Senator Lodges Hawaiian resolution,
which will come up soon after the re-
assembling of congress, has caused the
few friends of the administration to
work over time in trying to explain why
the recommendation of Admiral Walker,
to keen a Z. S. war vessel at Honolulu,
was turned down. They say that the
administration was actuated by a desire
to let the royalsts of Hawaii understand
that this government did not intend to
restore the queen, ard that the removal
of the L. S. vessel then at II ,nolulu was
considered the best way IT, do it. To
make this argument appear plausible 1t
is stated that an understanding bad
keen reached with the British govern
ment by the administration, of which
Admiral Walker was ignorant, which
made it perfectly safe to withdraw our
vessels. 1t will take the official docu-
ments to convince congress- that their
statements represent the truth.

ever since the Middle Ages. Francis

reminiscent tone.
The other passengers in the smoker
naturally asked him to tell it, they all
having exhausted their supply of yarns

1t was in the winter of '73 that I

New York for Valparaiso. 1t was Just
after doubling the cape that the trou-
BILE began; and right here let me saw
the cape was bad enough without dou-
bling it, but orders is orders on ship
board.
About noon it fell dead calm, which
made us all look alive for gale. 1t
came on soon enough, and our masts
went by the board, leaving us without
stick OF timber. However. we had
plenty OF cordwood, and managed to
keep a fire going in the galley.
This was lucky, for without the fire

though one man lost both arms by get

were q hard-looking set not one of us
having seen soap or fresh water since
having left the ship, but we looked
better after having been washed ashore.
I'VE found that we had landed on an
island. There was a great swell on
shore the first day, and we afterward
saw little cove running inland, but
there were no other signs Of life.
I'VE had nothing to live on but the
country, and fortunately there was
plenty OF that, but it soon became mo-
notonous. and we longed for a change
of diet. About the third day one of
the women deserted a sail-a woman

know-and as we saw the stranger
hugging the shore we hugged ourselves
for joy.
