There is a remarkable similarity in the

birds as the rats Of the air, possessing

n,arisable prolifcacy. a close relation to
man in all his domestic affairs and an
almost abnormal shrewdness In evad-

American cats have not yet developed,

considerable necessaries,. among which
was some seaman's bedding, procured
from the forecastle, which was out of
water.
Before twelve o'clock the same day,
the boy of whom we have spoken
Mr. Pilsbury's sOn-was seized with a
raging fever. They found a small hut
ON the island they Were on, which was
used for the turtle fishery, but there
were no inhabitants, nor any fresh
water. On all the borders of the shore,
however, there were cocoanuts in abun-
dance. Here they remained seven days,
the boy continuing to grow worse all
the time. On the eighth day they sail
ed for the main land, and succeeded in
getting over the reefs which bind the
whole coast. They steered northern
course along shore for the purpose of
getting into Ascension Bay. The fresh
breeZes that prevail on the coast,
and which create a surf on the ledges
so heavy that it is impossible to pass
them, frequently caused detention of
two or three days. The provisions had
conches and other shell-fish which they
gathered on the rocks. During the
whole of this time the poor boy
had grown worse. He was emaciat-
ed to skeleton. There was nothing
with which to minister to his necessi-
ties but some rice, which, as we have
said, had been saturated with salt
water.
When within about fifty miles of AS
cension Bay, there came up violent
storm of wind and rain They were
compelled to take the boy from the
boat and rig a cot for him in the woods,
shelter him with branches Of the wild
palmetto, and keep fires around, for
the tracks of wild beasts were every
where thick The boy lay all that
awful night at the point of death; not
the slightest expectation remained that
he could live until morning.
The next morning, however, the
weather cleared off beautifully, and the
boy grew better Fortunately, about
eight O'Clock, two canoes came from
Ascension Bay, which Captain Pilsbury
chartered to take him and his compan-
ions to that place. They arrived in
safety In this bay was small fishing
town, the residence, also, of few of
those persons who transport goods in
canoes from Honduras to the interior.
No medicines Of any kind were to be
purchased, but a little cream of tarter
was furnished by a kind-hearted Eng
lish woman who was there, and this,
probably was the means of saving the
boys life. They stayed here eight or
ten days, and then went to Belize, Hon
duras, where the inhabitants treated
them with great kindness. The captain
placed his son in the hospital, where he
received the best medical treatment.
His recovery was rapid. After staying
there nearly a month, a passage was
kindly offered them to Havana. and fl
nally thence to Mobile and New Orleans.
The boy. though not as strong as when
he left the north, had recovered his
health. After some negotiation, the
house of J. W. Zacharie 4 Co., mer-
chants, of New Orleans, took him, as
Mr.. Pilsbury desired they should when
he took him from the North He was
only then about thirteen years of age.
He has remained in that house of
which he is now a partner. from that
time to the present. His name is Ed
ward Pilsbury

God and the captain willing" | wrote
you Of our camp at La Nentana. The
TrOpic of Cancer ran right over my
cot, according to our astronomical OBJ
servations. Myself and five men were
obliged to stay on an island some time,
Is miles from the mainland. on account
of the surf, on which island there was
absolutely no living thing, nor any
water, though it has an area of 36
square miles. 1t was so difficult to
land on the coast that three times my
men and | had to swim ashore. as the
boat would have been splintered on the
rocks, and get our Instruments over by
swinging them on a line AS | always
had the second steam launch with me,
generally got back to camp without
spending the night, which | couldn't
| have done otherwise.
Since returning from Ventana, | have
occupied stations on two high noun
tains, but as we had pack mules, and all
our men were supplied with horses that
carried us nearly to the top it wasn't
very hard climbing. There isn't road
in the whole of Lower California, trails
! being the only means of communica-
ton, and they all follow along river
beds filled with sand and large stones,
much rougher than the beds of the
streams in the White Mountains.
The cacti and other thorny bushes
are so thick, the saddles are all supplied
with a large leather guard, to protect
the legs, and when one is going at a
gallop doing a great deal of humping
and trying to stay on the beast at the
same time) it keeps one busy lodging
the thorns. The Mexicans are all very
much afraid of mad skunks; at this
season of the year they bite your toes
while you are asleep, and make you go
mad" So when | have been out late
ly, my guides and muleteers have COM
pletely surrounded the camp with fires,
which is very effective in keeping them
as we'll as the coyotes, at safe dis
tance.
Orders came yesterday to half mast
the flag for Ex-P President Harrison, and
guns were fired every half hour, from
sun rise to sun set. The people in La
Paz thought we were taking possession
of Lower California. Some of the items
in the La Paz and Guaymos papers have
been very amusing. They all say the
United States is taking the country.
$60,00O.00 seems all enormous sum to
them for any government to spend on a
coal shed on foreign soil.
The climate here is fine, Is degrees in
the day and IS degrees at night, never
varying from those limits, and as it is
very dry one never knows it is hot
! The wind blows up the bay every day
and blows out every evening, so if we
sail up to La Paz in the afternoon, we
are bound to have a fair and strong
wind there and back without botherine
with the launches, and can cover the
distance in 1 hour and 20 minutes.

ship in sinking condition.
There were a crew OF about ten per-
