The wreck of the ship Golden Hind
has aiready hem rccirdcd, but the
unparalleled au He rings of the portion
of her crew* who yet survive, we
believe, lias never yet been made
public. In a long interview, yester
day, Mr. Saville detailed all the
fearful particulars, and . we give
the frightful story in his own
words.
TIIE FIRST OFPICEtfS NARRATIVE.
The American ship Golden Hind,
Captain Benjamin F. Robbins, left
New York on the 12th of February,
o nfsv voyago to San Francisco. When
in a latitude of St. Catherines wo ex
perienced a series of heavy westerly
gibs, which continued for nearly a
month with treat violence. On the
1 Ah jTfprtne last, when on the west
side if jPttfcgonia/’und at the Pacific
cntruncA to flic Straits of Magellan,
the pintals and gudgeons of the rud
der guvs way and it floated off. Three
days were consumed in constructing a
temporary one of spars. It lasted
about a week, hut in another heavy
gale this was aiso carried away, and
we drifted at the mercy of the winds
Almost the entire month of July
was sjient in pulling in what we be
lieved to be the direction to Sandy
Point. The only human beings we
in a canoe. They treated ut cordially,
met were an Iudian and tw* squaws
exchanged u dnek forasmall'tjuanit/
of tobacco, but they had no other
provisions.. We had -secured from
the ship two rijlOe, and one of the crew
shot a duck, but the powder became
wet, and our weapons were useless.
A dead duck found among the rocks,
whs also secured anil eaten, but with
the exception of the shell-fish, this was
the only "food we secured.
HUNGER. •
In (flatter put of July the weather
became * fearfully tempestuous, and
after several days of fruitless buffeting,
we went into our las't^oucanipmeut.
It was a terribly bleak and desolate
spot, shut out from the sea by high
cliffs, and filled with low stunted trees.
We found, however, a few roots, some
berries, and, strange to say, a little
celery, and, not knowing whether the
vegetables were poisonous or not, each
man partook ravenously of whatever
he could find. The high tides preven
ted our securing any shell fish, and
the few seals we saw were two timid
to capture, but we secured water in
abundance from the streams running
down the mountain.
DEATH.
Here the men became seriously ill.
Their legs were swollen to frightful
proportions, but few could wear their
boots, and a majority wandered about
with their feet tied up in old cloth and
pieces of canvas. Some, unable to
walk at all, crawled about on their
hands and knees.
At length a man named White, a
'seaman, became delirious and shortly
nfterward died. The ground was so

A GHOST STORY.
- One ‘fine - autumn evening, about
forty, years ago, I was traveling ot'

thunder storm' came on. My horse,
terrified by the lightning, fairly took
the bridle' between his teeth, and star
ted With nje a$ full gallop through the
lanes'and cross-roads, until at length I
managed to pull him up near the door
of ft neat looking country inn.
“ Well,” thought I, “ there was wit
in your madness, old boy, since it
brought ps to this comfbrtabje refuge.”
After alighting, I -cave him in charge
to the svout farmer’s boy who acted as
hostler. The inn kitchen, which was
also his guest room, was large, clean,
neat and eomfbrtable; very much like
the pleasant hostelry described by
Isaac Walton. There were several
travelers already in the room—proba

selves by the blazing fire while waiting
for suppar. 1 joined the party. Pres
ently lieing summoned by the hostess,
we all sat down, twelve in number, to
a smokin'; repast of bacon and
A fearful moment of silence ensued,
and then the student replied, but in an
altered tone:
j! “ I am not.”
With strange and frantic gesture the
merchant sang:
“ And the phantom said, ‘ Behold I come
• ■ from niy grave in the sea,
Link, thy haud in mine, thou shalt go
back with me.’”
,Now, what happens?”
“ He comes—he is near me- -he
reaches out his arms—he will liave me!
Help! -Save me ?”
“Are you afraid now ?” asked the
merchant, in a mocking voice.;
piercing cry. and then a stifled
groan- was the only reply to this terri
ble question.
“ Help that rash youth 1” said the
merchant, bitterly. “ I have, I think,
won his wager; but it is sufficient for
me to have given him a lesson. Let
him keep his money aud be wiser in
the future.”
He walked away rapidly. We
opened the door of the summer house,
and found the student in convulsions.
A paper signed with the name of
“ Francis Villiers” was on the table.
As soon as the student’s senses were
restored, he asked vehemently where
was the sorcerer who had subjected
etc. i Him to such a terrrible ordeal—lie

gig, had been upset in a muddy dyke;

Of course, after waiting a while for

stake-money, it gradually dawned upon

The next morning the last vestige
of the Golden Hind had disappeared,
and a search, which- continued two
days, was then made for the other boat,

makes me shudder now to think of it.

WITHOUT A COM 1 *ASS.
A few days after we left the wreck
the captain’s boat was swamped, and
we lost our compass, the only instru
ment wo had, and a quantity of the pro
visions. An attempt was made to
reach Sandy Point, a Chilian convict
settlement, and the coaling station of
f ho Pacific mail steamers, and about
iwo'-tlnrds the way through the straits
of Magellan, but our course could only
bo determined by the sun and stars.

absence of the wife on n visit to rela
tives. One day Idarcccived a message
from Mrs. X., requesting her to call
at her house, as she (Mrs. X.) had a
letter from the county for her. In the
afternoon Ida dress herself in her best
clothes, and went to Mrs. X’s house,
where she was met at the door by the
woman, who kissed her, inquired par
ticularly about thc state of her health,
and placed her in the most comfortable
chair in the room, an armed rocking-
chair.
Mrs. X. offered the girl refreshment,
which she declined, with a request for
a glass of water. This was at once
brought by the amiable hostess, who
herself took a drink. The woman then
went into an adjoining room, from
which she speedily returned with a
strong cord or rope, arranged in the
form of a noose. Smiling and talk
ing pleasantly all the time, she stymied
behind her visitor, and dropping i he
noose over her head and arms, with a
sudden jerk, she soon bound the young
girl helpless to the chair. “ Now ,”
said the woman, “you shall see hov,-1
will avenge myself;” whereupon,
from the table drawer she took a pair
of shears, a large knife and a revolver,
all of which implements she spread
upon the table before her victim, ay
this time ready to faint with terror.
The tormentor’s next 'step was to
cut off the girl’s hair a3 close as possible
to the skin, leaving only a single hand
ful on the top of the head, for the pur
pose as sho explained, of facilitating
the subsequent operation of scalping.
The girl screamed and cried for help
as loudly as she could, but the house
stands in a lonely place, and no deliv
erer appeared
After cutting off the hair, Mrs. X.
brought a looking gloss, that Ida
might see the change produced iu her
appearance. As the girl begged her
release, saying that she was freezing,
she was told,
tion of mocking epithets, that she
would be warm enough before she got
away. Mrs. X. then put thc poker
in the stove, and while calmly waiting
lor it to become red-hot, she told her
victim what she intended to do wir.h
it “ First, I will burn your eyes
out,” etc., etc. And she really begun
to execute her threats, but when she
was trying to blind the girl, the latter
bv a superhuman effort, seized the
glowing poker and for a while arrest
ed the monster in the perpetration of
her crime. This interruption made it
necessary to reheat the poker, and in
the meantime, the unlooked-for return
of the husband was all that saved the
“ Witches and ghosts prefer for
their Sabbaths a tine moonlight to
such weather as this !”
This was uttered in a solemn tone,
and witli a strong emphasis, by one of
the company.. He was a tall, dark
looking man, aud I laid set him down
ia my own mind as merchant or ped
dler.
My next neighbor was a gay, well
looking, fashionably dressed young
man, who bursting into a peai of
laughter, said:
“You must be well acquainted with
the customs of ghosts, to tell us that
they dislike getting wet or muddy.”
The first speaker, giving him a dark,
fierce look, said:
“ Young man, speak not so lightly
of things beyond your comprehension.”
“ Do you mean to imply that there
are such things ns ghosts?”
“ Perhaps you might lie convinced
of the fact, if you had the courage to
iook at them.”
The' young man stood up, flashed
with anger; hut presently resuming
his seat, he said calmly:
“ That taunt should cost you dear,
if it was not such a foolish one ?”
“ A foolish one!” exclaimed the
merchant, throwing on the table a
heavy leathern purse. “There arc
fifty guineas. 1 am content to lose
them, if, before the hour is ended, I do
not succeed in showing you, who are
so obstinately prejudiced, the form of
any of your deceased friends, and if,
after you have recognized him, you
will allow him to kiss your lips.”
We all looked at each other, hut
my young neighhor in the same mock
ing manuer, replied:
“ You will do that will you?”
“Yes,” said thc other; “I will
take those fifty guiucas on condition
ti nt you will pay a similar sum if you
lose.”
After a short time the young man
said, gaily:
“ Fifty guineas, ray worthy sorcerer,
are more than a poor college sizer ever
possessed, but there are five, which, if
you are satisfied, I shall be willing to
wager.”
The other took up his purse, saying
in a contemptuous tone:
Young gentleman, you wish to
draw back:”
“ I draw back ;” exclaiinod the stu
dent. “ Well, if I had fifty guineasyou
should sec whether I wish, to draw
back!” ’ —
“Here,” said I, “ are four guineas
which I will take on your wager.” *
No sooner had I made this proposi
tion than the rest of the company, at
tracted by the singularity o: the affair
came forward today down their money,
and in a minute or two the fifty
guineas were subscribed. The mer
chant appeared so sure of winning
that he placed all the stake in the stu
dent’s hands and prepared for his ex
periment. We selected for the pur
pose a small summer house in the gar
den, perfectly deserted, and having no
means of exit but a window and a
door, which wc carefully fastened, af
ter placing the young man within.
We put writing materials on a small
table in the summer house, and took
away the candies. We remained out-
side'with the peddler among us. In a
low solemn voice he began to cl >ant the
following lines:
ried off our guineas, after having act d
a farce, which wc like ninnies believed
to be real. I have not invested any
money in ghost stock siucc then.
BOILED TO DEATH.
One of these accidents so horrible
iu their details as to sicken the sensi
bilities of thc reader occurred at the
Caledonia Paper Mills, at the foot of
Market street, late Saturday afternoon.
At about thiee o’clock, Joshua Cum
mins, night watchman of the works,
came to the building in an intoxicated
condition, and the employees, fearful
that he would meet with a mishap of
some kind, if allowed to remain in that
state, put him out and started him to
ward home, corner of Blackford and
North streets. Nothing more wrs
seen of him until about twenty min
utes past four, when the workmen in
the tub house—four or five negroes—
were startled bysi cry thnt almost
froze the blood in their veins. Well
they knew what it meant—some un
fortunate had fallen into one of the
vats used for steaming the straw be
fore reducing it to pulp. Proceeding
n the direction of theory, they discov
ered Cummins in vat four, stri\i-ig to
obtain a hoid upon the edge of the
staves and pull himself put. Thc vat
is ten feet deep, and at that time con
tained two feet of “ mash and two feet
of water, the whole mass being boiling
hot.

A Penitentiary Romance—I: -
nocent Incest.—There is now in the
State Penitentiary at Fort Madison,
an aged couple who are serving out a
term for the crime of incest, they being
brother and sister. The story is this:
At the age of twelve years, the male
left his father’s house to seek his for
tune and no more return. He, in
time, came West, grew to manhood
and married, raised a family of child
ren. and finally his wife died. His
sister grew to womanhood, was mar
ried, and with her husband came
West, and to Iowa. Her husband
died, and in time she received an offer
of marriage from a man who was a
widower. She accepted the offer and
they were married. Her husband was
wealthy, and after a time one of his
sons wished to have the father give
him some property, but the father re
fused to accede to his demands. The
son one day, while looking over the
family record of the stepmother, which
had been laid aside and forgotton, dis-
t nvered that there was a kindship be-
ween the families, and a further in
vestigation proved that his father and
stepmother were own brother and sis
ter. To avenge himself for his fath
er’s refusal to give him the bulk of his
operty, he brought suit against them
_ jth for incest. They were tried and
convicted and sent to the penitentiary
for one year. They are both over
sixty years of age, and as innocent of
intent to commit crime as the new-born
babe.—Chicago Journal,

of the first and covering it nil up. This makes 300 pounds to the acre. When
you plan', the seed, run a fainow on the middle row of the three distributes. The
tap roots run through thc middle row, the smaller roots runs out into each of the
other two distributes, nnd hence one bale to the acre is made: In our judgment,
it is the best pUu iu use.
