ones he had, and when the health
officers learned that his men had
hydrophobia they refused to allow them
ashore. In the midst of all these trou-
bles the yacht headed again for sgd
ney, when she ran into a hurricane
which nearly finished the whole bust
ness, hydrophobia and all. But she
finally succeeded in reaching the har-
Dor in a much battered condition.
Why did the Countess Festetics de
Tolna ever conclude she wanted to
leave the Count Festetics de Tolna?
After a short stay in Sydney, the
yacht sailed for, Tanna, a cannibal ISL
and. The count relates number Of
agreeable anecdotes about the habits
of the natives whom they met there.
One is curious-their fashion of pre-
serving the bodies of their relatives to
use as material for poisoning their ar
row tips and lances. In Sydney, the
count meets Louis Becke. who has
written a number of books about these
South Sea islands. At Rubiana, the
count advises the countess to follow
his example and begin eating betel
nuts:
This made our lips and teeth black,
and had the advantage of thus cheap
ening our heads. With black teeth
heads have much less value in these
islands, and therefore they are much
more apt to stay upon our shoulders.
We visited village, not far from our
anchorage. The natives had gather
ed in considerable numbers, and made
cannibal festival in our honor. They
forced US to eat with them. I found
their conduct a little disQuieting. They
formed in little groups, and gathered
around with threatening airs and with
their hatchets in their hands, How
ever. the women did not go away, and
this treasured us. My wife, who ac-
companied me, seated herself in the
midst of the women. The women were
much fiattered. They felt of her gown.
examined it carefully, and closely
scrutinized all of her garments.
Again one wonders why the Countess

all the crew had fed to the rigging.
Running up and down the deck was
Bob, with bloodshot eyes, his hair
standing up on his neck, and his
tongue hanging out, with f1ecks of
foam drooling from his jaws. The
first officer shouted to me: Look out,
count, the dog is mad!"
In that case said I, eve must take
him in boat and put him on that
little island near at hand"
Yes, count, but the men have al
ready tried to catch him, and they
have all been bitten, and they are
afraid to touch him.
"And have you been bitten?" ask
ed I.
mo"
'Then let us lower a boat, and you
and I will throw him in
We tried it, but the furious animal
was too much for us. he bit both me
and Philip before we could get him
into the boat. Then we succeeded in
binding him and taking him ashore.
When we got him there, we threw him
out on the sand and returned to the
yacht. But all the rest of that day,
as we had no wind, we could see him
going through horrible antics on the
shore until nearly nightfall, when he
died in horrible commissions.
Every one of the crew had been
bitten except the old negro cook.
They We're all afraid of having hydro
phobia. The first officer came and
asked me to let him have the medi-
cine book, in order to find out the
symptoms. I ought to have refused
him, but was weak and let him have
it. After the crew had learned the
symptoms they all had them, and
went around with haggard eyes and
slavering tongues.
Therefore, as they neared the port
| of Levouka, the count determined to
put his crew ashore before they all
went mad, and ship new crew. But
when they arrived, he found that the
port was so infected with SMALLPOX
/ that it was more dangerous to take
sailors from there than to keep the

Festetics de Tolna, at the close of the
cruise, desired to leave Count Feste-
tics de Tolna.
The yacht then goes to Epi, to Pen
tecost Island, then to Espiritu Santo
then to the New Hebrides, to Santa
Anna, to the Islands of Florida, and to
many other little-known cannibal ISL
ands. But space is lacking to follow
the cruise of the Tolna in her wand
erings over the trackless Pacific Ocean
Apparently, the troubles of those on
land afflicted those aboard the yacht
Here, for an example, is description
of an earthquake:
The first shock lasted three min
utes, and then abruptly ceased. A
torrential rain, accompanied by thun-
der and lightning, followed it. At
half-past two o'clock, another shock
was felt, and at six o'clock seven dis
tinct shocks came. The feeling was as
| if the boat were in a large caldron of
water, while the caldron was being
rapidly moved. These oscillations went
! on two or three times a day for two
weeks.
This was at the harbor of FAST. There
| lived here a white man, one Tyndal
When the yacht arrived, the Tyndals
| were barricaded in their house, which
was surrounded by blood-thirsty ma
| tives, led by one Long Ferguson, their
king. The count took his crew and
such other white men as could be
gathered, up and went to the rescue
of the Tyndals. But the natives were
too numerous, and the count and his
friends were forced to beat a retreat,
| and fed again to the yacht. But the
count conceived the idea of letting off
rockets and other fireworks, which he
did. This scared the daylights out of
the natives. They took their canoes
and fed to the neighboring islands for
| twenty miles around.
This is the last exploit which is mar
rated in the book. The count briefly
summarizes, however, his adventures;
he speaks of the dreadful typhooa,"
in which they barely escaped with their
| lives at the Admiralty Island; of the
| geisha-girls in Japan-the genuine ones
rarely shown to strangers who are
too gross to be pleased with their
platonic reticent caresses''; he promis-
es to tell of his stay at Manila durin o
| the Spanish-American War, where be
| learned curious details, hitherto I'M
published, about the destruction of the
| Spanish fleet by Admiral Dewey: he
promises also to tell in a new volume
of the reef at Minicoy, where an I'M
known current shipwrecked them at
night; of the wreck of the Tolna; of
how he set fire to her rather than let
the natives get hold of her: of the
anger of the natives at taking their
legitimate spoil from them; of the
plots of his mutinous crew, drunk with
the choice wine which they had stolen
from the yachts cabin: of their at
| tempt to assassinate him because ne
tried to prevent them from pillaging
| the wrecked yacht; of the long cap-
tivity of the countess and himself on a
lighthouse island waiting to be res
cued by a passing sail.
When one reads of this delightful,
idyllic, romantic honeymoon trip, a.
mid sunlit isles of Eden lying in dark
purple spheres of sea, the wonder
grows more and more why the Count
ess Festetics de ToIna should ever
have left the Count Festetfcs de Tolna,
