myriads OF great insects which We
reused and dislodged was deafening;
while the black clouds of gad-fies and
cockroaches were very bewildering
and, to say the least, annoying.
We floundered and fell as we waded
through this sea of leaves and verd-
ure; but rose and scrambled on again,
pausing ever and anon, breathless and
exhausted, TO sit and fan ourselves. or
to aid in pulling each other out of this
jungly network, for it resembled that
which sprang by magic spell around
the palace of the sleeping beauty in
the old fairy tale to battle all intrud-
ers for a hundred years.
Hislop, who had not yet recovered
his strength, was among the first to
give in, and declare. when half way up,
that "he could climb no furtherr'
Two or three took advantage Of this
admission to remain with him for a
time; but l, refreshed by a ripe ba-
mana which had fallen from the trees
at the top, and which l found just
at hand. pushed on. and being lighter
than any of my companions, got ahead
of them all.
After half an hours severe toll, dur
ing which my hands and knees were
lacerated and torn by sharp blades of
gigantic grass. and by the gummy
creepers To which ones very flesh ad-
hered at times, l reached at last the
banana trees, the foliage of which
waved like a gigantic plume on the
summit of this isolated rock.
The banana rises with stem which
is about six or seven inches in diam
eter at the root, and from thence
tapers upward to the height of eighteen
or twenty feet. to where the leaves
spring like a bright green tuft, broad.
wavy, feathery. and dropping, as those
of the palm do.
l uttered a shout-an 80 poeanr'-
to my companions, announcing that /
had gained the summit before them.
and armed with my only weapon, the
lakewood spear, pushed my way for
ward between the smooth stems of the
bananas, till l reached the abrupt
brow Of the cliff, from the verge of
which | saw, far down below, the
bright blue stream that rose on the
slopes of the great mountain, running
through the heart of the isle and gilt
tering in the setting sun among groves
and ravines. to where it poured in
foam upon the white sandy beach, and
mingled with the mighty Southern sea.
l saw also the figures of Chute and
Carlton, as they stood near the rock
which bore the inscription, but they
could neither distinguish me nor hear
my shout, which gave fresh ardor to
those whom l had left halfway down,
and who now resumed their ascent.

CHAPTER XXXII.

All day the air had been unusually
sultry and breathlessly hot, even for
the tropics at that season; but when
the sun sank westward, when the air
became cooler, and the shadows of the
island, with its wooded bluff and tow
ering blue mountain, across the slODe
of which the light gossamer clouds
Law floating halfway up, were thrown
far eastward over that lonely sea
which no keel seemed ever to furrow.
we prepared for further exploration,
or. as Hugh Chute said, ito overhaul
that ere cliff from truck to keelson."
Chute and Carlson were dispatched
to its base by the way of the river
bank, and to where the cascade pour
ed over the rocks. waking the solemn
echoes of the otherwise silent ravine.
Their Instructions were to station
themselves near the rocks which bore
the Spanish legend-to keep a sharp
lookout on the face of the cliff and all
the way up to the grove of banana
trees that grew on its summit.
Billy the cabin boy was left in charge
OF the hut and boat, while Hislop.
with the rest of us advanced toward
the cliff. up the sloping bank of which
its only accessible point-we pro-
ceeded to climb.
1t was, or is twelve months can
make no change) a hundred and fifty
feet in height, as | have stated, ris-
ing sharply up from the side OF the
great mountain, and is covered by a
jungle of wild shrubs that must have
been growing there since the days of
the deluge
The creepers with gummy branches,
the sharp serrated grass, the yellow
gourd vines, the wild tendrils and
plants of which we knew neither the
names nor the nature, were there in
terwoven as closely as herring net,
to the depth of seven or eight feet
from their roots.
Amid this jungle the hum of the

A HISTORICAL ANCHOR.
That OF the Cumberland Now on the
w. ii. Macy.

W. L. macy.
If the port anchor of the American
ship w. H. Macy, now lying at Green
street wharf, could talk it might I'M
fold some wonderful yarns. The big
but ungraceful mud hook swinging
over the ships bow was once suspend
ed through the hawse pipe of the Unit
ed States frigate Cumberland. When
it was made nobody now seems to
know, but it is more than likely that
it began its career of usefulness with
the launching of the Cumberland. 1t
was on the Cumberland in 1861 when
the war broke out and probably when
the frlgate disappeared under the wat
ers of Hampton Roads. Between that
day and the time that the Macy was
launched, which occurred about fifteen
years ago, the history of the Cumber-
lands anchor is unknown. "Old Cum
berland,' as the sailors call the big
anchor. weighs about five tons. which
is nearly twice as much as the average
anchor used by sailing craft. The
stock is sixteen feet long and of solid
oak, which is as sound today as when it
rested on the deck of the Cumberland.
The ring, through which the cable
passes, is large enough to admit the
passage of the body of a full-grown
man. and the flukes are just three and
a half feet wide. The only signs OF the
anchors past now visible is the name
u. S. S. Cumberland stamped into the
iron. Some of the letters are almost
obliterated, but there is enough left
to Identify the anchor.

TWO LITTLE KINGS.
Brought From the Antarctic Ocean to
New York.

New York.
Some time ago now, from the far-off
south. two baby kings" were brought
to New York from their island home
That home is the volcanic islet named
after Governor McQuarie, and lying
hundreds of miles south of Tasmania.
Now / must tell you that they were
not boy kings, but bird kings, and
their proper name is King Penguins.
They were so young as to be real
babies when they left the island. Their
parents were with them, but both of
them died on the voyage. so the little
King Penguins were orphans when
they arrived in New York and were
taken to the Zoo in Central Park
If you had never seen a penguin you
would scarcely believe at first sight
that it is bird, as they always sit in
at them from behind they were more
like little woolly bears than birds.
They are not able to fly either, like
other birds, as their wings are more
like paddles than wings. though they
assist them greatly in swimming and
diving, which they do splendidly.
1t was a most touching sight to see
those awkward looking little birds in
their first house at the Zoo sitting
huddled together, and constantly cry
ing for more fish So young and help
less were they, they could not even
help themselves from the bucketful set
beside them, but went on crying and
waving their long. slender bills in the
air. They often tried too, to feel
themselves from each others beaks. in
memory of the way in which their
mother used to feed them.
The penguins are a very peculiar
class, and the king Penguins" are the
largest members of it. They are all
antarctic birds, coming from the very
| far south.

Whoever among us had done this
was guilty of wanton malice and trea-
son to the rest of his friends-for
friends we hoped We were, as well as
brothers in misfortune.
We also examined the mutilated
bread bag. In the side thereof was
clean slash a foot in length, made by
some sharp instrument, and by this
aperture the biscuits had been alb
stracted by some one who had inserted
his hands through the fragile wall OF
our hut, which, as l have stated, was
composed only of turf and branches.
The theft had been committed IN
the night, but by whom?
Was the thief one of ourselves? The
eyes of eacL seemed to ask the hate
full question of the others, and to repel
their inquiring glances; but soon after
three of our missing biscuits were
discovered by Tom Lambourne, lying
a few yards apart among the long
grass. as if the abstracter had dropped
them during a hasty flight toward the
woods or the DEVILS Mountain.

IMPORTANT LAW POINT.
Has just Been Established for Califor.
mia Fig Syrup Co.

An important decision has just been
rendered in San Francisco in the
United States Circuit Court, in the case
Of the California Fig Syrup Company
VS.. Clinton E. Worden & Co., ct al"
The principal defendant is large non
secret manufacturing concern. A per-
manent injunction has been granted
enjoining the defendants from using
the name-Syrup of Figs, or Fig
Syrup-and ordering them to pay the
costs and account for damages. The
decision is OF the greatest value, not
only 10 manufacturers Of proprietary
articles, but to the public generally, as
it affirms that the valuable reputation
acquired by an article of merit, will be
protected by the Courts, and that the
party who builds the reputation by ex-
tensive and legitimate advertising, is
entitled to the full fruits of his enter
prise. This confirms the title OF the
California Fig Syrup Co. to this genu-
inc and most valuable remedy, Syrup
of Figs"

itself in lands where "Old Glory" was
never seen outside of books. Deering

Blue Roses Grown In Bulgaria.

The blue rose, which, with the black,
has so long been the subject Of horti-
cultural research, has quite unexpect-
edly made its appearance in a CONT
mental garden. Eizanlik, in Bulgaria,
whence the rarity is reported, is a
district renowned for its altar Of
roses, and consequently the flowers are
grown on a very large scale. Sam
Piles of the soil where this rare plant
is grown have been sent to the chemi-
cal laboratory of Sofia to be infinitely
analyzed. 1t is known to be rich in
lime, ammoniac, salts of copper and
