SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-None but

Robinson Crusoe, on an uninhabited spot
out OF the track OF ships. Given few
feet OF timber, and the free use of his
skilful hands, and Freitsch would laugh

the sea- and as satisfied OF his safety as
though walking down the main avenue OF
his native city. Success In this direction

daring things. and he now intends TO sail
