‘HE Is THE PEAR VL KING.

How Samuel Hatris of Cali‘ornia Won this Title.

It ia not generally ‘known that one single merchant, a young Californian, 82 years of age, controls the pearl and pearl shell market of America and Enu- rope. This monarch of ‘the perrl] trade is Samuel Harris. He operates in the Pacific ocean, and he has built up an gstounding commercial reputation in the course of eight years. There are plenty of cattle kings in the west and wheat kings in the east and money kings everywhere, but there ig on!y « pearl king, and that is Harris. Thou- sands of rare, translucent gems are brought to this country and shipped to Ecrope by his agents. He deals in mother of pearl shells by the ton, and the magnitude of his transactions has made the private mark of Harris— namely, a diamond inclosing a large H —a seal of international importance and a guarantee of genuine kingship.

Harris gathers this gems exclusively in the Society islands. For eight years he has made these Pacific land spots the field of his interesting business. It was

Ww 39

on the shores of Tahiti that first he

earned his title of kimg. After repeated transactions with the natives whom he employed in pearl fishing he stimulated them from passivity to great activity, gaining their confidence and trust by honest and reliable barter. made promises to them that he did not keep.. He paid them in full the price which they demanded. Himself a fin- ished critic, u connoisseur, he never permitted them to overvalue a pile of shells, and they grew to admire him. He controlled the situation at Tahiti. He was easily king.

It is said that Harris'‘has been a lover of these delicate gems since his boy- hood. Pearls have always. been to him the most mysterious, the most wonder- ful, the most beautiful handiwork of nature. To him, gifted with an artistic, idealistic temperament, they appealed in a romantic, poetic way. To him each translucent globule seemed like a tear from the weird eyes of an earth be- witched mermaid. They were silent to- kens of the water maid's grief, she who perhaps pined for a terrestrial Jover.

Finally young Harris took:a pleasure vuyage to the distant Society isles and saw what made his enthusiastic eyes bulge in their sockets. He saw native children playing along the sands with the richest pearls he had ever seen; he saw the native belles passing by with ropes of pearly gems about their throats, such treasures as would have made a society queen turn pale withenvy. Then Harris made his first business trip to Tahiti, and he took with him $3,000 worth of merchandise. His burden con- sisted mainly of tobacco, knives, rope, fishbocks and articles of clothing. These were luxuries to the native Tahi- tite, and the pearl trader brought back that yeer in exchange for his merchan- dise fully $40,000 worth of pearls and pearl shells. He did not consider ita bad bargain, and he has been back very year since,

Formerly only the lowest grade pearls were brought to the American market. The fincr ones were retained abroad and rarely ever found their way this side of the water. Harris hasturned the tables and now brings to the San Francisco market the most perfect pearls found anywhere. The perfect stones are orient and of translucent whiteness or glim- mering irideseence. They are finely symmetrical in form, and the best are generally pear shaped, like a falling star. The hunt for these beauties of the deep goes on incessantly. The same ex- citement and uncertainty attend the fishing as surround the tireless chase for gold or the determined digging in a diamond mine.

There is the same labor and the oft repeated disappointment. Now and then @ great surprise is brought up by the fearless pearl diver. That compensates for allthe rest. Lately it was an im- mense black pearl, the handsoimest of ite kind ever snatched from the fathom- less ocean. Harris broughtit on his last recent voyage to San Francisco. After careful examination it was found to be absolutely perfect, having a weight of six carats. It is valued in the London market at £150.

Since 1894 Harris has revolutionized the trade in pearl shells. Only one grade ever found its way to the mauu- facturers of pearl shell ornaments and gewgaws. It was generally shell that was thin, flaky and colorless and sold for $800 aton. This energetic young pearl king now exports four different grades or varieties, ranging in value from $600 to $1,200 a ton.

All shells are purchased in bulk from the native fishers. They bring down their hauls of shell to the young king's schooner as it lies in port, fretting rest- lessly against the side of the rnde piers. They bring down their find here for the ‘ing’s inspection. He sits in state and passes judgment. Harris can tell ata giance what a pile of shells is worth. .He is an expert at determining value, and he is a shrewd buyer as well and has never permitted the native experts ‘to outdistance him in judgment. When a pile of shells is dropped before him, he picks up one or two and runs his arm carelessly through the heap and in & moment can determine the grade, for the natives are clever at assortment. No ‘uncommon shells are ever found among -yhe poor ones. They have «ot learned yet the trick of decepticn by mingling the good and the bad.—Chicago Times- ee ee

A Mild Mannered Pirate.

——

‘The Buccaneers of Our Chast” is the title of a series of narrative sketches that Frank R. Stockton is writing for St. Nicholas. In speaking of John Es- quemeling, who joined the buccaneers and became their historian, Mr. Stock- ton says:

It must have been a strange thing for a man accustomed to pens and ink, to yardsticks and scales, to offer to enroll himself in a company of bloody, big bearded pirates, but a man must eat, and buccaneering was the only profes- sion open to our ex-clerk. For some rea- son or other, certainly not on account of his bravery and daring, Esquemeling was very well received by the pirates of Tortuga. Perhaps they liked him be- cause he was a mild mannered man and 80 different from themselves.

As for Esquemeling himself, he soon came to entertain the highest opinions of his pirate companions. He looked upon the buccaneers who had distin- guished themselves as great heroes, and

it must have been extremely gratifying |

to those savage fellows to tell Esque- meling all the wonderful things they had done. Esquemeling might have earned a salary as a listener.

It was not long before his intense ad- miration of the buccaneers and their per- formances began to produce in him the feeling that these great exploits should not be lost to the world, and so he set about writing their lives and adventures.

He remained with the pirates for sev- eral years and during that time worked very industriously getting together ma- terial for his history. When lie returned to bis own country in 1672, ha there completed a book which he called ‘‘The Buccaneers of America; or, The True Account of the Most Remarkable As- saults Committed of Late Years Upon the Coasts 6f the West Indies by the Buccaneers, etc. By John Esquemeling, One of the Buccaneers, Who Was Pres- ent at Those Tragedies.’’

From this title it is probable that in the capacity of reporter our literary pi- rate accompanied his comrades on their yarious voyages and assaults, and al- though he states e was present at many of ‘‘those tragedics’’ he makes no refer- ence to any deeds of valor or cruelty performed by himself, which shows him to have been a wonderfully conscien- tious historian. There are persons, how- ever, who doubt his impartiality, be- cause, as he liked the French, he al- ways gave the pirates of that nationality the credit for most of the bravery dis- played on their expeditions, and all of the magnanimity and courtesy, if there happened to beany, while the surliness, brutality and extraordinary wickedness were all ascribed to the English.
