Off what Ii known a North wet cape, on tho naptern nido of Auitralla, are group of (even lalanda.

In the year 1673 I wa one of the boat H.H ri r In the lucky old whaliwhlp Lily Smith of New Ilitlford, und after a ortilfte of 11 month without a mini uti-pplng foot u-lmro wo were U iirliig up (or LiKhthouae 1-lniid to renew our wmid and water and bid tho enrth unili r our fuet onoo more. Wo reached n jKiInt within about four mile of the Ulutid Jut at aundown one night when thu wind fulled ii, and after the rlil) hud drifted lu fornnuthur mile on thu tidu wu cnuio to anchor In eeron fath om nnd made all pnuii. A tbo woatber wn llnu only nn anchor wutoh wa kept, nnd all went well until about midnight. Then moiiiu ono w im discovered paddling around tho nhli on a muill mft, and an uhiriii wn rulM-d that turned out all li'inils. Some of tho men InaUted that It wniin negro, but with their nlghtgluHMet to aid them thu olluvro wcru quite a oer tnin that It wn a woman In a half nude Htutu. They suld phc had long hair, liar. row chouldcr and handled hur paddle with ii certain aw kwiiriliit never aeon In a limn. In n geiiend way wo know that the l-lnnd wu not inhabited, though probuhly vlHltid ut Intcrvul by native from thu other Island and by shell gatb cr. r mid llphernu n. Tho ieron on the ruft tuny have Utii m ut out to py on in previous to an ul tack, or may havo been soiiiii Imiu liiiliviihinl Impiilud solely by ciirlolty. U hoever It wa ho disappeared un noun n an alarm wa raised, and we heard nothlnit more during tho night Next morning, a soon u breukfust bad lieen i'ri'.l. uo of u wwiit nr.horu with the uxiui und water casks, nnd, for feur we iiili:rt imvt with adventure, four of the men with armed with musket. Aa we lamb! on thu sandy beach of a llttlo covo wu sawn siiiull and (tieerly constructed ruft pulled tip on tho sands, and leading unay from It wcro tho track of human f.i t. it mi di d but a ghinco to how that they wcru the footprints of a woman, and a wo noticed tho construction of tbo raft thu ilullct sailor could llguru that no man ever put It together. Wo fult certain that thero wa a w oman on tho Islnud, and a t-ho hud pulled off to tho ship iilono It might bo Inferred that sho wn solitary and nlonu iiuild tho true. There wa a well dclliied path luudlng f nun the beach Into the vvkhIs, and a wu wore In search of water a part of n took this path while the other licgun felling tree. At ubout "it rod from tbo lumen wo caino upon a llnu spring f mm which wo could 1111 our rasks, and for aevorul hour, or until the captain enmo ashoru, no onu penetrated further. After dinner, being satUlled that thu woman wu uluuo on tho Island, and her fulluru tocomo near ua being proof that sho wn not In her right mind or wn kouiu nntlvu fcinnlu who fcurcd us, alx men were (U tailed to go In ccarch of bur. A few rod from tho spring, where tho forest wn luoro open, wo camo uHn a rude hut with a smoldering 11 ro at the doer. The hut wu tnndo of stick, stone, shell mid mud. Tho stick had been bmken olT l- hand, and tho shelter wu a faliiy good one against any sort of weath er. In the Interior wo found a bed of dry grasH, ghulls w hich wore used for cooking utensils, and what might bo called the re mains tJ a lady' hat, dres, cloak and a pair of shoe. All these things wcru old and rugged mid ready to full to pieces, but they proved beyond adoubt that thu wom an wa a white woman. Wo argued that they further pruved that sho hud reached thu Island from somo wreck. It thu loneli ness of her situation and tho hardships to w hich sho hnd been exposed hnd not ntTcct ed her mind, shit would have appcurcd be fore u n soon as wu hnd lnndcd. Wo be gun our search for her by calling aloud, telling who wo wero and asking her to como forward, but there wa no response. Wo then separated a distance of a few feet and swept ucrosa thu Island. Wu found many place where stiu hiul broken off bruu'ehee unit gathered wild fruit, and on the other bcuch w o found her track In tho sand, but nothing could bo teen of tho woman herself. A our stay at tho Island would be for three or four day, tho captain ordered that bedding and provisions bo placed in thu iikimloiH'.l hut for use of tho woman, nnd that wu should uiiiku no further hunt for her. A letter wn written nnd placed with tho things, giving her tho name of the ship hnd wiving we wcru friends, and then wo went about our ow n work. At night w o nil went on board ship, nnd next morning it was ascertained that tho wom an had spent the night in her hut. She had made a bed im the blanket nnd eaten of the provipiotis, but she had torn tho let ter Into live piece and that probably with nut reading It. Wo were sallsllcd, how ever, n she must reason that we meant her no harm, and wu hoped to get sight of her by tho time wu were ready to depart. Wo heard nothing of her on' tho second day, nor tho next, but sho occupied her hut nguin and ate heartily of tho provi sions. We led other letters fur her, but ahe tore each up. On tho fourth day, aa we had iiulto llnlshcd, It was determined to run the woman down and discover who he wa. To make ipcvdy and thorough Job of thU everybody bot tbe cook waj Unded-aorae 45 wen Id alL We atretthed out acroae the head of tbe Ulund In aklr mlah Una and then awept down It length and back again, and ! wa on tbo return that we atarted ber out of a thick buiJi. Wo could not got a fnlr eight of her undur the tree, but wa roado out that sbu had on a aort of Jacket of aullclcth und waa bareheaded and Urcfooted. I'pon being driven out of hur cover aho ran like a door and wa eoon out of sight, wo had spent about an hour in looking for her trail when tho lone man left alxinrd tho ship (red musket and rang tho boll and caused o to hasten down to tho bunch. Onco clear of tho troce we easily discovered what bad happened. The wild woman had flnnkod ua and reached the buach nnd put off In one of our whaluboat. Hho wa al ready half a mile away, using nn oar for a paddlo, and aa aoon a alio mw ua In pur suit ahe redoubled her niertlon. A boat waa manned and aent off in pursuit, nnd -I l - ll'.. nn.-llv Jill. P. a cunoua ennsu ii w ii". " " ..i"..; hauled the woman, but a we did so she sprang overboard and awnin away, and by diving and dodging she evaded ua for a qnartor ( an hour. What may be act down aa a lingular circumstance win that the water about the Island simply swarm ed with ahark, and at times there wero a dozen about ber nnd yut none of tho mon ster seemed Inclined to do her burin. Nobody could make out justw hut sort of a woman It wu until onu of tho men Anally caught ber by thi hnlr and pulled her Into tho boat, .''he fought him with savngo ferocity, biting one of hi linger to thu bout, and wo hnd to tlo ber hnnd and foot to keep her. She npis'iirod to be a wmiiuu of about 40, nnd though her faco waa roughened and browned by exposure we fult sure thnt sho wn Kngllsh or American. Shu had nimlo her a pea jacket from a piece of sail cloth, using a thorn for a ncedlo and grns for thread, but bad boon without h until her feet wero In bad condition. During tho chase shu had not uttered a work, hut when hauhnl into the boat she cried out In good English, "I will fight for my life 1 will never go away!" We took her aboard tho ship, and tbe captain talked to her In a gentle way and tried to satisfy her that wo wcro friends. Whun alio grew quiet, ho enst off her bonds, but aa soon a sho wb free alio attacked him so flercely that ho bad to cull for help. She wu then locked in n state room, her thing In the hut sent for, and we sailed away on our cruise. Thero wa not an hour during tho noxt two weeks In which tho captain did not wish ho had left tho woman on her Island. For threo day sho refused food nnd wnter. When com pelled by hunger and thirst, sho partook sparingly and was sulky and ohstlnute. Now and thun her moods wcru savage, and sometime at night sho would scream out like a wild bcust. A wo did not Intend to mako port for several months tho Idea wn to transfer her to oino other craft. Wo spoko half a dozen In succession, but not ono of them would receive her. From ono. howevor, where tho cnptnln hnd hi wife abonrd, an outllt wu procured, nnd no sooner wu It handed over to tho wom an than a great change took place In her. She quieted down, dressed herself from head to heel nnd siK'ht a wholu day In brushing and combing her hair. Ono morning she electrified tho steward by aylng sho would cat breukfust 111 tho cabin, nnd w hen shu ivnlki d out nubody could credit tho change. Sho wn now a fairly good looking w oman, mild eyed und shy, und her volco was low nnd gentle. A sho entered tho cabin sho looked about her In a wondering way and queried of the captain : "Sir, will you please tell mo how I camo aboard of this ship mid wiuit hn hecomol or my own wardrobe!1 When It wn explained to her that sho hnd been taken from light housu island, where shu hud been living fi r months or years, ber astonishment wn beyond uttcr- anco. Sho hnd woko up that morning to llnd horsclf In a strange IxTth. She hnd no recollection of the Island or her cup- tu re. Sho hnd found thu musty garment wo brought from tho hut, nnd hnd nn In distinct recollection thnt they had once been worn by her, but the past hud gone from her memory n If there had hivu no past. Thero huvu boon other case like it, and thoy havo been written of ut length, and so thero 1 nothing singular In that part of my story. As a matter of fact the woman oonld not tell her own niinio could not tell whether shu was married or single, where sho hulled from or how sho enmo to be on tho Island. Shu dated lifu from the hour sho woko up nnd heard tho stuward knocking on her ihsir. Tho cap tain first set to work to judgo how long sho hnd boun on tho Island and finally set tho time a a year nnd n half.

Also being a 'green horn' among strangers, the boys teased him considerably. But the Impression be ing so strong on bis mind, bis mental faculties soon became deranged. Nothing has been done so far, except to put him under a special guard who watohes him day and night. From what information I can get he will probably be examined In a day or two, and discharged."
