Jack London Safe.
In Immense Quantities.

The special correspondent of the
Woman's Home Companion in San
Francisco has telcgraphed the follow
ing message IN regard to Jack London
San Francisco, Jan. Y, l908.-Jack
London and wife arrived on the Mari
posa, safe and we'll Shark laid up
for repairs"
London's bankers in Oakland, des-
pairing of his safety, recently recorded
the mortgage against his home at Glen
Ellen, which WAS drawn last April in
order that the adventurous writer could
obtain funds with which to fit out the
Shark. 1t was understood that the
mortgage was to be held without being
recorded as long as London's safety
seemed assured. The action of the
bank was taken as an indication that
its officers feared he had met disaster.
Jack London left Hilo, Hawaii. on
October 9th for Tahiti of the Society
Islands on his voyage around the world
for the Woman's Home ICompanion in
his little ketch-rigged boat the Shark.
He should have reached Tahiti by the
first of December, and 1T was feared
that some serious accident had befallen
HIM. With London in the Shark were
his wife, James L. Warren, who is cap
tain, Martin johnson, the engineer, one
sailor and two Japanese servants.
London intends to spend seven years
on his voyage around the world,
describing for the Woman's Home Com
panion the life and customs of coun-
tries Of the strange people he meets.
From the Society Islands he expects
to touch at Samoa, Tasmania, New
leland, Australia, New Guinea, then
up through the Philippines to Japan,
Korea and China. and so on to India.
Afater this is to come to Europe, the
Atlantic Coast of America, and San
Francisco again, via, the Horn.
The Shark is forty-five feet on the
water line, weigh thirty tons, and has
an'auxlliary gas engine which, getting
out of repair caused the delay that has
occasioned so much worry. The en-
gines are now being overhauled at
Papeiti. The boat, as originally plan
ned. was to cost $1,000. She actually
cost about S25, 00G before she left San
Francisco. six months late, the ter
rible increase in cost being due to the
earthquake and fire and to the subse-
quent scarcity of labor.

The nights near Manassas Gap are fine
observation points, and from them
Meade's signal officers could see the
whole Confederate army marching to-
ward Front Royal. The three corps
were on the same road, with only the
distance of a hating place between
them. The news of his signal officers
was so definite that Meade acted upon
it, and formed the plan of bursting thru
Manassas Gap and cutting the column
in two. He was the more inclined to
this, as Buford was calling loudly for
help to hold the gap. Buford had ad-
vanced his skirmish line into the Val
ley, when Pickett came up with his
division and drove them back into the
gap preparatory to an attempt to force
passage.

important command, very much to the
dissatisfaction of those under him.
Therefore, in place of executing the
blow which Meade had planned, and
which would have / cen in all probabiIi-

forward slowly and timidly, making
weak reconnoissances when he should
