Devereanx, whose years of service in "Wleist Indian .waters, ; espe cially, have made him a mine of "copy" that would delight any newspaper man. Yesterday he spun a number of yarns that excited the credulity of his four or five hearers, but before he .finished, their fears of "fish stories' were re lieved. The captain has, a block of ma- "hogany taken from the .first, church built in the New World. It came from San Domingo, where : the patron , saint of all good United States men, Colum bus, first touched the great . continent whose vastness he never realized. At San Domingo, Columbus built fortifica tions and td this day there are. traces of his presence. From the churchyard of the church mentioned, iCapt. Dever eaux unearthed a bronze-buckle, on which is embossed; the battle axe and helmet of the Spahisbisia1diersswho first visited the New. "'World.' The bronze is o a icharacterr unknown to metal exper of today,, "being: superior to anything kbwn to moderns. Chief among the captain's stories, however, was the tale: about the : 'Columbus Tree." At San Domingo there stands, within 20 . feet- of thewater, a hoary trunk as much as 15 feet in diameter at a distance of 15 feet 'from the ground. Tradition says that Columbus tied his ship up to this tree. The land lubber guests of Capt. Devereaux howl edwith oended-double glee arid laugh ter held, both his sides and then some, at the idea : but the' ship's master was Im earnest, He had a "piece of the very tree, and ' after . ne naa (expiainea a;i about the tradition and the size of the tree, evidently the growth, of centuries, and protected, by the. government most jealously; his landlubbers gravely ac cepted the ; assertion " that the , tree isi really the Santa- Maria tree, of tne genus calaba. Returning to the subject of this new steamship passenger: service its im: oortance should be at once realized, by the port and . all , that: country which "furnishes traffic for steamer, lines out 6f Wilmington The; service has been provided; if it. is used; it will not only be continued, but increased -and 'im proved..
