CANNlBALS AFTER THEM
OFF A STRANGE ISLAND.
Finally Reached New York Har-
I Dor, Only to Be Caught in an

Friendly Shore.

After a voyage of ten months as re-
plete with adventure and trying expert
ences as ever filled the log of the tabled
craft OF Capt. Marryatt or Clark Rus
sell. the Standard OIL bark Juteopolis
made the ice-bound harbor of New York
to-day, five months overdue. only to be
caught in an ice-hoe and stranded on
the Staten Island shore.
Although the big ship was almost q
year at sea, and recorded among her
thrilling experiences drifting in a dead
calm about strange island, from where
q flotilla of canoes filled with savages
put out, giving the seamen OF the bark
the scare Of their lives. Capt. Curd said
this afternoon that his battle with the
fields of Ice in New York Bay was the
most trying event OF the voyage.
Tug Gould Not Help Her.
The Juteopolis arrived at the bar at
o'clock last Sunday afternoon. and after
being buffeted about by huge cakes of
Ice that flied the channel summoned
to her assistance the great tug John
Hughes But the tug struggled in vain
against wind and tide to draw the bark
over the bar. She tried again OH Mon
day, with the same success. On Tues

they were doomed to an eternal calm.
Two months had passed before she
got capful OF wind. which allowed her
to drift along at a knot an hour until
she got through the Carolinas and
headed for the Horn. While skipping
along under this light bre0ze she picked
up a small island inhabited. as far as
captain or crew could inaek out, by
savages of cannlbalistIc tendencies.
Il don't know the name of this
island" said Capt. Curd to-day. but IL
fairly swarmed with the most evil
looking human beings l ever set my

Sure They Were Cannibais.
For twelve days we waitzed about
that Island pursued by swarms of
canoes. The shvages that filed those
little boats could easily have poured
themselves onto the ship and over
wheimed u.s. but somehow they were
afraid OF US,
