Port Praslin, Solomon Islands,
November 1.--During my voyage l
have been at numerous places where
cannibalism has been practiced IN
former days, but now | am where
it is still in vogue. In fact the IN
habitants of the Solomon group OF
islands are so savage that no strang-
er dares to 90 far from the ship
which brings him to these waters
Many natives are to be seen on the
beach, and they swarm about the
ship in their peculiar canoes, with
curios and fruits for sale, but l am
told that in spite of thel. appar-
rent friendliness death would be the
portion of anyone who accepted
! their offers of hospitality and visit
ed their villages.
| was surprised to see a little
schooner lying in the harbor here
when we arrived, and still more sur
prised when learned that it was
the Shark, the boat in which Jack
London. the author, and his wife
are making a trip around the world
London is very i'll and will have to
give up his trip for a while, and
even now is preparing to leave his
vessel here while he goes back to
Australia to have an operation per-
formed.
The canoes of these people are
the most beautiful to be seen in the
the Pacific, being made of planks
sewn together and made water tight
by sort of bitumen. They are
about twenty feet in length ano
are very light and trim, tapering tc
a point at each end. They have
high prows and stern, which arefol
the purpose of shielding them from
the arrows of their enemies whenir
battle. They are wreathed witt
shells and inlaid with mother OF
pearl. The men are adept at driv'
ing them drought the water, ano
they came about the ship at once
on our dropping anchor.
The captain forbid any CT the
passengers from going ashore, anC
told US that on one of his previous
trips four men insisted on going tt
the beach to deal with the natives
The captain told them that hi
would blow his whistle three hours
before the ship sailed, and for then
to Immediately return to the vessel
The whistle was blown according t.
agreement but the men did no
come back, and though the shll
waited twenty-four hours nothing
was ever heard of the men, lsup
pose they made a fine meal for tn
, islanders.
The natives are naked, both mel
and women, and are most UMPIRE
possessing in appearance. The,
have many curios for this island
not only full of strange birds an
animals, which have not been foun

IN A vERiTAeLE WONDERLAND.
Pixies Peak the Center of Colorado's
Magnificent Scenery.

Pixies Peak, that historic beacon
summit which guided the early ex.
plorers across the great plains, rears
its snowy crest in the midst OF YER
liable wonderland Here Nature is
seen In her grandest as well as in
some of her most fantastic moods
Great mountain peaks are here-mas
sive, gigantic--lifting themselves into
the regions of perpetual snow Here
are a half dozen stupendous canyons,
each miles in length, where the gran
tie mountains have been cleft asunder
and rock walls rise perpendicularly a
thousand feet Here medicinal springs
sush forth for healing and refresh
ment. Here, too, was the playground
of Titanic forces when the world was
shape and color, rising in airy pin
nacles like the spires OF a Milan, or in
solid shafts against which all the
forces of modern enginery might beat
in vain, or in lofty spires so slender
that one almost fears to lean his puny
weight against them. And here, too,
is the perfection of the Colorado eli
mate, whose charms and remedial yir.
tues have given to the region a world
wide frame; bringing to thousands the
blessings of restored or returning
health, and to all who come within its
influence the delights Of new exist,

Norfolk, Va, Feb. Hidden be
meath the turbulent waves that rol
wildly over Diamond Shoals, IA miles
off Cape Hatteras, N. c., the secret o
the identity of the mysterious steamer
which went down there Saturday
probably with all hands on board re
mains untold.
The daylight of another day gave
no evidence, furnished no clues to cor
roborate the testimony of those
aboard the Diamond Shoals lightship
who witnessed, helpless to aid, this
latest tragedy of the well named
graveyard OF the Atlantic" When
darkness fell upon the scene last night
not a single piece of wreckage had
been detected either on. shore or on
the oceans bosom and it may be sew
eral days before anything is dis
covered
Neither the government weather
station nor the local commercial wire
less station received any additional
news relative to the Inflated vessel
No definite news has come to the Nor
folk navy yard from the revenue cut
ter Onondaga, which is at the scene oi
the reported disaster
The Savannah line steamer City oi
Savannah, which arrived at Savannah
yesterday from New York, brought ne
news that might aid in clearing up the
mystery although her wireless opera
tor caught the message from the light
ship and was positive that the shiT
was described as a single funneled
vessel.
A message to the Associated Press
from Keeper StyrOn, of the Durant
life saving station at Hatteras, reads
as follows:
mo details known in this locality .ol
steamer reported foundered near Dia
mond Shoals l!shtship No wreckagt
has drifted up here and none has beer
seen from the shore"
The government weather officials
Of the Norfolk and Cape Henry sta
tions, who are I'm direct telegraphiC
and telephone communication witt
practically every point along the Vir
ginia and North Carolina coast. have
had no word from any station that in
dications of a shipwreck had been dis
covered and in spite of the fact those
aboard the lightship report that they
saw the steamer sink, they are I'm
clined TO doubt that a self-propellet
vessel with human lives aboard, really
foundered.
Local shipping authorities declare
that the steamer probably was an
abandoned derelict.
