Gorilla and Man Eiaht.

A death struggle on the high seas
between a huge gorilla from the wilds
Of Borneo and a brawny sailor, in
which the beast was finally killed,
took place on the liner Pathan, plying
between Yokohama and Boston. The
purser, Pedday, was the victim of the
Infatuated animals wrath, and only
because he was possessed of unusual
strength did he escape with his life.
The gorilla weighed 200 pounds. Ped
day had teased the animal until it
went into q frenzy. 1t tore out Of its
cage and with its gigantic, hairy arms
about the purser bore him to the deck.
Pedday, by the exercise Of almost su-
perhuman strength, saved himself from
being thrown overheard until a group
Of Malay sailors went to his assistance
with Delaying pins and crushed the
craZed animals skull.

ed it. The draft of air which she let
in seems to have affected the e2plo-
sive mixture in the seventh jar, and it
"fumed off," The woman, when she
saw the smoke issuing from the jar,
tried to run away, fearing an explo-
sion. In her panic she knocked down
one of the jars in which nitroglycerin
was standing to cool. 1t Immediately
exploded, and the conclusion was COM
municated to several of the other re-
ceptacles, which went off with a roar.
The woman was blown a distance Of
100 yards. When picked up her dress
was found to be in a strange condi-
ton. 1t was literally torn to ribbons.
Each strip was about one-quarter inch
wide, and the rents extended from the
head to the feet in perfectly straight
lines. There were no marks of dis
fgurement on the body of the woman
from the explosion itself, though the
fall had bruised her shockingly.
1t was considered a remarkable phe-
nomenon for the clothes to have been
so curiously torn and yet the woman
herself to have escaped the usual shat
tering effect of these explosions.-New

The Mysteryof
Mark Island
A TRUE STORY
~ r.
By F. A. mitchell

There is no more attractive region
on the Atlantic coast for summer out
ings than Casco bay, Maine, and the
many islands it contains. There the hot
waves of July and August are dissi-
pated. 1t is seldom that there is not
q breeze there.
In winter the inhabitants Of the is
lands fish, mostly with huge nets. In
summer those owning boats turn an
honest penny by taking visitors out
upon the glorious waters. At almost
any time one may see the sail Of a
pleasure boat bending to the breeze,
and the engines of motorboats are al
was throbbing like a rapid drumbeat.
Not far from Orr's island, where Har-
riet Beecher Stowe laid the scene Of
one of her stories, and to the eastward
is Mark island. 1t contains possibly
half a dozen acres and is densely wood
ed. It stands alone, there being no
other land within several miles of it.
Its shores are rocky, and the waves
curling up on them even in fair wealth
er warn shippers to keep of, while dur
ing storms they send watery plumes
high into the air.
During the last decade Of the nine
teenth century Mark island was pur-
chased by a man living in Portland,
some dozen miles distant, who made
a summer residence Of it. In the early
summer he would go there in his yacht,
remain during July and August, and
when the hegira of summer boarders to
the city came around, the list Of Sep
TENDER, he would lock, bar and bolt
his house and sail away by the same
conveyance.
Who was the owner Of Mark island
the people living on the neighboring
land did not know. Orr's and Bailey's
islands, we'll stocked with summer cot
tagers and boarders, lie to the west
ward, while Sebasco is not far to the
eastward. No n at any of these
places ever made the acquaintance of
che owner of Mark island. He neither
visited any other locality o invited
his neighbors to visit him. Indeed, no
boat was allowed to make a landing
upon his shores. Several persons at

THEY BEGAN A SEARCH DE- THE PREMISES.
different times approached with the
view Of going ashore. but they were
always warned off.
The denizens of Mark island, so far
as those who were used to sailing by
it noticed, were two white men and a
colored man who acted as a servant.
Besides, there was a white woman who
was occasionally seen sitting in a leafy
bower above u rock against which the
waters swished. Sometimes she would
be reading and as boats sailed by
would look UP at those aboard. But
usually she sat idly gazing upon the
beautiful bay and the islands lying
TRANQUILITY upon its bosom. Yet, wheth-
er reading or dreaming, there was al
ways a sad look on her face.
No one could be better situated to
keep a secret than on Mark island for
the reason that there was no liability
to suspicion Of having a secret to keep.
The only neighbors are those passing
in boats. Each island in Casco bay is
a locality of itself. Within sight of
Orr's and Bailey's islands are a number
of these small GASES Of the waters, on
| some Of which are one or more houses.
while others have no inhabitants what
ever. Some are wooded, some barren
rocks. Few persons know to whom
they belong, and no n cares. Some
are occupied by the same persons year
after year, some change hands often,
while the barren rocks are always
desolate.
The only excitant Of curiosity at Mark
island was the desolate lady. Had
she been constantly in sight of the
same persons some Of them would
doubtless have been sufficiently curl
GUS to make an attempt to discover the
cause Of her sorrow. But the yachts
and the other different kinds Of boats
that sailed by eve contained the
same persons. and the vision they saw
lasted but a few moments.
For several years Mark island was
occupied by the same persons. The
desolate lady sat in her bower, and
landing there was prohibited. Posi-.
bly, the secret attached to 1t might have
been kept forever had 1t not been fol
a mistake Of judgment made by ID Of
its donizsns.
