NO PAY FOR TOLL AND PERIL.

OAKLAND, Nov. IA hard-luck
story comes off the whaling bark Gay
head that came down from the north
on November I'd and slipped silently
up to her moorings. A story of days
and nights of fruitless watching for
blubber and bone among the ice foes;
of daily burials at sea of men who died
from scurvy or some strange disease
and assertions of others who feared
the horror that lurked in the forecas-
tie.
The story was told today by ]. j.
knewell, who shipped before the mast
on the recent cruise and was with the
bark on its ten monUhs' voyage in the
Arctic seas. He is a negro, possibly
fifty years of age, with the manners
taught in ante-bellum days and the
broad dialect of way down south"
Hat in hand, he slipped into the de-
partment where Judge Hart is trying
the famous water case. Frightened,
but evidently determined. he took up a
position in front of the bench and
asked for permission ''tuh speak tub
de Cont" Without waiting to have his
request granted he launched into his
story, but it was incoherent through
fright, and he was hustled into the
corridor by Baliff Morrison. There
enough was learned to know that he
desired "papahs, and he was conducted
to the Office of the district attorney,
where he told his story to Deputy
Hynes.
Knewell had shipped On a wage of
$40 per month, he said, but had drawn
no money, and when the bark arrived
in this port he, with others of the
crew, was given 81 and tod there was
nothing more coming to him, as the
bark had taken but one whale. He
alleged that the men were i'll treated,
and not given proper food, and as a
result John Seaman died ON June 25th
the second mate, John w. Smith, on
July 14th; Alfred Miller ON July 21st,
ana Jose Torres on July 22d. The two
latter deaths occurred at Dutch Har-
Dor, and frightened at the daily death
list, several men slipped over the side
ard deserted. Out of crew of TWEEN
ty-two, all told, the bark had returned
with but twelve. Knewell wanted pa
pers that would compel the captain to
pay him his wages, and offered to
bring to the attorney several members
of the crew who would substantiate
his statements.
Hit wuz des awful, sub, de way dem
men died." he said. "Dey wuz TUX
down powuhful sudden, an it 'peahed
lax dey des bloat an bloat till dey des
couldn' bloat no mo-, an de mex mint
dey wus daid. Putin uh man obah de
side evan day skeered some uh de men
an dey zuhted, lief de ship, sub. wuz
on watch an seed 'em go. Dey wuz
skeered uh de cap'n, too. He wuz uh
mighty suhvigrous man, used us pow
uhful bad an didn' give us what we
oughtuh haid to eat. But I'm plum
off'n the bank now, an all l wants es
NAH money"
Deputy Hynes instructed him to as
certain the names of the owners of the
Gayhead, and then return with other
members of the crew, and he would
see what could be done.

on the Beaver, with Sam in hot pur-
suit. They arriving simultaneously,
the animal had not got more than half
inside before Sam had it BY the tail,
and in the tug Of war which followed
the wolf was worsted, and pulled from
the hole. A tail hold has always been
considered a good thing, but when a
swapping, snarIing wolf is attached to
the tail Il ceases to be a sinecure.
This Sam soon found out, for his
only source Of safety lay in his ability
to keep the animal swinging about his
head He tried to originate some plan
to dispatch his capture, but before any
feasible one was formulated he stepped
upon loose stone and fell. Sam, still
hanging to his tail hold, got 70 his feet
first and managed. to get his foot upon
the VOLTS neck, but as that animal
showed no signs Of docility, he was
forced to exert his whole strength in
holding it stretched out. Matters were
getting desperate, and Sans strength
was fast giving out. By exerting him
self to an almost suPer-hUman effort,
however, Sam managed to hold the
animal with one hand long enough to
get out his pocket knife with which he
finally stabbed the animal TO death.
