Nothing of spertal Interest owurted until 1 bad been oa tb laland three month. Then on morning aa I want down to th boat to go on a fishing trip I waa amased to And track of a : woman' bare feet on tbe wet Bands. ' Whoever had vudted our bland In tbe darkness bad com ap out of fb ' depths of the ara. No boat or raft had landed oa tbe shore. Tb footprbits ' wer plain ss a plaster cat. and . we were immediately interested and more or leas excited. 'After thinking the matter over I decided that the woman moat have come from on of t two Islands north and south and de termined to give both a search. I set off to tbe norto and in th coors of an bour made a landing, Tht b Inrul bad an are of not mor thaa flv sere. I went over It carefully, bat ' not living thing did 1 find. It wa noon when I got back t my wn Island, and after dinner I set out to Hearth the ether. Aa this on had : more vegetation I took with an a boy. who wa about flfteen year of bkc and named Whang. It wa near sunset when we pot off after vain search, aad when w reached tb reef surrounding our to-1 land and a half a mil out from the leacb, the evening breeze died out to a flat calm, and we lay like a log- B fore taking to the Oar to scull ua Into the uli. r aat quiet for a mtnoto lis tening to the whispers of th sea. '.Vhsutf lesned over the rail of th boat r.nd watched the shark darting to and fro and leaving trails of fire behind them, and things were so still that I . i.til.l hear tbe ticking of my watch, when there came a strange Interrup tion. It was the voice of a woman la I n Klitt r. and It sounded close by. W iiU si raw up st the sound, won tlcrtug if our ears bad deceived ua, aad t stood listening th sounds cant nxaln. When tbey bad died away tb i oy tnruetl to me and whispered "Muster, let ns get ashore at once! riiere la a witch of the sea clooo by, and she will drag us downP I waited ten minute, and, bearing' nothing more, I picked up the oar and v sculled In to the binding, Thero I round the three Chinamen waiting for me. and tbey wer In a stats of great excitement Tbey had heard the laughter, and they believed-with th boy that a witch of tbe sea was bant ing about and meant to do ua harm I atmply contented myself with aay- -log that we would leav aom pro- ' vision on tb beach that night and aea if they were missing in the morning and with sleeping with one ey open to see that tho frightened fellows did not' steal tbe boat aud make off to om other Island We were down on the beach when daylight came, aad there wer fresh ' tract a again. The woman had circled about tb heap of provisions, bnt had , touched nothing Tb Chinese wer absolutely knocked out with consterna tion, and only my promir to watch toe bench that night and capture or shoot the witch calmed them down. I remained with them all that day to prevent them from plotting, and It waa uot until midnight that' I took up my watch ou the shore. It waa low tide at 3 o'clock. 1 waa concealed behind a heap of brush, and it was a starlight night At that hour a figure which looked Uke a human being came out of the gentle surf and began to walk up and down th beach. As tt walked away from mo I res up and went forward on tiptoe and waa within thirty feet of It when It caught the alarm and fled back to the water like a shadow, t heard an exclamation of alarm and splashes In the water, and saw the wake as the "tt" a warn away. I bad meant to keep cool, but the sight of the figure excited me, and ' Its escape when I figured on capture added to It and so, hardly knowing ; what 1 did, I drew one of my revolv- era and began firing aa the awimmer moved away. I fired six shots, but I heard no cry of pain or other sound. I went back to the Chinamen and' found them chattering m terror, and If they bad not been afraid, of the witch they would have made a rush for th boat and left me alone on tbe Island. I aat watching them till daylight came, and then we ail went down to tba beach. Th tide was coming to, bun; w found tracks as before. While wa were harrying? about arguing and dis cussing, the tide brought in tb naked limb and foot of a woman, a whlU wo man. It had been torn from tb body by tbe sharks, and It' waa tb foot whkh had made the track la th ssdb On of my shot had struck aad fctfad her as she awam away, aad .tb. od bad brought tba aavag sharks to to attack.
