A heart for anything.

t MAROONED ON
AN ISLAND.
BY M. QVAP.
Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.
14 I I ! t
If yon had a chart before you, you
would see that Wakes island Is a bit
of a dot In the Pacific ocean, lying a
little south of the regular sailing route
between Honolulu and Yokohama.
Ijfow and then it is sighted by steamer
or sailing vessel making the' passage,
but the great majority pass it by 200
miles to the north. The traders call
there occasionally for water or fuel,.
tut as there are no inhabitants there
can be no trade. It is an island three
miles long by one and a half broad,
and It was thrown to the surface by an
earthquake. There is but one spot
where a landing can be made even In
the calmest weather, as Its shores are
rocky and rise to a height of from 30
to 100 feet. Much of tbe island Is
wooded, and bowlders lie about every
where, and it ls;probably one of the
loneliest spots In the universe. For
some reason which no one can explain
no birds are ever found there, nor is
there any animal life. The only living
things are land crabs, and they are of
Buch size and fierceness that traders
have had to flee before them.
In the year 1S61 the bark Restless
sailed out of San Francisco on a voy
age to Japan and China. She bad Just
been purchased by a man named Rob
ert Westall, who was little known, but
had suddenly made a lot of money, and
the cargo was also mostly his. He
went with his ship, and a fate" befell
him which reads stranger than fiction
of the sea. He was a landsman, know
ing nothing of ships and sailors, and it
transpired that the captain he selected
was a thoroughly bad 'man, while the
mate was little better. It was proba
bly the captain's idea from the outset
to get possession of the ship, but West
all's suspicions were not aroused until
after they had called at Honolulu and
resumed the voyage. Then he over
heard observations among the crew
which alarmed him, and he went to
the captain with his statements. He
was told without any beating around
the bush that tbe bark was to change
Lands. He was to be marooned on
Wakes island, and she was to pursue
her voyage as captain and crew decid
ed. ' It was 'one man against' 15, and
of course he was helpless. Neither
threats nor promises had the slightest
effect, and when he stormed be was
cautioned to hold his temper, or he
would be set afloat in a small boat to
perish of thirst and starvation. When
the. island was finally reached. West
all was ordered into a boat to be rowed
ashore. Not a pound of provisions or
an extra article of clothing was to go
with him. He was not even to have
the means of kindling a fire. Rendered
desperate by the situation, he made a
fight for it, but was soon knocked
senseless by the blow of a capstan bar,
and while in that condition was rowed
ashore and dumped on the beach. When
he recovered consciousness, the Rest
less was sailing away and was already
miles distant.
Jules Verne has told how a sailor
cast away on a desert island almost
naked managed to live almost luxu
riously and provide for his every want
The difference between imagination
and reality was exemplified in West
all's case. He tried for days and days
to produce fire by rubbing dry sticks
together, but he never Succeeded. .He
constructed, a hut in the woods, but his
food consisted of shellfish, roots and
wild fruits, and there was no way to
replace his clothing. He soon found
fresh water, and he also made the dis
covery that the spot seemed accursed
of all living things except the land
crabs. As a rule these loathsome crea
tures did not bother him during day
light, but as soon as the sun went
jdown they swarmed over the whole
island. They were gigantic in Bize,
and his only way of escaping them
'was to climb a tree. He built a plat
form among the limbs ten feet from
xhe earth, and every' night during his
long stay be resorted to it 'About once
a month, generally at . midday, the
crabs would swarm by the million and
hold possession of the Island for two
or three hours. At such times the
noise made by their claws as they
passed over rock and soil was almost
deafening and gave him a great scare.
While the man speedily recovered from
the -blow on the head given him on
shipboard, his lonely situation soon
began to tell on his mind. One day,
at the end of three months, be found
that he had forgotten his own name.
It was two hours before It came to
him, and then, fearful that It might
go out of his mind for good, be carved
pis initials on the bark of a tree with
a sharp stone. After making the cir
cuit of tbe island three or four times
he settled down near the landing place,
and every day for weeks and months
and years he hoped that some trader
would put In or some ship send in her
boat. Traders did call on three or four
occasions, but be missed tfcoui. Once
he was asleep In the tree top; again
he was ill. On a third occasion the
crabs were out In such numbers that
the trader grew afraid and put off as
soon as he had touched.
You will wonder how a man could
have lived for a month as Westall lived
for three years. For eight months
there .was a species of wild fruit some
thing like a plum. Now and then a
fish was left by the tide for him to cap
tare,, but he had to eat them raw.
There tvere oysters and mussels and
limpets clinging to the rocks, but after
awhile he could hardly force himself
to swallow them. In six months his
boots were gone and his clothing was in
tatters, and as the days dragged away
the man had it on his mind that his
memory was falling him. When a
year had gone by, he could no longer
recall his Identity. The initials on the
tree stood tor a dozen different names
vJ: months later he was little
better than a wild beast During his
second year, had he thought to erect
some sort of signal at. the landing
place some such signal as a sailor
would have made-he would probably
bare been rescued, as two or three
traders came In for water, but he did
not even heap, up stones or set up a
bush to attract attention. He had ex
isted on the island three years and
two -weeks when the American whal
ing ship Jonathan touched there for
water. I wag in the boat first sent
ashore,- and while waiting for the wa
ter casks to arrive I followed a path
up Into the woods and discovered West
all asleep on his platform. I believed
him at first to be some monster gorilla.

and he was without clothing. As he
came tumbling down I ran away and
gave the alarm. That frightened him,
and seven men of us. spent half a day
in his capture. He fought us with the
greatest ferocity, and for a long time
we could not make out his nationality.
He chattered a queer Jargon or sulked,
and we had put In at a Japanese port
before we could keep clothing on him.
I was one of the apprentice boys on
the ship, and, as the wild man had
taken a great liking to me and I seem
ed to be the only one who could control
him, the American consul advised that
I be left behind with the man while the
ship made a three months' circuit
Quarters were provided for us, and I
was Instructed how to go to work in an
effort to restore the poor fellow's mem
ory. By this time he had let fall
enough to satisfy us that he was either
English or American. We had also
connected him in a way with the miss
ing ship Restless. She had been re
ported as leaving Honolulu, but that
was the last of her. I put up a black
board and turned schoolmaster. - I
chalked down the letters of the alpha
bet made figures, drew pictures and
tried to start his memory to work. For
a month I had no luck. The man's
mind was as blank as night He tried
bard enough, and he used to break
down and weep almost daily, but he
could not get hold of the end of the
string. I had about given up all hope
when one day as I was going through
the usual performance memory came
back to him like a flash. He suddenly
uttered a shout and sprang to his feet
and as I turned on him it was to find a
new look on his face and to bear him
shout:
"It has come! It has come! My
name is Robert Westall. and I can re
member everything!"
So it turned out but the shock of re
covery brought about an illness that
confined him to his bed for weeks.
When he could relate his story, the
consul went to work to End out what
had become of the Restless. Inquiries
were made at all the ports of China
: jl!!ec
and Japan, but uo news was obtained,
The search was still being prosecuted
when a sandalwood trader from one of
the Philippines brought the consul
some wreckage picked up three years
agone which proved that tbe bark had
gone to the bottom in a gale encoun
tered soon after sailing away from
Wakes Island. To this day there have
been no tidings' to alter this belief.
The wrgtehes who so coolly and de
liberately planned the death of the
shipowner by starvation did not live
beyond a few days to enjoy their tri
umph. The three years spent on tbe
island made an old man of Westall be
fore his time, and he never was clar
beaded again, but he lived for 15 years
after and .managed to get together

A Good Snake Story.
The latest, authentic unake story la
from North Glen wood Farm, near
Easton one of the country places In
Talbot county. Md. The other day a
big black snake was seen emerging
from an Ice pond. It was killed. A
protuberance was noticed about the
middle. The snake was cTiopped In
two, and a porcelain turkey" nest egg
rolled out. Captain Noble Robinson
was tenant on the farm last year. Mrs.
Robinson raised turkeys, using china
eggs In their nests. She says that 14
months ago she missed the nest egg
from a nest near the Ice pond. She
supposed a boy who had the range of
the meadow had taken it When the
egg from the snake was shown to Mrs.
Robinson, she Identified it as one she
had lost by a certain incised mark
upon It The snake had carried the
china egg 14 months In his vermiform
appendix, apparently without appendi
citis. But he must have thought very
hard of it and that It was very singular
that it could not be digested.

then pounced on him, but he was too
quick for them and before they could
overpower him Sondheim sent a bullet
Into his brain. It is believed thatl

Br Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Baltimore. D. c. 8 The extensive
stores and stock of the Baltimore Bar
gain House, 212 to 220 West Baltimore
street, were totally destroyed by fire
this morning, and the stock and
building of Grotjan, '; Lobe & Co.,
which adjoins it, were considerably
damaged. The fire - was discovered
shortly after 3 o'clock in the morning
and burned fiercely all the balance of
the night and far into the morning,
completely obstructing traffic in the
busiest part of the city during the
early morning hours. Several fire
men made narrow escapes from death,
but none was seriously injured.
The Baltimore Bargain House, of
which Mr. David Epstein is the head,
is one of the largest concerns of the
kind in the South and had 8 large
holiday stock on hand. Mr. Epstein
is as yet unable to give an accurate
estimate of the loss on stock, but
roughly places it at $150,000. Grotjan,
Lobe & Company estimate their loss
at $5,000, while the loss on the build
ings will probably swell the total to
$300,000, all being fully covered by
insurance.
A Miraculous Escaps.
Fireman John Flynn had a miracu
lous escape from being killed. He fell
five stories from therearof the western
section of the series of buildincs in
cluded in the Baltimore Bargain House.
Flynn was on the roof of the building
when, overcome by smoke, he lost
his balance. His companions who saw
him topple backward and fall felt sure
that every bone in his bodv would be
broken. In his fall the fireman
struck three different times on a z'ur
g arrangement of rain spouts: each
section that he struck gave way, but
each broke the momentum of.his fall.
As he struck the piece of rain spout
nearest the ground his fireman's hel
met of alumnium fell off and beneath
him. He struck upon the' helmet
mashing it as flat as a piece of paste
board. When his companions picked
him up he was unconscious, but re
vived shortly when it was discovered
that the only injuries he had received
were a number of bruises on his shoul
ders and a broken ankle.

. ,
i Little Consideration Given In England to
i Cable Dispatches Dealing With Prcb
.,' able Actios of the Senate.
By Cable to the hornina Star. v .
I LONDDU'December 8. The Nicr
gua Canal creates only mild iuurest
in England. The long cable dispatches
dealing with the'probabl action of the
United States Senate and its delibera
tions are read by the general public
with comparatively little-interest, and
less understanding. The report that
the British government has in any
way indicated its willingness to ac
cept the amended treaty is utterly
false. In fact, the indications, such
as they are, point to Great Bri
tain refusing to consider any
amendment to what the Foreign Of
fice already believes to be a generous
concession. To quote a high
authority. "We would not haye ab
rogated the Clayton-Bulwer treaty for
any other nation in the world. Unless
all the traditions of British foreign
policy are reversed I fail to see how
we can afford to give away any more
advantages, even to America."
No official representation or inqui
ries have yet been made to the Foreign
Office, where it is pointed out that it
is impossible to form any final judg
ment until the Senate acts. That war,
or even a serious misunderstanding,
could ever result from such a cause
receives no official or public credence.
