STRATEGY AND SPIRITS-
How an American Skipper Out
witted Six Spanish Pirates.
New YoRK,August 30. Captain
Thompson, of the schooner Tran
sit, which was recently captured
off the Mexican coast bv Spanish
pirates, who in turn were made
prisoners by the crew, gives the
following details of his experience:
The Transit reached the harbor of
Cape Gnicias-a-Dio?, and dropped
anchor about three miles Ircin
the town. The work of calking
the schooner had to be done by
canoes, owing to the shallowness
of the harbor. On the morning of
tho 28th a canoe was seen ap
proaching the Transit. This was
supposed to be one of the small
cargo-boats, and it was allowed to
come alongside. Suddenly six
villainous-looking Spaniards, with
guns, sprang upon the deck. Cap
tain Thompson and his three
men were immediately overpower
ed and bound by the attacking
party. The town was too far off
for the inhabitants to have ob
served the signal of distress had
the crew been in a condition to
make them. The pirates entered
the cabin, and proceeded to sample
the stores of the schooner. The
liquors received their special at
tention. They were soon in good
humor, and Captain Thompson
thought of a stratagem by which
he might regain his vessel. lie
told the pirates that he resigned
cheerfully; that he and his men
knew how to manage the vessel,
while the Spaniards could not
even take her over the bar. lie
and crew were willing to join the
party and become freebooters;
they would do the work, while
their captors enjoyed themselver.
This plan suited the pirates, and
the crew were unbound and were
soon at work.
The schooner's anchor was
heaved up and sail was .set. Cap
tain Thompson headed her toward
the bar and the pirates resumed
their attack upon the spirits.
Having laid aside their guns, they
were beginning to enjoy what
they cpnsidered a spledid cruise,
when the captain gave the signal
to his men, who sprang upon the
Spaniards, and after a struggle
succeeded in overpowering them.
The Spaniards were bound and
thrown down into the hold among
the cargo. Captain Thompson
M-as unwilling to trust his prison
ers with the authorities at Cape
Gracias-a-Dios, as the chances
were they would be set at liberty.
The nearest American ccnsul was
at Blewficld, 2S0 miles down the
Mosquito coast. The captain at
once set sail for this port, which
lie reached safely a few days after
wards and handed over the pirates
to the American consul there.
The Great Wild Fire.
i. .:n i : -ii , !
ji win uu iinpossioic io give
anything like a correct estimate of
the damage being done by the
wild fire in the timber this side of
the mountains. Farmers are
obliged to stay close by to watch
their homes and be ready to save
what they can if necessity presents
itself. There is no doubt but that
the reports are in many instances,
greatly exaggerated, yet the loss
will be immense. In Clackamas
county, E. C. Hackelt's house,
granary, with all his crops, all his
.furniture, and ever) building ex
cept the barn, were consumed.
Fire had been set to burn a stump,
and it got away.' A threshing
crew at Depty Sheriff Fiank
Gapp's place on Clackamas river,
managed to whip out the fire six
feet from his granary which con
tained 1,200 bushels of grain.
Had they failed here he would
have lost all his buildings. Barns'
stables, on the Barnes' road, were
burned with "20 tons of ha, bug
gies and wagons. Fire at Scap
poose is raging violently Parlies
on the O "Shea's place on the
Barne's ferry road, fought fit e for
two days and saved the house.
Two families on the Taylor ferry
road were burned out of anew
house, and women with children
are sitting by the roadside. In
Vancouver barracks the fiio de
stroyed a oart of the target range,
and the soldiers had hard work to
save the building. Standard, lsf.
Logging in Michigan
The following is an account of
what is done on Ryersen, Hills &
Co.'s road in Michigan, as told by
the Newaygo Tribune:
"On arriving at the lake we
found a second train of 10 flat
cars, loaded with logs, and ready
for the engine, which was at once
attached, and leaving its empty
train to be loaded, steamed off to
tlic river, making the round trip
in 30 minutes, on an average. As
soon as the track was clear the
empty cars were pushed alongside
the skid way upon which the logs
are placed, consisting of a plat
form of the requisite height, from
one end of which extends an ap
proach, up which the logs are
hauled from the lake by means of
an endless chain propelled by a
stationary engine at the opposite
end of the logway. . Two men are
stationed at the foot of the slide,
who push the logs into the proper
position to be seized by the chain,
and thus a continuous supply " is
kept moving. As the logs reach
the platform on top of the slide
they are rolled on to the logway,
and at once loaded on the waiting
car by six loaders, three on a side,
who handle their cant hooks with
a skill and certainty wonderful to
behold. As the logs reach the car
the "catcher' places them in
position, and as soon as the requis
ite number is loaded the cannDves
down the track and the binder
dexterously encircles the load
with his chain, and fastens it
securely, while an empty car takes
the place of the one just loaded,
and thus the process is repeated
until the train or ten cars is freight
ed' with logs and ready for the re
turning engine, which is to haul it
to the railway on the river. The
average time used in loading a
car is one and one-half minutes.
An average of 270,000 feet a day
is put in over this road, and 13,
000,000 feot has been taken from
the lake and put into the Muske
gon this season in less than GO
days. The firm has 20000,000
feet of pine tributary to Pickerel
lake."
Trousers a Nuisance.
Trousers are not economical, in
asmuch as they get baggy at the
knees long before the' are worn
out. They are always getting
dirty at the ankles. They are not
specially adapted either for cold
or for wet. On a wet day it is the
part from the knee downward
that catches the rain and necessi
ates changing the whole garment.
Indeed it is the way in which the'
ignore the knee joints which ren
ders the trousers so objectionable.
It is at this joint that they drag,
and not only spoil their own shape,
but inflict a sense of tightness
over the whole body by means of
braces. The mere discarding of
trousers and substituting knicker
bockers and stockings would effect
a great reform in male costumes, a
more striking and salutary change
than any other detail, except, per
haps, the abolition of the hat
top. Clothier and Finisher.

An Eventful Lite.
Victoria, Sept. 1. Yesterday
Hon. John Tod, one of the most
remarkable of the hardy pioneers
of the great northwest, expired in
his fllst year. Before the century
was twenty years of age he had
traversed the vast territory from
Hudson bay to the Columbia river.
He remembered every incident of
the trouble between the Northwest
Fur Co. and the Hudson Bay Co.,
which culminated in open hostili
ties on the ground on which the
city of Winnipeg is now built, just
outside of old Fort Garry. He
found his way to Montreal by the
great lakes about the time of the
waroflS12. He was a man who
never knew what fear was. On
one occasion Nicola and a large
band of Indians managed to get
in the fort enclosure for the pur
pose of killing the master and
plundering the premises. Mr. Tod
being almost alone and unaided,
ordered several kegs of powder to
be brought to him, and knocking
out the head of one, he coolly
lighted a match and threatened to
blow up the fort, himself and all
the Indians by whom he was sur
rounded, unless they at once left
the place and neighborhood. It
is needless to say that he was soon
master of the situation, and from
that time all insubordination
among the Indians was at an end.
On another occasion while cast of
the Rockies, the smallpox broke
out among the natives, and they
imagined that Mr. Tod, the only
white man amongst them, spread
the fearful disease intentionally.
A large deputation waited upon
him to talk the matter over and
during the conference- he. was
openly accused of wanting to kill
all the Indians.
'If," said .Mr. Tod, "I wanted to
kill you all, I have only to take tho
cork out of this bottle," pulling it
out of his pocket as he spoke, "and
j every J lutian in the room would be
a dead man." This remarkable
instance of tact and presence of
mind, settled that difficulty and
his influence from that time was
supreme.
He was first at Astoria in 181 1,
haviug crossed the mountains and
reached the Columbia river from
the east very short by after the late
John .lacob Astor founded that
trading post, afterwards immortal
ized by "Washington Irving.
He was a contemporary of the
celebrated Dr. McLaughlin, and
was early connected with Fort
Vancouver. He retired from the
service of the H. B. Co. after leav
ing Kamloops, about IS-iTor 1S8,
and settled at his late residence on
Cadboro bay. In 1 85 1 he was ap
pointed a member of the first ex
ecutive council of Vancouver Is
land by. the late Sir James Doug
las, and held that position fcr sev
eral vears.
Moving City.
Near the end of the Northern'
Pacific railway track, says the W.
"W. Events, may be seen the larg
est, moving city in the world.
Never during the present area of
railroad building has there been
Avitnessed such a scene as this
which now presents itself at the
ends of the track. There at least
5,000 persons, all men, except per
haps 25, and all bent on making
money. There are tents, shanties,
caves and "wickiups" of all shapes
and sizes. Order of regulation,
so far as streets are concerned,
there is none. The valley in which
Rock Island is situated is too nar
row for a compact town site for
five thousand inhabitants, hence
the tents and shanties are scattered.
There can be counted fifty gin
mills or saloons, a dozen general
merchandise tents and shanties,
and the same number of boarding
tents.
