sent to her by an Indlhn prince, lie
traveled as a deck passenger on one
of the Indian mail steamers from Bom

Any group of four or more players
can have great fun in the woods or
where there are tall grass and other
objects to hide behind. First, two lead
ers ate chosen, by any of the usual
counting out methiHls, and these two
leaders choose sides. Then .there is a
toss-up to see which side Is “k” first.
Tlje players on tills side all hide their
eyes and count together out loud up to
say. 300. Meanwhile the players on
the other side hasten away in a group
mid hide as completely as possible.
Thea tlie search begins. When any
one of the. hunting party discovers the
hiding group, a great shout or a war
whoop is raised, and that side then lias
to count while tlie other side hides. It
should be agreed that qertaln limits or
Iwgitidarlesare not to be crossed. Where
the woods Tire thick, or where there is
plenty of underbrush, the s|>ort Is fine.

THE PACIFIC
The Nam Sang, arrived here from
Hong Kong, picked up three emaciated
Chinese coolies’on a bamboo raft. The
men, who are very thin, say that about
a month ago they sailed from Singa
pore iu a Junk, the persons on the craft
numbering eight all told.
Everything went well till tfielr voy
age had been a week In progress, and
then one morning a terrible storm
arose and their vessel was whirled be-’
fore. It like a cork.
After driving before the gale for
some hours the Junk suddenly went to
I'leces on a small Island and with good
luck they all managed to get ashore,
though they were severely bruised and
battered in the surf. ■
For two weeks- the eight men remain
ed on the island, eating shellfish and
drinking water caught ’in. the crevices
of rocks. As no sail hove in sight,
three of the moat daring decided tv>
build a craft and put to sea In the hope
of drifting into the track of steamers.
With the aid of their, comrades the
three*adventurers built a raft out of
giant txanboos, which grew in profu-
sion on the Island, and with a stock of
dried fish and a little water put to sea
one day amid the farewell shouts of
their less daring comrades.
For six days the buoyant bamboo
raft drifted steadily away from the isl
and without a single sail appearing on
tlie horizon, and as their stock of food
and water was gone the men prepared
to die.
On the evening of the sixth day, how»
ever, smoke was seen on the horizon
and then the hull of II steamer came
