AT the time OF his experience Ellis was

men, the ship left New South Wales
for Java. where it was to take a cargo of
sugar for Philadelphia. On July 10,
when on the northeast coast of New
Guinea, the ship met storm.
The sails were carried away first, and
the mast soon followed. The second

Others were captured.

than hatred in their glances Still more
