the ages diamonds have been worked in
India and elsewhere in the east, and

royo. A dense white steam marked its
course. The air was now heavy with por-
tent. Successive explosions. some light,
some severe. shook the foundations of the
island. Great rocks and boulders bounded
down the hills. The flashes of lightning
had become more frequent. We moved, ex-
aggerated to each others vision by the
strange light. uncouth and gigantic.
Lets get out of this.'' cried Thrackles.
We turned at the word and ran, Thrack-
les staggering under the weight of the
chest. All our belongings we abandoned.
and set out for the Laughing Lass with
only the tatters in which we stood. Luckily
for us a great part of the ships stores had
been returned to her hold after the last
thorough scrubbng. so we were in sub
sistence, but all our clothes, all our per-
sonal belongings, were left behind US on
the beach. For after once we had topped
the cliff that led over to the cove, doubt
If any consideration on earth would have
induced US to return to that accused place
The row out to the ship was wet and
dangerous. Seismic disturbances were un-
doubtedly responsible for high pyramidic
waves that lifted and fell without onward
movement. We fairly tumbled up out Of
the dory, which we did not hoist on deck,
but left at the end of the painter to beat
her sides against the ship.

English Society Journal
On King Edwards Pockets
Special Correspondence of The Star.

- LONDON, June 20, 1907.
TIERCE Is the light that beats upon
r a throne. King Edward is allowed
to have no secrets from his faith
full subjects. An English society Journal
claims to have discovered just what he
carries in his pockets, and spreads the
inventory before its readers IN this
fashion:
Like every man who values the look
Of his clothes King Edward carries very
little In his pockets besides a handker-
chief. In his waistcoat pocket he car
ries a gold pencil case. a cigar cutter,
little pass key. a gold watch. carefully
regulated by Greenwich time. and half
a dozen sovereigns. In his coat pocket
he carries q tiny notebook. and In the
winter he puts his gloves in the pocket
Of his topcoat. The king never carries
a cigar case, except a gold case which
holds one cigar, but he almost always
has a small box of loZenges. Unlike his
nephew. the kaiser, he never carries a
fountain pen in his pocket"
The same paper which prints this stuff Is
much given to sneering at the inquisitive-
ness Of American journalism, but I never
heard Of an American newspaper seeking
to pry into the pockets Of a man, however
distinguished. AS matter of fact, no.
body knows what the king carries in his
pockets and nobody of any sense cares,

The Open Sea.

Our haste, however. awaited us little, for
there was no wind at all. We lay for over
two hours under the weird light over
canopied by the red-brown cloud while the
explosions shook the foundations of the
world. Nobody ventured below. The sails
tapped idly from the masts; the blocks and
spars creaked: the three-cornered waves
rose straight up and fell again as though
reaching from the deep.
When the men first began to sweat the
sails UP. evidently in preparation for an
immediate departure, l objected vehe-
mently.

After the sails were on her We gathered
at the starboard rail to watch the shore
There the hills ran into inky blackness as
the horizon sometimes mergeS into a thun-

the creek bed within the arroyo. The
surges beat on the shore louder than the
ordinary, and the foam. even in these day
hours. seemed to throw up faint phos-
phorescence. Frequent earthquakes oscil-
lated the landscape. We watched, do not

CHINESE TOWNS EXCITED.
Alleged Ghost That Eats Startles tn,
CelestialS

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PICKING. June GA ghost that eats
has thrown the towns Of the Siang-fu dis
trict of China into a commotion. The facts
as related in the North China Herald are
remarkable. The thirty-year-old son of
Tzi-lung. school teacher. was thought to
have died of typhus fever. His family be-
ing very poor. the body was placed In a
frail wooden coffin and buried only a few
inches in the soil outside the western gate
of the town Of Siangyang. Ten days later
man put his horse out to Craze near the
spot. The beast found good grass near the
grave and brought its foot down on the
soil above the coffin. the lid of which was
broken. In little while the owner of the
horse saw a gaunt white arm thrust
through the hole made by the hoof of the
horse.
Thinking the dead mans ghost was about
to rise TO avenge the insult offered in the
breaking of the coffin, the watcher hurried
up and began shelving earth into the hole
to keep the ghost down. A muffied voice
expostulated and begged to be freed, claim
ing to be the living son of Tzi-lung The
watcher fled in terror to the town, where he
told every one that he met of what had
happened. The ghosts" father urged that
the ghost should be let alone and not
further disturbed.
A large crowd. however, went out of the
city to view in wonder The ghost kept
begging most piteously to be let out. One
man had courage enough to unearth the
cover of the coffin completely, thus allow
ing the 'resurrected' man to sit up. Rice
soup and wine were brought and rayenously
devoured by the ghost" still sitting up
right in his coffin. embedded in the earth.
Finally the unhappy ghost was released
and is confined in a temple until he is able
to prove that he is living man and has
right to be regarded as alive
