BULL BRPELs BoARDERs.
The last bull was killed by Lagartijllo.
IL was the same story, except that Just as
the matador gave the deathblow the bull
hooked him along his right side and tore
his clothes, He had a narrow escape. His
wounds we're only bruises. As the bull
sank down dying fully 200 bluejackets
jumped into the ring to follow the example
Of two who earlier in the fight had leaped
in and secured the darts In an animals
neck for momentoes. They swarmed At
Yankee Doodle. He saw them coming n
as they seized the darts rose TO bis feet
and tried 10 lunge at some Of them. II
was too much and he fell as the men began
to scatter and died at once. Bill said:
Fine work. He tried 70 repel boarders,
and he done II, tool II yer ships sinkin'
and it's yer last gasp don't never fergit to
| repel boarders. Ye kin 60 ter glory salts
fed then. They ought ter named that bull
Cumberland
Bill explained the days events:
Eye see, the bull amt got no chance after
his ammunition is gone. He was hrin'
his last three inch guns when he got that
Padillo Teller. It's a case o torpedo de-
stroyers.and gunboats hghtin' an unarmored
cruiser with a short supply o ammunition.
When that gives out the cruiser is bound
10 90. Some O. the ~destroyers gets put
out. as Bonarillo and Padilo did, but there's
no use in goin' T. sea unless ye got full
magazines and amt cut OF from your sup
plies. Oh, yes. there's lots o things to
learn from these %bulldghts!'
B~IUEJAcKErs INDIFFERENT.
Then Bill shifted his quid and joined the
crowd going out. The bluejackets didn't
care much for the sport. Some Of them
left after the third fight and there was a
steady stream from the ring afterwSrd.
Those who remained had this one comment:
'0ne Teller got it in the neck-got the
hook, all right
The writer holds no brief for The defence
Of bull fighting, but he wishes to say that
the exhibition. with the goring Of horses
left out, was no more disgusting than a
prize fight between two bruisers. Any
contest that has the letting Of blood a. its
chief feature may be called sport II its de-
voices so choose. This fight was no morn
brutal than shooting at bears from a safe
distance and was not half so cruel as wound
ing a deer and allowing il 10 drag itself
away and die in suffering. The bulls were
in rain from the darts and showed 1t from
time 10 time, but in their rage they forgot
the pain after an instant or two. Giving
them a thurst in the heart was no more
cruel in the way Of killing than II is TO hang
up a turkey or a chicken, cut its throat
and let il bleed to death.
Death came almost in an instant TO the
bulls, The fighters risked their lives
dozens Of times. The bull had a fair show
at them. Their quick movements, hair
breadth escapes, showed that nerve and rare
skill were required. Compared with prize
fighting where two sluggers cover them
selves with blood, and when one is stagger-
ing about from exhaustion the other gives
him a blow that makes him unconscious
we'll, the writer says unhesitatingly that he
prefers the Peruvian bull fight. II all de-
ponds, you see, upon the point Of view.
THE MOUNTAIN TRIP.
Only a limited party could be the guests
Of the Government on the 0roya Railroad
trip. II was known as the Official party.
An unofficial party with an engine and a
passenger car followed. This 0roya Rail
road was started by Henry Meiggs, the
defaulting partner Of Ralston In California
who fed 10 Chile, got rich and paid up his
debts. In 1859 he went 10 Peru and started
this railroad.
Poru had money TO spend then, Meiggs
finished the road up the mountains as far
as Chiola in l0is, and then the money gave
out. More than $4,000 900 had been spent
in going lightweight miles. Later the
Peruvian Corporation finished the road to
Oroya, on the other side Of the Andes. and
connections have been made with the road
10 the famous Cerro de Pasco mines, owned
by Mr.. Haggin and other American million
aires. Two other branches have been
built and ultimately it ls planned 10 extend
the road TO the head waters Of the Amazon
in Peru, 80 as TO give the country on the
east Of the Andes an outlet TO the Atlantic
Ocean for its products.
The highest place on the line il Caller a
tunnel. under Mount Meigs. II is 10, 665 feet
high. The distance is 100 miles from CAL
lao. There is not an inch Of down grade in
the climb. There are no less than fifty
seven tunnels. Bridges over chasms and
foaming cascades and the River Rmac.
whose course the road follows, are num-
bered by the score. For forty-seven miles
II is a steady climb beside the Rimac tor
rent in a desolate country, with the noun
tains red and bare. There Is no rainfall
in that dis trict.
TERRACES OF H INcAs.
Then you come TO where the river is
hemmed In by mountain gorges, and you
have to climb by means Of ~switchbacks.
Up you 60. tiltng this way and that, be-
yond two layers Of clouds, The sides Of
the mountains become green You are
now in the land ofthe ancient Incas. Aban-
doned terraces that lose themselves in the
clouds flank scores Of mountain sides.
The lncas raised their products there by
