there were some whaleships under
Old Glory in those days! Commodore
Wilkes. U. s. N, in his renowned ex-
ploration crusie, saw several American
whalers during a run of a few miles,
and Captain Coffin, Of the Plymouth
wlaler, Mary and Martha, spoken by
Commodore Wilkes to the southeast OF
New Zealand, in 1910, reported that
there were at least a hundred similar
ships fishing in the neighborhood. One
of these whaleships, in 1904, under
/ Captain Folger, happened on the Ge-
scendants of the castaways known for
all time as the Bounty mutineers, who,
after sending adrift their commander
and those who refused to join in the
mutiny, had settled at Pitcairn Island

did not disclose his find. for six years
had elapsed before the island was
again visited by any one from the out

HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Four years ago a Nova Scotia bark,
the Angola, was wrecked on a reef
six days after leaving Cavite in the
Philippines. Seventeen survivors re-
manned on the reef until two RATS had
been constructed, and then attempted
to reach the nearest dry land. During
the night the smaller raft, with five
men, disappeared, and the twelve men
on the large raft were fated TO I'M

After drifting twenty-five days, desti-
tute of food and water, two men went
raving mad and drowned themselves.
Next day French sailor killed the
mate with an ak, quenched his thirst
with the murdered officers blood, and
was later killed by the second mate.
His body was eaten, and cannibaliSm
was resorted to again and again until
only a Swede and a Spaniard were left
to tell the horrible tale when the raft
drifted ashore, after As days expert

padre caught fire at sea, and was run
ashore on Auckland Island to save the
lives of all on board There the casta-
ways spent about as monotonous 100
days as can be imagined, until rescued
by a passing ship. Another metal
bark, the Henry James, bound from
New South Wales to California, piled
up on a coral reef near Palmyra Is

safety on this inhospitable place;

SUCCESSORS TO cRUsoE.

twentieth century successors to Rob-

not always have SO happy a termin-

packages of cargo, a number of skele-
tons, and a ships spar bearing the
inscription 'Castleton, Newport"
Some years ago the American sailing
ship Joseph Spinney when about 200
miles from Pellew Islands, rescued an
old chief and five other natives of the
group who had been blown out to sea
in an open boat. They had been eigh-
teen days without food We're just
about to kill and eat the 16-year-old
son of the chief when the vessel bore
down on the curious object to recon
hotter, and two of the castaways died
despite the most careful nursing and
the good food supplied to them by the
master of the Joseph Spinney. While
on her way to China the American
bark Tewkesbury L. sweat was wreck
ed on one of the Caroline Islands DUR
ing a hurricane. These castaways
lived with the savages for seven
months; then, growing tired Of invol-
untary exile, they sailed 1000 miles in
boats and canoes, and were eventually
picked up by another, vessel and taken
to Honolulu.
A few of the oldtime American
whaleships met with curious adven-
lures in the Pacific Ocean. and the
men not infrequently preferred a life
of sensuality and ease on one Of the
islands rather than risk their lives in
pursuit of the crafty cetacean for re-

night from their trip to New York state,
where they went early in the week to
meet Deputy Sheriff Slayton coming
back from Chicago with j. B. Campbell,

he had to produce the defendant, and
