Solomon Island Snyages-
Andrew J. Ferguson, Yankee sailor,
was recently shipwrecked on the Solomon
islands. He had two companions in mis-
fortune known as Joe and Aleck. They
were discovered and mado prisoners by q
band OF natives numbering over 100 men
and as many more women. The captives
were conducted to the capital OF the is
lands, which consisted of a collection Of
nearly 100 huts about 10 fcet square, but
SO low that man could not stand erect in
one of them. The sides and tops Of the
huts were thatched.
Three pens were made for the prisoners.
Tho next act of the captors was to bring an
attractive meal Of goat flesh, eggs, fish,
bananas and breadfruit to which the sail
ors did ample justice. That night the pens
were guarded by men, who relieved each
other at intervals of about four hours. The
male guards were assisted by women. One
of them showed much interest in Fergu-

EXPLOSION ON THE EsMERELDA.

Modern Battlsships In South American
War-Tragio Fate Of Admiral 0rsu.
How the Huasoar Crew Fought Against
Fate Until Shot "a Pieces.
A few years ago the boundary troubles
between Chile, Peru and Bolivia resulted
in an alliance between the latter two to
mako war upon the former. For some
years Chile had been gathering q modern
navy, and when hostiIities were declared
she had several first rate cruisers. inolud-
ing the O'Higgins and the Coohrane.
These vessels were of little less than 10,-
600 tons displacement, possessed the twin
screw and were armorcd and equipped
with main batteries OF 10 and inch guns,
with full complement of rapid FIRE and
machine guns. To oppose those the allies
had but one vessel which could be consid-
cred in any way match for them. That
vessol the Huascar, OF the Peruvian navy,
was On armorcd cruiser about equal to the
Cochrano In displacement and armament
A military historian In the Philadelphia
Times states that when war was declared
tho Peruvian governments placed Captain
GTau, thoroughly experienced, bravo and
competent sailor of German descent, in
command Of the Huascar as the admiral of
tho allied nayies. Captain Prnt, friend
of Grau and an ablo seaman of English
descent, was placed in charge of the Chill
can squadron and put to sea in the Esmer-
elda, an unprotected cruiser, accompanied
only by her sister ship, the Independence.
While cruising Off Iquique on the 22d
day of May these vessels were spied by the
Huascar, and Admiral Grau decided to en-
gage them both, cleared his deck for action
and bore down upon them. Captain Prat
stood his ground, and an action com-
menced which soon demonstrated that no
number of wooden ships can stand before
the armored cruiser. The shot from the
Esmerelda and the Independencia, one of
which weighed 200 pounds, pelted the
Huascar stcacily at decreasing range, and
only one Of them made dent IN the ar
