Lunatie Grew By NJ Quad

saw them grab up Delaying pins, can
stan bars and whatever else could he
used as weapons. The boat came dash
/ ing at US with every man yelling and
whooping, and they tried boarding rs
at once. We had no better weapons
with which to beat them on. and we
were three less in number, but when
we looked into their fierce eyes and
saw murder there we struck to kill.
They fought like tigers and seemed
insensible to blows, but we beat them
of at last.
Four of their number went 10 tbs
bottom of the sea with broken skulls
and of those pulled away all were more
or less hurt We knew now that thev
were lunatics instead of drunken men
and we stood by. till noon in the hone
that they would calm down. They an
peared to after awhile, but just as soon
as we lowered a boat they woke IN
again and ragged like wild beasts. We
could understand nothing of their
shouts except that they were oats. and
in the face of their determined oppo-
sition we could not board their craft. II
was o'clock in the afternoon when we
squared away, and then a fierce fight
was going on, and at least one man
had been thrown overheard 10 drown.
You may well guess that we aboard
the Bristol were astonished and mysti-
fed by the singular incident, but the
explanation when II came was very
simple in a sense. The Spanish ship
had a Filipino cook. He had trouble
,-sst, t1@b oHrars ar1 man oDd w.
determined to have revenge. Before
sailing from Luzon he had provided
himself with a quantity OF seed from
the plant known as aripe. II is wild
kelp, and a decoction makes a mailman
of the drinker. How he managed TO
serve It out 10 the whole crew at once
will never be known, but that was
what he did and perhaps drank a share
himself The ship was manned by
lunatic crew when she drove down on
US before the gale. and they were lun-
atics when we left them fighting and
drifting. Ten days later the ship.
which had become a wreck below and
aloft. was picked up by steamer and
towed into port. Not man living or
dead was found on board. They had
fought each other TO the last and then
the sole survivor had sought death be-
meath the waves. The cook had prob
ably mixed the poisonous deCOcuon
with their coffee or wine soon after
the storm had struck them, though not
before she was in shape to ride it out.
How long it was after we left them no
One could say, but very likely not
more than a day or so had passed when
The last of the lUnatics gave up his
life and the ship went drifting and
drifting with the sun drying up the
hundred bloodstains on her Uttered
ieck.

We were due east of the island of
Luzon. one OF the Philippine group
and heading down the China sea with
a cargo for London when we caught
the tail of a typhoon. We were lying
20 and making fairly good weather OF
Il when a Spanish ship, also lying 10,
hove into sight. She was lighter and
drove faster TO leeward. She was
about a mile to windward of us when
first sighted, and no great attention
was given her until ii was seen that
she was drifting squarely down upon
US. AS she came nearer we saw that
her crew were dancing about on her
decks like a drunken men and paying
no attention TO the storm. Her fore
topmost had gone overheard, and much
Of her canvas had blown away. and she
was being held in the winds eve by a
tarpaulin set in the rigging. A sheer
OF the wheel would have sent the Span
ish ship clear of US by half a cables
length. but the fellows drifted down
without paying US the slightest atten-
ton. and she did not move by ten feet.
AS she rode past we could look right
into the eyes of her crew. They were
about thirty in number. and they yell
ed and screamed at US like so many
lunatics. Brief as was the time, we all
noticed one popularity about them.
Beyond cursing the Spanish crew for
a gang OF idiots we had little to say.
The idea OF fear of the storm had
made them take 10 drink, as is often
the case. and they were going to Davy
Jones' with a jag on. Six hours later
the storm broke, and we headed our
course. but within six hours hours we
were pitching about on the troubled
sea without way enough 10 ruffle a
feather. I turned In at o'clock that
night and turned out again at mid
night for the morning watch. After
the sea began TO go down
very fast and at o'clock there was
only what you might call a tumble on.
Il was then that we family caught the
sound OF voices in whooping and sing
ing 10 the south OF us II was thick
night, and nothing could be made out,
but at o'clock we got a light breeze
and had not been waited along a knot
when we had the Spanish ship again
under our eyes. All her topmasts
were gone now. while a portion OF her
0nlwarks was smashed in, and she
looked a bad wreck.
We headed for the wreck at once, /
and when we came within hailing dis /
lance We asked if help was wanted. /
The reply was a chorus Of shrieks and !
screams, while many OF the men shook 1
heir fists at US in defiance. 1t look 1
I'd like a case OF mutiny. and our cap !
ain was at loss to know what step TO |
axe. Before he could make up his /
mind the Spsniards had lowered a I
BOAT and pulled for US. Every one of
he crew piled into the boat, and we

Bulldogs.

The origin OF the bulldog for a Iong
time has been a matter OF controversy.
although the origin Of the name has
been easy TO find Il comes from the
dog that was used for bull batting. a
sport that was popular some years ago.
