everyone who did not know him thought him the noblist christian of them all. But I hap- pened to be taken down an alley, as the guard feared that we would escape in the crowds, and there I saw Austin and a few other ruflins shooting crap. When they saw us they feared that we would tell what we had seen and so they determined to put us out of the way. They rushed upon us and soon we were n of a battle royal. The guards fought savagely, and we thought that this would be a good time for us to make our escape, so we rushed toward the shore where we had left our boat a few days before. The hope of finding it still there was very slight but fortune being on our side it was still there. We had outdistanced most of the natives and were about a hundred yards from the boat when I stumbled and fell. A large native jumped upon me and was about to plunge an ugly look- 1 the midst ing knife into mc, when Quintard grasped his hand and by a quick twist, broke his arm. I jumped up and we ran to the boat. Quickly jumping in we rowed out to sea.' 'llhat night we were picked up by the vessel Delinquix, bound for New York. This vessel has the reputation of picking up all Wanderers and lost souls and bringing them back to civilization. At New York I had to leave Quintard and I made my way home. That is the story of the Shipwreck and I hope that I will never have to go through another. The remaining passengers of the Riverfuse were picked up and brought safe and sound to New York. I have written more than I had intended when I took up my pen, but the memories of that voyage Hood back to me and it is difficult to re- frain from writing a longer story. END.

Lloyd E. Mayer opened the program with a vocal solo. There were many groans and some left. 'llhere was no encore so Russel Slocum arose and delivered a line appeal for women's rights. When he had tinished, the you ng- women if 'il clapped and V Y cheered. It could i easily he seen X ' that Slocum was - the most popu- lar ladies' man W on the island.

Lloyd Mayer sang' again at the end of the meeting, and before he had finished the lirst verse the janitor was turning' out the lights, as the audience had left as soon as his melodious voice permeated the vital air with his vociferous discords. The next day was Sunday and as the natives were very religious we were compelled to at- tend the service. The missionary's name was Austin and he appeared to he very devoted and -r'
