Attacked by a Pirate Junk
BY A. G. SCHRADER

TlIERE is Il record of the ship
Julia Sturdevant having beer
burned at sea with all on
board except five of the crew,
who We're picked up in Il lifeboat
while the vessel was burning off the
coast of Korea. This happened many
years 100 when l was a young man. l
am now a ninety year old hulk, laid
up at he Sailors snug harbor, ready
for the j%unkheap. The Julia Sturde-
want was set attire, and l applied the
torch that burned her. Before sailing
on my eternal voyage l have to confess
this tact and tell how | came TO do it.
There is no sin on my conscience in
that burning, but there are others that
are Il hundred times worse than burn
ing a ship.
When l stepped IN the Julia Sturde-
want ! was twenty-five years old. We
sailed from Boston to Japan. taking
out a cargo such as the little yellow
me needed then, but don't need now,
for that wasn't long after Commodore
Perry sailed in among them and began
their civilizing. The Sturdevant was
ono of the early steamers. having pad
die wheels and sails. and her engine
was Il primitive one. Amy we'll rugged
ship in a stiff breeze could outsail her.
We We're blowing along through the
China sea against a stiff Worcester,
when before the wind came a Chinese
junk. Before she reached us she hoist
n1 tl,n s1-l,ll nnl hnpnc 0n1 firnI q shot
at lis as an order to stop. We hadn't
so much as a salute cannon aboard and
few small arms. There We're ports
for four guns on each side of the junk,
and her decks swarmed with men. We
saw it was all up with us, and our
captain surrendered with a condition
that all our lives be spared.
AS soon as the pirates came aboard
they began to look the vessel over and
concluded to divide their force. run
ming her as well as their OWL ship.
Without regarding the condition they
had made, they forced all the crew eX-
cept five of us to walk the plank.
What they kept us five for was to di-
rect the working of the ship. since they

Fifteen of them stayed on the cap

and plenty of small arms. while the
others sailed away on the junk. We

orders or walk the plank like the others.
And that's the crime have to confess.

SHUTTING OUT SUNSHINE.
Various Ways to Brighten Up a Home
In Winter,

IN WInIeF.
If the housewife wishes to keep
cheerful and happy she must provide
for herself surroundings calculated
to cheer and uplift. This can never
be done by shutting out the sunshine
and darkening the rooms with heavy
hangings and somber papers. Rath-
err it is her part to furnish her home
with sunny papers and bright dra-
peries.
This need not mean that the home
must look out of date or cheap. The
interior decorators have used chintzes
SO lavishly in their work of late years
that it is considered very smart. They
have produced some startling effects
with the futurist cretonnes and the
elaborate black and white chintzes.
Nor can this material by any means
be considered cheap when the good
cretonnes sell up to 81 and SIS a yard.
1t is fortunate, however, for ONE
of moderate means that chintz also
sells as low as II and Is cents a yard.
With the aid Of plain, light colored
wall paper and expensive or mex
pensive chintZ a home can be made
to look 10 degrees lighter than it did
when filled with dark velvets and
subdued wall papers. The effect this
change will have on the dispositions
of the inmates of the home will quite
offset any extra expense incurred in
bringing it about. Bright surround
ings are essential to bright natures.

for more than half IL century that ]
didn't choose the better part.
I'm not going to name all the crimes
we committed because we had to. I'm
simply going to tell how we finally
made our escape. After awhile we
agreed that we would pretend that we
were contented with our lot, ask for
our share of the plumber and do every
thing else we could to put the yellow
devils off their guard. One thing We
were afraid Of. There was one ship
that we tried to capture and failed.
We boarded her and were fighting
hand to hand with her crew when they
saw us white men fighting with the
yellow ones. We We're about to Join
our W color when. fired with hatred
against us for being part Of a Chinese
pirate crew, they made Il desperate
dash n drove us back on to our own
ship. After that we knew that if we
escaped the pirates and We're recognize
ed by any of the men on that ship we
would bangle at q yardarm.
The next ship taken had q lot of
liquor aboard, and every pirate got
drunk. We watched our opportunity,
pretending to drink and be drunk like
the others. till they were all laid out.
When eight of them were either asleep
Or stupid with liquor below and the
rest being in the same condition on
deck. we clapped down the matches on
those below. What we did to those on
deck don't mention, except that they
didn't trouble us any more.
W. hadn't more than fixed them all
when looking head we saw a ship
corning and made out the stars and
stripes at her peak, for in those days
our fla" was often seen On the ocean.
Some of us thought that if she over
hauled us and we told our story we
would be believed. Others didn't think
we would. Some day some of us
might meet some of the crew of the
ship we had boarded. l made up my
mind what to do and without SAYING
anything got a lot of tow and oakum
together and set fire to it. The wind
was high. and in fifteen minutes the
whole ship was ablaze. We lowered
II of the boats. got into her and pull
ed for the Yankee ship.
When we reached her we reported
that we had been a1ire for three DAYS
and if we hadn't met the Yankee in
time we would nave been lost. And
that's how the ship Julia Sturdevant
came to be reported burned at sea
With five Of the crew saved. 1t was
rade clear what became of the
rest Of the crew. l managed that sto-
ry by saying that when the fire finally
got ahead of us the others We're cut
