ting leagues between them and the
French vessels and the six of their own
men whom they had left behind.
After this the Cirque Ports had vary
ing fortunes, until she again dropped
anchor at Juan Fernandez. September,
1904, to find that four of the men whom
they had left behind six months before
had been captured by the French, and
the other two had spent six months in
the wild pleasures of seal and goat hunt
ing, fishing and Incidence, living on the
abundant fruits of the island.
While these men had been enjoying
innocent ease and life devoid of care,
as their account of their sojourn pic
tured, Selkirk had been beset by wars
without and within" and when not in
the midst OF scenes of bloodshed. he had
been engaged in a bitter feud with his
brutal commander, and surrounded by
the strifes and discussions of the crew.
In moment of blind and desperate
longing to escape from all this strife,
Selkirk asked to be left behind, with his
scanty effects, upon the island
But no sooner had his request been
granted, and the ship about to hoist an
Choir, than a full sense of his folly and
the maddening realization of his desola-
ton and peril came over him, and he
cried and entreated with outstretched
hands to be taken aboard. One nara
tive says that he even rushed into the
sea as far as he could go, and stood gaz-
ing out after the retreating ship until
the darkness began to settle down about
him; and that as the vessel set sail, the
revengeful Stradling stood on deck and
laughed at poor Sellzirk's calamity.
For many days the half-crazed man
staid by his sea chest and bundles on the
beach, hoping against hope that the yes
sci might return, tormented by all the
/ superstitions concerning spirits and spec
ters, with which the sailors are familiar
Not until his forces we're we'll nigh eX

For nearly two years Selkirk kept
quite closely to the beach and watched
for friendly sail; but gradually he be-
came more and more content with his
solitary lot, and found JOY in the quiet
round of the days, which he spent in
chasing the wild goats and DEMONSTRATING
them, tanning cats, adding to his COM
forts, reading his Bible, and praying
aloud.
Although he several times caught
sight of sail upon the distant horizon,
only two ships ever dropped anchor in
his harbor previous to his deliverance,
which occurred at o'clock on the after
noon of January 81, 17O9. These ships
were both Spanish vessels, and would
have carried him into fearful slavery

The discomfort among the crews ran

in outright mutiny while on the island,
had not French vessel hove in sight.
In the haste and confusion of giving her
chase, five or six of the sailors who had
strayed into the interior of the island
were left behind, but Selkirk was not
one of them.
After a severe engagement, the French
merchantmen managed to escape. They
turned about and were going to put into
the bay at Juan Fernandez again, when
they discovered two immense French
vessels, heavily gunned, at anchor there.

made known his presence before satisfy

But despite his caution, he was, on
one of these occasions, discovered and
chased, and would probably have been
taken had it not been for his superior
swiftness of foot.
On the 31st of January, 1909, after
Selkirk had been on the island four
years and about three months, he
watched the ships, the Duke and the
Duchess, ride into his little harbor and
send boats ashore. He knew the men to
be Englishmen, and FASTENED to welcome
them. At first they were shocked by
his strange appearance, but soon learned
his story and took him aboard the

trously, was acting as pilot. On
Dampier's recommendation Selkirk
was appointed mate and gained fortune
from the Spanish vessels which they
captured IN the next four years.
In 1712 he returned secretly to Largo,
and was sitting in the old church when
discovered by his aged and devoted
mother, whose affection was too strong
whole kfrkful of neighboFs.
Here, in his native town, SellSirk lived
for some three years, spending most Of
his time in solitary rambles about the
widest Scottish glens in his country, or
in sailing alone along the rugged shore,
stunning human society and signing for
the solitude of his peaceful isle.
Not all of his rambles, however, were
entirely solitary. He occasionally fell in
with lass who was tending her moth
er's COW, and finally fell in love with her
and persuaded her to go with him,
secretly, to London, where it is supposed
they lived together until her death. In
1924 Frances Candis, a fashionable
woman, came to Largo to prove her
right to Selkirk's property, under
a viii, dated Dec. IL, 1920. She also
proved her marriage with Selkirk, and
his death, in 1928, on board the Wey-
mouth, of which he was Lieutenant. II

He took the situation in,
And asked poor Patrick on his bough
If he was picking apples nOw?"
Poor Patrick. in brogue of wrath,
Told how he had received a bath,
How he had whipped the boys at school,
That they might better know his rule,
How by his actions Philip had
Shown that he was the guilty lad,
How he had chased him to the yard,
And found the ''bloOdy pup" on guard,
How both the dog and boy agreed,
How he'd been bitten, beaten, freed,
How all his school stood grinning by,
How he would conquer Phil or die.
He asked the father there to stay,
And call the watchful dog away,
To see him capture Fighting Phil"
That he might wallOp him until
He had been truly conquered, and
Resigned the right to his commando
The father tried to call away
The dog, but Brave would not obey;
Then, thinking Phil perhaps was right,
Left them to settle their own fight.
McNanly could not teach his school,
For ''up a tree he could not rule;
So Philip, with most prudent sense,
Made Pat revoke the morn's Offense;
Made him there feel his littleness,
To use his rod trihe less,
To promise, up that apple tree,
That he q kinder man would be;
Made him the by-word of the town,
Before he let the tyrant down;
Made him cool off-for Phil's delight
Was a surrender or a fight.

Again assumed its place in schools;
But from that morn young Fighting PIN.
