She started from Yokohama for Moji, via Kobe, to take in a cargo of coal _ for Messrs. Carlowitz & Co., on the afterâ€" noon of Dec. 3, but Kobe was never reached. Usually the voyage takes three or four days, and when a month had passed and not hing had been heard of her all hope was abandoned. It was‘ on the {th of December that the first difficulty . was encountered. _ The scÂ¥ ;mn very high, rain fell in torrents, and the ship, which contained no . Ccarg0 pitched and rolled very heavily. Then happened an accident which made the crew feel that their doom was sealed. Capt. Leighton . was endeavoring . to wear the ship round on the other tack when the bed of the boiler gave Way and the ship was in dire distress. The boiler is one of sixty tons weight, and every roll of the vessel this tremendous mass of metal dashed against the bunkâ€" ers, completely smashed them in, and threatened every minute to erush in the sides, when all would have been over. As the boiler broke from its fastenings | the funnel was carried away ‘Lo sem, fl.l'\;l EBC EUTNOE WARRARAAAC OE q asls then the crew set to work to tackle with their mighty opponent, the rolling boilâ€" er, which, it was feared, would break in the bulkheads. _ Everything at hand was thrown down the boiler room, with the cbject of forcing the boiler into & resting positionâ€"sails, tarpaulins, logs of wood, hawsers, etc., were used up in this way, and at length the men‘s efâ€" forts were rewarded. The boiler settled itself on the port side, giving the boat a heavy list, and, in order to make it doubly secure, heavy chains were passed xhrou{’h and fixed on the upper deck. The s ip was in a terrible plight ; there was no steam, no sails: a boat had been carried away by the funnel ; two men had been in juredâ€" only â€" slightly, fortunatelyâ€"and _ to crown all, the after hold was rapidly filling with water. Then, to add to all these troubles, the port lifeboat . was dashed against the ship‘s side by a treâ€" mendous sea as it was being swung out. _ Only one small damaged â€" boat was left, and the crew numbered twenâ€" tyâ€"sixâ€"two being Chinese, three Japanâ€" ese, and twentyâ€"one Europeans. | But there was not a coward among the crew ; they were fearful of their fate, but ‘they â€" resoived, if the worst should come, to do their duty until death. Some worked the bilze pump and others bailed the water out with buckets, the work proceeding all night. An examination was made of the shaft tunnel, and it was found that water was coming in through the bilge pipes.. Thase were closed, the bulkheads were braced, and the water was thus preventâ€" ed from making further headway into the hold. In the morning the sea had somewhat moderated, and the crew then set to work and made a raft out of the spars and woodwork that could be got. The ship drifted helplessly about and was carried out to sea. It was then deâ€" cided to improvise sails out of tarpauâ€" lin, old bags, and carpets, und this being done, a course was struck for the south. Altogether the ship was under | sail for thirtyâ€"four days. Provisions had run short; the men had one meal a day, consisting of a biscuit or two, a bit of pork, a potato, and occasionally a piece of shark. It is difficult to conâ€" ceive what hardships they labored under and what a terribly trying time they had. _ When all had given up hope the steamer Boynton hove in sight.

A Pastry Cook‘s Tasty Pattiesâ€"HMow a Dog Avenged | Mis Master‘s Death _ and Krought Two Criminals to Justice. Many a man has been guilty of the crime of cannibalism unconsciously, and in past ages hundreds of men and woâ€" men in the city of Paris were fed upon human flesh in ignorance of the kind of food they were consuming. How knowledge of the fact was brought home to some of them by a dog, whose master had been murdered in the huâ€" man shambles, is worth translating. When Louis IX., known to his admirâ€" ers as Saint Louis, was King of France, there dwelt in the Rue des Deuxâ€"Erâ€" mites a master barber named Galipaud. He handled the razor with unusual dexâ€" terity, and his customers were wellâ€"toâ€" do and numerous. Galipaud‘s immediate neighbor was a pastry cook named Grimaldi, a native of Florence, who did a large business with wealthy customers. His shop was one of the most frequented in the city, and certain little patties after a reâ€" cipe of his own were sought by epicures from every quarter. ‘They were better seasoned and more delicately flavored than those to be had from other pastry cooks, and he sold an enormous quanâ€" tity every day. Just at dusk one Christmas eve a bellâ€"ringer at the Caâ€" thedral of Notre Dame conceived the unlucky notion of getting shaved, and he siepped into Galipaud‘s shop accomâ€" panied by a little spaniel called Carâ€" pillon. At a sign from his master the dog lay down in a corner of the shop near the door, while he hbimself went ljnlu the rear shop, where the barber awaited him. The dog jumped to his feet and rushâ€" ed into the rear shop, barking. He searched for his master without avail, for the bellâ€"ringer had disappeared. At Carpillon, always on the qui vive, & few minutes afterward heard a groan, immediately followed by a noise like that of a door shut firmly. once the dog set up & long, floud. howl, and Galipaud, in a rage, seized a cane, with the evident intention of dispatehâ€" ing the animal. Carpilion avoided the blow, and becoming furious in turn, atâ€" tacked the barber‘s legs, which he bit severely. After wreaking this partial vengeance be retreated under a heavy cabinet and recommenced his wailing howls. c o ind At this juncture two of the bellâ€" ringer‘s friends entered the barber‘s rooms. Carpillon recognized them,crept out of his retreat and ran to them, renewing his plaintive lamentation. _ **Why, it‘s Carpillon," one of them exclaimed. ‘" What is the matter, litâ€" tle dog? Where is your master?" _ The dog‘s excitement was redoubled by these sympathetic words. Again he rushed upon the barber most frantiâ€" cally, biting hbim wherever his teeth could reach, and drove him to the furthâ€" er end of his shop. The two men folâ€" lowed in an effort to calm the animal, but ugon seeing Galipaud hastily pick up a bloody nigh'm‘sf) and seek to conâ€" ceal it, they stopped short, as if petriâ€" fied by fear. The barber‘s terrible palâ€" lor, haggard eyes and strange embarâ€" rassment were a complete revelation for these witnesses, and they trembled at the horror they had only begun to comâ€" prehend. _ _ R ons _ Like a thunderbolt these words struck Guli({mud. He saw that he was lost, and tried to escape, but the dog seized him _**Jean Lefevre has certainly been murdered!" they exclaimed. _ _ _ by the leg with a firm grip, and the bellâ€"ringer‘s friends barred the pasâ€" sage and shouted for help. Soon the shop was filled with people. Sergeantsâ€" deâ€"ville came {)romptly. and immediateâ€" ly they set about searching the premâ€" ises. Their discovery was a most frightful one. In Galipaud‘s rear shop they found a trap door swinging upon & hinge, and opening into the cellar beneath. When the wretch had cut his victim‘s throat he threw him down backward upon the trap, and the body disappeared, while the door was brought back to its place by a carefully adjusted spring. . At night, after the commission of each murder, Galipaud went down into his cellar and cut the body into i’;inls preâ€" cisely as a professional butcher would cut an animal he had killed. The head and bones were put into a sack to be thrown into the Seine at the first opâ€" porluni&v. ‘The fiesh was sold to Grimâ€" aldi, and this was the meat with which the scoundrel made the famous patties that all Paris en‘{oyed with so keen a relish. A small door excavated in the foundation of the building established x communication between the adjoinâ€" ugfi:ollars occupied by this pair of canâ€" nibalistic devils. _ _ _ 7 The victims of Galipaud were probâ€" ably numbered by scores, but he assertâ€" ed. his inxbuit)r to tell how many he had killed.
