LONDON, June 3.-The desperate at
tempt on the lives of King Alfonso and
Queen Victoria brings home 10 Great
Britain the question of harboring an
archists. 1t is expected that upon the
reassembling of Parliament after the
Whitsuntfde recess an effort will be
made to pass a law excluding anarch-
lists from Great Britain.
The effect of the agitation is prob
lematical Much depends on the result
of the investigation being made by
Scotland Yard The authorities are in
clined to. doubt that the Madrid plot
originated here. The evidence so far
does not warrant full acceptance of
the claim. The general idea is that
the disclosure of details of the con-
spiracy.
There has long been a deep-rooted
sentiment against excluding any po-
litical refugees or plotters, however
violent, and apparently there has been
an agreement among the anarchists not
to modest members of the British royal
family. X has often been asserted that
the British secret police had made the
immunity of members of the royal fam
lily the subject of a definite pact with
anarchists, and that it was enforced by
threats of rigorous exclusion If such
a pact existed it was broken by the
attack on the Queen of Spain.

pertinent In raising Ostr1cheS III DAM
pier Land-from 1900 to 19O2-we had
to depend for our supplies on the
'pearlers' of King Sound.
There are as yet no regular means Of
transportation here; but we had a
credit account with the general store
at Cossack, two hundred and ten miles
down the coast, and made an arrange
ment with the skipper of one or an
other OF the pearlfshers to bring us
-four, sugar and canned goods, and
land them at little log shed on the
beach not far to the west of the mouth
of the Fitzroy River.
The distance from Our inland ranch
fifteen or7sixteen miles-is too great
for signalling with. rocketsoiof guns.
We2c could oonly3 conjecture when the
pearler might put in there2 oSoinetihles
her visits would be a month, some
times three months apart; and the only
way to find out was for one or anoth
er of us to go down to the beach.
On an evening in March I set off to
make this trip with our one ''brumby''
pony. We had been having some
trouble with the black-fellows up the
Fitzroy; and they had recently thrown
into Our stockaded yard curious heir
oglyph picture, scrawled on a kanga-
ROOFS thigh-bone, which we had no
great difficulty in deciphering, as a
threat to kill and eat three white men
in the course of two moons-and the
inference was easy that we were the
three.
Dampier Land and the Fitzroy
River district all the way up to Port
Darwin are now almost the only region
in the world where whites are in
danger from aboriginal savages. Here
may still be found black tribes of the
TRUE stone age, armed only with spears,
''kylies" and flint axes. It is one OF the
last haunts of primitive savagery.
Provided as we were with modern
breech-loadcrs, we stood in no special
fear Of these blacks, and took no no
tice of their compliment" on the
kangaroo bone, save to keep a sharp
watch. They never showed them
selves near Our ranch. The only dan
ger from them, we concluded, was that
they might surprise some one of us
out alone or throw their spears or ky
lies from the cover of thicket. These
Fitzroy and Lake Flora blacks throw
a spear thirty or forty yards with
considerable accuracy; and as for
their kylies, or boomerangs, the dis
lance at which one may get rap on
the head from this queer missile is al
together predetermined.
With all these North Australian
blacks, however, the white settler has
one great advantage; he can travel
anywhere by night in well-nigh per-
feet safety-except from snakes. For
owing to superstitious fears of evil
spirits, "Jacky" is generally found ly-
ing up close by his fire during the
hours Of darkness. Sight or sound Of
anything moving about him at night

Everywhere on these flats the scar,

went lame All these brumbies are
addicted to shamming lameness; but
| soon found that the little chap had
given his near fore leg a serious
wrench, and was in no condition to go
on.
My first thought was now to go back
to the ranch and lead my pony. 1t
would have been far better for me if
had done so. But I was already six

sound. H. We. needed to know about our
supplies, and Il decideda to leave the

I had proceeded but a little way
across the green flats when the moon
lit sky darkened. Clouds had risen,
and soon a hollow growl Of thunder
burst forth. Within three minutes it
was raining copiously.
The downpour continued for half an
hour; nor did the gum trees afford
much shelter, for Australian foliage has
notable tendency to turn edgewise
to the sky. This mattered little, how
ever, for the thick high grass now wet
me to the skin at every step; but |
felt somewhat concerned for my cart
ridges.
Another shower, even more violent,
succeeded the first, heralded by blind
ing flash and roar of thunder. In
the course of a few minutes the clay
flats were flooded. What was even
worse, mist rose, following the show
ers, and it became quite impossible to
keep to my course or find the gums
previously seen across the lowlands.
Gladly would I now have retraced my
steps to the pony and returned to the
ranch; but before I was really aware,
