decided to strike out anew, and drawing
his money from the bank, he purchased
tickets for himself and wife and daughter
for San Francisco.
In America the little stowaway's father
Jared worse. Then the father wrote to
friends he had left in the Australian col
onies for assistance. They sent him
money, but it was sufficient only to pay
the fares Of the father and mother back
to Melbourne, where the head of the I'M
fortunate family had work awaiting him.
The little stowaway was left in the care
of distant relatives until the father could
send for her. The girl had good home
for couple of months, until the people
she was stopping with began to quarrel.
The quarrel ripened into a general family
fight, with the result that her home was
broken up. The family separated and left
the city, and just before the uncle" as
she called her guardian. left for the east
he gave her 81 and told her to shift for
herself"
She was alone in q strange city and
without a friend, and for two or three
days before the steamer sailed she spent
her time about the dock watching the
great iron ship, the only tie between the
poor outcast and her mother far across
the sen. How she lOnged to go on board
and ask to be taken to her home, but the
stern man at the gangplank awed her
At last the sailing day came, and bright
and early the little outcast was at the
wharf. Soon passengers began to 20 on
board, and the face of the Waterman
was wreathed in smiles. He was not such
an awful being now, and she thought she
could get past him. Twice she tried it,
but her courage failed her. A nickel was
all the money she had left, and she was
| hungry. She was beginning to wonder
what her fate would be, when there came
a crush at the gangplank Now was her
chance, and into the crowd she got in
the hurry of the passengers to get aboard
and in the indistinct light she got past
| the Waterman and on the deck She was
| found late in the night cuddled in a dark
| corner in the women's Storage by a Ger
| man passenger to whom she told her
| story. The kind-hearted lady shared her
| berth with her, and early the next morn
| ing she hunted up the officers and offered
/ to work for her passage.
Capt. Carey tried TO break her story but
! it was of no use. He threatened to put
! her in irons, or down the stoke hole, or
! leave her in Honolulu and carry her no
/ further unless she told the truth, but she
| stuck to her story.
| The little stowaway was bright and she
| soon became favorite on board with the
| officers and crew as we'll as with the pas
! sengers. When the Hawaiian islands
| investigated the stowaway became anx-
| ious She had heard nothing of the cap
| tain reversing his decision of landing her
| there and her German friend in the steer
| age shared her anxiety. The result was
| that the hat was passed among the sec
ond class passengers to pay her fare for
| the remainder of the rip. The amount
/ secured was very small, but 1t was given
| with a good heart, and the money was
turned over to the captain with pleadngs
! not to put the girl of.
Capt Carey had no intention of putting
