A SEA TRAGEDY.
The Startling Btory of the Amerloaa
Barkentlne Herbert Fuller.
The sea has ever been a favorable scene
with romancers for desperate conspira
cies and tragic crimes. This has been
due to the seclusion which it offers
and also, perhaps, to the traditions of
piracy which hang about it. There was
a time when the line of demarcation
between the pirate and the peaceful
mariner was not very sharply drawn,
and the late Prentice Mulford, who
grew up in a seafaring town and had
even, served on shipboard before the
mast, once wrote an article maintain
ing that the relations which still pre
vail between, the master and the crew
of a ship are a relic of the days when
all seafaring men were practically pi
rates. Possibly a juster explanation
of the harsh treatment to which sailors
are subjected would be found in the
arbitrary authority which law and cus
tom necessarily bestow upon a shipmas
ter, for it is almost an axiom that un
restricted power always leads to tyran
nythat nothing but lack of author
ity prevents every man from misusing
it. At all events, the reader of a sea
novel expects to meet with various
sorts of mysteriously dark deeds, while
the reader of the marine columns of
a newspaper is regaled with plenty of
actual crime, albeit of a irenerallv com.
monplace and uninteresting character.
,The story of the American barkem
tine Herbert Fuller, which the newspa
pers have been recently telling, however,
is as tragically startling as any ever
related by Stevenson or Eussell. The
officers of a vessel have often enough
been murdered by the crew, who then
seized the vessel, and it has sometimes
happened that some officer has joined
the crew in mutinying against the cap
tain, as in the case of the Bounty. What
adds especially to the sensational fea
tures of the crime on board the Herbert
Fuller is that it does not seem to he
known positively who killed the cap
tain, his wife and the second mate.
mi .1 ...
.me evidence ugainst the first mate
appears to rest on his supposed un
.......moo uu uiukc port, arter tne ai
covery of the murders. He is even sus
pected of having intended to turn the
vessel over to the Cuban insurgents.
What most have been the astonishment
of the pilot on going on board to find
tne vessel in charge of the colored
steward and a Harvard sophomore pas'
senger, the mate in irons, and the bodies
o., me tnree murdered persons towing
oouciu m me small boat I That last
touch is characteristic. The survivors
aid not dare throw the tKQies overboard
because they were needed as evidence
to protect themselves as well as to con-
vic l-ne ffwmy; VJieir a.qxsretHou no
tions were appalled at the notion of
Keeping the bodies on board the ves
sel; bo they compromised by towing
unaouDtecuy the Herbert Fuller
tragedy will form the plot of many a
iu,i.ure sea novel, iiut no romancer
could have afforded to invent so extraor-
ciinary a tale. He would have W.n
laughed at on account of the inherent
improbability of his incidents. The
murders might have passed muster, but
the Harvard student and the colored
steward In their extraordinary role
would ha-e been pronounced simply

TUESDAY, MARCH
SPITZBERGEN.
An English Explorer Penetrate the Ia
terlor of the Island.
A dispatch from Tromsoe, Swedenv
says that the expedition organized in
England by' Sir W. Martin Conway for
the exploration of the interior of Spits
bergen crossed the islands from west to
east and back from east to west in the
middle of July. The crossing was ex
tremely difficult owing to the preva
lence of storms, fogs and floods. This
is the first crossing of Spitsbergen, oa
record.
Sir William Martin Conway, who, it
is reported in, the above dispatch, haa
succeeded ia crossing the icy wastes of
Spitzbergen, set out on his daring jour
ney, from London early in June. His
purpose was to explore the interior of
the islands. He sailed from Tromsoe.
. in Sweden, in company with his nephew,
Mr. irevor Uattye, and four other per
sons. The expedition was provided with
Norwegian ponies, sledges, tents and
other supplies. They reached Spitzber
gen in safety, as letters received in Lon
don a few weeks ago testified. It now
seems, if the above report is true, that
they have succeeded in accomplishing
their purpose, and it may be hoped will
soon be ready to turn homeward again.
Spitzbergen is not one island, but a
group of islands, lying in the Arctic
sea about 400 miles north of Norway.
The three largest members of the croup
are West Spitzbergen, Northeast Land
and Stans I"greland. By far the largest
and more important of these is West
Spitzbergen, with an area of 15,260
square miles. The entire region is ice
bound, and there are splendid glaciers
and several sharp peaks almost a mile
in height, whence the German name
Spitz(needle like) Bergen (mountain)
comes. The eastern shores are usually
very difficult of access owing to their
being swept by a cold arctic current
from the north, but the Gulf Stream
tempers the climate on the west aide of
the group. For this reason nearly all
attempts at exploration have heretofore
been confined to the east.
According to reports previously re
ceived, Sir W. Martin Conway may add
mucn mat is new to our knowledge con
cerning this land no vegetation
flourishes in Spitzbergen but a polar
willow -and a couple of berry bushes,
barring, of course, several species of
mosses and lichens. Reindeer, polar
bears, arctic foxes and vast swarms of
sea fowl, such as gulls, eider duck and
wild geese, are the chief nn.imnl in.
habitants on the islands, though arctic
explorers and whale hunters frequently
visit the land. Earlier, whales and seals
were very, abundant in these waters,
but, on account of wholesale depreda
tion by the hunters, they have been al
most exterminated. The islands are
laid to have been discovered aa early aa
133.1.
Sir William Martin Conwav is an ex
plorer of wide experience. He won his
spurs in the Himalayas. In 1894 he con
ducted important explorations among
the mountain summit of India, and by
reason of his discoveries he was
knighted by the late liberal govern
ment. He has also done much climbing
in the Alps, and a few months ago pub
lihed a book called "The Alps from
End to End," which described his jour
neys among the high peak, pause and
Ice fields of Switzerland. Sir William
Martin Conway was ot one time pro
fesHor of arts in, University College, at
Liverpool, and he cliniba and explorea
because he enjoys it. Detroit Free

rays, ne declared ten years ago that
he had a bullet in his head which he
had fired into it in trying to commit
suicide, lie complained of the pain
and, as he attacked his keepers and the
doctors could find no trace of a wtmnd,
was locked up as a danccrous lunatic.
The Boentgen rays have now shown the
exact place of the bullet.
Japanese coal is to be placed upon
the California market in competition
with the standard grades that have been
used there for years. Three large
steamers are loading coal at Kobe for
San Irancisco, and two more steamers
are under charter to carry similar car
goes lor the same destination within
the next 30 days. The bulk of the coal
confcumcd in California now comes
from Puget Sound and British Colum
bia mines, while a big ahare is supplied
Dy Australia.
The production of coal in India is
steadily increasing. In 1885 there wore
mined 1,295,000 tona, while last year the
ngurea were increased to 3,167,000 tons,
ine iiengol collieries are responsible
ior about 2,500,000 of the total. Much
attention has also been paid of late
years to the discovery of mineral oil
wells, but the success attained has not
been very encourngiug so far, though
some 36,000 gallons of oil were obtained
from the Digboi field in 1895. The bor
lug at Sukkur has failed to reach an oil
bed, though it has been carried to a
depth of 1,500 feet, and is to beeunk 200
icet further before being abandoned.

I have been told that I came into this
world with a grin on my piuk face. In

predict that I would have a short life.
My conduct during my first couple of
years showed that I hod mado up my
mind to make it a merry one. The
reputation for good nature which I
have bod from my earliest childhood
has proved my greatest affliction. The
popularity which I enjoyed a a baby
