A MODERN VAN DER DECkEN.
Curious Tale of the Flying italian
Anita s.

Anita S.
A Nantes correspondent relates a Gu
rious story regarding the wanderings
of the Italian brig Anita s. and her
adventurous skipper, Capt. Rosa.
The Anita S. left Martinique on June
6, 1900, with cargo of sugar con-
signed to a house in Nantes, but en-
route the captain borrowed at every
port at which he touched sums of mon-
ey. giving as security his ship and
cargo
When he could raise no more and his
ing arrested in port he hailed passing
merchant vessels and fishing boats and
bought provisions.
In this way he kept to the high seas
until Sept. 8, 1900, when, after sue
cession Of terrible storms he was
forced to put into Santa Cruz, Tener-
life. He escaped detection and re-
mained there in security until May IL
of the next year, when, after contract
ing new loan of 1920, Capt Rosa,
of the good ship Anita S., still carrying
her cargo of sugar, resumed her erring
pilgrimage.
For four months he remained at sea,
and during that time the firm at
Nantes, to whom the sugar was con-
signed, continued to receive reports
that the brig was cruising on the coast
of England.
But Capt. Rosa's resources gave out
at last, and finding that he could raise
no more money and tired of being con-
tinually at sea, he returned to Teneriffe
in September and was arrested
During his wanderings, says the Lon
don Mail, the Italian skipper had sue
ceeded in borrowing $4,000. while the
Anita S. is not worth f600. The cargo
of sugar which left Martinique seven
teen months ago was transshipped and
reached Nantes in an almost worthless
condition.

To an English lady, Miss Hobhouse,
the modification of the system under
which so many unfortunate Boer wom-
en- and children perished is due. This
lady, who comes of. good English
family and whose interests in the Boer
reconcentrados is merely a feeling of
pure humanity, visited South Africa
last spring and sought to ameliorate
their condition. She appealed to the
Government to act and it did. 1t ex-
PEELED her from South Africa. On her
return home Miss Hobhouse again ap-
pealed to the Government to interpose
and end the system under which Boer
prisoners, or pensioners, were being ju-
dicially murdered. Nothing came of
her appeals. She then published the
facts she had collected in South Africa
and the result has been an awakening
of the British conscience. The Govern
ment felt constrained to take notice of
the opinions and feelings created by
the publication Of her pamphlet and
the order was given for change in the
concentration system.
