TRAMPS ON SHIPBOARD.
A CHAMPION DEADHEkD THAT IN
TESTED A STEAMSHIP.

He Beat Mail Steamer After Being Aban-
doned in the South Seas-How the yagrant
of the Deep ExceIs the Land Tramp in
Ingenuity and Skill.
''The best illustration I can give you Of the
nerve Of the regular sea tramp Is the case Of
a stowaway ON the Mariposa ON her last trip
down to Australia, =" said a ship officer.
1t appears that when the Mariposa was
by couple of policemen VINO had warrant
for the arrest of ore Mike Culhgan, burly
city front celebrity who had belabored
companion in brawl so that the fellows life
was despaired Of The policemen searched
the steamer from stem to stern, but found no
trace of the missing Culhgan, though they
had received positive information that he had
slowed away. OF course the ships officers
were interested in preventing any stowaway
from beating his passage, and assisted the
policemen to the fullest. 1t seemed impossi-
bic that the fugitive could be aboard, and
the search was given up and the officers dis
embarked.
This was in the afternoon, and about six
hours later, when the steamer was well
out to sea, up wslks the missing CuIlgan
from his hiding place somewhere between
decks He was promptly hauled before the
captain, ana it was not possible TO land
him anywhere, and the law could hardly
have justified throwing him overheard, he
was sentenced 10 the hardest kind Of shovel
ing in the hreroom. The sentence had no
apparent effect on Culligan, who was a big,
strapping young fellow, and he took Of his
coat and handled the shovel in the coaInole in
way that showed he was an able bodied and
expert fireman The energy displayed by ths
stowaway won him the good opinion Of the
subordinate officers, and ss one Of the FIRE
men fell sick Culhgan was treated during the
trip 10 Honolulu like regular hand
PUT OFF AT HONOLULU.
Before reaching tho islands the captain
who heard Of Culhgan's good work, read MIN
a lecture full Of good advice, aad winding up
with the declaration that ne would be put
ashore at Honolulu and prevented from going
