The Missing Speedwell. By CHARLES B. LEWIS 'M. QUAD). [Copyright, 1H94. hy Charles B. I,ewls.]

| In July, 1863, the English sailing

ship Speedwell, front Liverpool to Yo kohama, was spoken off the Loo Choo islands as she was making her way to the north, and half a day later there came a typhoon which wrought disaster to many a craft on that sea. As time passed and the Speedwell did not reach her destination and was not again re ported she was given up for lost. Everybody believed that she was one of the unfortune craft which went down or was wrecked on some island shore during the terrible storm. Four years went

1 by, and the loss of the Speedwell was

almost forgotten in marine circles. At 6 o'clock on the morning of the 18th day of August, 1867, the American bark Victory, bound from New York to Yo-

1 kohama, was lying becalmed on the

tropic of Cancer, with the nearest of the Loo Choo islands bearing 90 miles to the southwest. The morning watch were washing down the decks when one of tho men had his attention attracted to what was evidently a white painted board, which had drifted alongside of us on some current during the niglit. He had no sooner caught sight of the

; board than he cried out that there was

writing on it, and two minutes later it

boat. There was just sufficient depth of water to float her over the reef, and wo took notice that there was not an opening in it wide enough for a shark to slip through. There lay the Speedwell, her stern toward us as the tide swung her, and as we came nearer every man ceased rowing to turn and have a glimpse at her. Some of the sails had been blown away in the storm which drove her into the hay for shelter, but others had been furled and stowed and had rotted on the yards. The standing rigging had turned gray for the want of tar, and we noticed the ends of a dozen •topes hanging down and swaying like pendulums in the brt'eze. The hull of the craft, left over four years without paint, was much faded and weath. r beaten, anil the picture, takeu altogeth-

er, was certainly a dismal one. The message we had picked up at sea,

350 miles distant from the island, bore a date 67 days old. It seemed like accident that the running tide should have carried it down tho hay, over the reef and out to sea without its being stranded somewhere. There was the name on the stern of the skip, “The Speedwell of Liverpool,” and there she was at anchor before our eyes, and yet the finding of her was such a strange thing that all of us, even the captain, felt awed and mystified and hesitated about approach- 1 ing her. Was Charles Lane, the sole | survivor, still alive and on board? We | dipped in our oars and approached the I port quarter of the ship within 30 feet, and then Captain Bidwell hailed her. After the third hail we heard a noise on board ana next moment caught sight of a man on the quarter deck. It was I Charles Lane, of course, and to tell you

up, signed anti witnessed granting the captain a certain per cent of salvage in case ho saved the ship and cargo. Among the cargo of the Victory was a lot of powder, and the first move was to break out a dozen kegs to use in blasting a passage through the coral reef. We got such a turn of bad weather just as wo were about to begin operations that nothing could be done for four days. When we did get to work, our progress was very slow, as none of us was posted on the work. In about five days, however, we broke a passage 30 feet deep and cleared the debris from the channel, and then we had to turn to and tar down and repair the standing rigging and bend new sails. It was a full fortnight before wo towed the Speedwell through the passage and got her out to sea. She was a heavy craft, and as we had to divide our crew to work her she could uot carry much sail. From lying so long at anchor in the shallow bay, which gave her not over three feet of water under her keel at low tide, the bottom of the craft was covered with grass five or six feet long, ami she looked like an island moving

along.

We were of course interested in learning how Lane passed his time. Fortunately for him, he could read and write. After finishing every line of printed matter to be found aboard he turned to pen and ink until nothing was left to write on. He had kept track of every day and date with perfect accuracy. As long as paint and tar lasted he had used them to preserve the ship, and strangely enough, instead of taking possession of the cabin, he had lived entirely in his old quarters in the deckhouse. He

TTK WKRK CROWDING ARCH ND was on deck and in the hands of the mate, and we were crowding around him to learn the couteuts of the strange letter brought to ns by the sea. Across the face of the white board, which all recognized as a panel from a cabin door, there were 10 lines of writing in pencil. The chirography was scrawling and the spelling that of a sailor’s, which is to spell in the most convenient way, and it was noon before any of us forward were told the nature of the message. I cannot give it to you as written, but the gist of it was that one Charles Lane, who claimed to 1k> tho sole survivor of the Speedwell, was living aboard the long missing ship on an island to the east of Japan. The ship, he said, had been carried over a coral reef into a bay during a great storm and was there riding at anchor, safe and sound with the exception of sails and rigging, which had suffered from the weather. He could uot give thenanie of the island nor 'lx its location, but ho believed it to be one of a group, as ho could see others from the masthead. He added that he had been aboard of the ship ever siure she was wrecked, and that he had sent out scores of similar messages in hojies he might be rescued. The island was about 10 miles in circumference and uninhabited, and if ever visited by native fishermen or shell gatherers they had not come near him. His directions to any craft which might find the message were to enter a bay on the west side of the island. This bay turned to the south after half a mile and continued on to the shore of the island, or rather penetrated the island for quite a distance. It M as a secluded spot, and a craft must run dose to the west shore of the island to get sight of the mouth of tho bay, which had a coral reef across it, with only about two feet of water at high tide. While the message stated that all the others were dead it gave no further particulars about the crew and ended with the hope that the floating waif might be more fortunate than tho many others preceding it. Captain Bidwell of the Victory was a keen, shrewd man, and remembering tho loss of the Speedwell and the fact that she was laden with a valuable cargo tho idea of salvage was uppermost in his mind as he consulted his charts and canvassed the matter with his chief mate. The only islands to the east of Japan not directly off the coast is the group known as Magellan’s archipelago. Here is a group of 47 islands, great and small, dotting an area of 800 miles from north to south and about tho same distance from east to west. Here and there two < r three are in sight of each other, while others are as solitary as if planted in niidooean. Taking the location of the Speedwell when last spoken, it was pretty easy to figure that she had been east among these islands. It was decided to alter the course of the vessel and coast along the 1 1 westernmost is lands, and tho search for tho castaway shii) was six in in progress. In most cases the western islands of the archipelago cannot bo approached nearer than three miles, owing to the reefs and tho depth of water, and this necessitated the fitting out of the long boat for a cruise nearer the beach. In charge of the second mate she ran down the coast of each island so closely that there was no fear of overlooking tho mouth of the bay referred to. After tho search had lasted 11 days wo came to the island called Dragon’s island, and about the center of it, while the ship was three miles offshore, we discovered the entrance to a bay which we believed to be the one described. The longboat was sailod up to tho turn in it, and from that poiut we could plainly make out the ship. We returned aboard to report, and the Victory was worked inshore to an anchorage behind a point, and the captain was pulled up to the bay iu tho long

ed at sight of us. He motioued for us j to pull alongside, threw tho end of a; rope, and he saluted the captain as the { latter dropped off the rail to the deck. I for one had expected to find a man ! in rags and tatters and his hair and j whiskers unkempt and unshorn, and 1 I was astonished to see before us a clean shaven, well dressed man, with close I cropped hair. He spoke slowly and with an effort, like one not sure of a language. Later on we knew that this was because he had spent four years with no one to talk to and had in a measure for- j gotten his English. His story of the loss of the Speedwell was not a long one. I She had been caught to the west off the

and had made use of the clothing of the mates, but only until driven to it had he made use of the cabin stores. By removing the hatches at intervals and pumping out the bilge water every tim e or four days he had saved much of the cargo, which would have rotted away, and the ship was entirely clear of odors. We had a slow, dull time sailing her to Yokohama, but got her safely into port at last. Slit' was a well known ship, and tho sight of her limping into port and the strange story of how she had been watched and guarded furnished an interesting item for hundreds of newspapers. Perhaps the strangest thing about the strange affair was the fate of

18 men were swept overboard within half an hour after the storm broke, and her reaching the bay was a matter of pure | accident. Tho eoral reef wits then building. A high tide tuid the action of the i waves had lifted her over the reef without serious injury, hut while an anchor was lieing dropped the fall of a block from aloft had fatally injured the captain. This left 12 of the crew, iu com-

mand of the chief mate.

As soon as the storm subsided it was ascertained hy soundings that the Speedwell could not be got out over the reef. Then the men, as is nearly always the case, declared the voyage at an end and refused to longer obey orders. Two of them were, however, induced to go with the second mate in search of assistance. They sailtgl away to the west, 'utpecting to speak a ship within a day or two and at least send notice to the consignees at Yokohama, but they were never heard of again. Of the nine men left the steward was drowned while bathing, the cook’s back was broken by a fall from a tree ashore, and five of the men went ashore to live, leaving only the chief mate and Lane aboard. Within four months all the five men were dead, one being murdered iu a brawl and the other four dying of fever and snake bites. For 13 mouths the two men aboard the ship were in good health. If the mate ever told Lane the name or latitude of the island on which they were cast, the latter had forgotten it They talked almost daily of fitting out one of the small boats and starting out to get relief, but it would appear that the mate was lacking in self reliance and was also hoping for many long months that the other boat would be heard from. It also seemed that he owned a share in the cargo, and he feared that she would be found and looted should ho lie absent for any length of time. It thus turned out that no move was made to secure relief, and none came through native fishermen or traders, and at the expiration of about 13 months the mate was seized with fever and died after a brief illness. Lane managed to get the body ashore and bury it liesida that of the captain, and from then on he lived entirely alone. For over two years he had not seen a human face or heard any voice but his own. He lived mostly on the provisions of the ship, but found plenty of fruits ashore, and during his

Color In Itoom Furnishing.

A simple combination, even more effective than brown and red, for a room which is well lighted is pearl gray and a lighter red. Nothli g else has quite the warm effect of a heavy brown or dull red curtain, but jib turcs stand out exquisitely on a gray wall, and the simplest lino of j color doubles its value against such a background. For that purpose a plain gray paper without a pattern, or with one well nigh invisible, Is tx’st, and the frieze should be of a dark red. With aihndcd gray carpet threaded with it scarlet and dark red vine upon tho Ihxir, a few etchings or photographs upon tho walls and some pots of blossoming plants, even if nothing more than the hardy scarlet geraniums, such a room will radiate cheerfulness. It will absorb all the glittering ornaments it can get, and metal or cut glass vases or shining candlesticks are a great addition. The ideal high light Is given hy an open wcmkI (Ire burning on brass andirons, with a polished brass fender. Gray walls hung with handsome etchings and engravings are most beautiful without tho scarlet frieze for those who do not crave color. But most ur'xlucated eyes long for this brightness, and the average man sympathizes with tlie fireman who wanted his engine painted "any color, so she's red!’’
