone
to fight The storm, AND 10 bring the vessel
TO port. For forty days this woman stood
at the wheel, saw to the rigging, and took
an active part III the management OF the
ship. Below, the crew lay sick and dying;
around her was nothing but CeaSelcss work,
danger and anxiety. To CROWN all, her
husband died. But the brave Woman held
on TO the very end, and the vessel finally
reached a haven of safety. The heroine of
this story, Margherita Members is ouly u
years Of age. She was married in 1882,
and has been at sea ever since. She has
two children-Oue a boy, now being educat-
ed i'll Germany Y, the other a little girl OF
five, who ran about thedeck o. the Johanna
through all it s experiences. 1t remains to
be Doted That the good people Of Melbourne
have determined THAT the suffering Of a
widow and a woman shall be lightened by
all the ways that are within the working of
humans. Ibid.
