/2*L Herald and SUcertiser. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Dec. 23, 1887. ▲ SAILOR S TARN. In 1865 I waa one of the crew of the American bark Henry Castle, which made a voyage to the .Java Sea and called at several of the larger islands. One day, while the ship was lying in the outer harl)or of Samarang, Island of Java, two of us pulled the captain ashore in the gig. We landed him on a rocky point, from whence he took a short cut :icros« to the town, and were ordered to wait there until his return. My ship mate, whose name was Thurber, j stretched out for a nap as soon as the captain had gone, while I got out on the |x>iiit. to have a look around. The water was pretty deep alongside the boat, and by and hv. full of a sailor's deviltry, I picked up a large rock and heaved it into the water with a great splash. 1 calculated on seeing Thurber start up in alarm, but he only laughed at my effort. Then I set out to wet him with a splash, and flung five or six other rocks as large as I could handle. L was hunting for yet another, and had my back to the boat • and the water, when something brushed past my head. I made* a leap aside and wheeled around. In the two seconds thus occupied I decided tiiat Thurber had thrown some missile at me, and I laughed as 1 turned about. The laugh, however, died away in a shout of terror. An octopus with a body as large n.s a beer keg had risen to the ’ "surface and partly j ml led itself on the rocks, and its half dozen terrible arms were flying about like so many whip lashes. It had flung one of them at me and missed its aim. Although I was now thirty feet away, it continued to fling three or four feelers.in iny direction, but none of them could reacli within fifteen feet. The two longest arms were from fif teen to eighteen feet long, and the shorter ones from eight to ten. If 1 could have restrained myself for a few minutes the monster would no doubt have sunk lieneath the waters again, but the awful stare of its great eyes, the sight, of the terrible beak, the squirming of those horrible feelers as they tried in vain to touch me. made me cry out loudly. I might have known that I could make no headway against the monster with the means at hand, but. acting on the impulse of the moment, I picked up a good sized rock and flung it with certain aim at the pulpish body. It was at this moment that Thurber rose up in the boat Jp see what was going on. The creature didn’t see him at first, be ing entirely occupied in trying to get me into its clutches. 1 believe Thurber could have- pushed the boat off and floated away in safety, but he also acted on the first impulse. Lifting up one of the heavy oars lie dealt the octopus a heavy blow, no doubt inflicting severe injury. He was raising the oar for a second blow, when 1 saw three or four feelers whip through the air at once and fasten to him. while the creature emitted a hissing sound like the blowing off of steam. The man uttered a scream of fright and ter ror as the feelers caught him, and sank down in the boat and clung to a thwart with a (dutch of despair. Mind you, everything had taken place in a moment, and I wasn’t to be blamed for not knowing exactly what to d6. However, I perhaps accomplished all that could have been done under the cir- einnshmce. I hurled rock after rock at tiie creature, striking it fairly several times, but it ref us. d to let go of Thur- ber. L kept two of the feelers ready for mo. and once,*when in my excitement and anxiety I approached too near, one of the feelers came so close to catching me that it struck my foot. The screams of my poor shipmate were terrible to hear, and they alarmed the crews of several vessels half a mile away. Two boats put off for us, but they had not passed over half the distance when the petopus put forth his strength and jerked ’ Thurber from his hold and overboard. The water at that point was foventy feet deep, and it was Apparent that there was a sort of cave or recess in the rocks, which was the home of the creature. We rolled more rocks dowiq got a long pole and thrust it down, and after an hour’s work got hold of the sail or’s body and brought it to land. There was a terrible gash in his back. made, no doubt, by the beak of the octopus, and wherever the cups of the feelers had taken hold there were livid «i>ots and blisters, but neither the blood had been sucked out nor any of the flesh eaten. I do not think any effort of ours scared the creature into giving ujt the dead. It had retained its hold until certain that life had departed, and had, perhaps, clung to it the longer for our attempts. The na tives said that my heaving the stones into the water had annoyed the octopus and brought him up for a light, and that but for my action we should have seen noth ing of him. For over four years I was mate and master of a small schooner plying be tween the Spice islands and -Singapore, in the interest of an American trader. 1 off by the blows. There were three or four feet of it, and for a time it squirmed and twisted about tjie deck like a snake. It had touched the man’s flesh only in one spot on the back of the hand, but he j made as touch ado over it is one would i a bullet in the leg. It was a horrible wound, however. The flesh was puck ered up and blistered, and the spot where j the cup had taken hold looked like an erysipelas sore. It was a long four weeks before the .wound healed, and the | scar left closely resembled that of a burn. I had the sailor in the cabin dressing his hand, and it was twenty minutes after we had beaten off the octopus, when j there was another cry from the deck, and I heard the men run forward anil tumble ; into the fore-castle and slide the cover. .More from instinct than any thought of danger 1 closed the cabin door, then the skylight which lighted the ca! in. There was a slide door in the forecastle bulk head communicating with the hold, and also one from the cabin. After two or three minutes the sailors came climbing over the cargo—we being about one-third full—and I let them into the cahin. I never saw a more frightened lot of men, and I could not at first believe the story they told. They said that when the oc topus fell into the water he swam off in the direction of a rocky reef on our port quarter, and distant about 200 feet. Afier a few minutes the men notiqed a considerable commotion in the water, and this gradually approached. All at once they made out live or six octopuses at the vessel’s side, and before they drew back and ran away the monsters were throwing their feelers over the low bul warks. “There’s one of ’em, sir—there's one!” shouted the mate at this moment, anil we turned to the skylight to see three or four of the horrible feelers playing over it, At the same moment the schooner was canted to port with a sudden pull all of three streaks, or with as much force as a strong puff of wind would have ex ercised in the open sea. At tills move ment all the natives broke out in a yell of affright, and, as I sternly rebuked them, cne of them exclaimed: “Oh! Captain, the devil fish have come aboard, and not one of us can escape!” There was no longer any doubt that we were beset by the creatures. There was not a second in which tiie feelers were not playing over the skylight, and others could l>e beard fastening to and dragging things aljout the deck. As the entire affair was afterward put in writing, sworn to by every man on board, and left with the representative of the British government at Surahava, Island of Java, 1 shall not hesitate here to state particu lars. The noise on deck might be likened to a row between four or five men. Everything movable was being moved and flung about. My skylight had a hard wood frame and heavy glass, and the feelers found very little to grasp. The noise made as the cups fastened to ihe glass by suction and let go again was like tiie snap of a pair of pincers. Looking from the bull’s eye in the stern I could see that the water was all in a commo- up and we were clear or tne Day. As to tiie strength of an octopus, I will tell you what four or five of us once saw at one of the spice islanda There was • yawl floating astern of a small trading schooner anchored off the beach. I was on the schooner talking with the captain, and his crew of five men were all on deck, when an octopus rose on the piwt side of the yawl and flung three of his tentacles into it We 6aw everything from the first move. The arms, sliding about, found nothing to lay hold of, and then, as if the octopus was indignant at his ill luck, he capsized the yawl in a twinkling. The water was not over twelve filet there, and, getting a hold on tiie rocks, he pulled the yawl astern until he broke the painter, which was a new inch rope. The strength displayed in that movement tvas equal to-that of a draught horse, but he was not using more than a third of his power.—New York Sun. Cegai Hotices. Letters of Dismission.

Tliis was the schooner’s regular Armament, for we were continually among suspicious peo ple. I let the men take their choice of weapons, and then divided our force and sent half the number back to the fore castle, from which they could open the attack at a signal. Then I carefully slid back the door of the companion to get a look on deck. The sight was one no man could ever forget. If there was one octopus on the port rail their were a dozen, and if there was one feeler twist ing and squirming around the decks there were forty. They were twisted about everything and pulled at everything. Every coil of rope was off its pin and The Condor of South America. “If the governments of Chili and of other South American countries hail paid a bounty of $5 a head for dead condors thirty years ago. as I understand they do now,” said the representative of a New York leather house. “I could have made a fortune in the course of a few months, and had a heap of fun doing it. Con dors were plenty, all along the Chilian const, at any fate, as far back as 1S51, anil during the few months that I was in that country I found out a good ileal about them, and could have made $100 a day. “'ihe appearance of a hawk circling about in tiie air over a poultry yard will riot till a brood of chickens with more terror and excitement than will the shadow of a condor on the wing carry tc a herd of cattle feeding on a Chilian plain, as the great vulture sweeps down from his eyrie in the pathless Andes to seize his prey. The condor, unlike other mem bers of the vulture family, doesn’t wait for something or somebody to die in order that he may have his dinner, but if he don t find a ready made carcass conven ient .on the plain when he is hungry hjs proceeds at once to provide the carcass himself. The herds of cattle that pasture on the undulating plains lying between the impenetrable wall of the Andes and the Pacific’s white crested line of surf offer the condor unrivaled facilities for carcass making, and, as he is in a state of chronic hunger, this king of the feathered race levies constant tribute on the grazing herds. Thirty years ago it was no uncommon sight to see a thousand of these winged freebooters hovering over the plains, each one ravenous and deter mined as a dinner robber from the scamp ering. terror stricken, bellowing herds below. The condor was then, as he is now in a less degree, the greatest enemy the stock raiser in that portion of South America had to contend with, and it was his persistent and destructive raids on grazing cattle that made him an outlaw with a price on his head, to be relent lessly hunted even among the many crags and cloud capped craters where he makes his home.”—Ed.

Peculiar Kinds of Leather. The use of kangaroo skins for leather has come rapidly into fashion within a year or two, and those animals, which being dragged and whipped about in the j were once regarded as a nuisance in wildest fashion, and from the motion of the schooner one could not but think the monsters were trying to capsize her. I did not have more than thirty seconds’ time to glance around before three or four feiders shot at me at once, and I- closed the Slide not a second too soon to avoid them. Jt "as death in its most horrible form to put foot on the deck, and I sent word to the men in the forecastle not to at tempt any movement. I was in hopes that if we remained quiet the creatures would tire themselves out anil »;o away after awhile, and we spoke in whispers and moved about as softly as possible. They had come aboard of us about G o’clock in the morning, anil at 10 o’clock were still there, though for the last half hour the noise on deck hail been less. Tliis was accounted for by the fact that almost everything movable had gone overboard. There was not at that time a belaying pin, capstan bar, stick of fire wood, oar or loose rope left on board. Tbe scuttle butt, which no sea sweeping over us-could dislodge, had been wrenched from its fastenings and rolled from stem to stern a dozen times. Blankets which the men had brought up the previous evening had been rent and torn in all sorts of shapes as the horrid arms pulled Australia, are now prized and sought for. Porpoise leather is also a commodity largely in demand, and a man or woman weaiing a costly pair of shoes cannot well be sure, nowadays, whether the material camp from the Australian, bush, the South seas or the back of a Texas steer,—New York Sun, do not think I made a single trip without at them. The tarpaulins had been torn seeing from one to a dozen of the horrible devil fish. One day in the Bvanda sea it fell dead calm, and a current drifted us close in upon an island to the north of the Lesser Timor. W e let go the anchor in a little bay. and when the schooner brought up she was in twelve feet of water and within fifty feet of the beach from the hatches and dragged about, and had not the hatch covers been securely hooked they would certainly have been wrenched off. Shortly after 10 o’clock I slid back the door to secure another look. It seemed as if some of the creatures were gone: at least there were not so manv arms t vist- Zulu Hymn and Tunc Book. Rev. C. W.
