THE DAILY

TREE ISLAND,

By JOHN BLOUNDELLE-BURTON.

{[Copyright, 1899, by J n Bloundelle-Bur- Continued.)

The marizies and the king’s sailors smniled scoftingly at this remark, or at least I think they meant to do so, and the sailors of the trading vessels assum- ed avery superior look, as much as to say, we are the real sailors who plow strange distant and visit faroff savage lands, and he himself, a rugged, weather beaten, scar faced man, who had lost three fingers of his left hand, lit again his pipe, took one more great gulp of his rum and then proceeded with his story. And I, a gaping boy— though now, as I write this

£Feas

down, a

| man and the captain of my own ship,

trading between the port of London and the Indies—was not his least spell- bound listener.

‘It was more nor15 years agone,” he now proceeded to tell us. ‘‘being, as I afterward heard, the very year when old King George I—whese memory I drink—died, that we was a-making for Cambodia, in the gulf of Siam, where we was trading for rice, or was in hopes of trading for rice, in exchange for the English goods and stuffs we had on board. Our vessel, the Loving Friend, was a ship about 240 tons burden, and we carried 11 guns and 29 men, besides the master, his wife and his boy, me being the bos’n. We had been out from the port of Bristol more nora year

and a half, a-trading in and out during |

all that time, exchanging with one country the goods what we took in an- other, but always keeping together many bales of English stuff, which we purposed to exchange at the last port at which we meant tu trade, which was the port of Cambodia. Well, we was a-making for the gulf of Siam, or as 1 should tell you, shipmates all, for the China sea, we having come away from New Guinea and the Papons, with whom we'd done a little trading in beads and colored cloths. We was

through the Sooioo sea and likewise the |

Mindoro sea, and observing easy the is- land of Palawan a-lying north north- east, and being then in about the lati- tude of 7 degrees 15 minutes, and steer- ing away northeast by east, with a good 500 miles of open sea before us. By good fortune for us the rains, that last in these latitudes from May till August, was over, and the hot air of these here regions was tempered by the gentle wind that was a- blowing from the south- west and a-taking us easy on our course. By good fortune I say, mates all, for we had lost three on our men by the calenture, two more was down.with it, and one man had been washed over- board, so that the ship was worked short handed, and a boon to us it were to get that breeze a-blowing up off the tops of the great mountain ridge that runs through the island of Borneo.

‘‘So this way we was six good hands short, and the more and more did our skipper thank heaven—for a right God fearing man was he, a Quaker by birth, and his grandfather having suffered much at the hands of that cruel and bloody tyrant, King James II, who pos- sessed no virtue but that he was a bold sailor—that the breeze did day by day hold fair, and that so the ship asked not much working.

‘“‘But comrades all a-sitting round this good sea coal fire, knowed ye ever the time, specially 1n them seas, if so be as how some on ye bas ever sailed so

The clouds have hardly held more rain drops than the tears which have fallen from women’s eyes. There isa world of truth in the old song which said: ‘‘Man must work, and woman must weep.’’ Women must weep not only for the troub- les and ills of those they love, but because of the physical ag- ony and suffering that they them- “selves endure in silence.

Nine-tenths of the pain and suf.- fering that wo- _men undergo could be avoided = by a little knowl- edge, and a resort to the right remedy. When a woman feels weak, sick, nervous, fretful and despondent, and suffers from pains in the back and sides, and burning and dragging down sensations, she is suf- fering from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for ailing women. It acts di- rectly and only on the delicate and import- ant organs that make maternity possible. It makes them strong and well. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain, and tones the nerves. It does away with the usua! discomforts of the timorous period, and makes baby’s coming easy and almost painless. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful spe- cialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur- gical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. No honest dealer will urge a substitute for this su- perior medicine.

all that good fortune with that

left us. By sundown the sonthwest wind was gone, and in its place there fell upon us a northera wind, sweeping down from Hainan and past the Ps: bels and making us to ‘bout ship and rea before it for any part of B C0 TW could reach. And yet it was not thus that our course was to be determi

for before the morning broke once more the wind had changed again and was a-blowing southeast by east of the M

layan coast. And, shipmates, this here were such a storm cut our ribl y, in one event sending mainsail down the wind as as this silken mneckercher I wear would down our English March wind, and we could not even hope that our ship could hold together much longer, but feared that she must break to pieces. Like- wise, too, we was in much distress, for our longboat was gone, and our other boats must be dashed to bits against the ship’s sides ere we could get them off.

‘¢ “Will it avail us, Bunce,’ says our captain to me, ‘to fire the carronade, think you? Or are we out of the line of commerce now?’

‘**T think not, your honor,’ says I, ‘but there are in these seas but few larger ships than ours. Even though there should be others near to us, it must be that they are in the same plight

*y as §alis

| as us and but little able to give assist-

ance.’ Yet, in the hopes that thera might be some Christian vessel near unto us, the captain bade the gunner to fire signals of distress.

‘*If indeed there had been other vessels near unto us, which we knowed arter- wards there was not, and they had been in as bad case as was the Loving Friend, it would have been but little help they could have given us, for, mateys, ours were a sorry plight. Our mainsail was, as I have related, gone. So was our spritsail yard, and, what was the worst evil of all, we had sprung a leak, though as yet no one among the sailors could find out where it was.

“But as the morning wore on the wind did somewhat abate of its fierce- ness, and the clouds began to clear, and at last the captain tried to take an ob- servation, which, however, he failed in, for still was the sun obscured. Yet ever was it noticeable to us that the storm was past or passing, that indeed its fury was spent, and that the waves were becoming calmer and the ship not rolling so in the sea.

‘*And now the captain, who was a-giv- ing orders to the sailors to bring up some spare sails and loose canvas from the hold, with which, if God was good, we might yet make the mainland—

provided that the leak could be found— | calls to me and says, ‘Bos’n, come here.’ |

And, going up to him, I see that he was a-looking careful through his per- spective glass.

‘‘ «Tt is still a hazy morn,’ says he. ‘What do you make that out to be, about,’ he goes on, ‘two points off on our quarter?’

‘‘I takes myself a long look, ship- mates, and I sees something about two miles off, but what with the haze and the mist—pecoolar to them seas after a storm—and the still rolling of the ship I could not at first make anything of it. But at last the cartain is able to see more clear, and then he says to me

** ‘By God’s grace, it is an island, though a small one anda bare. There is nothing on it that I can see except one tree. The rest is sand.’

‘‘ *Yet good enough, captain,’ says I, ‘to lie by in and to refit. If we can make it, we can find the leak and stop it and so make for the mainland.’

‘««T doubt not that we shall make it,’ replies the captain, ‘but fortunate indeed it is that we are well found with both water and provisions, for, so far as I can see, on that island there is nothing but that one tree, and to me it locks not like afruit bearing onc.’ And then he gives orders from the poop where we was a-standing to give way a bit and to bear up gently for that is: land.

‘‘Friends all, we made that island, and being. as it were, haif tide, we gently beached our ship. Thus we should at low tide be able to discover where was the leak she had sprung, and to calk and repair it and at high tide to float her off again.

‘“‘But at first, so faint and weary was we all, as all hands had been at work the long night battling with the storm. that the captain—always a good man and a tender—says that here we would rest and take our ease for at least some days and until] the storm was quite past and gone.

** ‘So now, my lads,’ says he, when the ship had been gently beached and was a-lying peaceful on her port side, ‘there ain’t naught but a small watch required; so tumble in and take your rest, but iet first a party go the rounds of this island to see as their ain’t no foe, human or otherwise, upon it. It will not take you half an hour. Bunce, go you with them.’

“It took but little while for our party to go around that island, friends, for in all its ’scumferance it were not more than half a mile, and on it there were nothing but that one tree. And that was down near the water's edge, hard py the shore the Loving Friend was

lying On it tnere were butnang Cis’ but sand and seashells—not a blade of grass, nor a herb nor bush nor flower— no, not so much as a place where a rab- bit could have hid, let alone a wild beast or a savage man. Well, when we see all this and found out as how there wern’t nothing to fear on this little island, we turns back to the ship and passes by the tree, and, naturally, we stops to inspect it.

‘*It was a tree, mateys, of most pecoo- lar appearance, and what struck us all as the remarkablest thing was that in

a island where there weren’t not an- other stick of growth there should be

The Danger of

PILES

Too frequently overlooked, Dr. Chase’s Ointment a Prompt and Positive Cure.

The suffering caused by the intense itching and burning sensations of piles is only one of the horrors of this disease, for there is always great danger of piles developing into fistula, one of the most disgusting diseases imaginable.

Even the great danger and expense of an cperation are preferable to running the risk of contracting this most loathsome of diseases.

But there is no necessity for a surgical opera- tion for piles. Dr. Chase’s Ointinent is guaranteed to cure any case of piles, no matter of how long standing, or how aggravated the case may be, so long a3 piles have not become fistula,

It is only by rare chance that internal treat- ment will cure pies. But it matters not from what cause they arise, Dr. Chase’s Ointment will at once stop the itching and burning, and soun effect a perfect cure,

You can use Dr. Chase’s Ointment with

fullest assurance that what has cured scores of thousands of cases of piles willcure you. For sale by all dealers, or Famanson, Bates & Ca., Toronta
