A PERILOUS VOYAGE. ;
A fcailor Crotes the Pacific
Alone in a Small 2 ten Boat
- The London Daily News conderfaes
from antipodean sources the following
interesting account of the voyage made
py a foolhardy mariner from Ban Fran
Jseo to a point near Australia:
Details are just to hand of the extra
ordinary voyage across the Pacific by
an American named Gilfoy. Xhe roy
age was undertaken aa one of pleasure,
but the adventures he passed through
were not all of an agreeable nature.
Gilfoy and his little craft were fallen
in with on tho twenty-ninth of Janua
ry by the schooner Albert Vittery. He

when taken from the boat was in a
state of extreme exhaustion. F kept
a log of the Toyage, in which the
"whole of his experience was recorded.
It seemB that ho left San Francisco on

with, t.hn intention or crossing me r a-
cific and reaching Australia. He an
ticipated that the Toyage would ocupy
som? fire months', for which period he
had provisioned his boat, taking with
him also 140 gallons of water. For
the first week matters went on rery sat
isfactorily, but after this calms and
headwinds were encountered, which
.continued for at least a fortnight: On
the twenty -sixth of September he
crossed the line, having then fair winds.
Subsequently-, however, calms set in,
and very little progress was made, bo
little, indeed, that Gilfoy found it ne
cessary to shorten his food; but before
this he was unable to eat much on ac
count of having no exercise. It was
GUfoy's habit to sleep three or four
hours before daylight, but in this he
was very often disturbed by the knock-

ten sharks came near to the boat, and
after taking mouth fuls of small fish,
would disappear. Gilfoy, however, was
very much afraid of the sharks, and
made a harpoon from a boat hook, and
with this he speared any that came
within his reach. The sharks, howev
er, soon became aware of the danger
of ging too near the boat, and after
this kept a safe diBtauce off. Several
of them were struck with tho impro
vised harpoon, but Gilfoy was unable
to draw any of them near the boat.
When, however, he went .below, he
found that tho sharks featured danger
ously near his boat, and in order, to
keep them off he had to report to strat
agem. , Each time when he retired to
rest he put his abirt hi the place where
he wan accustomed to Hit,' and the
sharks, still thinking he was there, did
not venture near. On November lOtK
the brigantino Topic was spoken and
Gilfoy was enabled to rectify bis com-
i : '.: i i s.l.l L '
dead reckoning. He also received from
the vessel a quantity of fruit. On the 1Kb
of December he was sailing along rap
idly when his boat wad suddenly struck
by a wave and capsized, and Gilfoj
way thrown into the water, lie man
aged to get on the bottom of the boat
and by great exertion succeeded in
righting it, though immediate!
er-
waru it was lurnnu xooapjeteiy over a
second time, hjutuirately he was again
ableto--TrghTlhe emit, but found that
most of his provisions and water had
been lost aud spoiled by the Bait water.
He was then 1,100 miles off Gape ban
dy. It took him seven days te put his
vessel in order, and he again resumed
his voyage. Shortly after this a sword
- tish struck the boat, causing it to leak
very much, and it was 'not observed by
Gilfoy until the boat was very nearly
full of water. JL5y the capsizing of the
boat Gilfoy lost his wa'ch and compass,
and . he therefore determined to make
for New Calidoma. On the 7th ot Jan
nary he caught a bird which had flown
on his boat, and lour days later he
caught a second one. The bird in this
i instance alighted on top of the adven
turer's head. Both of these were very
acceptable . .for food. On the : 14th of
January Gilfoy ate the last of his pro-
meat which bad lasted him for a week.
Un more than one occasion a flying
fish was caught, which was eaten with
out ceremony. Gilfoy was now becom
ing, ravenous for wvnt of food. The
16th of January brought another disas
ter, the rudder.; of tlis Teasel giving
way, but this was counteracted to a
certain extent by a temporary contri
vance which he rigged up. Off (Jape
Bellonia Island another bird was
caught, but by this time Gilfoy's hun
ger was becoming too great for him to
bear, and a last resort he took the bar
nadee from the bottom of the boat and
extracted what he cotTld from them.
On the lib. he shot a bird with his re
volver, but was unable to recover it
from the water. The next day he was
fortunate enough to catch another bird
and this did htm for two meals. He
cooked it oyer a few broken snatches.
Sunday and Monday passed without
any food, and by this time being care
lees which way the vessel steered, be
lay down to sleep. A short Urns after
ward he awoke and to his surprise he
saw a vessel a short distance off, aad
which was erkleallp making for him.
This proved lo be the Albert Vittery,
which reecoed him and landed aim at
Maryborough, Australia. Gilfoj Is a
man S3 years el age. 4

Advice to Mothers.
Are you disturbed at night and bro
ken of jour rest by a sick child su Ser
ins; and crying with pain of cutting
teeth? If so, send at once and get a
bottle of Mbs. Winblow's Sooth in
Sybup for Children Teething. Its
yalue is incalculable. It will relieve
the poor little sufferer immediately.
Depend upon it, mother, there is no
mistake about it.. It cures dyseutery
and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach
and bowels, cures wind colic, ' softens
the gums, reduces inflamatiou, and.
gives tone and energy to the whole sys
tem. Mrs. W i ns low's Sooth io
Syrup for Children Tekthiko is
pleasant to the taste, and is the pre
scription of one of the oldest and beat
female physicians and nurses in the
United States, and is for sale by all
druggists throughout the world. Price
25 cents a bottle, ly
