tam visited the french vessel. He said
his name was Joseph Fuller and that
his schooner was the Francys Allyn.
It happened that the French officers
had heard of his career, and some Of
them had read the novel in which his
exploits had figured One of them
writes that it was not among the least
surprises Of his life to find in this des-
olate land a parsonage who had fig
ured in a romance.
! He describes Capt. Fuller as tall and
gaunt, not the least like the typical
mariner. He has a white beard and a
smiling face, and his eyes are hidden
by spectacles, which give him the ap-
pearance more of a professor in Ger
man university than of an adventure
some whaling captain. His speech is
slow and thoughtful, which accentu-
ates his resemblance to a studious
German.
Capt. Fuller said that he knew every
foot of those waters. He had not seen
a single vessel in eleven months He
had a small crew, and they had been
cruising around not far from the
Kerguelen islands in their quest for
whales. They had not been very sue
cessful, but were gradually getting a
cargo. For eleven months the only
signs of life he had seen outside the
schooner were fish, an occasional
whale, and the penguins and rabbits
of the little archipelago. These
rabbits, by the way, had sprung from
a few pairs whish had been left there
several years ago, and which had
rapidly multiplied. Capt. Fuller told
the party all about the best anchor
ayes IN the bay, and directed them to
other inlets where ne said they would
find plenty OF water.
This picture shows the French in the
act Of formally taking possession of
the KerguclCn islands. A party of
marines were landed on a shore strewn
with volcanic dGbris. Several sailors
from the Araerican vessel joined the
party on shove, and as they all pre-
sentcd arms to salute the flag, the
transports cannon doomed. and the
islands were declared to be one of the
French possessions. The picture gives
a faithful representation of the Tito
whaling schooner, which very Likely
will soon appear in some American
port with the cargo that she has spent
over wear in securing

upon his promotion TO the rank of rear
admiral was ordered TO the command
of the South American station. Cir
cumstances have prevented him reach
ing the limits of his station. as he was
ordered to Europe in connection with
the Spanish Column bian celebration,

was actively engaged in various duties

Was to tow TO Havana from Spain the

years at sea. eighteen years on shore

lief in the service that every man who
has served with BenhaTn wants to serve
with him again, and there is no duty
wherein he would be asked TO lead
where volunteers would not throng.

Aeappearance of Capt. Fuller. an Ameri-
can WhaIer Whose Remarkable
Story Has Been Well Told
in French Novel.

About five years ago a dead alba.
tross was picked up on the southwest
coast of Australia. Around its neck
was tied a piece of tin, on which had
been scratched in French a few words
saying that thirteen sailors had been
shipwrecl1ed on one of the Crozets, a
little island group far southwest
toward the Antarctic ocean, and that
they were there with slender supplies.
awaiting relief Both England and
France sent men-of-war to the Crozets,
and found tina the albatross had indeed
brought true story across the waste
of waters TO the civilized world. But.
says the New York Sun. they did not
find the shipwreclled sailors. Under a
heap of stones the men had left a mes
sage, saying that they had been living
for some months on the island, depend
ing for food upon the birds and fish
they caught; and that on the following
day they were to start in small boat
for Possession island, about ninety
miles distant, in the hope that there
they would meet a whalcr. No further
trace of them has ever been found,
and they were undoubtedly lost during
the journey.
While the relief ships were at the
Crozets a little American schooner

commanded by Capt. Joseph Fuller.
He said he had been engaged in
whaling in those waters for months,
but unfortunately had not como to the
islands before the shipwrecl1ed mari
ners left them. He told the romantic
story of his enterprises in those de-
serted seas. and his narrative was re-
peated in the report of the search made
by the French and English command
ers This is how it happened that two
years ago Capt. Joseph Fuller and his
schooner came to figure in a French
novel, lie Fond dun Cnur," which
attained some popularity. He appears
in the volume in his proper person as
the only whaler who still hauntS the
waters that twenty years ago were
visited every year by quite large fleet.

The Lawyers Prepared for the Arguments
to Begin Today.
New BEDFORD, MASS, June 1S.-The
night before the legal battle is, as usual
in most conflicts, particularly quiet
and uneventlul one. The work of pre-
paration. among the counsel in the
Borden case, has been going on all day,
despite the fact that it was Sunday.
The work was considered one OF tho
essentials of good work to come. Con-
aultations and deliberations and active
efforts in tho line Of blocking out the
arguments on an effective basic, have
been keeping all parties directly inter.
ested exceedingly busy.
The concensus OF opinion here is that
Miss Borden will be acquitted in short
order, or that the Jury will disagree.
In the former event, It is understood
that she will retire quietly from tho
scene. Of so much unplelsantness as
quickly as possible. In the latter
event, there may come new trial or a
case Of nollG proscqui later on, she being
allowed to 80 on her own recognizauce
provided her counsel stands in the
breach,
