island was fairly dry In all parts. We,
however, gave the ship all next day 90
get rid Of her water and harden In The
hot sun. You are prepared to hear,
of course. that she proved to be the
long lost Star Of India. We found that
out before VIC had been aboard of her
quarter of an hour and later on we
had dozen reasons for believing that
the dying Malay had spoken the truth.
] tell you that ship was a queer sight,
Her ocean bed had been hundreds OF
feet deep and the mud covered every
thing to tho depth OF foot--in some
places two or three. Neither one of us
had heard Of the Star or her loss, but
We knew this wreck to be that of an
Indianman, and we went at 1t to clear
away the stun and get into her We
We're a full week doing this, and at
every turn we came across evidences
to prove the story of the Malay. Three
or four Of her guns were yet in place,
and from the way she had been knocked
about by cannon shot 1t was easy to
figure that she had made q hard fight
and suffered great loss of life before
she gave in.
Even before we began work we found
the augur holes bored In her bottom to
scuttle her. The great cabin and every
state room had two feet of mud on the
floor, and may tell you that we
worked hard for four weeks before we
got the hulk cleaned out. In the mud
and among the mold and rot we found
rusty muskets, pistols, swords, pieces
of jewelry, cutlery, crockery, glassware
and what not, but In actual money we
found only sovereigns. A part of
the cargo had been wool, but we got
nothing whatever of value out Of 1t.
Indeed, when our work had been An
ished, we simply had big hulk rest
ing on land mile from the beach and
were only Ave gold pieces better off
than before. The pirates had swept
her clean Of treasure, plundering the
passengers before numbering them,
and we did not find in cabin or state
room so much as single bone of hui
man anatomy. We made the ship our
home for six months and were then
taken off by whaler, and our story
was the first news received Of the long
lost ship. The English government
sent a man-of-war to the island to over
haul the hulk, and mementoes of her
have long been on exhibition in the
British museum. Nothing could be
more queer than the way we found her
or rather the way she was heaved UP
by the sea to be discovered. From
soundings made to the east of the
island in 1S67-68 it was estimated that
the great ship rose from a depth Of
over 1000 feet. Nothing but an earth
quake could have lifted her from that
depth-nothing but tidal wave held
her up and swept her to orr feet.

here, of course, to recount the particu-
lars of that seven years conflict. Pa
tiently and steadily organizing and dis
ciplining the raw patriot militia and
volunteers into an army, Washington
at the same time closely invested the
British in Boston and finally drove
them to their ships in the harbor, from
which they sailed away, while the pa
triot army marched into the New Eng
land capital, which was never again to
be trodden by the footsteps Of an
enemy. Thus was scored a great sue
cess at the opening. Then followed
the march to New York to meet the
enemy, landing in great force on Long
Island; the brave but disastrous battle,
followed by that mastery retreat
which alone would stamp Washington
as a great general; the gallant stand
at White Plains; the reluctant but
stern and heroic winter retreat through
the Jerseys ended by the master coun-
ter strokes of Trenton and Princeton,
by which the great leader saved the
cause Of the revolution at its lowest
ebb. Then the next year the struggle
to save Philadelphia, the defeat at the
Brandywine, where Lafayette first shed
his blood in our cause; the loss Of
the continental capital and the well
planned but accidentally lost battle Of

Something akin to intelligence

"The washing is on the line" he
grieved.

the globe, whose victorious navies COW
cred every ocean and sea, whose morn
ing drum beat, as Webster said, was
heard round the world. 1t was against
such a power as this that this handful
of patriots had thrown down the gage
Of rebellion and defiance.
When England Closed In.
When England saw that the contest
was fairly opened her great navy closed
In upon our ports and landed upon our
shores different armies Of her veteran
soldiers, who had fought in the CONT
mental wars, and these were soon sup
plemented by trained Hessian soldiers,
hired and paid by her gold. These
armies were greater in numbers than
the colonies had to oppose to them.
And still, as they had to be transported.
so far, and to cover so wide a Held,
they were never very large, and the
battles of the revolution were never on
great scale as to numbers. The
country was new, there was next to no
cavalry and not much artillery, and the
engagements were thus mainly with
infantry and at close range. There
was little chance for tactics or man
euvers. All depended upon pluck, hard
fighting and endurance.
A PrOvIdentIal Man.
Washington is known in history as
providential man; that is, man
raised up by Providence to fill great
place and perform a great mission.
However this may be, he certainly had
great parts and great and peculiar fit
ness for the most difficult and trying
place which he filled in history. He
had had experience In the previous
Indian and French wars, and had prov
en- himself wise, competent and hero
ic officer. He had great personal adj
vantages for command. He was of fine
physique and imposing presence, a
splendid horseman, carrying with him
ever the port and air OF authority and
native majesty-an ideal commander.
Knew 1t Meant Freedom.
So when this noble Virginian appear
ed before that northern army and drew
his sword as their commander under
those Cambridge elms his fame had
preceded him and he was received with
ehouts OF welcome and of confidence.
Then all men knew it was to be a
struggle to the death. l have no room

Rer two daughters, and other men
and women Of note at home and
ABROAD. Aside from her general
cargo, the ship carried treasure to
the amount of $25O,OO0. The bank
ers at Madras figured out that the pas
sengers must have had at least $780, 900
among them, while an Indian potentate
on his way to be received as a. guest of
royalty had a strong box of iewelry
and gems valued at so great sum
that no one dared speak it. It was
intended that the ship should be con-
voyed as far as the Cape of Good Hope
by man-of-war, as there were plenty
OF pirate craft still afloat, but the gov
eminent vessel met with a mishap at
sea and was detained somewhere, and
the Star finally decided to sail with
out her, as there was little fear but
that she could take care of herself.
Two days out of Madras she was sight
ed and reported, but that was the last
seen or heard Of her until the year
1864.
The loss Of the Star made a great
sensation for several reasons, and when
1t was finally concluded that she had
been lost various vessels were sent in
search Of her and every effort was
made to ascertain her fate. In 1856
Malay sailor who died aboard of an
English tea ship told her captain that
the Star was attacked and captured by
pirates to the south Of Ceylon, and that
he was one Of the men engaged in the
attack. He said there were five ma
tive craft, and that they came upon
the Star in calm and carried her by
boarding. The ship made long and
stubborn resistance, but was finally
captured, and the pirates had suffered
such heavy loss that in revenge they
killed everybody to the last child. They
then looted the ship and scuttled her
and the plumber was subsequently d.
vided on an island in the China sea.
Some people believed this story and
some said it was absurd. The general
idea was that the Star foundered at sea
during heavy gale. The dying state
ment of the pirate was never fully in
vestigated for some reason. So far as
the investigation went it was proved
to be fact. The pirates had long

WashIngton,s pImcult Task.

The difficulties which encountered
Washington when he took up his great
trust as COMMUNICATIVE of the
continental army were most compli-
Gated and immense. The theater of
the struggle was vast one, geograph-
ically, stretching along the Atlantic
coast from Massachusetts to South
Carolina, while the whole population
was only three mlllions-not very
much greater than that of the state of
Michigan, and not so great into a mil
lion as that of Illinois. Out of this
small, scattering and peaceful popula-
ton an army was to be raised, organ
lied and equipped capable of contend
ing with the chief military and mari
time power of the globe. And 1t was
not to be a struggle between govern
ment and government, between one ma
ton and another 1t was a rebellion.
and there was really no central author
ity, no arms or warlike stores, no navy,
no treasury or financial system or re-
sponslbility. 1t was only brave and
patriotic people, small in numbers,
without discipline or military expert
ence, without arms and without money,
rushing thus bare-handed into a con-
flict with the mother-country their
own government; powerful nation,
which had recently been raised by the
genius of the elder Pitt to the front
rank among the great warlike nations
Of the world-a nation whose military
posts and possessions already dotted

HERD OF IRISH BULLS.

Some Mixed Metaphors Credited to Sons
of the Emerald Isle.
A collection of Irish bulls was pub
llshed recently by a contemporary.
Here are some of them, from House,
hold Words: A certain politician, late
ly condemning the government for Its
recent policy concerning the income
tax, is reported to have said: They'll
keep cutting the wool off the sheep that
lays the golden eggs until they pump
it dry" "The glorious work will never
be accomplished until the good ship
Temperance shall sail from one end Of
the land to the other, and with cry
of Victory! at each step she takes shall
plant her banner in every city, town
and village in the united kingdom" An
Irishman, in the midst Of a TRADE
against landlords and capitalists, de-
clared that 'if these men were landed
on an uninhabited island they wouldn't
be there half an hour before they
would have their hands in the pockets
Of the naked savages." Only a few
weeks ago a lecturer at big meeting
gave utterance to the following: "All
along the untrodden paths Of the future
we can see the footprints of an I'M
seen hand" An orator at one of the
university unions bore off the palm of
merit when he declared that "the Brit
ism lion, whether it is roaming the des-
erts of India or climbing the forests Of
Canada. will not draw in its horns or
retire into its she'll"

Washington and Napoleon.

Great soldiers are to be judged not
alone by success, by battles fought and
victories won-though this, of course,
is the great popular test-but by all the
circumstances and difficulties IN which
they are placed. There are great com
manders in history who have won fame
by avoiding battles, like the Roman
Fabius, and even by great retreats like
Xenophon with his ten thousand
Greeks. If Washington is to be COM
pared, to his disadvantage, with Ma
poleon, then the popular question is,
would Napoleon, under the same cir
cumstances, have done any better? 1t
is enough for any commander that he
fills the great measure of his require
ment. This, of course, is not saying
that Washington would have filled the
place of Napoleon in the vastly differ
