over TO the north and east. in the lee
OF Kennedy island, was a big steamer.
Purser Ballantine got out skyrockets and
signaled TO her. In answer the steamer
sounded three blasts. The best Of 1t was
that she was going south and would be
able 20 take away the entire population
OF the island. Capt. Pierce went out to
speak TO her, and n hundred or more pas
sengers who greatly desired to so south
prepared to leave the island. After
long interval the steamer began to move
away, and half an hour later the captain
returned and stated that il was the Brit
ish steamer Danube. and that the Al-Ki,
the Elder and the Coquitlam had all been
aground but that the Al-Ki would be
down the next morning. There was great
disappointment that Capt. Pierce had
not given the passengers an opportunity
TO get away on the Danube. Provisions
were getting scarcer, and actual starva-
ton was feared by many.
Thursday morning dawned clear. but a
cool wind was blowing. Early in the day
two steamers were seen approaching from
the south. Capt. Pierce went out to the
first. 1t proved to be the Noyo with a
schooner in tow. A mile in her wake was
the whaler Thresher. The captain of that
vessel was visited by Capt. Pierce. and
when the small boat came ashore the cap
tain announced that the Thresher would

The Al-ki Arrives.
All day the rocky cliff was thronged
with despairing men and women hoping
to get glimpse of some boat from the
north. AT last the Al-Krs smoke was
seen far away toward the mouth of the
Skeena river. Slowly it drew near, and
hnaily came to anchor off the island n
mile. All the boats belonging to the Co.

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.
They Also Play Cricket, But Not Ac
cOrdfnE to Rule.

CURLING 10
Travellers in South Africa have noted
the fact that where monkeys congre-
gate in large numbers they also in
dulge in games of certain kind. Two
of these games seem to resemble cricket
and football.
The cricket is of a primitive order.
About a dozen monkeys stand in a
circle, or whatever is akin to the simian
IDEA of a circle. Two of them advance
from different extremities of the cir
Gle and stop about Is yards apart, fac
ing each other. The monkey at the
southern end of the circle has cocoa
nut in his hand. Tie is the bowler.
The monkey at the other end does
not, as you might suppose, WELD a
full cane bat His business is to dodge
the cocoanut which the bowler aims at
his head. The delivery of the bail is
tremendously fast. full pitched and
fraught with dire results if it touches
the spot" When it does happen to
touch the spot-that is, any part of the
monkeys body-that monkey is very
much out and doesn't even stop to
dispute the question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too. receives his dismissal. 1t was
presumed by the travellers that the
game was finished when a majority Of
monkeys lay nursing their wounds I'm
der the friendly shade of neighbor-
ing palm.
The football is of more advanced
type. 1t is also played with cocoa
nut. The game. if anything. is un-
doubtedly the "sockcr" game, and is
played with the feet. OF course there
is no goal nor any tactics to speak of.
the object of each animal being to keep
the ball to himself as much as possible.
Still the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble a real game of foot
en-" and the dexterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs is surprising
and wonderful.
In an evil moment some ambitious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball and
making off. but the game then develops
into war, in which life is sometimes the
prize.
No mention is made of a referee, but
if there is one about, like n wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up 4
