This island held his final hope. During
many weary weeks, since the day when
a kindly admiral placed the cruiser
Orient at his disposal, he had secured
the China sea, the coasts of Borneo and
Java for some tidings Of the i'll fated
Sirdar.
To examine every sand patch and
tree covered shoal in the China sea was
an impossible task. All the Orient
could do was to visit the principal is
lands and institute Inquiries among the
fishermen and small traders. At last,
the previous night, a Malay, tempted
by hope of reward, boarded the vessel
when lying at anchor off the large is
land away to the south and told the

a local pirate named Taung sab had
gone by chance with his men and suf-
fered great loss. But Taung sab was
bewitched by the female spirit and had
returned there with a great force,
swearing to capture her or perish. The
spirits, the Malay said. had dwelt upon
the island for many years. His father
and grandfather knew the place and
feared 1t. Taung sab would neve be
seen again.
This queer yarn was the first indica-
ton they received Of the whereabouts
Of any persons who might possibly be
shipwrecked Europeans, though not
survivors from the Sirdar. Anyhow,
the tiny dot lay in the vessels north

house Keeper and His Assistant.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 5.-Eighteen
or twenty lives were lost and prop
erty valued at $4,000 sacrificed in
the furious storm that swept over
Lake Superior. The gale was the
most destructive to lake shipping
that has been experienced in many
years. Besides the wreck of the
steel steamer Sevona, which broke in
two on Sand island reef, seven Of
the crew losing their lives, it Is now
believed that two more ships were
lost, with their entire crews. One of
these Is thought to be the schooner
olive Jeanette, which carried a crew
OF seven men, and it is believed went
to the bottom about ten miles from
Portage entry. A mass of wreckage
was sighted by the steamer Juniata
near that point, and there seems lit
tie doubt that II was the Olive jean
cite.
1t vas definitely learned that the
sunken schooner near Outer island
was the Pretoria Of Bay City, the
largest sailing ship on fresh water.
Five OF her crew of ten were drowned
by the capsizing Of the yawl, in which
the crew took refuge when the boat
began to founder. The five survivors
were rescued by the heroic efforts of
John Irvine, keeper OF the Outer ISL
and light, and his assistant. The
crew lost control OF the yawl and all
were spilled into the lake. Five we're
drowned Immediately, but the others
chung to the overturned boat. They
were 500 feet from shore. John IT.
vine, the light keeper, observing the
plight of the sailors, launched his own
boat in the boiling sea with the help
Of his assistant and saved them at
great risk.
The storm at times reached the
proportions Of a hurricane and the
~staunchest new steel vessels were
forced to run for shelter in a more or
less battered condition. The new
steel steamer Stackhouse arrived at
the 500 on her first trip with her
hatch covers so badly sprung that
water poured continually into the

overheard. The whaleback steamer
Samuel Mather also lost one of her
crew overheard. The terrific batter
ing the steel steamers received in the
storm gives rise to the gravest fears
for the safety of many wooden ships
which have not yet reported, and the
record of death and destruction may
reach much greater proportions than
the present estimates. The monetary
loss Of the Sevona is placed at $780,.
900, while that of the Pretorie Is esti.
mated at $150.000.
A special from Pequaming, Mich,
says that ~wreckage, consisting Of
cabin, matches and ships furniture,
has been found fifteen miles of Port
age entry, indicating that an unknown
ship founded in the great storm.
Some Of the wreckage, marked
"Oilve." indicated that the lost boat

however. marked Of. W. Gilchrist,"
was picked up and there Is a steamer
by that name which was on the lake
at the time. Reports from Houghton

other parts of a ship have been
