ON CRUSOE'S ISLAND.
A Settlement Inhabited by a Few
Chilean and German Families.
MeIbourne ARGUS

Melbourne Argus.
II is not generally known that Juan
FernandeZ-the island on which Alexan.
der Selkirk. the Robinson Crusoe of ro-
nance. lived for so many years-is at the
present time Inhabited. Two valleys wind
ing down from different directions join a
short distance from the shore, and here
now stands little village of small huts
scattered round long low one-story build
ing, with veranda running its full length.
In this house lives the man who rents the
island from the Chilean Government, and
the village is made up of few German
and Chilean families.
The tiny town is called San Juan Bau-
tista, and the crater-like arm of the sea on
which it is situated, and where Alexander
Selkrk first landed, is now called Cum
berland Bay. The island is rented for
about e2OO year. The rent is paid partly
in dried fish. Catching and drying the
many varieties of fish and raising cattle
and vegetables sold to passing vessels con-
stitute the sole employment of the island
ers. The cattle need no care and the
vegetables almost grow wild. Turnips
and radisbes. first sOwn here by Selkirk
himself, now grow rank and wild in the
valleys like weeds. There is also a race of
wild dogs. which completely overrnn the
island, depending for existence mainly
upon S6alS. lHey are tu0 ueSCeDuaDIS Ol
the breed of dogs left by the SpanIards.
AT the back of the little town, at the first
high cliff, is a row of caves of remarkable
appearance hewn into the sandstone. An
unused path leads to them, and short
climb brings one to their dark mouths.
About forty years ago the Chilean Govern
ment thought that good way to get rid Of
its worst criminals would be TO transport
them to the island of Juan Fernandez.
Here. under the direction of the Chilean
soldiers. these poor wretches were made
to dig caves to live in. In 1854 they were
taken back again, however, and the caves
have since been crrmbling away.
The narrow ridge where Selkirk watched
is now called "The Saddle" because at
either end of 1t a big rocky hummock rises
like pommel. On one of these is now
large tablet with inscriptions commemora-
ting Alexander Selkirk's long and lonely
stay on the island. IL was placed there in
1868 by the officers of the British ship
Topaz. A small excursion steamer now
runs from Valparaiso 10 Juan Fernandez
Island. The round trip is made III six
days. and three of these may be spent on
the island in fishing and visiting those
spots which nearly 200 years ago were
fha hannts of Rohjpcop CruSOa.

as dark as smugglers running ankers or
brandy could desire. The family one by
one took leave sorrOwfully and anxiously
by gaining the oak from the sundial ap-
proach and Richard Byres piloted the
way through the park and along field
paths until we'll to the north Of the Danes
Dyke, huge rampant running across the
headland of Marlborough credited to the
rude skill of the Norsemen. Thence to
the edge of the cliffs was an adventure
without uni0ward result. Two smugglers
answered the signal of one long and one
little distance from a hut where they had
been ensconsed. They had their rope in
readiness and without more ado they made
their preparations.
On the brink of the dizzy. grass-tufted
cliff. with the sea glimmering gray far be-
low aud the roar of the breakers rising
with massive boom. Tom Guhnerson, the
leader. stood peering seaward. flashed his
lantern to and fro thrice. and waited.
Again the lantern was waved, and this
time a wall of a seabird reached the ear in
two calls and a light shone out momen-
tarily and was then doused. That's
BriDdon IN the boat" said the smuggler,
land we can trust him. Now for it,
A lasbing was lnterlaced into a kind of
rope seat, in which Reginald sat astraidle,
and a cord was also passed around the
waist and attached to the main rope, which
ne clutched hrmly Dv the hands. One OF
the men sat down and planted his feet
firmly against a hummock of grassy
ground. The rope passed round his back
to Reginald. and was paid out by the sec
ond man, after seeing him swing clear of
the precipice.
Heaven preserve you" said Richard
Byres as he wrung his Cousins hand.
GOD bless your' was feryently re-
peated several times by the fugitive.
Keep a good heart; all's safe," was
Tom Gunnerson's assurance.
Down into the darkness the rope was
paid out coil after coil. and the weight
kept on increasing unit! over 800 feet had
measured the depth. Then there was a
sharp vibration several times as signal
that no more was needed, and soon the
weird cry that first was heard came from
below again. and ere long, out from the
base and beyond the surf, a light flashed
farewell.
A friendly lugger was boarded a few
miles off the headlaud. and the fates being
proDitlous Reginald Dacre reached the
friendly shores of France. His exile lasted
five years and then he returned to North
cumberland, quite satisfied with his share
OF rebellion. His letters to one of the
Byres family in particular were extremely
dutiful and affectlOnate, and when the
opportunity came he married his cousin
Ethel, and they oft recalled those times of
peril which brought them together in the
dark days of AS. ID. J. MCRoBERTS.

The groggy Captain Tring had warmed
into positive gloating over his capture,
and was prepared to celebrate the event
in ditty, but he had the prudence to TO l.
low the men through the yard tC a harness
and lumber shed where a sergeant and six
men were on duty loosely carousing over
a can OF beer which had been replenishe ed
several times already early in the night.
The prisoner was given in charge with as
strict iDjunctions as stern commands and
a seasoning of oaths could make plain. and
was taken TO an inner stall and corded TO
a post. Then Tring departed to tell the
news to his colonel.
But he did not explain every thing to his
superior officer. 1t was quite unnecessary
In wartime to say that his prize had ex-
posed him as cheat, bully and conscience

And be dealt the officer, who was burly
bully, unsteady on his legs from libations,
blow with his clenched list ON the mouth
and chin, and down he fell, sprawling in a
litter of stable refuse. The soft heap saved
his Uranium and back. and in an instant he
was on his feet, clutching at Reginald by
the threat and roaring Treason! A rebel
by! Help in the Kings nameH
The hubbub drew half dozen troopers
to the spot, and in a minute Reginald was
firmly prisoner in the hands of ruffians
little inclined by their profession and
habits to gentle methods.
The mortified captain, who had been
periumed in the straw, held lantern up
to Dacle's face as he stood, breathing hard,
pinned against wall between two dra-
goons, and started back in astonishment.

ceeded In appropriatlng brace of
horse pistols that hung conveniently
within reach. This feat over, he had
little trouble in exploring his way along
the roof to the edge of an alley, and ali
being quiet Oh a dark night, he was clear
in an ancient city be knew well. He had
a few hours to put to good account and he
rapidly revolyed possibilities. To now
venture back 10 Darlington was out of
the question. 1t meant his arraignment
for treason and his neck being stretched.
If he could fee TO France his safety would
be assured, and in time his escapade might
be forgotten and his estates not escheatpd.
There was chance to sail from Whitby
or Hull, and as good fortune had il his
uncle, Sir Dobbington Byres, lived at
Dalswinton Hall, near marlborough.
There he could lie in hiding until the
friendly aid of a vessel could be obtained.
To get out of the city was his first care.
Its walls had withstood many siege and
we're once formidable, but after Crom-
wells Gay they had fallen into disrepair,
although the castle was still something of
a stronghold when there was nothing
better than howitZers to pound it. The
gates. with their handsome barbicans and
arch ways, were closed. but a little explora-
tion cautiously conducted enabled him to
scale the wall at low part on the eastern
side and to breathe In relief the air of
freedom. Out into the low, fiat country
and nearing a manor farm stealing of
some pretension TO comfort thought
struck him.
Desperate straits warrant desperate
courses. He stole serviceable horse out
of the stable, using powder and paper al

tering to the eastward. putting many a
mile between him and York. There were
friends of the Jacobites by the way that
be knew of, and in a sparsely peopled and
wild country, over great tracts of wold and
moor. he had the happy fortune to evade
too intrusive questions and to find shelter
and good fare when he halted. In two
days his jaded horse carried him into the
courtyard of Dalswinton Hall, an ancient
mansion OF strong mascnry, designed TO
afford defense in rude times, without
taking rank as castle with keep and
moat, battlements and draw bridge.
Early riser as he was, Sir Dobbington
Byres had not taken his morning ride
when Reginald drew rein, aud was sur

upon making the acquaintance of stran-
