DISCOVERY OF KINS, THE SOLE SURVIVOR.
His Solitary Life in the Antarctic Seas*
From the New York Herald. |_
By the arrival of the schooner Nile, at New
London, from her ernise to the South Shet
land Islands, situated in the Antartic regions,
where she has been engaged in the capture of
seals for the English market, we are placed in
possession of the following facts, relating how
live of the crew of the vessel FraDklin passed
the winter oil one of these ice-bound isles,
and how only one of them survives to tell the
story of their terrible sufferings. The name
of the survivor is James A. King, a boat
steerer, aged thirty-four years, a native of this
city, where his wife, sister and a brother
employed in the Fire Department are now
living. He himself is expected here within a
few weeks, having remained behind at Per
“We managed to live nyon pelican flesh
and some biscuits which had been left behind
by a boat’s crew. We made clothes as well
as we could ont of seal skins. The cold was
intense in spite of the stove, in which we
barned seal blubber. We managed to lose ac
count of time during the year which we have
passed here, and knew that Summer had come
again by its being warm. Our baling enp
from our boat was very useful.
DESERTED BY HIS C OMPANIONS.
About a fortnight ago, as nearly as I can
make out,” said King, “three of my mates
took the boat and said they were going back
to Window Island. One of onr original num
ber of five I had forgotten to say, a Portugese
from the Cape de Verde Islands, had died
from weakness and frostbites several months
back and we buried him in the snow near the
sea. The three survivors included Townsend,
i the third mate, who was a native of Shinne-
; cock, Long Island, and was the head of the
movement in breaking up our hut establish- ;
j ment. I remonstrated with him and told ;
i him it would be foolishness to leave after un- !
dergoing such privations together, and that '
| we had better fight it cut to the end. I also j
stated that if they left me I should be with- !
out auy fire, as the mate had the only fiint
and steel among the party, and we had no
matches.
THREE OF THE PABTY LOST IN THE BREAKERS.
However, they left, and I helped them to
launch their boat. I don’t know what has
happened to them.
Captain Beddingdon, the present command
er of the Franklin, which went ont again last
year from New London, reported subsequent
ly that a sailor’s coat and a portion of the
boat in which the three men embarked was
found on the beach near Cape Sheriff, about
thirty miles distant from the hut in which
the men had passed their dreary year, and it
is therefore to be concluded that the men were

DECLINE OF THE SEAL FISHERIES.

In the year 1871 the schooner Franklin,
Captain Holmes, left New London as one of
the pioneer vessels from that port to engage
in the seal fishery at the South Shetland Isl
ands, which are situated at about ten days’
sail to the southward of Cape Horn, in lati
tude C4. After an uneventful voyage of four i
months the vessel arrived at its destination.
The following day the captain ordered a j MRS
boat’s crew of five men, under the orders of
James A. King, boat steerer, to proceed to
the shore and commence killing seals at Win
dow Island, off which place the vessel was
anchored. In the boat were placed provisions
for seven days and a big club for each of the

“WE HAVE LETT FOB ST. GEORG
Call for us there.” The rich booty of seal
skins was left on the beach, and the party de
parted for the island, where its members safe
ly arrived and commenced operations.
Meanwhile the Franklin returned from a
cruise to Livingstone Island, (where it had
made a large haul of seals) to Window Island,
expecting to find her five men there, take
them on board and sail for home. A boat was
accordingly sent ashore to bring them on
board, but, of course, they were invisible;
but after traveling a considerable distance
along the rugged shore tbe pile of seal skins
was discovered by the crew, and the notice
written by King that the party had left the
island. By this time the weather was becom
ing boisterous and cold, and it was found im
possible to take all the sealskins on board
ship. They were, consequently, abandoned,
and the Franklin proceeded to St George's
Island in quest of the missing m-n, who, the
Captain judged, if not relieved, would soon
perish. For several days the vessel cruised
in tbe vicinity of the island, the Captain con
stantly studying it with his glass, but in vain,
to see if he could perceive any sign of human
life. The group of islands is totally unin
habited, and it is only from the middle of
January until the middle of March that tbe
so-called summer reigns.
Nothing could be seen of tbe boat or of the
men, but in spite of this guns were fired con
stantly, fog horns were blown, and at night
rockets were sent up; but no response of any
kind cams from the shore, and the Captain of
the Franklin, seeing the futility of his efforts
was forced to abandon the men to their fate,
and sailed for home. No boat was sent
ashore

Correspondence of the New York Herald.
Halifax, N. S., May 13, 1873.
Nova Scotia, which but a month ago fur
nished to the world the most appalling ship
wreck of the century, to-day contributes
another horror, which, if far less appalling, is
regarded here as a terrible one, and creates a
doubt as to the safety of the numerous coal
mines which form the most important indus
try of the province. The village of Westville,
in the county of Pictou, 103 miles from Hali
fax, is one of the most
EXTENSIVE MINING SETTLEMENTS
in the province. Apart from the numerous
prospecting operations continually in pro
gress, there are three large collieries in full
operation, exporting large quantities of coal.
Navigation having recently opened, and busi
ness becoming active, the workmen in most
of the collieries demanded increased wages,
and several strikes occurred. One of the larg
est mines, called the Drummond Colliery,
owned by tbe Intercolonial Coal Company of
Montreal, has, in consequenco been closed
up for some days. Yesterday the difficulty
was arranged, and to-day the men went to
work again.
THE FIRST EXPLOSION.
At half-past eleven this morniDg a shot in
the coal set fire to the slope, and half an hour
atferwards a fearful explosion took place,
caused by the accumulation of gas during the
time the miDe was closed. About two o’clock
a second and more terrible explosion occur
red. coming up the slope air shaft, an old
trial shaft, with terrible force, and, it is be-
leived, killing nearly every one in the mine.
It is impossible to give the precise number
who were below.
A GREAT NUMBER IN THE MINE.
It is variously estimated at from forty to
one hundred, including men and boys. Soon
after the first explosion, cries were heard at
the foot of the air shaft. Men were immedi
ately lowered with ropes, and four of those
below brought up.
TWO MEN BLOWN TO PIECES.
Two men were going down the air shaft to
render assistance when the second explosion
occurred, and they were blown to pieces. All
the men in the neighboring mines turned out
to assist, and firemen came from the neigh
boring town of New Glasgow.
NO WATER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.
There was such a small supply of water,
however, that little could be done to quench
the fire. There is no hope of saving any of
those now below, as all escape was cut off by
the explosion.
At 10 o’clock to-night the fire was still i$g-
ing fiercely, immense volumes of flame and
dense masses of smoke were pouring out of
all the openings, and threatening to destroy
all the surface buildings.
THE MANAGER AND FOREMAN DOWN THE MINE
James Dunn, the general manager, and
Richardson, the underground foreman, are
amoDg the lost.
Many of the lost are married men with fam
ilies. The scene above gTonnd is most heart
rending. The wives and relatives of the
miners are running about crying piteously,
and begging the men to save their loved
ones. At latest accounts it was believed
that the entire work will be completely de-
stroved.

IN AUGUST LAST YEAR
a Xew London sailing fleet left for the South
Shetland Islands, and it was mutually agreed
that the captains of the vessels should do all
in their power to discover what had become
of the five lost men. When the bark Nile,
commanded by Captain Williams, came to an
anchorage off Fotterss’ Cove, St George’s
Island, the Captain and a number of his men
went ashore to see what had happened to the
men. The Captain expected, owing to tbe
full cold of this region of perpetual snow and
ice, that none of them would be alive.
KING DISCOVERED IN A HUT.
Walking along the beach for some distance
the exploring party were astonished to find a
small wooden hut, from which projected a
stovepipe, situated at about two ships’ lengths
from tbe shore. The door waa poshed open,
and in a comer of the hat, a man with long,
red beard and matted hair, was found fa*>t
asleep. His clothing consisted of sealskins.
On his feet, for a substitute for shoes, were
“pengml sandals,” made by removing the
body of tb« animal and using the skin and
feathers of the beast
THE STORY OT KING'S DELIVERANCE.
James Randall, a boat steerer of the Nile,
who was in this city yesterday, at the Whale
man’s Headquarters, a shipping office situated
on South street, made the following statement
to a Herald reporter and Captain Morris, the
proprietor of tne place:
I was among the first who discovered King’s
hat. It was made of boards, feathered and
grooved; placed there by the vessel Francis
Allen, in case it might be needed to erect the
hut for ihe sailors who might be detained
ashore during the sealing seaaou. The boards
and a stove were found by the five men, and
they succeeded, after considerable difficulty,
in getting all in place. Well, we woke
up King, who was no glad to see us that
ho could hardly speak. He had been without
a tire for several days, and was in a somewhat
benumed condition. This is wjiat King told
more !' Well, sir, do you stay at home a few
nights and try it. Perhaps the fretting would
stop. Out e-v-e-r-y night because I fret you
so. What’s that sir ? ‘You know ladies who
ain’t always scolding their husbands !* You
do, do you ? How come you to know them ?
Wbat business had you to kDow them ?
What right have you to know whether other
women fret or not ? That’s always the way.
Y’ou men think that all the other women
are saints but your wives. Oh, yes—saints—
s a-i-n-t-s. I'll have you to know, sir, that
there isn’t a woman in this town that’s any
more of a saint than I am. I know them all,
sir—a h-e-a p better than you do. You see
the sugar and honey side of them, and they—
only—see—the—honey— and —sugar—side—
of—yon. Now, sir, I juat want yon to know
that if yon don’t stay at home more than you
do, I’ll leave these children to get burnt up,
and I’ll go out e-v-e-r-y night When a poor
woman gets desperate, why, sir, she is—des
perate, that's all
Among numerous other laws of a commen
dable nature, the Legislature of Michigan has
enacted that, hereafter, druggists or doctors
who fail to write or print upon the label of
each bottle or paper containing poison, the
most easily obtainable antidote to the same,
shall be subject to a very severe penalty. The
object is to prevent the “excitement” which
always occurs when some member of a family
has “accidentally” swallowed a poisonous
compound intended to destroy rats and mice,
by providing a remedy that can be procured
from the nearest druggist, without having to
lose time in hunting op a doctor to make an
examination and write a prescription—a slow
and tedious'process.as nearly everybody knows
who has had experience of it. The Michigan
idea of prevention is, perhaps, not as thor
ough ss it might be. It is practical, however,
and, there is little doubt, will be found to
work well.

Poetry from the Camp.
From the New York World.
In a note accompanying the following
bright little lyric, the sender remarks: “I
take the liberty of inclosing to you a copy oi
some verses, written, as I have reason to sup
pose, by a private in the Southern ranks dur
ing the late war, having noticed the repro
duction iu tbe Social Studies, recently of a
somewhat similar composition. I caunot say
who the author was, nor to what arm of the
service he belonged, but remember copying
the lines in a pocket diary—taking them down
from tbe dictaiion of a fellow-soldier, now
the Episcopal clergyman at Culpepper Court
house, Va., during the time when the ladies
were making us all kinds of garments, and
contributing all in their power—if even but
their affectionate remembrances—to ‘carry
on the war.’” Whether their writer was
Northern or Southern, the verses are worth
revival:
In the bravo old days when the steel-clad youth
Rode forth to the cUsh of war,
He carried a pledge of his lady’s truth
In his journey near and far;
Iu the battle’s brunt, with hia lance in rest,
His thought was a prayer for her
Who had twined her glove in his helmet crest,
And buckled bis knightly spur.
That courtly age has passed, I ween,
And the knight and nis lady are dust:
The helmet has lost its silver sheen.
And the corselet is red with rust;
But the soldier’s heart can with love still barn,
And the fair still pray for the brave;
Bright eyes shall beam fer the victor’s return,
Or tueir tears be the dew of his grave.
Though she binds not tbe spur on his manly heel.
Nor twines on his helmet her glove,
Yet her soul is as true as his own true steel,
And she sends to the soldier her love;
And oh, that love is a talisman bright,
A warrior’s heart to inspire,
To nerve his strong arm in the shock of the fight,
Aud to brighten bis bivouac fire.
The most accommodating man we ever saw
says the Danbury News, was he who was the
captain of a steamship which plied between
New York and Port Royal during the war.
One day a soldier lost his cap overboard, and
went to the captain about it. The old gentle
man said it was impossible to stop the vessel
to recover it, but be kindly offered to make a
mark on the rail where it weut overboard, and
get it when he came back. We saw him make
the mark ourselves, and well remember
that in all that motley crowd there was not a
single dry eye.
