A Vanished Island.

On old charts OF tho Pacific there
are islands set down where now the
navigator can find none. Perhaps they
were there once and have disappeared.
That volcanic islands have appeared
and disappeared in various parts OF
the seven seas there is no doubt. A
British man-of-war once was sailing
near where such an event took place.
and it's crew had a chance to witness
that seldom seen occurrence, the birth
OF an island.
AS soon as It was possible the Brit
ish captain, landed and formally an
nexed the new land to the British en-
pire. Then he hoisted the union jack
and sailed away.
He expected TO be knighted for HIS
enterprise, but when another ship was
sent out TO take look at the island
and report upon its availability as a
naval post for supplying passing ships
the island had vanished entirely.
