Wanda de Boncza, the young actress OF
the Coincide Franchise, the sale of

HARPooNs FOR ALLIaAToRs.
Some Perilous Sport in the Great Cy-
press Swamp Down South


Alligators rapidly under water,
are hard to see harder to hit, and the
harpoon will penetrate only the least
accessible portions of the body. Nor
does the title to the hide necessarily
pass with making fast the weapon.
One afternoon in the Cheesehowitzkee
river | h%arpooned a large alligator
which towed me up and down the
stream for IN hour or two and then
sulked in It's deepest part. I pulled on
the line until the boat was directly
over him and stirred him up with the
harpoon pole. He rolled himself up on
the line in the ann peculiar to
sharks and alligators, and banged the
boat suggestively. We rowed to the
bank and making fast to some bushes
hauled on the line until we succeeded
In worrying him nearly to the boat,
when he rose to the surface and attack
ed us with open mouth. We repealed
the attack with harpoon pole and rife.
The former was promptly bitten in
three pieces, but the latter apparently
finished him 1t was so nearly dark that
we decided to carry him in the skiff
a mile down the river to where u
sloop was anchored and to skin him
the next morning. We broke the seats
out of the boat, and together managed
to lift the head of the alligator aboard
and tie it. We then tied the other end,
when the reptile came to life and land
ed a blow with his tail which lifted me
out of the skiff into the saw grass, with
the breath knocked out of my body,
and hand and face badly cut by the
grass. Boat and boatman were cap
sized. AS my rifle had fortunately
been left upon the bank, l was able to
kill the alligator again. We secured
him by floating the boat under him
and then bailing it out. The alligator
completely filled the boat so that my
companion and l sat upon his back as
we padded down the river with gun
wales unpleasantly near the water.
1t was growing very dark and the
water around us was becoming alive
with alligators. While we were reflect
ing upon our overloaded condition, our
alligator came to life again and shifted
ballast until water poured over the
gunwale. We quickly balanced the boat,
only to see 1t again disturbed and to
ship more water. A scramble for the
shore followed, which we reached with
out capsiZing, and where w left ouI
victim for the night after again killing
him. In the morning our buzZard friend
from the Homosassa river, surrounded
by his family was sitting above him In
a tree, waiting for us to attend to ouI
carving duties.

Mr.. Seddon's decision to retain the
premiership and remain in New Zea-
land fell like a bombshell (says the
London Chronicle) in the New Zealand
parliamentary arena. During his alb
sence at the coronation reports crystal
lized into conviction that he would re-
turn to New Zealand only to wind up
his affairs before taking up a high ap-
pointment in South Africa. Private
letters from himself are said to have
conveyed broad hints in the same direc-
ton. The only point that seemed to be
in doubt was as to whether the high
appointment in question was under the
imperial government or a company car
rying on extensive operations in South
Africa. 1t is now generally understood
that Mr.. Seldom was approached. that
negotiations were in progress for some
time, and that ultimately the project
fell through.
