Then Johnson tried another hostclry.
There the night clerk had a conference
with the manager and ne reported the
house as full.
Young Johnson walked out into the
snow storm. and as ne turned from the
lighted lobby said: II reckon they take
us for set Of tramps. and l don't
blame them"
BY this time the hotel people learned
whom they had TUNED gOwu. and there
was a wild scramble to retraCt ana CX-
plain. The best in both hotels was soon
AT the command of the Johnson party

Bark John Ena's Rough Trip

The Kobe Herald of Aug. IA states:
The American bark John Ena, which
arrived in Kobe today, has had most
tragic voyage from New York which
port she left on April II last Captain
Madsen, who is in command of the
John Ena, told a representative of this
journal that the last four months have
been the most trying time he has ever
experienced at sea. While stiIl in the
neighborhood of Sandy Hook, in a per-
fectlY calm sea, one of the men fell
from aloft, and landing on one of the
after davits was killed instantaneously.
On the 10th day of June, when sixty
days out, $50 miles southwest of the
Cape, a hurricane was encountered.
Both mates were washed overheard
and one of the boats was broken up by
a heavy sea. A young man who had
some slight knowledge of navigation,
but who had only been one year afioat,
was appointed chief officer, but few
days afterwards he was knocked down
by a big sea and had his arm broken,
being thereby rendered useless for the
rest of the voyage. Three typhoons
were encountered between Manila and
this port. During the first the ba-
rometer dropped as low as 2S.46 Curl
ously enough little damage was done
either to the spars or canvas, and, with
the exception that two boats were
smashed up, the vessel is as complete
as when she started"

EIGHT MONTHS TRIP
ROUND THE HORN
The Hard Luck of the British
Ship Cypromene From
Antwerp.

Officers of the British ship Cypromene
relate a story of very hard luck which
befell that vessel in an eight months
passage from Antwerp to Portland. The
vessel arrived at Portland on Sept
One of her officers said: 1--WE left
Antwerp January 10 this year. Rough
weather was experienced almost at
once, but in AZ south, on March 10, the
wind commenced to blow with a steady
increase until a. M, when most vio-
lent hurricane, followed by rain, tore
away the lower topsail yard and seri-
ously damaged the forestry and cross
trees. The foremost was disabled, and
the ship refused to answer when we
tried to wear ship, intending to put into
Montevideo for repairs. The wind was
so terrific that the irons of the main
mast were carried away, making the
rigging useless. The forward part of
the vessel was Quilted and two hands
injured. The bridge was smashed and
the port lifeboat swept over the side
Captain Roberts, who was standing
on the poop deck, was caught by ire
mendous sea and washed from the STAR
board rail to that on the port side,
narrowly escaping going overheard. As
soon as the weather moderated a little
we made temporary repairs and steered
| for Port Stanley, Falkland Islands.
! "Ten weeks were consumed making
repairs, but the work did US little good,
| for on July 8 the lower topsail yard
again came down with crash while
| the wind was blowing a hurricane.
! Seemingly strange coincidence it was
| that this repetition of trouble occurred
! in exactly the same latitude as the first
time, only this was on the South Pacific
! ocean, and the first occurred on the
South Atlantic. But two hours before
the tearing of the rigging all hands
were at work on the foreyard, and had
they been there when the yard came
down all would have been killed.
Rounding the Horn the whole crew
was frost-bitten, as will be seen from
the following memoranda in the log.
F.! Have had nothing but gales and
storms since leaving Stanley; shiI
making only fifty and sixty miles pei
day. On the 10th of June and there
about the weather was awfully colo
and the crew almost played out from
cold and exposure. Everything was &
mass of ice. and it was impossible t.
take in or make sail Tremendous seas
however, continued to make clear
breaches over the vessel, fore and aft.
From the Gulf of California to the
Columbia river fair weather was expe
rienced, but the winds were contrary
and hence slow progress was made
Some of the provisions were spoiled BY
. salt water, bat the crew managed t.
get along with the food and no com

at will take hundred years or

ern China murder is as frequent as your
meals and it is called custom instead OF
crime Natives have little or no moral
law. There is a marriage law, but it is
only for the protection of male inhabi-
tants. A southern Chinese woman,
once married to man, can never
desert him. A man can have as many
wives as he likes. Slave traffic is ram

i ces. Fathers dispose of their daughters
and wives in the same manner as i'll this

and the girl seemed to attract the fancy
of the Chinaman. He was very courte-

that if she would return to the place at
10 O'Clock he would present to her some
valuable chinaware. When she returned
the alleged attack took place. She says
she was kept a prisoner all night and
only at daylight was freed from the gag
The laundryman tried to scare the girl
into silence by brandishing knife SIX
inches long before her. Mary Kern
leaped on the man and struck the knife
from his hand. She picked up the weap-

lowed. The girl was watching for a
good chance to use it and finally it came.
With a swift stroke she plunged the
knife into the back of the Chinaman.
