A SOUTH SEA ROMANCE.
The Mutiny Long Ago on the Bounty,
a British Man-of-war.
Who has not heard of the mutiny of
the Bounty? The romance of it still
lingers from one end of the Pacific to
the other. The descendants of the mu¬
tineers of the British man-of-war and
their dusky wives are living and bear
English names made famous, or in¬
famous, more than a century ago.
The British man-of-war had gone to
Tahiti. The commander, Blythe, was
harsh and cruel to his men. The
women of Tahiti loved the fair skinned
sailors and sought to hide them from
Blythe, their oppressor, but they were
captuied, and the ship sailed away,
in but command only to return. When it Christian! returned’,
was Fletcher mutineers!
midshipman, and a score of
The brute Blythe and his loyal com¬
panions had been set adrift in an open
boat. Marvelous to relate, after trav¬
ersing thousands of miles of open
ocean they reached the Australian
coast. Here they found a haven of
refuge at a British outpost. For twen¬
ty years all trace of Fletcher Christian
and his companions was lost, although
searching expedition after expedition
was sent to Tahiti by the British gov¬
ernment.
Each of the mutineers save the re¬
morseful Fletcher Christian took unto
himself a wife. As it meant death
to their husbands to live in Tahiti,
they helped the men they loved to man
the boat that bore them away to seek
some desert island. After sailing for
many days in the extreme southern
tripica 1 sea the rock of ritcairn arose
before them.
Twenty years later a British mer¬
chantman sighted by chance the lone
rock in the southern Pacific and sent
a boat ashore. To the astonishment of
the crew, dusky men and women ran
down to the beach to welcome them in
their own tongue and claimed to be
“English.” Only one old man among
them, Adams, of pure British blood
still survived. He was found, Bible
in hand, teaching in the little Sunday
school which he had built and where
he had educated the children of the
colony and taught them the tenets of
the Christian faith.
When the news reached England a
British man-of-war was sent for the
last of the mutineers of the Bounty.
Aboard was a king’s pardon for
Adams, so that, after all, he died a
British subject, surrounded by his
dusky children and grandchildren. The
colony was then removed from the
faraway southern isle to Tahiti, but
homesickness overcame its members,
and they returned to the verdant
rock.—New Idea Magazine.
How Attraction Acts.
Attraction acts very curiously. Thus
if there were a man in the moon and
if he were like the men on the earth
he -would be able to leap over a three
storied house with as much ease as |
an ordinary jumper springs over a
three foot fence in consequence of the
forces of attraction being much less
at the moon’s surface than at the
earth’s. An elephant there would be
as light footed as the deer here. A
boy throwing stones might easily land
them in an adjoining county. On the
other hand, the reverse of all this
would happen in Jupiter or Saturn.
They being so much greater than the
earth, their attraction would so im¬
pede locomotion that a man would
scarcely be able to crawl, and large
animals would be crushed by their
own weight.
In the Land of Windmills.
The Dutch when they invite you,
and they are not a guest seeking race,
are extremely hospitable and make
you at once welcome. Sometimes,
however, when it comes to dinner,
their active hospitality demands an en¬
ergetic recognition. The table is laid
with piles of plates before each chair.
On your first visit the spoons und forks
are heavy silver, the knives of the
finest steel and ivory. You never,
however, eat with them again. Vi hen
you have been shown that a family
possesses them that ends it. iou eat
thereafter from everyday ware.
“What would the silver be like for
our descendants if we used it often ?
an old lady asked me. “What would
we have if our ancestors had been
careless?”—Eva Madden in Harpers
Bazar.
