people. AT every step their troops had
to stop to hunt for fodder.
The Japanese have gone to work in
different style. Long ago they started

Consul washington, at Geneva, calls
the attention Of American travellers to
the very inexpensive tickets which
permit the holder to travel throughout
Switzerland upon most of its railways
and lake steamers at will for periods
Of from fifteen to thirty days, says the
New York World.
These tickets are obtanabie at all
large railway and boat stations IN
Switzerland. They may be ordered
through any station a delay Of from
one to two days is usual and a pho.
tograph IS required
The tickets permit continuous anc
unlimited travel at will during tbs
period Of their validity upon most q
the railways and lakes In Switzerland
ana upon some fifteen Of the small
roads not embraced in the ticket privi
lege usually funicular roads, reduc
ton of from 20 to 80 per cent upol
usual fares is extended
1t IS a useful point Of information
for travellers that trunks may be sen
by post throughout the country am
thus may be delivered at hotels t

A ThUNDERBOLT AT SEA
Icopyright. 1911. b G. B. Lewls.l

copyright. 1904 By c. B Lewis.l
This was the situation at 10 o'clock
of fine June morning many years
ago: A big English sailing ship called
the Kangaroo. one of the last Of the
Australian packets, was lying becalm-
ed off the African coast to the south
OF St Helena, and three miles away
was a rakish brig, also without move
ment. The brig had crept out from the
coast during the night under the in1u-
ence Of airs too light to fare a candle.
AS was afterward known, she was
Spanish rover called the Celeste.
The Kangaroo would not have been
put In a state of defense but for the
passengers. Many Of them became
nervous at the sight Of the brig, and to
quiet them and at the same time exer-
else the crew the guns were cast loose,
small arms served out, and the peaceful
packet was turned into a man-of-war.
There was a providence in it. When
the stranger saw that be was suspect
ed he threw off all disguise. OF a sud
den his decks were alive with men rum
ming about, and later on four boats
were lowered and filed with armed
men. They were coming TO attack the
Kangaroo. They must have known
that she was armed and had strong
crew aboard, but the pirates Of old
were men to take long chances When
the boats left the briggs side we count
ed fifty-two men ia ALL and it seemed
as ii as many more were left behind.
The black flag was holsted. and there
could no longer be a question as to the
sort Of men we had to deal with.
The passengers Of the Kangaroo to
man volunteered to assist the crew,
and we were presently prepared to
give good account Of ourselves, We
could note long before the pirates
reached us that they comprised several
nationaities and that they were q des-
perate lot. The boats divided as they
came on, and when within mile Of US
the fellows began cheering
Our first Shot was from one Of thu
big guns and could not have been bet
tered. II struck one OF the boats fail
on the stem and split her open full
length. and Of those not kiifea outright
only two or three We're picked up. TIL
disaster only made the rascals thu
more desperate Raising a yell, tn
three remaining boats dashed at u
and were soon 50 close that the BIZ
guns were Of no further use.
we met them with bullets and buck
shot. and we hove cold shot into thei
boats as they hooked on, and no gan
of pirates ever got harder drubbing
Although we lost two men killed an
several wounded, not an enemy go
aboard, and only two boats and eighi
cen men returned to the brig
That night the damaged spars wer
replaced, shot holes plugged up. an
there was no reason why we shout
not safely make the Cape
When daylight came we congrat'
lated each other over our victory, an

a sort Of holiday in honor Of the event
when thunderstorm came racing up
behind us. and in the midst Of the
black cloud was the pirate brig. In
stead of sailing away N search Of
haven or other prey when she had re-
paired damages she had picked up our
trail and was going TO give US another
brush.
Such grim persistency at first brought
feeling Of fright, but this soon gave
place to one Of grim determination to
fight her to the death and show her no
mercy. When we had her crippled the
night before we could have destroyed
her. but Captain Wilson simply sailed
away. He now promised the crew to
sink her if he could, and there was
cheering as the men went 10 the guns.
Down came the black cloud, and with
it down came the pirate, with bis black
dag dying. and as he ranged up on our
port quarter at half rife shot he
opened fire. Ills first shot struck gun
and killed three men. and his second
wounded ave men Then the storm

the firing continued, no great damage

BUSY MEETING Of
BOARD Of HEALTH

The Board OF Health met yesterday
afternoon instead of Wednesday owing
to the fact that President l.. Il. Pink
ham Is to leave for the other islands.
Rules for the inspection OF animals
were discussed and the scale adopted
which IL fixed by the Penal Code as
follows:
"There shall be collected from the
owner or consignee OF animals inspect
ed under this Act, one dollar per head
for all horses, mules and cattle; fifty
cents per head for all sheep and goats:
ten cents each for every other animal
or bird, and, when from the nature OF
the case the making Of such inspection
shall be unusually onerous or severe,
rs per cent. additional shall be paid Ia
the inspector"
Superintendent j. d. McVeigh stated
that two more Sisters OF Charity were
needed at the Bishop Home at KaIau
papa. There were four Sisters at the
home now. They were all aged and
overworked and needed assistance. IL
was decided to confer with the BishoI
OF Zeugma about the matter. The Sis
tiers will have to be brought here from

the means of transportation, 1t being
