LOST 0N_AN ISLAND.
9 REMARKABLE ADVENTURK8 OP TIIH
crew op tup. smr rainier— a
BRIDAL Tllir TO UJAE ISLAND.
Among tlio passengers who landed nt
Bnn Francisco from tho Pacific Mail
stonmor ltio do Janeiro wero tho captain,
captain’s daughter, mate and pnrt of the
crow of tho American ship Rainier,
which was wrecked in Janunry last on
one of the islands of tho Marshall
group. Oaptain Morrison is a native
and resident of Rath, Maine, is atypi
cal New Englander, and has heenamas-
ter in tho American merchant marine
for tho past twenty-eight years. Seat
ing himself opposite the reporter the
skipper spun Ins yarn as follows:
Tho ship Rainier was ns tidy a ornft
ns a sonmnu could wish to handlo, and it
is enough to make nny man sad to think
of her liolug lost on her first voyago and
without oven being insured for quite
ono-tliird of her cost. I was part owner
in hor, superintended her building and
took her around from Rath to Philadel
phia, from which port she had a charter
for a cargo of coal oil to Hiogo, Japan.
My first mute, Mr. Humphreys, was en
gaged to my daughter and they were
married in Rath on tho day before the
Rainier was to sail, and reached Phila
delphia just in time the next morning,
for I had promised my daughter she
should make hor bridal trip on tho now
ship.
Everything wont woll, and our voy
age promised to be a short and ploasant
one, for wo had got around tho Cape of
Good Hope all right and were bawling
beforo the trades at a fine rate. On the
2d of Jnnnury last we were off tho Ra-
liok group of the Marshall Islauds, in
nbout longitude 164 degrees east and
latitude 9 degrees north. Our course
lay ton miles eloar of tho nearest island,
over water that was given on tho charter
ns free of reefs, ami wo lind not the
slightest idea of danger, when nt 9.30
p. m. we suddenly struok and stuck fast
on a hidden roof. There was only a
slight breeze at tho time and tho non was
smooth, so there wore no breakers to toll
us of the unknown rooks ahead. As it
was very dark and ns there was no im
mediate danger of tho ship’s breaking
up, 1 determined to wait until daylight
and see if I oouhl not get my ernft
afloat onoe more. In the meantime wo
E rovisioned the boatsandgol everything
l shape for a hasty leave Inking if li;
should prove neoessary. T< ward morn
ing it oame on to blow and (ho sea rose
rapidly, shoving the ship further up on
tho reef and at times breaking clear ovor
ns. As soon as it was broad daylight I
mode out that we had struok on a reef
that inclosed a lnrgo lagoon; that it was
still water within a couple of hundred
yards from where we lay, and that there
was a low island Bomo ten miles to tho
oast of us. Not knowing anything about
the natives in those waters, we made up
our minds to stiok to the ship as long as
possible and then to trust to our boats
and a passing ship, rather than venture
on laud. Just before noon a high soa
broke over her stern, lifted the Rainier
up and dropped her on the rooks so hard
that she stove in her bottom and listed
off shore.
We had already noticed some canoes
coming toward us across the still wators
of the lagoon, and by tho time the ship
stove in thoy were close aboard and mak
ing friendly signals to us. As there
wero only a few of the nntives and wo
numbered twenty-eight, all told, wo de
termined to get into our boats and pull
into the lagoon through on inlet they
pointed out. This was accomplished
without any worse mishap than a wet
ting, although our boats were loaded as
deep as we dared have them. Onoe in
side the reef we held a consultation and
as the natives seemed to be so kindly
disposed, decided to make for the island.
Quite a number of canoes had gathered
about us by this time and the natives
voluntarily took us in tow and pulled us
to their island home. On landing we
Were hospitably recoived by the King
and given two large huts to live in—one
for my daughter and the offioers and
the other lor the men. From that time
till the end of our stay we were always
treated kindly, and I nave nothing but
good words to say of those savages and
their tiny island. It proved to be the
Island of Ujae, and you oan soaroely
imagine a queerer little patch in the
ocean than that. Ujae, which lies at
the Southeast end of a lagoon some
thirty miles long and whioh is more
than thirty miles distant from the
island, is a mile and a half long, at most,
and cerbvinly not more than a quarter of
a mile wide. The inhabitants, oopper-
colored Kanakas, number about seventy-
five, of whom some fifteen are young
sters and the remainder pretty equally
divided between males and females. Be
fore describing the people however, I
might say that the island has no eleva
tion to speak of and rises very little, if
anything, more than three feet above
high tide.
If not protected by the reef on whioh
we struck everything on the island
would be washed away in a heavy gale,
but as it is it is as safe as though it was
looked in an island harbor. The soil is
pretty thin, but for all that the island is
covered with vegetation of one kind and
another, suoh os cocoa and breadfruit
trees and wild arrowroot, although the
salt air and poor soil prevent the growth
of the tender plants that we depend
upon for food. The natives have no
gardens, nor plant anything of
any kind, and couldn’t be made to un
derstand what we were doing when we
made an attempt with beans and pota
toes. These vegetables took root, but
for all the care we gave them they
withered before the tops were a foot
high.
As you wish to know about tho na
tives, I will-say that they seem to be a
good-natured and contented lot, al
though they are certainly the most ig
norant pooplo I ever saw. The children
nyear no clothes at all, and the men and
women arc completely naked except for
a narrow mat whioh is worn around tho
hips, and which they aro not always
particular to adjust after tho most
modest fashion. On the other hand,
they are proper enough in their cou-
duot, and during our stay with them we
buw no evidences of immorality, al
though I and my mate kept n sharp
eye upon both tho natives and our men.
The young girls marry early in life, and
are apparently well treated by their
husbands. None of the men ore allowed
to have more than one wife, except tho
King and his two sons, ench of whom
has two wives. The Kiug, years before,
had come in contact with some sailors
on ono of the trading islands, so ho
talked n few words of pigeon English,
and colled himself Elijah Block. Still
he knew absolutely nothing of the out
side world, except that mon-of-war nro
things to be dreaded.
His government is a mild-mannered
despotism, to whioh his subjects bow
without grumbling, so far as we could
sco. Every day the mon bring him
such provisions ns they have gathered
from land or sea and he takes what ho
wishes for himself and fnmily. If ho or
his son8 wanted anything belonging to
auy of the people, 1 noticed that they
took it os n matter of course and that tho
owner surrendered it without nny open
expression or discontent.. In that way
royalty managed to confiscate many of
the things that wo gave to tho natives.
These latter eagerly accepted anything
wo offered them and wore especially
pleasod with anything in tho shape of
clothing, giving in return wlintever thoy
had in tho way of eatables. Tho fun
niest thing I ever saw was a oouplo to
whom I gave a paper collar and an old
pnir of cuffs. Tho woman put tho collnr
around hor nock, nnd tho man fastened
the cuffs around his nnklos, nnd then
they marched off in nil their nnkedness.
Thoro are no animals on tho island, ex
cept a fow chickens that wore imported
from some lavger island, to which thoy
were brought by trading ships. Tho
consequence is that the natives know
nothing of food in the shape of flesh,
and live mainly upon a paste nnwlo of
wild arrowroot nnd oocoanut, upon
breadfruit nnd upon an occasional feast
of fish. At tho dark of tho moon they
go out nt night upon the lagoon in their
canoes, in which they carry flaring
torches. Tho lights attraot the flying
fish, and with dig-nets in.tho water nnd
spread across the boats they manage to
catch a good mnny. This is the only
way thoy hnvo of fishing, and ns thoy
am only employ it on dark nights theru
nre long times between bolls.
The only thing wo saw in tho way of
religious ceremonies wero at tho ohnugos
of the moon, when tho chief men go
through n queer sort of danoo, or series
of quivering jnovemonts, without mov
ing from the spot on whioh they stand.
Meanwhile the womon make a hideous
noise by beating on wooden drums, nnd
othor people stand around the plnoo
with bright torches burning. As wall
as we oould understand their explnua-
tion, this performance was intended to
soaro the evil spirits from tho island.
Ujae is so small that it does not attract
the traders, and ns vessels never touch
there, the people wero totally unac
quainted with white faces and customs
until we came among them. The nntu-
rnl result was that thoy watched ns
with tho keonest curiosity, and tho wo
men wero especially inquisitive about
my daughter’s dress and habits. This
Bort of thing was annoying nt times, but
it was so natural that wo could not
afford to bo really angry about it. Taken
all in all, thoy nre tho happiest, most in
dolent and kindest savages I have ever
seen or read nbout.
As soon as we were housed we set
nbout making preparations for our ro-
tnm to civilization, and to that end
industriously gathered everything wo
oould in tho way of salvage from the
wreck. A great deal of driftage was
washed over the reef into tho lagoon, nnd
from the water and tho hulk itself wo
gathered material to build and rig a lit
tle vessel of our own. As Ujno is about
throe thousand miles distant from nny
continent, we had no idea of mnking
such far-ofl lands in a boat of our own
construction, our only intention being
to reaoh the larger islands where traders
touch. Meanwhile, it wns well to mako
an effort to oatoh a pnssing ship as soon
ns possible, as our provisions could not
last forevor, and as wo lacked all sorts of
comforto and necessaries. Wo had no
medioinoB nor forks nor plates, and a
host of other things were missing, to say
nothing of the fact that the native food
wu« scarcely suited to our civilized
palates and stomnohs. The second mate
and four men volunteered to take the
long-boat and make an effort to reaoh
Jalut. an island some hundred miles
distant, where two German trading
houses were established. I provided
them with a chart of the oourse, with
nautieal instruments and with water and
provisions for twenty days, and they sot
sail on the 10th of January.
Alter they had gone we prisoners on
the island oommenced to build a
sohooner, and got it finished about the
middle of March. She proved to bo a
neat little eraft and quite seaworthy, al
though not exactly of a size whioh one
would ohoOee for a long voyage. Her
dimensions were 40 feet in length, 9 in
beam and 5 in depth of hold, and she
was decked all over. On tho 15th of
Maroh our steward died of dropsy, aud
this oast a gloom over the party. The
trouble and worry had already made mo
siok, but I sailed in the sohooner on
March 18, taking with me eleven of the
orew and two natives to act as pilots,
leaving my daughter with her husband,
the mate, and nine men on the Island.
We thought it best that she should not
risk the sea in such a craft, aud besides,
were all the time hoping thnt help
might be brought by the volunteers
who had sailed in the long-boat. Wo
had to best up against the northeast
monsoon to Jalut, but reached there oil
safe on March 24. We found there a
German in one of tho two trading
houses, who held the position of Ameri
can Consular ageut, and to him I ap
plied for assistance. A schooner was
just sailing for Hong Kong, and he
shipped ten of my meu by hor, the
other one volunteering to stay with mo,
os I had become partially paralyzed ami
hod almost entirely lost my speeoh. I
mode repeated efforts to get that Con
sular agent to send medicines and pro
visions to my people in Ujao, but he
declined, on the ground that his house
could not afford to lose the time that it
would take for one o 1 their schooners to
go there. Then I tried the other house,
but they deolined to render any assist
ance. I was beginning to despair when
one day a yacht reached Jalut from an
other island on which lives King
Kaborra, or Kiug John, who is the chief
mission to carry medicines and pro
visions to my people and to bring them
over to Jalut. By this time I was bed-
riddon, but i managed things through
the aid of my sailor lad, who volun
teered to sail with tho Lottie. I bought
the necessary outfist from the Germans
with $350 borrowed from them nt five
per cent, a month, my schooner, chro
nometer and nautical instruments being
held by them ns security. Tho Lottio
sailed with Willis Jackson on board and
n handsome present of tobacoo nnd
othor trifles for King Kaborra. Subse
quently I heard from .Tnokson, by a
trading schooner, that tho Lottie nnd
sailed for Ujae, but I novor saw or
hoard of him again, although 1 have
every renson to believo that he is all
right. Ho reached Ujao too lnte, and
must havo then returned to Joint, where
I left my nautical instruments tor him.
As he is a Bath boy and a competent
nnvigntor, ho is sure to get along all
right whether ho stays for awhile among
tho islands or returns by way of Hong
Kong on the i?rst schooner from Jalut,
for which amMigcmonts wero made
boforo wo left.
Now comes tho Bi'ory of how we wero
rescued from our is’and prison. Tho
second mnto and his /our men in tho
long-boat left Ujno, os I 'vave said, on
January 10. After several days had
been spent in an unsuccessful Attempt to
bent up to Jalut tho boat was heiuled
for Ulan, or Armstrong Island, and
whou just in sight of that plaoe the crow
woro picked np by the British bark CdV-
umnn. Tho weather had been pretty*
rough nnd the mon wero completely
exhausted by tho experience to whioh
thoy had beou subjected. The boat
shipped water almost constantly in tho
head soa aud tho poor fellows had to
bale for their lives, notwithstanding
whioh fact they had stnek to their
effort to ronoh tho nearest point from
whioh help could bo oxpeoted for tho
shipwrecked lady nnd sailors, whereas
the labor Rud weather-wear would not
liavo been half so great had they only
looked out for thomsolvos and kopt lie-
fore the wind. Ono of them died shortly
after being rescued by the bark. For
threo days that British enptnin tried to
bent up to Ujao, but he found it im
possible to make any headway against
tho wind nnd sea, and finally squared
off for Haigon, his port of destination.
From that port my men wore forwarded
by steamer to Hong Kong, whioh plw-o
they reached about two mouths nftev
leaving Ujae. Tho mate explained our
condition to Gonornl Mosby, onr Consul
nt Hong Kong, and ho immediately tolo-
graphed tho particulars to the American
Admiral at Shanghai and asked that a
vessel be sont to our relief. The Ad
miral telegraphed to Canton ordering
the sloop-of-war Essex to got under way
nt once nnd reach Ujno ns soon as pos
sible. Tho Essex picked up tho second
mnto nt Hong Kong and mndo her east
ing to Nngnsnki, Japan, whore sho
coaled qniokly and started for our
island, lie milling Ujao on April 11,
the Essex picked up my people, made
a survoy of tho roof and steamed for
Jalut, where tho rest of us woro sup
posed to bo, ronching thoro on tho 18th,
It isn’t necessary for mo to toll you how
I felt when that man-of-war enmo in

The New Torpedo Boat,
EXPERIMENTS HKRUT.TINO SUCCESSFULLY—
HOW IT IS INTENDED TO HE WORKED.
The now pattern of torpodo boat man
ufactured in Now Haven, Ot., which is
being exhibited at a romoto station in
Milford .Ray to officials representing the
United States government, has just
passed through a succession of night
tests very satisfactorily, and will be
shortly taken to New York where it will
bo worked from tho Sandy Hook gov
ernment experiment station with torpe
does in blowing up the dilapidated hull
of a large ship. This new torpedo bont
outwardly presonts tho features common
to such craft, but its internal arrango-
ments are known only to the inventors.
It is a long boiler iron tube, sharpened
at either end and worked by a screw
propeller. Tho motivo power is elec
tricity, which is conducted aboard by
wires from tho battery at the station. It
ts also steerod by elootrioity. Tho op
erator, by pressing a button, though tho
bont bo a mile at son, has nbsolnto con
trol over it. The torpedo is nffixod to
tho stern nnd tho momentum of the boat
nttnehos it to tho object to bo destroyed,
when it is exploded by elootrioity. Ono
great desideratum in the new bont is
the freedom from danger to those oper
ating tho warfare. It carries no orew,
being governed entirely by the electrio
ourreut from the wires.
Daring the night experiments a red
light was placed at the prow and a white
one higher aft, and her position nnd
oourse wore determined by these lights.
In night warfare suoh lights would be
concealed from tho enemy by iron boards
plaoed over them and open only on the
side next the operating station. The
boat will run for a mile or more as fast
as a first class ocean steamer. It prom
ises to be in demand with our govern
ment, and Franoe has already ordered a
consignment of them.
Charles Rarnard has contributed to
tho July St. Nicholas a very graphic ac
count of Rartholdi’s great Statue of
Liberty, from which we mnke the fol
lowing extract: “In tho first place,
there had to bo a sketch or model. This
was a figure of the statue in clay, to
give on idea of how it would look. Tho
public approved of this model, and then
the first real study of the work was
made—a plaster statuo, just one-Bix-
teeuth tlie size of the intended statue,
“Tho noxt stop was to make another
model just four times as large, or one-
fourth tho sizo of tho real statuo. This
quarter-size model being finished, then
came the task of making the full-size
model in plaster. But this had to be
made in sections. For instance, the
first section would inoludo tho base on
whioh the figure stood, tho foot, and
tho hem of tho garment. The next sec
tion would include a circle quite round
tho long flowing dress, just above tho
hem. Tho third section would stand
above this and show more of tho folds
of tho dress, and reach part way up to
tho kneo. In like manner, tho whole
figure would Vie divided into sootious.
“Tho quarter-sizo model was first
divided in this way, and then to lay out
tho full-sizo plan it was only necessary
to make a plan of each section four
times as largo as the section notually
wits in tho model. Every part of the
model wns covored with marks or dots
for guides, nnd by moosuriug from dot
to dot, increasing tho measurement
four times, ami then transferring it to
tho larger modol, an exact copy just
four times ns largo wns made. For
each of these largo sections, howovor,
tliorc bnd to be a support of some kind,
beforo the plaster conJd bo laid on.
Having marked on tho floor an outlino
plnu of tho enlarged section, a woodou
frame-work was built up inside tho
plan. Thon upon this framo-work
piaster was roughly spread. It soon
resembled, in a rudo way, the corre
sponding seotion of the quarter-sizo
model, but four times ns largo. Then
tho workmen copied in this pilo of
plnHter every feature of tho model seo
tion, measuring nnd measuring, again
and again, from dot to dot, correcting
by meant* of plumb-lines, and patiently
trying and retrying till an exact oopy—
only in proportions four timos as largo
-was attaf/icd.
“The great irregularity of tho drapery
made it necessary to put three hundred
mnrks on cnch soction, besides twelve
hundred smnller guide-marks, in order
to insure an oxnct correspondence in
proportion botweon tho enlarged sec
tions of tho fnll-Bize model and tho sec
tions of tho quarter-size model. Eaoh
of those marks, moreover, had to be
measured threo timos on both models
and after that como all the remeasure
meets to prove that not a.singlo mistake
had boon made.
“When these seotions in plastor had
keen oomploted, '/hen camo tho work of
nailing wooden molds that should be
exact .conics both in size and modeling
of tho piaster. Tlicso woro all carefully
rnado by* baud. It was long, tedious
and difficult,- Eaoh piece was a mold
of a part of the statue, exaotiy fitting
every projection, depression and ourvo
of thnt portion of tile figure or drapery,
Into those wooden molds sheets o'
niotal wore laid, and pressed or beaten
down till they fitted tho irregular sur
faces of tho molds. All tho repousse, or
hammered work, was done from the
back, or inside, of tho shoet. If the
mold is an exact copy of a part of the
statue, it is easy to see tln\t the sheet of
metal, when made to fit it, will, when
taken out and turned over, be a oopy of
thnt part of the stntue.
“Those sheets wero of cupper, and
each was from ouo to threo yartte square,
Eaoh formed a part of tho bronze statuo
and of course no two woro alike.
“In this complicated manner,
making first a sketch, then a quarter
size modol, then a full-size model in
sections, then hundreds of wooden
oopies, and lastly by beating into shape
three hundred sheets of copper, the
enormous statue was finished. These
throe hnndrod bent and hammered
plates, weighing in all eighty-eight tons,
form the outside of tho statue. They
are very thin, uuil whilo they fit each
other perfectly, it is quite plain that if
thoy wero put together in their proper
order they would never stand alone.
These hammered sheets make the out
side of the statue ; but there must bo
also a skeleton, a bony strnoture inside,
to hold it together. This is of iron
beams, firmly riveted together, and
making a support to whioh the copper
shell oan be fastened.”

OUR RAILROAD INTERESTS.
The Railroads In the Country nnd the
Milc» of New Ilond Built Last Ycnr.
The New York Herald in a lengthy
articlo on our railroad interests says;
The future of our railroads is not dark;
on the contrary, even npon the present
condition of affairs, substantial pros
perity may be predicated. What may
now appear to be useless roods havo
been built, but as time goes on even
these may be wanted; others have been
constructed long in advance of their
need. On the whole, it may be said
that the railroad mileage of the country
is insufficient. Many miles of railroad
must be built each year, and, while
some prove unprofitable ventures, by far
tho largest part will be needed. Tho
yeur 1883 oould not bo regarded as
offering conditions favorable to railway
construction, and what wns built was
probably called for by the needs of the
population. The following is the total
ndded to our mileage last year:

Summer Dresses.
The summer dresses seen on tho city
streets during the month of June
ore of the simplest design and materials,
and owing to the great heat, full
dress is soarooly worn even at elabor
ate entertainments. The slaco mohair
dresses with wide Hercules braid, or
with black or blue velvet trimmings, are
Been in the palest French gray shados
for driving toilettes, at tho races, at
church, and also at day receptions.
These are most often imported dresses,
os Worth and other Pans modistes de
light in this lustrous fabric, and make
them up with a great deal of white lace
about the corsage, and add to them a
bonnet of white lace, with a little gray
velvet on the brim, and some gray tips,
or a marabout nigrette. This delioate
combination of gray and white makes a
very refined nnd summery costume, but
only the palest clear shades of gray must
be used, ns the deep steel tints havo an
elderly look. Sometimes a trimming of
silver beads is used to form a plastron
or a vest, and there may be rows of large
cut beads ncross a velvet vest, or else
many rows of drooping friuge-like orna
ments that lap over each other and give
a Bolid effect. A white Valonoiennes or
Oriental plastron fully gathered at the
throat is nlso liked in these pale gray
dresses. The mushroom shades are
next most in favor, and may be of the
mohair, with velvet of a darkor golden
brown, or else with the contrast of dark
maroon-red velvet for the vest, collar,
bracelet-like cuffs and for cross-bands on
the left side of the lower skirt, where it
is disclosed by the opening of the upper
skirt, and also a broad velvet revers
down the right side, where it joins the
book drapery. Other mohair dresses
are made in the severe tailor styles, with
merely rows of stitehiug for trimming,
or else they are combined with a little
watered silk that appears only in the
skirt nt the foot, and on the left side in
hollow organ pleats, and in some narrow
(inch wide) folds that form the cuffs nnd
collar. A piping fold of white moire
may be added inoide gray silk folds, .or
of bright coquelioot red in the neok and
| sleeves of mushroom-colored dresses,—

Risks of a Soldier’s Life.
Rut what, alter all, are the risks to
life in n battle such as Waterloo ? Wo
can form some notion of this by a sort
of nuatogy, if wo aro oontent to accept
tho Btatoment of Marshal Saxe, said to
ho a high authority on suoh matters,
who lays it down ns a truth, thnt for
each mnn killed in Hattie tho weight of
an nverngod-sized man is expended in
lend. This is said to hnvo boon verified
at Solferino, where tho Austrians fired
8,400,000 rounds, nnd killed 2,000 of the
enemy, whioh gives 4,200 rounds per
man killed. Taking n bullet at one
ounce weight, we havo 4,200 ounces, or
over eighteen stone—about equal to one
averago nmn nnd a linlf; so the Marshal
was under the mark. If these figures
aro reliable it would seem that in battles,
as with pngnacious dogs, there is noiso
out of all proportiou to the amount of
damage done.—Chambers' Journal,
