MYSTERY ISLANDS
Some of the World's Black Spots
That Defy White Men.
HAVE NEVER BEEN EXPLORED.
Their Inhospitable Shore* or Savage
Natives Bar the Way to Thoae Who
Would Learn Their Seoreta—Fata of
Expeditions to Tiburon.
Leaving out of consideration the still
unexplored portions of the arctic and
antarctic reglous—and there are mil
lions of square miles of them—there
arc many spots on this little globe of
ours tlwt linve yet to become familiar
with tue face of a white man and to
smile or frown npon the fearleea and
hardy pathtinder.
New Guinea Is ono of the few coun
tries tlmt still present untrodden fields
for the explorer, but there are a num
ber of islands that remain a mystery to
the world at large and that will proba
bly so remain for many years to coma
One of these isles of mystery Is Tl
burou island, where not so long ago on
explorer met his fate. Ills rame was
Wayne, and he la said to have been a
clever mining expert
Wayne went across to Tiburon In
October, and not a trace has since been
seen of him. nor is It likely that bta
fate will ever be known.
He was warned of the dangers that
v,-ei • before him In spite of offers of
('liable r'!,v he could not get a soul to
;,ecotupai;y Dim. so he crossed Hell's
!'.'-- ige alone and. like all others who
have preceded 111 1:1. has never come
Tihiiriiii is no lonely Isiaud In savage |
M<>lntii'»i:i It lies iu the gulf of Call
separated from the Mexican
m iiluinl li\ uuly a few miles of salt
wnier.
Vet it remains one of the world'a
black It has never yet b"«?n ex
plored l»y white men Its oniy Inhab
itants are a irilie of Indians who, arm
ed with bows nntl arrows J loped In
some unknown but deadiy poison,
shoot down nil who try to 'und.
J'lie e\,'-eilition of IS79 vanished Into
the interior and was never seen again,
and (lie same fate befell the party
'• 1 b> I'rofessnr Millies in 1904.
l'liere is only one other Island in all
the world which enn match Tlburon,
nn<l that is .Malayta iu the Solomons.
Match it—that Is. In the way of sav
agery And even in Malavta tbereare
v.hlte men on the roast Valuable
plantation* of cocoanuts and other!
tropical produce have been planted on j
tlie shores of Malayta, bnt Inland la a
mountainous country covered with I
thick bush and inhabited by fierce |
tribe- of cannibals.
Gold Is believed to exist tn the In
terior of Malayta. and more than one
expedition hns been organized to search i
i >r the precious metal. But the bush
men, who steal noiselessly as serpents
thro'ipli the tropical forest, have wiped
out every one of the explorers, and
their « no! o dried bends decorate the
dark temples in tbe ccntral mountains. I
Other islands there are which are a« j
impregnable as Tlburon and Malayta, |
but for different reasons. One each la
Tromelin. a lonely spot of land thirty
miles north of Mauritius. It is sur
rounded by a terrific rampart of coral,
•which 1* fully 150 yards wide. A mile
our on any side of the island the sea
in from 10.000 to 12.000 feet deep. The
surf, which always breaks on the
rocky feuce of this submarine moun
tain top. makes landing practically
Impossible.
Y"t It was here that in ivoia r renin
transport was wrecked, and 110 sur
vivors out of over 800 aboard got
iisliore alive Of tbese, seven, all black
women, were rescued In the year 1776,
having by some amazing mlracla kept
life in thems»?lves for a space of fif
teen mouths, with no food bnt shell
fish and no drink bnt brackish water.
In the year 1007 that famous navi
gator, Henry Hudson, reported the ex
istence of n rock Island 300 miles east
of (j rem I and. It was named Jan May
; en. That island waj never seen again
i until the year 1800. when a party of
English people, among whom was
l.or-i D.ifferln, caught a glimpse of It
I Then It vanished for another fifty
j years, to be seen once more in July,
i&lrt, by the tourists aboard the yacht
[ iu3 liner Oceana.
j No one has ever set foot on Jan
' Ma.ven. No one Is ever likely to, for
no navigator would willingly approach
it. It is the center of the thickest fogs
on the surface of this planet, and from
j one year's end to another usually ro
: mains totally Invisible.
| Bouvet island. In the antarctic, is al
j nio't equally Inaccessible. It is the
suuiinit of u dead volcano, which rises
j steeply from immensely deep ■water,
I and it has been sighted only trice
since its discovery in 1739.
| Once and once only has man set foot
j upon it A boat from the German ex
ploring ship Valdlvla landed, bnt the
i people found exploration impossible.
; The rocky sides were not only of ap
j palling steepness, but they were liter
ally coatcd with smooth Ice, making
climbing a matter of impossibility.—

DREDGE CHANNEL
10 RAISEVESSEL
Dredging of a 150-foot channel in
land on Heceta island, tlio first
tiif unit in th© Alaska Wrecking it
Salvage Company's project for the
salving of the wrecked Alaska lin
er Curacao, by which the company
expects to clear close to $100,000
on a $4,000 investment, was com
pleted at the end of last, week, ac
cording to word received this morn
ing by Capt. Harry W. Crosby, one
of the chief backers of the veil
lure. The vessel's stern lies in ten
fathoms, but her bow is practically
high and dry at low tide. Tlio chan
nel extends from the bow inland.
Th<» Curacao will be floated at
high tide and hauled into the chan
nel. A* high tide the channel will
have sixteen feet of water. A power
ful donkey engine at tho inner end
i:d the channel will drag the ship in
to the specially-built waterway.
To raise the vessel so she can lie
hauled into the channel, the for
ward hold will be filled with empty
Bieel drums, while a 900-ton scow
will be attachpd to the stern at
low tide with sixteen lines with a
llftlnr capacity of 2,000 tons. As th*
scow will have to raise only 1,40m
ton®, tho company officials believe
they have made ample allowamo
for all emergencies. As the tide
ris«s the scow will lift the stern
of the sunken vessel. Then, as
the ride falls, eight powerful wim-he
now under construction at tiie West
terman Iron Works in Seattle, will
take in the cables, keeping the ve-H
stl in the place to which she was
raised by the incoming tide. The op
eration will be repeated with each
tide until the vessel's keel is on a
level with the channel's bottom.
At present the company is pump
ing 900 tons of coal out of the hold
an» is selling it to the United
State Coast and Geodetic Survey shii
Gfdney. The Gedney is surveying
the inside passage from the Swift,
