THE APES MUTINIED.

ON A VOYAGE FROM AFRICA THEY
CAPTURED THE SIP.
Drove All tho Crew Excepting The Cap

Apy-A Useful Bunch Of Bsns.na..
II have had some strange crews in
my experience, said old Captain Ben
son, 'but the funniest kind of q ships
company that I ever sailed with WAS
one Of big African apes, and it happen-
cd in this way:
1t WAS during that period of the
If time OF the great Snowman p. T.
Barnum, when he had his museum ON
lower Broadway in New York city,
that my vessel was chartered by him to
90 out to Africa and to bring back
cargo OF wild animals that his agents
In that country had collected. We had
three big and two baby elephants in the
hold, also rhinooeros and q giraffe,
while in wooden houses on deck we car
1ied several zebras, number Of ante
lope and deer, also ten huge apes as
large as men and looking in the face
exactly like the cartoons of the Emer-
aid Isle natives found in the humorous
papers. The apes were very intelligent
And were capable Of being taught many
amusing tricks.
ION our voyage home had occasion
number Of times to advise the officers
and men against teasing these creatures,
telling them that they were known to
POSSESSES good memory and were re-
ven8eful and would surely make it
point to get even with their tormentors
q tho first opportunity, but az the
heavy wooden bars divided them from
the hairy faces that scowled at their
funmaking they felt safe enough to
give no heed to my warnings. The
mates and sailors took good care, how
ever. TO pass at safe distance from the
caeo In going about their work, for on
two OF three occasions the alert occu-
pants had been known TO suddenly
thrust forth long muscular arm and
grip tho unwary seaman in such saw
age way Is TO elicit howl Of pain on
Jacks part. I could go among them
without the slightest fear and several
tiues entered their cage Tor the purpose
q caxing for siokly little baby ape
that had been born just after leaving
Africa, and for which the ocean voyage
subsequently, proved too heroic as is
died before we reached New York.
One morning the crew were all
aloft On the yards furling sail, for it
WAS blowing strong and the ship had
ben obliged to reduce her spread Of
oAnvaA had taken the wheel, and the
two mates were going from mast to
mast helping the work along by haul

The apes had been fed q short time be-
lore and IL must have been that / had
cA.elessly fastened the bar that secured
the cage door, for while was looking
aloft heard startled yell from my
two officers. and the next moment they
were climbing mp the rigging like mon
keys themselves, while the crowd OF
apes came leaping aft in pursuit of
them.

witnessed was presented sir re tho
