?< i_ ?
On the 26th day of October, A. P.
1871, the trading schooner Little
King sailed out of the port of Sin
gapore, bound for the Kinderoon is
lands, to the north, and only one of
her crew was ever again met with.
For five years before the schooner
had belonged to and been command- :
ed by Captain Ezra Williams, an
American from San Francisco, lie
traded between Singapore and Su
matra, Java, Borneo and the smaller
islands of the Java sea, and in May.
1874, died at Singapore of fever,
lie had then been married for three
years to an English woman, whose
maiden name was Danforth, who
had been a domestic in an English
family in Singapore. She had ac
companied him in all his voyages
and had secured much experience
and information. As she could not
readily dispose of the schooner, she
determined to continue in the busi
ness, acting as her own supercargo.
Mrs. Williams secured an Eng
lishman named Packer as captain,
another named Hope as mate, and
with three Malays before the mast
and a Chinese cook and with aboul
$7,000 in specie in the cabin slu
6ailcd away on her first voyage, and
it was four years later before she
was again heard of. The purpose
of this narrative is to chronicle her
adventures in the interim as I had |
f Irnm ^ i?nm 1> on nn'w 1%*-,^
iuv i.i iivm uci una iips.
While it was a bit queer to star;
on a voyage with a woman virtually
in command of the craft, Mrs.
Williams had nothing to fear from
her crew. The officers were good
navigators, and the men were will
ing, and all were anxious for a
profitable voyage. She had no com
plaints to make until the islands
had been reached. The group lies
between the Malay peninsula and
the island of Borneo, about 100
miles off the coast of the former
and from 250 to 300 miles from
Borneo. There are 19 islands in
the group, covering a length of 120
miles by about 40 broad. There
are only seven or eight which are
inhabited, and at the time of which
1 write the people were a lawless
set and a share of them out and
out pirates.
The products were dried fish, sea
shells, cocoanuts, dyestuffs, various
herbs and roots for medicinal pur
poses and several sorts of spices.
The schooner had been there once
before and made a profitable trip of
it. She had clothing, powder, shoes,
axes and a great variety of notions,
and where none of these was wanted
ahe paid cash.
On this trip the schooner worked
to the northward and made her stop,
at the island of Quewang, being the
third one from the northernmost is
land of the group. She met with a
cordial reception and at once began
bartering for and receiving cargo.
She was anchored in a sheltered
bay within 500 feet of the beach
and had been there five days before
anything occurred to arouse Mrs.
Williams' suspicions that all was
not right. She then observed that
the entire crew were drinking deep
ly of a native liquor which the na
tives were supplying in a liberal
manner and that some of the fel
lows were becoming impudently fa
miliar.
W hen the captain was spoken to,
lie laughed at her idea of trouble
and promised better things, but the
drinking continued. On the after
soon of the seventh day several wo
men came off in the canoes. One of
them who could speak English pret
ty fairly was presented with 6onie
ornaments by Mrs. Williams, and in
return she hinted to her that it was
the intention of the natives to cap
ture and loot the schooner that
night. They had disaovered that
there was a large sum of money on
board, and they had found the crew
an easy one to handle. The nntive
woman hadnt time or opportunity
to say much, but no sooner had the
crowd of natives left the schooner
art dusk, as was their custom, than
Mrs. Williams set out to sound the
alarm. Imagine her feelings when
she discovered that every single man
on board, from captain to cook, was
so much under the influence of liq
uor as to be unable to comprehend
her words. She doused them with
sea water and pounded them with
belaying pins, but all to no purpose.
The entire lot were stupidly drunk.
Just as the natives had planned for.
It was a perilous situation for the
woman to be placed in. If the na
tives captured the schooner, they
would murder every one of the
crew as a natural sequence, and the
first step toward capturing her had
already been taken. The step she
took showed sound judgment. The
schooner's yawl was down, having
been in almost hourly use. The na
tive Tillage was about 40 rods back
from the beach, and as the schooner
swung to the ebb tide she presented
her broadside to the village. Wher i
the yawl was pulled around to tl.<
port side, she was out of sight. Mrs
Williams' first act was to step the
mast, her next to supply the craft
with provisions and water. There
were an unusual number of lights
burning in the village, showing that
something was on foot, but she had
no fear of an attack until a later
hour. The natives would wait until
certain that all the people were
helpless.
Mrs. Williams had determined t<
slip away from the doomed craft in
the yawl, although she had no expe
rience in the management of a 'smal
boat. After water and provision
she brought up all her money
which was in boxes she could ban
die. Not a penny of it was left be
hind. There were a rifle, revolve:
and double barreled shotgun be
longing to her husband. These t!..
took, together with powder, sho
and fixed ammunition. Then sin- |
gathered up all her bedding and
clothing, took three or" four spar
blankets, two suitg of clothes be
longing to the officers, and whet,
these were in the boat site took pots,
pans, dishes and cutlery and bun :
died up a lot of carpenter's tools, se
cured two axes, a lot of small rope
several pieces of canvas and, in
brief, loaded the yawl with whatev
er was portable and handy, includ
ing, the clock, compass, quadrandj
sextant and a lamp and four gal
Ions of oil. She worked for upward I
of two hours getting these thing- j
into the boat, and the last article- !
taken aboard were meat, flour, j
beans, tea and other provisions from
the lazarette. ? I
It was about 10 o'clock when Mrs.
Williams took her seat in the yawl
and cast off from the schooner, and
the tide at once drifted her out of
the bay to the north. The only
thing of consequence She had for
gotten was a chart of the Java sea.
which she could have put her hand
on at a minute's notice, and it was
the want of this which made her
Crusoe for several years.
As the yawl went to sea after its
own fashion, Mrs. Williams lost the
points of the compass at once. In
deed, had she kept them in mind ii
would have been of no benefit just
then, as she had not studied the
chart and, could not have told which
way to steer to reach another group
or the mainland. She heard noth
ing whatever from the natives, but
several years later it was ascertain
ed that they did not board tin
schooner until midnight. The men.
all of whom were still drunk and
asleep, were stripped and tossed
overboard to drown, and then the
absence of the woman and her mon
ey was discovered. Five or six na
tive craft were at onoe sent in pur
suit, while the people who remained
looted the schooner of everything of
value to them and then towed her
out to deep water and scuttled her
to hide the evidences of their crime.
After drifting three or four miles
out to sea the yawl got a light
breeze, and after a few trials the
woman learned how to manage the
sail and lay a course. She had no
idea which way she was heading, but
ran off before the breeze and kept
going all night and until midafter
noon the next day. She must have
passed the island of Upnong in the
early morning, but so far to the
westward that she could not see it
The wind, hauling at mklforenoon.
altered her course by several poiuts.
and the northernmost island of the
group, named I'oillo, was thus
brought in line. The island is seven
miles long by three in width at its
widest part and well wooded and
j
waicitu.
The woman landed on the east
side at the mouth of a creek which
forms a snug little harbor. She
was convinced that this was one of
the islands of the Kinderoon group,
but she did not know that it was
the most northerly one. By ecu
suiting the compass she got the car
dinal points; but, not having stud
ied the chart, she could not say in
what direction any other land lay.
She had seen the sails of two trad
ers that morning, but as they wen
native craft she had every wish to
avoid them. The boats which were
sent in pursuit of ber must have
taken another course, as she saw
nothing of them.
When Mrs. Williams landed on
the island, she had no idea of stop
ping there for more than a day or
two or until she could decide on
some plan. She had scarcely gone
ashore when a gale came up which
lasted about 30 hours, during which
the yawl was so damaged that she
must undergo repairs. She unload
ed her goods on the shore, covered
them from the weather and then set
out to explore the island, pretty we!!
satisfied that it was inhabited and
hoping, if it was, that her monet
might secure assistance. Before
night she was satisfied that 6he was
all alone, and she made a shelter out
of the blankets and slept the night
iway as peacefully astif in her cabin
an the schooner. Next day she ex
changed her apparel for a man's suit
and l>e(ran the erection of a hut. In
a prove about 200 feet from the
beach she erected a shelter 10 by 20
feet which withstood the storms of
almost four years. While the side
consisted of canvas and ]K>les, the
roof was thatched with a long grass
which she found on the island in
abundance.
It took the woman about a week
to construct her hut and move her
stores into it, and this had scared,
been done when her boat, owing to
carelessness on her part, was carried
off by the sea, and she now realized
that she was a prisoner until su h
time as the crew of some trading
vessel might land- and discover her.
After hei house was completed sin
made a more thorough exploration
of her island home. There wen
parrots and other birds, snakes of i.
harmless variety, Borneo rats and ?
drove of about 300 Java pigs, " hi '
are about the size of the America:
peccary, but are wild instead n
fierce.
The woman had clothing to last
her five or six years, but the provi
sions she had brought from the
schooner would not supply her
needs more than a few months
While hoping and expecting to In
taken off almost any day, she wiseh
prepared for a long stay. She hard
fish hooks and lines in her outfit,
and with fish from the sea, meat
from the woods and bananas and
wild fruits from the groves she had
a variety and a-plenty. Six month
after she landed a native craft pu:
in about a mile from her hut; but.
creeping through the woods, she
saw that all were Malays and so
savage in appearance that she did
not dare make herself known. Soy
en months later a second craft sent
men ashore to fill two water cask-,
but she was also afraid of these
She lived very quietly from thai
time until nearly two years aftei
her landing, having remarkably
good health all the time, but natu
rally lonely and cast down at times.
One afternoon as she was in th<
forest, about half a mile from home,
having her shotgun with her, a Bor
neo sailor suddenly confronted l:cr.
He was entirely alone, and whether
be had been marooned or cast awr.;
she never learned. As she was dress
ed in a man's suit he naturally took
her for a man, but his first move
ment was a hostile one. He ad
vanced upon the woman with a club
in his hand and uttering shouts of
menace, and to save her own life she
was compelled to shoot him.
Now and then, all through her
stay, trading vessels were sighted in
the offing, and sometimes a crafl
known to be manned by English
men, but signals made to the latter
by means of smoke were never heed
ed. Her main hope was that the
loss of the schooner would in some
way reach her friends at Singapore
and that a searching party might he
sent out to her rescue.
One day, when 6he had been 0:1
the island four years lacking about
50 days, the British survey ship Sa
hib, then engaged in resurveviny
the group, dropped anchor off the
mouth of the creek and sent a party
pshore to explore the interior. 1
had the honor not only to head this
party, but to be the first man to
see and to speak to Mrs. William?.
We found her in excellent health,
although tanned and roughened by
exposure to the weather. When she
had donned her own proper apparel
and had time to tidy up, no one
could find fault with her appear
ance.
Alter a lew days we sailed lor
Singapore, where Mrs. Williams was
safely landed, and a few weeks latei
a man-of-war was dispatched to the
island where the schooner had been
seized. Natives were found who
gave all the particulars, and the re
sult was that eight men were
brought aboard, tried, convicted and
swung up at the yardarm, while
three more were shot wliile trying to
escape from the island.
Wordy Coleridge.
Coleridge's verbosity is illustrated
by himself in a letter among the
Blackwood correspondence. While
in the company of his friend and
faithful host, Dr. Gihnan, he had a
fainting fit. His first words on re
covering from it weie: "What a
mystery we are 1 What a problem is
presented in the strange contrast
between the imperishability of our
thoughts and the perishable, fuga
cious nature of our consciousness I"
Then he heard his friend say.
"Thank heaven, it is not apoplexy!"
Conceive a man's pouring out this
stream of words?and Such long
ones?on recovering from a fit!

"Yes, 6ir," the witness replied.

"Well, sir, you may not believe it,
but before I came to this state I

position on the bench for 18 years."
