When at last the attention of the Norma had
been attracted and the marooned sailors pre-

or the many things which interest the visitor
at Laysan the great number of birds and their
absolute fearlessness are perhaps the most strik-
ing DR.. Fisher of the Albatross expedition, writ
ing OF his impression of the enormous number
of birds, has very truly said:
The effect of this at first was nearly over

populous colony of sooty terms we had to exercise
much care to avoid crushing their eggs and

MURDERER EXILED BY His CONSCIENCE

Midway island, now of the most important
stations on the Pacific cable, was the scene of
many wrecks and unsolved mysteries in the days
when the sailing vessels roved the seven seas
Not the least of these strange events says the
San Francisco Chronicle involved the old bark
Wandering Minstrel which was wrecked on Mid
way in 1888. while shark fishing cruise out
of Hongkong. All hands succeeded in reaching
shore safely, where they found an old building
erected thirty years before by party of sur

i'll fated Wandering Minstrel were marooned for
II long months, subsisting on fish and the eggs

The Wandering Minstrel's company found many
