ENDLESS CHAIN FATALITIES.
Troubles Which Have Pursued the
Animals of Sable Island.

The story of animal life on Sable Island

triarchal stations. These ponies resemble
the horses on the sculptures of Nineveh,
and approach the beholder seemingly out
of the framework of antiquity They are
stocky and remarkable for their long
names which in instances have been
known TO grow to the length of three
yards. These ponies are the remnant OF
stock thought to have been left by some
Portuguese hshermeu-"P ortingalls," the
old records quantity call them-who touch
ed at the island on their fishing exped-
tons at even an earlier date than the
Marquis de la Roche. A one time there
were from 400 to 500 wild ponies on the
island, but their number has been decreas-
ed by expectation, the severity of the win
tiers, and, some people think, by the i'm
portation Of the improved, domesticated
stations, which have made the stock less
hardy and consequently more susceptible
to death from exposure. There are now
between eighty and a hundred wild ponies
and about thirty for domestic use. Mount

The 'Portingalls" also stocked the island
with cattle, which increased so rapidly
that people from the mainland made expe-

most profitable. At one time the island was

private of the Argyll and Sutherland

chance. for one of the Seaforths promptly
ran him through, with the remark Take
that. YOU - traitorv We got up to one
trench with fifteen Beers in it. One he'd
up white flag on his rifle, and when We
cot up TO make them prisoners the re-
mainder fired on us. We laid down and
gave them a volley. Up went the flag
again, but the holder had not got 1t
straight when half a dozen of our bullets
went into him. Then we charged them
and l assure you none of them lives to
tell the tale
Another soldiers letter from Frere Camp
says;
Just before the battle the Irish Brigade
(Boers' side sent a note TO our Dublin Flu
siliers saying that they would be glad to
get the opportunity to wipe them (the
Dublin Fusiliers) off the face of the earth,
