FROM the 3fltdkO News.
One dark night several years ago a
sailing vessel from Arendal, Norway. was
crossing the North Atlantic. on it's way
from America to England There was
strong east wind, against which the
ship was lacking. As 1t drew toward
eight bells in the evening, the captain
was walking back and forth on the
bridge, trying to make up his mind
whether to put about or to continue on
the same course for another watch or
two.
As he walked he suddenly received a
blow on his chest. which, he discovered
had been dealt by a sea bird. Then his
winged assailant quickly disappeared to
leeward.
A few moments later the captain was
just giving the command 70 turn the
vessel when he again received a blow
In the chest from the same messenger.
Then the bird disappeared as before IN
a southwestery direction. After this
had been repeated several more times. the

the southwest, the captain. who thought
there must be something supernatural in
the matter. decided to follow the bird.
Instead of turning back. he caused the
boats course to he set toward the south
west This was no soNler done than the
bird settled down on the ships railing
beside the captain.
The boat now sailed at great pace be-
fore the strong wind But although a
sifarp watch was kept aft as we'll as for

unusual was discovered.

A Formosan Pocahontas

FROM the Japan AuNefllsef
A party of Formosan aboriginals of
Taiyaru tribe, S. IN number. arrived at
Mol on the 26th inst. on pleasure tour
through Japan under the guidance of a
Japanese police Inspector from Formosa.
They left Mol for Kobe on the same day

tourist there is a young woman named
Yayutsu, to whom a romantic history at
taches. The story is wired to the Toxic
papers from Moji and read something as
follows.
Yayutsu is 30 years old and Is exceed
ingly clever She Is a pupil at school
in Formosa and Is well skilled in sewing,
reading and writing. She speaks Japanese
huently. and is versed in the tea cere-
mony, flower arrangement and other
womanly accomplishments. Many years
ago one Nakano, a chemical merchant of
Kyoto. crossed over to Formosa on busi-
ness. During his stay in Formosa Mr..
Nakano often ventured into the depths OF
the forests In quest of chemical plants,
and one day he was caught by the saw
ages, put under arrest and taken to the
house of the savage ehieftain. A confer
ence was held between the chief and his
followers to determine how the Japanese
captive should be treated, and their YER
dict was that he should be put to death.
Yayutsu was the daughter of the chief
tain and was then In her 10Th year. She
conceived a profound pity for the pris-
oner. and earnestly interoeded with her
father for his release. The father was
not to be prevailed upon, He would, ne
said lose face with his clan If he should
allow paternal affection to interfere with
the decision of the tribal conference. The
girl was, however, determined to rescue
Nakano and tearfully duplicated her
father to set the victim free. The savage

offered her and expressed her resolve
never to return home, though she were
deserted by the man she loved. unless
indeed she came home with his scalp.
