SAILORS YARNS.

Iandsmen are still remarkably credulous re-
gardmg sailors yarns, despite many discourage
ments. The skipper of the good whaler Karluk
has just returned from the Arctic with the tale Of
a wonderful region in the far north where the
weather answers to the description set down in a
Los Angeles real estate advertisement and where
the swallows fly in mid-winter 1t may not be
long before we viii hear Of an expedition starting
for this unknown territory with the scheme of
planting orange groves TO provide for the Alaskan
trade Sailors yarns have led to wilder projects
than this Some Years ago imaginative skip
per brought into the wonder port Of San Fran
eisco the tale of manless isle in the Pacific
This place, he declared, was inhabited only by
beautiful South Sea island girls who were signing
for husbands. The isle was wonderfully rich in
cocoanuts and tropical fruits, and even had beds
of pearl oysters close by The story read like
Tennyson's poem, The Princess, only the Eyes
of this Adamless Eden III the Pacific ocean were
not man-eaters All of them were reported as
being exceedingly anxious to obtain husbands
with whom they might divide their shares in the
ocoanut groves and the pearl oyster beds
The tale was attractive and convincing
that an expedition was made up in all seriousness
~ San Francisco TO go to the manless isle Quite
number Of apparently sensible men in all walks
Of life contributed toward the purchase Of YES
sci and complete equipments for housekeeping IN
the South Seas Even the latitude and longitude
Of the Adamless Eden were given, so it seemed
that there could be no mistake about it. Taking
plenty Of blank marriage licenses along, the ex-
petition started, but it never located the maness
isle. This place proved TO be only the -drea
Of an oyer-imaginatiye skipper.
This is no insinuation against the skipper W
located the Arctic tropics There is no reason
TO doubt his word But should any adventurous
spirits be considering the advisability of starta
