Tb Talawaa Islands, ta th China
ar. ara to th north pt Borneo od
form part of the rhlllppln group.
Tbey atreUrh out for a dlsUaco of TOO
mile and number nearly tbooaand.
la tbe year 18S2 I was landed oa one
of th Palawan from a Singapore
tmder to get ap and run a copra
planL I had with m four Chinese,
sod th trader landed provtalooe for a
year.
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. Thero lay tb Bmb before aa.
with th hash bard ud firm, though
showing a brute ber and there. But
no other part of tbe body came ashore.
To whom the Umb had belonged, how
ahp bad been cast away there, wber
ah waa hiding, why aha dht hot eok
our protection none of these ques
tions can I answer. W buried th
