Escaped In a Flour Sack.

Sir John Waters, says the author of
''Luglish Eccentrics, was the most
admirable spy ever attached to an army.
II the peninsular war he gave Lord
Wellington the most accurate and yalu-
able information about the Spaniards
AID their movements. On one occasion
h. was taken prisoner by company of
Spanish dragons while still clad in
the English uniform. He was supposed
to be stupid Britisher who could not
understand a word of French or Span
ish, and his captors conversed freely be-
fore him.
He learned from his guards while
riding between them that they were 60
ing to kill and rob him at an old mill
where the company was to stop for din
ner. They would pretend that they shot
him because of his attempt to escape.
On reaching the mill the dragons
dismounted and went into the house,
leaving their prisoner outside in the
hope that he would attempt to escape.
The instant they were out Of sight
Waters threw his cloak upon a neigh
boring olive bush and mounted his
cooked hat on top. Some empty -four
sacks lay ON the ground and into one
of them he crawled. A moment later
the dragons came out, fired their car
bines at the supposed prisoner and gal
Hoped off, intending to return later to
rife the body.
A horse, loaded with sacks of -four,
stood near the door, and Sir John, still
enveloped in the sack, managed to
throw himself ON the horses back, as
if he were part of the load. The owner
at length came out, mounted and rode
away, without detecting the peculiar
contents of one of the sacks.
When far enough away for safety, Wa
tiers, finding his position most uncomfort-
able, managed to free himself from the
sack and sat up. The horseman, chano-
ing to look around, beheld the man
covered with -four and took him to be
ghost pcrched behind him. Terrified at
the sight, be fell over in a swoon, and
the supposed ghost thrust him to the
ground and galloped OFF
Sir John reached the English camp
further adventure and was
greeted by Wellington.

Indian Relics Found In New York.

No systematic researches had been
undertaken by any explorer within New
York city prior to the spring of 1890,
when the accidental finding of the frag-
ments of a beautiful jar at Inwood sug-
gested the possibility of other specimens
of aboriginal handiwork in that vicin-
ity. The vessel was found in an excava-
ton made near the present DyCkman
street, at its junction with the proposed
Sherman avenue Quantities of decay
ing oyster shells on and near the sur
face of the ground indicated an Indian
feasting place, and an examination of
the deposit revealed split bones, bits of
rude pottery and a number of arrow
points of quartz. The character of the
place being apparent, an archaeological
enthusiast made extensive excavations
and recovered a number of human skel-
etons which his fancy connected with
the objects found upon the surface, but
which are without doubt the bones of
early settlers of the valley, the graves
being marked with headstones and re-
membered by old residents as part of
colonial cemetery.
Shortly after the discoveries at Dyck-
man street an extensive deposit of oys-
ter shells was examined near the ex-
IRENE northern end of Manhattan Island,
at a place commonly known as Cold
Spring, little nook on the southerly
side of Spuyten Duyvil creek where
the creek curves to the south before it
empties into the Hudson river. The
suspicion that the shells marked the
site of an Indian village was verified
by the finding of many objects of abo-
riginal art associated with the debris
from ancient feasts. Doubtless it was
from this village that came, ON Oct. 8,
1909, 100 Indians who set out in their
canoes and attacked Henry Hudson ON
his return down the river.
