Noticing TINT several of the men car
ried boomerangs, some one proposed
that they should earn the coveted
dainties by a competitive exhibition of
skill.
None of the party spoke English, but
they understood what was wanted ut
once and quickly arranged for the con-
test. Selecting tolerably level piece,
of ground they drove into the sun
baked soil one of their wooden spears
and hung upon it 'possum rug. Ten
yards or so in front of this they made
send-off crease. Then each one of
the party, standing in succession upon
this mark, with his back to the target,
made three consecutive throws, the
trick being to make the missile return
over the thrower's head and strike the
target if possible.
There were fourteen natives in the
group; thirteen of them had competed,
but none had come within a foot of the
mark, while some had missed it by six
wards or more. The fourteenth man, a
tall, shiny fellow, the top of whose
head was literally bedaubed with red
ochre, now tocd the scratch and at
his third turn actually hit and knocked
down the pendant 'possum rug. Thus
out of forty-two shots one only had
proved perfectly accurate.
We suitably rewarded all the COM
petitors and gave to the victor don BILE
mess of sugar, and, best of all, a plug
of "nigger-head" tobacco.
Then a number of us tried our hands
at the game, but only O'Brien could
make anything of it.
He seemed to catch on at once, and,
getting the winning black to instruct
him, kept trying until he succeeded in
making some remarkably close shots.
He then wound up the performance
by giving the tall savage a valuable
four blade knife in exchange for his
boomerang, and the delighted black
fellows went off toward their moorong
(cluster of bough huts).
They had not got two hundred yards
away, however. when Dick uttered a
yell of dismay, and, exclaiming:
Boys, my ring is gomez ran frantical-
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1893-01-28

held out the ring. Then regretted my
abruptness. Poor Dick gave one glance
with amazed, wide-open eyes, turned
white, reeled for an Instant to and fro
and, with an inarticulate cry, sank in a
heap to the ground.
But there on my outstretched palm
still shone the priceless ring Twas
no cheat, beguiling his overwrought
senses. Now it lay in his own grasp,
tangible, real, untarnished! Carefully
he scanned the inscription, as if, per-
chance, some moclsing demon might
have assumed it's outward form. All
doubt was gone, and in another mo-
fhent the precious token had found its
old resting place.
Then the overjoyed fellow shouted
and laughed and cried, hugged half a
dozen of us in turn, fondled the lucky
boomerang and otherwise disported
himself like lunatic, while the sym.
pathetic spectators cheered themselves
hoarsc out of pure delight for his hap
piness.
1t is needless to say that O'Brien did
not then leave the gold fields. On tho
contrary, he staid long enough to make
modest fortune-all owing, he said,
to the ring-and returned with me to
New York. via Cailao and the Isthmus
of Panama, late in the summer of 1854
Though l have not seen them for
twenty years, he and his wife still live,
believe, on Long Island, not far from
Brooklyn. On my last visit, in 1872,
found their two eldest sons, stout boys
of fifteen and sixteen, amusing them
selves with the time-honored boome-
rang, whose story was quite familiar to
them, and my old friend still wore the
historic ring, sound as ever, though
somewhat reduced in weight.

Bank burglars Frustrated.

GREENvILLE, Tex. Jan. 24.-At 4
o'clock Sunday morning while Mr. Il.
E. Ward was passing the First National
bank building he noticed u man in the
doorway and the door open behind him.
He passed on, intending to give an alarm,
when few steps away one of the rob-
bers called to him to stop, to which he
paid no heed. The robber thereupon
fired upon him and Mr. Ward drew a
revolver and fred upon the rob-
bers six times. The robbers re.
turned the fire and Ward fell
on the street unconscious. When
the bank was examined it was found
that the safe door was blown to atoms
and $40. 200 in silver stacked at the east
door of the building, but s15O,OOO in
gold and currency in the steel chest
was not reached. The robbers were
frightened away and only obtained
about 81, 900. They left all their tools,
electric batteries, etc, behind.

ly after them. But after much sign
talking and many vehement gestures
on the part of the natives he returned
crestfallen, and the whole camp, over
a hundred diggers, at once turned out
to look for the ring. Every inch of
the ground was tramped over and over
and the search kept up for hours, but
in vain.
We then concluded that the ring, at
all times Il little loose, had been jerke6
off the wearer's finger by the boomer
ang, and, as it could not be found, that
the blacks had it, despite their en-
phatic denials. But how to recover it?
An average white mans cunning is as
nothing compared to that of an Aus
tralian blackfellow, and the task
seemed hopeless.
O'Briens distress was pitiable to see.
The great, strong fellow appeared to-
tally overcome by grief. He sat down
and cried like child and to all at
tempts at consolation only answered.:
'It's no use, boys, l can work no more.
My only comforts gone. I'll go down
to Melbourne and leave for home by
the first ship"
All the diggers in our camp were
deeply touched by this little incident.
Dick was general favorite, altogether
apart from the pathos of his loss, and
at last some of us pers uaded him to
stay-at least until he should employ
some half civilized native from the
nearest sheep station to visit the sus-
pected band and negotiate for the re-
turn of the ring
This step he took the next day. but
it resulted in nothing. The messenger
told us, in his broken English: Black
fellow no got him. .Givee up quick but
no got him." Further inquiry
was useless. O'Brien gave up all hope
of recovering his treasure, and it's loss
so preyed upon him that he sank into
a state of deep melancholy, and when
we learned, through a stray copy of
the Melbourne Argus, that no ship
would leave Port Phillip, direct for
New York, within month, he became
half crazed.
AT this time he was washing out u
surface claim which, so far, had
panned ont we'll. After day or two
we coaxed him to go on with the work.
| But his heart was not in it. Even
| while the checlk-slats of his cradle
showed heavy streaks of gold, he
| would suddenly cease rocking and sit
listlessly down to brood over his mis-
| fortune.
Meantime, the sight of the once
priced boomerang had become hateful
to him and he would have burned il
had not one of us begged it as gift.
"Confound the thing" he muttered
sit has brought trouble enough. Don't
let me see it again, or I'll smash it.
So utterly disheartened, so desperate
ly homesiclS did the poor fellow become
that he began to waste away in muscle
and soon he was physically unfit fol
hard work. One day, in the week fol
lowing that of his loss, saw him sit
ting, in a fit of detected abstraction, or
the edge of his pudding tub. Himself
quite unconscious of the fact, the tear,
were trickling down his cheeks and h,
looked the very picture of woe begon,
wretchedness.
"Why, Dick, old man, cheer up!"
