plete was their stupefaction.
And they were not the first 10 recov-
or themselves. The crew OF the SUI
sannah threw themselves upon ID
b~lue-iackets on board the brig before
they had recovered from their surprise;
and the Cars sailors, lighting apart
me man against two, or even TN :
were easily oyerpowered.
Won Mitschka now turned his at
tention TO the long-boat which, having
picked up the lieutenant, was now
searching for survivors from the cruis-
er. In this she had been TO some ex-
tent successful. When the boat re-
turned 10 the brig, she was filled with
h~alf-drowned men.
AT a word from our captain a small
breechloading gun was run out from
under the tarpaulin where the torpedo
had remained hidden. and pointed at
the boat But the men she had on
board were in no condition 10 fight
and one by one, the lieutenant at their
head they were allowed 20 step on
board. The men were taken below,
while the lieutenant, much 10 his dis
gust. was sent to join the prisoners in
the cage"
This is a bad business said Won
Mitscnka TO me at dinner that even
ing.
You mean the destruction Of the
cruiser"
'The cruiser? Not i, why should
! mourn over the destruction of my
enemies? mean the presence Of SO
many prisoners. We cannot shoot
them. and still less can we afford TO
let them 90. / don't know what To-
bieski will say, i don't see how they
are all TO be housed-or fed, for the
matter of that Never mind. 1t makes
the need for your helping Us all the

This was said with a smile. I did
not understand what was meant, but
| was content TO wait till the proper
time for an explanation.
All next day the briggs head was
kept pointing TO the southwest, and as
the wind was fair, we made good pro-
gress. Something told me that we
were drawing near TO the end Of bur

The Island.

| Hastily throwing on some clothes, I
caught up a bit Of paper and penciled
a note for Won Mitschka; "I see we

The answer was Eyes" and as soon
IS my toilet was completed, i went up
the companion-ladder.
We were in q small bay, opposite
an island not more than half a mile
from the shore. Judging from where
We lay, / thought the island might be
three or four miles across. / saw no
wood, but low, heath covered hills, in
the hollow of which stood a building
Of stones two-storeyed house of mo-
derate size.
Two or three men moved about the
beach, and presently they were joined
by another who came down from the
house. A boat was then laurched, and
the person who had come from the
house took his seat in tue stern. In
a few minutes they were alongside;
and Won Mitschka, going TO the side
helped the visitor out of the boat, and
shook him warmly by the hand.

"Comc down with us, and / will tell
YOU all about IT," he said, in a more
genial manner than | had yet seen in
him; and he put his arm through mine,
and led me towards the companion
way.
When we reached the cabin, he left
me and. taking the man from the is

began to talk to him in a low tone. /

men changed their attitude, and at the

glances they threw in my direction,
they commenced 10 talk about me and
my mission 10 the island.
Presently their talk came to an end.
and they came together to my end OF
the cabin.

the trip is to present the claims OF Wilcox
for the ONCE OF governor OF Hawaii.

the natives of Hawaii in which they set
forth that they want native for COVER
nor. II white governor Is named, and
more particular reference is made to San.
ford B. Dole, the Hawaiian. people feel
that they will be afforded little II any
rights. They are now pushed to the back
ground in the land Of their forefathers,
denied all the franchises and rights that
are theirs, and SO they feel 1t will ever
be until one of their own blood Is elected
"There is no just reason why such
should not be the case. We have had five
years Of oppression under President Dole,
and not until native has been raised to
the office of governor will the people have
a confidence that should belong to them.
ANY American residing on the island

throw of the Hawaiian government will
be Objectionable to the natives as gov

FARALLON'S ROUGH TRIP.
Encountered Continuous Gales Re-
turning From Alaslxa-Thirty
Feet of Rail Torn Away.

Steamer Farallon, Capt. John Roberts,
arrived last night from the North, COM
pleting probably the toughest voyage she
has ever had during her many years on
the Alaskan run. She was eight days
coming from Skagway, though the time
was somewhat heightened by her having
made an unusual number of ports of call.
Her voyage was almost one successive
battle with the elements. At Seaward,
just below Skagway, where she called for
concentrates, a terrific storm came up
while the vessel was tied at the wharf
tearing away nearly thirty feet of her
rail. Her next worst gales were encoun-
tered in the. vicinity of Dixon's entrance
and Granville channel, though she got
through Milbank sound, where the Dirigo
and Cottage City had so much trouble,
with little or no difficulty.
The Farallon had seventy tons of Sheep
of fish. She had but two Kiondike pas
sengers, f. B. Fay and A. T. Walden
Neither brought Dawson news as late as
that obtained from the City Of Seattle
klondike passengers.
