SAVED BY HIS BROTHER. A STRANGE meeting on board the WARSHIP SHENANDOAH. A. Romantic Story of tlio Wandorings of Two Now Orleans Seamen During the Late War, and the Timely Rescue of One hy the Other. From the Philadelphia Press. A more curious meeting of brothers per haps never took place than occurred on the deck of the Confederate States cruiser She tmudoah up among the ice in Behring’s Straits on June 28,1805. Five veilin' previously John and Francis Turner 'were a couple of smart young fellows in Now Orleans, owning a pair of “floats,” as the large drays are called there, with which they made a business of hauling cotton on the river front. On an afternoon in the autumn of 1880 John Turner, the elder brother, was passing along the lower levee, where a tow of sailing vessels, outward bound, was being made up, when he was called on board of one of them on some pre text and asked to go into the forecastle. Be fore he understood what was going on the tow cast loose from the moorings and pro ceeded down the Mississippi. When ho appealed to the Captain of the vessel to lie put on shore he was laughed at; and he found that he had been “shanghaied” —that is, decoyed on the ship by a keeper of a sailors' boarding house, who had repre sented him as a seaman and drawn his ad vanced pay, which was nearly all his wages for the voyage to Liverpool, the port of destination. Some of his mates advised him to do his duty on board and to go to the United States Consul at Liverpool, who would send him home. Arrived in England, immediately upon landing he fell in with just such another ras cal as had shipped him at New Orleans, and, stupefied with drink, was again “shang haied"—this time on a vessel bound for China. Before she reached Hong Kong the drayman had become a first-rate seaman and had taken a liking to the life. poi-urning to England after the civil war had begun in America and good hands were offered double wages to ship on steamers running the blockade of Southern ports °he engaged in that dangerous and profitable service. Unlike most of his shipmates in those days of making money fast and spending it quicklv, he was prudent and economical. Bv keeping out of the dives and groggeries of Nassau, the calling port of the blockade running ferry between Liverpool and the Southern seacoast, where sailor-men then matched guineas for drinks, and one crew was known to spend £I,OOO on a night’s liberty, he saved most of his earnings, and soon opened an account at a Liverpool bank. bis luck ran along without a break until November, 1802, when he was an able sea man on the British steamer Banshee, one of the great fleet of swift ships, dodging the United States blockading squad rons into Charleston or Wil mington, with war material, and slipping to sea again with the precious cot ton that was sold at 500 per cent, profit on the other side of the Atlantic, where it fed the Lancashire mills and stopped the mouths of the rioters and the hungry opera tives. On this trip the Banshee was chased into Charleston harbor by a United States gun boat, and by the bursting of one of her shells over the blockade runner Turner re ceived a wound in the head that laid him up in a Charleston hospital until after the de parture of his ship. SEEKING FOR HOME AND BROTHER. Recovering from his injuries, which had temporarily affected his brain, Turner be came possessed of the impulse to make his way to New Orleans, then in the hands of the Fedsral forces, to seek for his brother and a young sister whom he had left there when he was kidnapped. It was a perilous journey from the Confed erate lines into those of the enemy, but he made his way safely across the Mississippi and reached'New Orleans early in January, 1863. There he could discover not the slightest vestige of his family. They had vanished about the time of tile Federal oc cupation, without leaving any traces of their departure. From New Orleans Turner worked his pas sage to Mobile in one of the coasters that kept up an illicit traffic between the two cities by wav of Lake Ponchartrain and Mississippi Sound, and at Mobile shipped on a blockade runner for Nassau. On the voy age the mental aberrations caused by his wound increased; he became unfit for duty and was put on shore at Nassau. The Confederate ship-of-war Florida was then in the port coaling for a cruise down the Spanish main and to the “parting of the marine roads” north of tlio equator. She * as short-handed and her commander, Capt. Alafßtt, was endeavoring to pick up seamen secretly so as to avoid violation of the British foreign enlistment law, which might have subjected him to detention. Turner applied for enlistment, but was rejected on account of his feeble appearance, which re sulted from his illness and disappointment. He was determined to get into the ship, and on her second day out he was discovered to be a stowaway in the forward hold. Capt. Mr.flitt was so incensed at finding him on board that ho ordered him ironed, but Lieut. Read, the third officer of the Florida, took a fancy to him and prevailed on Malfitt to give him a berth among the crew. < Turner proved an efficient seaman and won the confluence oi his mates. He remained in the ship during her work of burning and sinking American vessels on the coast of Hi ozil and was still one of her company when she ran across the Atlantic to Brest, in August, 1863. At that great French naval station he was among that portion of the Florida’s complement detached to go to England to help in manning the two huge and formidable armor-plated ships of war which the Laird firm had nearly completed at their Birkenhead dockyards for the South wn Confederacy. The British government scixisl the vessels before they could sail and die Confederate seamen were disiier.sed. Turner had wearied of naval service and shipped on a merchantman for New York. Thence he wandered up amongst the Mas mehuetts whalers and nt New’ Bedford signed articles for the bark Waverley. bound lor a three years’ cruise into the North Pacific and the Arctic ocean. the second confedf.kate seaman. At the outbreak of the war the younger brother, Francis Turner, had enlisted in a Louisiana artillery regiment, some of the companies of which, in tho deficiency of trained seamen, were detailed as gunners on the Confederate gunboats that opposed Far raigit’s passage up to New Orleans. Ho was one of tho few who escaped capture when the squadron was captured or destroyed, and accompanying Lieut. Baker and some other officers, ho evaded the Federal pickets on the cn it side of tho Mississippi and reached Mobile. Not desiring to be returned to hi3 regiment ho concealed nis identity by assuming the nniur. of Frederick Johnson, and roamed about the country until ho reached Fernon ,Un?(s 051 * * lO coast. After working awhile with the fishermen there he professed to an offieor nt a United States snip that anil cast anchor in the river to boa loyalist, -w as rocnilted as a landsman in the crew, 'thin three months the vessel was ordered die Philadelphia navy yard for repairs, jj in that port he deserted. Bis next berth was on an Italian craft for tho MediteiToncan from New * f| i k, and after a year or more in the mar ,ctiant service he was in Liverpool in Sep tember, 1864, when Capt. Bullock, the naval “£” ut of the Confederate States, had his “Hrulshers out gathering in every gsxl '*niun who could Ixi Ttersuadod to sign articles for a voyage in the steemship Hon L-iug to Singapore and beyond. Turner ignefl the articles with a correct suspicion, oeru-ed from his former UA|*u'iencc in the "“moderate service, that the Sea King was t'L, transformed in neutral waters into a t-tmloderate cruiser. Ho still kept t-o his assumed name of Johnson, and when the steamer was transferred to the Confederate flag off the lone'.y island of Las Desertas, one of the Madeiras, he was the first man of the ostensibly British crew to step forward at the summons of Capt. Waddell and en roll his name for service on the Confederate man-of-war Shenandoah. Waddell issued to him a warrant as a petty officer, and he stood as high .as any man on board the ship outside the wardroom and cabin. The Shenandoah ran down to Australia, and thence steamed up the Pacific to the high Northern latitudes. She inflicted more damage upon the commerce of the United States than any Confederate cruiser, except the Alabama, and in the boat parties that set fire to her many prizes Francis Turner was a conspicuous figure. Towards the end of May, 1885, she was North of the Aleutian Islands, and had struck some of the New England whalers who were working into the Ohkotsk sea and the Arctic ocean. Having been severed from communication vvith either the Asiatic or American Con tinent for three months, Capt. Waddell knew nothing of the surrender of Lee’s army or the occupation of Richmond by the Union army, and so continued his career of devastation. HOW THE BROTHERS MET. On June 28,1865, coming out of Behring’s Straits, the Shenandoah captured and burned eight American whaling ships. That far Northern sea and its floating- fields of ice were illuminated by the flames of the im mense conflagration, for the prizes had been closely huddled, and their oil-saturated hulls burned fiercely while their spars and rigging made a fiery tracery against the dull back ground of the Arctic sky. One of the doomed ships was the New Bedford Waverley, and the boat commis sioner! to take the prisoners from her and to apply the torch was in command of Francis Turner. The boat was loaded almost down to her gunwales, and in returning through the heavy sea to the Shenandoah a prisoner went overboard in one of the 1 undies that she made. Coxswain Turner hauled him in over the stern, and as they came face to face the rescued man fixed an inquisitive look upon the face of the coxswain. Huddled under a thwart, and covered with coats to keep from freezing, he said nothing then. But when the prisoners were mustered on the deck of the Shenandoah and required to give their names, he answered loudly, “John Turner, of New Orleans.” Francis Turner, who was among the crew clustered on the starboard side of the main deck, sprang forward as the name was given, but naval discipline restrained him from interfering with the roll-call. The reunion of the brothers took place later in the day. John Turner enlisted as a seaman of the Shenandoah, and the brothers were in the same watch, when a month Inter the ship made down the California coast and obtained from a passing Englishman information of the downfall of the Confederate government. He then headed for Liverpool, where she was surrendered to the British authorities, and eventually transferred to the United States. On the arrival at Liverpool the reporters and correspondents of British newspapers were busy in interviewing her officers and crew, and amomg the many narratives they obtained was that of the adv<fctures of the Turner brothers which was printed in the Liverpool Mercury , and in papers published at Newcastle and Leeds. A Lady on a Cowcatcher. Lady Macdonald in Murray's Magazine. “It is an awful thing to do!” I hear avoice say, as the little group lean forward; and for a momont I feel'a thrill that is very like fear; but it is gone at once,and I can tlji nk of nothing but the novelty, tha excitement and the fim of this mad ride in glorious sunshine and intoxicating air, with magnificent mountains before and around me, their lofty peaks smiling down on us, and never a frown on their grand faces. The pace quickens gradually, surely, swiftly, and then we are rushing up to the summit. We soon stand on the “Great Di vide” —5,300 feet above sea level—between the two great oceans. As we pass, Mr. E— by a gesture, points out a small river (called Bath creek, I think) which, issuing from a lake on the narrow summit level, winds near the track. I look, and lo! the water, flowing eastward toward the Atlantic side, turns in a moment as the divide is passed, and pours westward down the Pacific slope. Many tunnels lie in our way as we rush by them, and during a halt I am told one of the tunnels is “wet.” This being inter preted, means that the arching rock is full of springs, which pour on the train as it passes. An umbrella and waterproof are therefore necessary for me—now—sole occu pant of the cow-catcher; and with praise worthy economy I take off my hat, tuck it safely under my wraps and prepare to en counter the “wet” tunnel thus equipped. We plunge into a few moments’ darkness— water splashing and dripping on every side; and as we emerge into sunlight again and stop just beyond the tunnel, I see a party of young English sportsinon standing near the roadside. They have evidently just climbed the bank, guns in hand, leaving a large canoe with two Indian peddlers on the lake below. Fine, tall, 3'oung Saxons they are, in sporting at tire somewhat the worse for long travel, but very conventional in style notwith standing. Just imagine the feelings with which these well-regulated young men be held a lady, bareheaded and with on um brella, seated in front of an engine at the mouth of a tunnel in the Gold Range of British Columbia! I am sorely afraid I laughed outright at the blank amazement of their rosy faces and longed to tell them what fun it was; but not being “introduced, you know,” I contented myself with ac knowledging their presence by a solemn little bow—which was quito irresistible under the circumstances. A somewhat similar incident occurred next day during our journey in the volley of the Frazer river. The special stopped at a station where a mule train was just start ing for some distant gold mines, laden with miners’ supplies. It was very inter esting to soe the sturdy animals all packed and ready, standing in regular order, wait ing for the word of command from their dnver, which was instantly obeyed, all filing along at equal distances with the air of quadrupeds of superior intelligence, who had made up their minds to avoid hurry or confusion. It chanced to lie one of our halts at tea-time, and, as usual, my cup of tea and slice of bread-and-butter were brought to the buffer-beam. I had just t>een pre sented with two large boquets which lay in my lap. While I leisurely sipped my tea, there suddenly appeared before me a very’ thin, toll, melancholy looking American, having something to do with the pack train now slowly winding off through the moun tains. Never shall I forget the expression of that man’s face .-is he steadily regarded me, seated oomposisUy on the cow-catcher, surrounded with flowers, a plate of bread and-butter on a eundle-box near by, taking afternoon tea. To remain silent was impoe siblc. “Good evening,” I said. The mnn nodded and drew a long breath. “Have you come far I" lie asked, aftor a long pause. “From the other side of tho Kocnies,” I answered carelessly, ns if sjleaking of a stroll round a village; '‘throe hundred miles or SO.’ 1 “Dill you come tliut way down tho Thompson!” he next asked, a little anxi ously. “0 yes—and lam going to tho sea.” “You ain’t afraid likely!” ho continued, looking more melancholy than evor. “Not at all.” “Now lisik here,” ho said, pausing be tween each word, “if* real dangerous. I would not do this thing fora lot or money?” Then, thrusting his hands into his pockets with a civil “Good evening, Missis,” he dis appeared round the engine. ' Rough on Piles.” Why snffer piles?

Trid is jMkgttk About twenty years ago I diacovered a littJr sore on my cheek, and the doctors pr*-* Bounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, not without receiving any perma nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what 8. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before ( hail used the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been baa for two or three years—l haa a hacking cough ana spit blood contin ually. I hid a severe pain in ray breast. After taking six bottles of S. 8. S. my cough left, me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but! a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it la rapidly disappearing. I would ad via,’ every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial. Mrs. NANCY J.
