Bisbee daily review., 1914-06-11

had been placed in Lord Tennlngton's boat the party was well equipped for defense and for hunting the larger game for food.
 Professor Archimedes Q. Porter was their only immediate anxiety. Fully assured in his own mind that bis daughter had been picked up by pass ing steamer. he gave over the last yes tige of apprehension concerning her welfare and devoted his giant intellect solely to the consideration of those momentous and abstruse scientific problems which he considered the only proper food for thought in one of his erudition. His mind appeared blank to the influence of all extraneous matters.
 "Never,' said the exhausted Mir. Samuel T. Philander to Lord Tenning- ton. never has Professor Porter been more dlficult-er-I might say impos- sible Why. only this morning, after l had been forced to relinquish my sur veillance for a brief half hour, he was entirely missing Spon my return. And, bless me, sir, where do you imagine I discovered him? A half mile out in the ocean, cir, in one of the lifeboats row ing away for dear life. l do not know how he attained even that magnificent distance from shore, for he had but a single oar, with which he was bliss fully rowing about in circles.
 ''When one of the sailors had taken me out to him in another boat the pro- lessor became quite indignant at my suggestion that we return at once to land Why, Mir. Philander,' he said, T am surprised that you, sir, a man of letters yourself. should have the temerity so to interrupt the progress of science. ] had about deduced from certain astronomic phenomena l have had under minute observation during the past several tropic nights an en- tirely new nebuIar hypothesis which will unquestionably startle the scien- tldc world. ] wish to consult a very excellent monograph on Laplace's hy- pothesis. which l understand is in a certain private collection in New York city Your interference, MT. Philan- der will result in an irrepSrable de- lay, for l was just rowing over to ob- tain this pamphlet And it was with the greatest difficulty that l persuad- ed him to return to shore without re- sorting to force" concluded Air. Phil ander.
 Miss Strong and her mother were very brave under the strain of almost constant apprehension of the attacks of savage beasts, nor were they quite able to accept so readily as the others the theory that Jane, Clayton and M. Thuran had been picked up safely
 Jane Porters Esmeralda was in a constant state of tears at the cruel fate which had separated her from her "po' file honey"
 Lord Tennington's great hearted good nature never deserted him for moment He was still the jovial host seeking always for the comfort and pleasure of his guests. With the men of his yacht he remained the just but firm commander. There was never any more question in the jungle than there had been on board the Lady Alice as to who was the final authori- ty in an questions of importance and in an emergencies requiring cool and intelligent leadership.
 Could this well organized and com parahvely secure party of castaways have seen the ragged, fear haunted trio few miles south of them they would scarcely have recognized in them the formerly immaculate mem bers of the little company that had laughed and played upon the Lady Alice.
 Clayton and M. Thuran were al- most naked, so torn had their clothes been by the thorn bushes and tangled vegetation of the matted jungle through which they had been compelled to force their way in searrh of their ever more difficult food supply.
 Jane Porter had, of course, not been subjected to these strenuous expedi- hons, but her apparel was, neverthe- less, in a sad state of disrepair.
