Br DONALD CHAMBERLIN
We were sailing on the Australian
coast when a boat was espied by the
lookout She was an ordinary ship's
lifeboat, open, and was dancing mer
rily on the waves in the bright sun
light When she came nearer we
counted nine men in her. She was
beading for us, and the captain gave
an order to slow down. As soon as
»be came alongside a man in the bow
balled us and asked us to take them
aboard.
The captain questioned them, and
they told him that they were members
of the crew of a ship that had collid
ed with another In a fog and had gone
to the bottom. lie asked how long
ago that was and they said a week.
Then he asked what had become of the
officers and the rest of the crew and
was told that they had gone down with
the ship. There was only time to get
out the one boat before she sank.
The story didn't appeal to the cap
tain as being likely, but he could not
refuse to take the men aboard and did
so. As soon as they came aboard we
saw that their faces were by 110 menus
attractive. They asked our captain for
what port he was bound and when ho
eaid Melbourne I noticed that 011 the
faces of some of them was a scared
look, while others seemed !•> be saying
to themselves, "Not if we can prevent
it."
I made up my mind that Ui<- men
wore mutineers and had either b.-en
put off a ship or sunk a ship i r .some
thing of the kind, but when they were
put to work they showed such igno
rance of everything nautical that 1
changed my opinion. That they were
not what they purported to be was
evident, but what they weie we had
no means of knowing.
Our ship was a small steamer, uot
needing a numerous crew. We usually
carried eighteen men, including cap
tain and mate, 1 being mate, but now
we were reduced to twelve.
One evening one of our regular crew
came to me and told me that the
strangers had taken weapons from the
ship's armory and hidden them in the
hold. The captain was asleep iu his
cabin at the time, and 1 preferred to
act on the information rather than
wake him up. He was a headstrong
man and was liable to give our ene
mies the advantage by some rash act.
I sent for the man who had been
spokesman when we met them and
asked him whether he and his men
preferred to make some other port
than Melbourne. He admitted that
they would, but when 1 asked hiui
where they would like to put in he said
that they preferred uot to stop at an
Australian port at all. 1 told him to
consult with his mates as to what they
wanted and let me know.
I did .this to put the strangers off
their guard and gain time. It was evi
dent, from their not wishing to go
ashore in Australian territory, that
they were criminals. After consulting
with the others the leader came back
and told me that they would like to be
put out In a large boat we carried
which was rigged with a sail and In
part decked over. Of course they would
need to be provisioned.
This was a dead giveaway on their
part and showed that they were des
perate, for they had no knowledge of
navigation and would be at the mercy
of the winds aud waters. I pretended
to accede to their request aud di
rected that they come ou deck and get
the boat ready to be lowered. As soon
as they went to work I sent men to
collect the weapons they had stolen.
When this was done 1 stationed men
In different parts of the vessel, all
armed. Then 1 began to send the
strangers in different directions for
different articles they would need on
their voyage. Some were sent for pro
visions, some for water, some for
blankets, some for fuel.
I first ordered their spokesman, who
was leader-as well, to take two men
with him and go down to the hold for
some salt pork. He obeyed and three
out of the nine men went below not
to reappear again, for as soon as they
got Into the dark hold hands were
clapped on their mouths and they were
removed to the brig. As .soon as it
was reported to me that they had been
captured I sent two more men to the
sail room for canvas. They, too, were
secured, and within tweiity minutes
from the time they had started to get
the boat ready I had them atl under
lock an J key.
When the captain appeared on deck
the next morning aud I told him that
the strangers had stolen arms he look
ed serions. Then when I t»ld him that
I had the men secured be was aston
ished, not being able to understand
how he could have slept through a mu
tiny. Finally when I gave him my
plan and the manner of its accomplish
ment he reprimanded me for .icting
without his orders.
A few days later we reached port. I
went to the municipal office and stat
cd the case, to be told that nine persons
serving terms at a prison near the coast
had escaped. A bJrit was missiug. and
It was supposed they had taken it and
put to sea. Government officers were
looking for them, but thus far had seen
nothing of them.
The men were taken in charge by
the police and returned to the prison.
Their leader told me before leaving
that they had planned to take the
ship the very night I executed the
plan that resulted in their capture.

CARVED A LIVING FISH.
Part Was Cooked and the Other Part
Swam Around Till Needed.
Not many ,vi:irs ago. being one of the
i few foreigners permitted to reside In
the interior of J:i|i:iu, I was fuvoreil
with tills interesting experience;
I.lving nonr ;i small fishing village
and out of convenient reach of the
treaty |«ms, I found it necessary to
I content myself to a great extent with
I unlive subsistence. However, a daily
j supply of delicious living (Ssb went far
to compensate for llie absence of beef
steak and bread and butter.
The peddlers of list) carry their
tinny merchandise in shallow tubs
tilled with waier. suspended from the
ends of a yoke across, the shoulders.
In lliis fashion ihey trot along for
miles on their rounds.
i Having the adv milage of first choice,
I I could usually s» le; t one •>( a size
'suitable ler the day's needs. Inn one
I morning liny were all entirely too
I large, and when il was pointed out
that ti e smallest was double the size
wanted he rcplitd:
"«ih, but you can cut it iu two; use
half today, the oilier half tomorrow."
Tills suggesrli.il would seem simple
enough in Ameri' an markets, but when
| he was told that slide llsli was unde
j sirabio he explained that the remaining
half would he as lively tomorrow or
I any day thereafter until used: that tlie
| opcrati'iu would not hurt the Hsli iu 1
Hie slight.'st rc.-'peit. At this point
curiosity prompted me to direct the
Hip vivisrclionist to proceed with his
barbarous ad.
011 u board ami placed his long, keen
edged knife ju>l back of tlio gills and
quickly si! • • ! <iff :• II of one side down
to the tail :ii;<1 s > i lose to I lie r!!»s thai
you coulii almost see llicra. The part
containing the vital organs was return
o<l to the wiitw, where, of course, ow
ing to loss of equilibrium, it turned on
Its side. 1 lilt to my astonishment it
swam roiiiid lively as ever, seemingly
undisturbed by the loss of so much
ilcs'i. lino remained so until the next
day when 1 was ready to cook it.
.My unlive friends smiled at the sug- j
t'csliun of cruelly and related the story !
of a distinguished dainiio who caught j
a fish sliced in this manner that had |
been placed in the river years before j
nud lived this long time happy and i
lively as other fish. But the idea of j
carving a living fish made me shudder, j
and I never tried It ngain.—C. P. Wei- i

SYMBOLS AS SHOP SIGNS. I
A Lcgacy From the Old Days When j
but Few Persons Could Read.
The man on (he street, and especially
the man on the street in Manhattan,
does not realize lliat he is every day
perpetualiie.' in the siens that lie uses
the customs of a people who could not
read. In ilie old days It was useless to
put up the sign "apothecary." because |
few coilid read it. So the apothecary
decorated his 'hop front with a mortar
and |>cstlc as a sign of his trade.
We can read now. most of us. but we
cllnir to signs of this sort still. The
symbol lingers.
Here and there a barber tries to j
throw off iis yoke by painting a sign
that reads "tonsoria! parlor," but the
normal barber shop proudly sets up its
totem pole, which retains as a tradi
tion the silent but eloquent testimony
of the former practice on the part of
the barber of blood letting.
Similarly the pawnbroker hangs up
his trinity of golden balls because the
original pawnbroking business was
started by a Xlidi<l. whose coat of
arms was charged with three golden
balls on a field of silver.
The wooden Indian signifies a to
bacco store because it was from the
Indians I hat the idea of smoking orig
in illy came. Tin- noble red man has
tints I en del.: ,1 and doomed to hold
forth in (:ii y a bunch of cigars to both
the willing and the unwilling.
A boot that swings as a sign says
plainly to every man. "This is a shoe
shop." The shoes within will wear
themselves out in the service of those
who buy tiicni. A large wooden watch
can mean only one thing, and that Is
that the sign owner is a horologist.—

RAILROADS ASK IXCREASE
Topeka, Kansas, April 6—Applica
lion of the railroads in Kansas to
increase their passenger rates to
day was formally lieard by the pub
lic utility commission. The case
promises to be a long drawn out
affair Encouraged by increases
granted by the interstate commerce
commission, the railroad officials
felt that the public is gradually
adopting a more "reasonable" at
titude toward the common caarriers.
Since the first of the year the
roads have been advertising heavily
in Kansas newspapers in an "edu
cational campaign."

How Rusty Kettles Were Cleaned.
An old fashioned recipe for cleaning
the inside of a rusty kettle consisted in
flliing it to the brim with hay. As

be poured over the top, the kettle
placed 011 the fire and boiled for sev
eral hours, more water being added
when required.
