A CLOUD OF SWALLOWS

Two days after leaving Port Said. Fpypt.

April 30. at 6 p. NJ, latitude 30 deg. north.
longitude % deg. east. Looking southward
/ observed what appeared to be a small
black cloud rising and coming steadily to-
ward our steamer. When looked again a
few minutes later. instead of seeing the
cloud l saw some hundreds of swallows.
They flew around our steamer several times.
as though undecided whether to s. ay until
the storm passed away or not At last. lust
before dark, several of them alighted on the
stayrim vi our main funnel, which was soon
one black mass Of birds. The rain came
down In torrents and IL was pitifu, TO see
those frail creatures struggling with the
wind and rain.
Those Of them that could not find roost-
ing place soon commenced to fall on deck
quite helpless. L picked up all those that
tell on the bridge-deck and lodged them In
the chartroom. Those birds that fell on the
fore deck were sheltered In the forecastle
by the crew. The next day came in bright
and clear. with light westerly breeze, and
all the swallows took fight just at sunrise.
flying In northwesterly direction. The
captive birds were soon set free and they
followed in the wake of the others. | may
say that all the birds we had were able to
fy except one and 1t died during the day.
Several dead ones were found ON the decks
at daylight. These birds had beautiful
piumage and 1 fancy they looked rather
smaller than the swallows / have seen in
England. The. captive birds had golden
brown feathers Just above and below the
break. and white breast; back. black
feathers with blush tinge; wings and

This would awe the ignorant inquirer
after "the railroad time-ta ble" but il would
not awe a man who knows that there Is
nothing wonderful about railroad or about
many railroads, for men OF brains have
given up improvement in that direction and
are looking for other means of communica-
ton, which science is bound to discover
before long,
Even these will not be so very wonderful
in the course Of time, though they may
send men. women and other baggage
through the air at the rate of 200 miles an
hour.
What Is really wonderful. when one
comes to think it all over, is that an Ameri-
can city OF 100000 people should have re-
NAMED at the mercy of a single transpOr-
taton company for twenty years and not
have moved hand or foot to have secured
Its release from commercial bondage that
has so fettered its progress.

His trade mastered, in 1S49 Mr. Cra wtord
sailed for America, landing in Bos ton, and
there experienced much difficulty In obtaiu-
ing employment owing TO the hostility
manifested in Boston at that time to the
employment OF foreigners Of any nation
aty.
He remained in Boston, however. until
1852, when he came to California under an
agreement 10 90 into partnership with an
acquaintance In mercantile business, but on
arriving here he found things different from
what he had been led 10 expect, and in con-
sequence went 10 work once more at his
trade.
He came around the Horn in the Stag
hound. landing in this city on July 4,
1852.
His first enterprise on landing was to
join In the common hunt for gold, but as a
miner lie was not successful. Times how
ever. were good In California In those days.
Money was plentiful and wages high, and

Front street. near Pacific.
lie continued in the sai-making business
until 1869, but in 1862 he began TO branch
out In the ship-chandlery line which in turn
led him into a general exporting and i'm
which he conducted up to his death.
The more he experimental as a trader In
the South Seas the more convinced he was
that there lay the fortune he was seeking,
aod he butft his tredc rapidly. Iu
1871 the firm of which Mr.. Crawford was
the head took contract for carrying tile
mails for the French Government from this
CITY 10 the Islands and kept il alone until
1913, when he went in with other parties In
the contract, which they retain at the pres
ent time.
His rapidly growing trade In the south
made II necessary for him % have a brauc
house somewhere in the islands, and he
selected Tahiti as the place, founding a
business there and at once adding to his
fleet OF vessels engaged In the trade Among
the vessels he owned were the Annie John
son. the Margaret Crocker. the Staghound,
the Greyhound and the TTopic Bird the
vessels, save the last-named, averaging
about 80 tons and worth from $4,000 to
$40, 900 each
The success OF the Tahiti house led Mr..
Crawford to establish other branch houses
in Taiohae. In MaIquesas, one in Jaluit.
Marshall Islands, and one in the Gilbert
group. and all of which proved paying In
vestmrnts.
He was married in 1875, and his widow
and two sons survive him. He was a Royal
Arch Mason and one # the founders of
Calvary Presby terian Church.
Andrew Crawford's death will be hsayily
felt by the men engaged in commerce here

way OF handling all vexed questions will be
missed by those with whom he had been so

The gun Itself is a massive contriv-

gunner stands On a platform, which, by

with movable 1ukes and containing in its
head a shell charged with explosive matter.
