The romance of the sea is out done only by reality. Somewhere in Mexico are three women, a girl in her teens and seven children, who were rescued last July from a Crusoe isle in a desolate part of the Pacific by Commander H. P. Perrill, formely of Indiana, acting captain of the L'. gunboat Yorktown, Tiie story of the rescue is now printed for the first time from Captain Pcrnll's letters, these having been withheld because of the navy department censor-hip. Captain Perrill wn.i bom and reared

in Lebanon, Ind. For a time he attended a business college in Indianapolis, which he left to enter the naval academy at Annapolis. Mis wife, who was Charlotte Knox, of this city, lives in San Diego. Cal. Her .,ter. Miss Arda Knox, fiiit East Twenty-fourth sheet, a teacher in the Emmerich Manual Training hirh .chnol, learned several weeks airo of her brother-in-hrv's exploit, which was kept as a family secret until released by the navy department. Hut the story of the refugees, their life on the unnamed island, their res''le and return to the country is told ivnst interestingly in Captain Perrill's lop his daily letters to his wife. Navy ronsorship cau.-ed him to refrain from mentioning locations even in his iel'.ers to his wife. His extracts f-mn these letters follow: July IX. My first intention h:u! been merely to make a circuit of the island without laiuiing and if nothing appeared amiss to rr-.uiiie our journey. Heforr we got to i. something prompted me to make a landing. As our boat approached be si-or" we picked up a few people waiiling .,h,ng the heath. I ok-erved, without beirg mu-h impp's:..--!. that they seemed to he women and children. I a!:. o ohf erved that they made numero a- signals to the boat. After our men landed, I f it under v. :ty ti rr.ake a oircait of the island, w:,irr. is about five miles in rircum- ( I aw mi re im galls Hying fi h aad pui poises than I had ever soon in a similar extent before.

captain's wife and two children were additional drains on tht food supply of the colony. The (a ship) came to the island in June, 1914, and took away the ship-wrecked crew, also a

German named Schuli, with his wife
