KIDNAPED!

'Perhaps the strangest adventure I ever had during my twenty years upon the sea," said Capt. Nevins, "was during the summer of 1858. I was 15 years old at the time, and was living with my parents in San Francisco. "My chief delight in those days was the study of navigation, of which I never grew tired. My father, who waa a master of that science, being a retired sea captain, took great pains to gratify my desire for knowledge in that direction, and in order to afford me a chance to pursue my studies he made arrangements to send uie on a voyage to Hong Kong on the Jeannette. "The Jeannette was commanded by Capt. Guy Wentworth, an old friend of my father, and as he had always been kind to me 1 anticipated a most pleasant voyage. "I was provided with a set of navigator's instruments, including a costly •watch, and was to keep a reckoning through the voyage. "In addition to the ship's crew there were on Iward the Jeannette about twenty Chinamen, who had made large sums of money in the gold fields, and were returning to their native land to enjoy their wealth. Their money, which was nearly all in gold dust and nuggets, was stored on board the ship. "Among the sailors on board the Jeannette was a man by the name of Jack Peters. II could not have been less than 50 years of age, tall, raw boned, with complexion as brown as an autumn leaf. From the very first he seemed to take a great liking to me, and Igeined greatly interested in my progress learning navigation. At every opportunity he would engage me in conversation, yet 1 could not make up my mind to like him. "There was something about the man that caused i.'.o to distrust him, in spite of his evident disposition to make me his friend. "We liad been at sea nearly five weeks when one night, just as I was preparing to turn in, Peters came to my room and asked me to go with him. Joe Brad don, ho said, who was taking his turn at the •fcheol, wmited to speak to me. "1 thought it an odd request, as 1 had 6uta slight, acquaintance with Braddon, Jbut 1 followed him. little dreaming of 1 the startling events that were soon to take place. "The night

intensely dark, and a

heavy mist hung over the sea. had not taken a dozen steps after leaving my room when 1 was suddenly seized from behind by strong arms and borne to the deck. 1 was about to make an outcry, when a hand was placed over my mouth and a harsh voice warned me that if I made the least alarm I would be knocked on the head and thrown into the sea. "This induced mo to refnain quiet while my hands wero securely tied behind my back. Then some one took ine from the deck, and slipping over the rail descended into a boat that had been lowered alongside the vessel. 1 was thrust down in tlio bottom of the boat and commanded to keep quiet upon peril* of my life. "&> astonished and bewildered had 1 leen at the sudden assault that it was some time before I could realize what waa taking place. 1 sat there like one stupefied, huddled down, while a dozen of the sailors descended from tho ship and took their places in the boat, and the ship swept on her course and was soon lost to sight in tho gloom. 'What does this mean?" I cried, as soon as 1 dared speak. 'Why have I been taken from the ship? 'We'll let you know all soon enough,' replied tho voico of Peters. 'We've got use fer ye, an' if yo do the right thing we'll treat ye all fair.' 'An' if he don't,' said one of the sailors in a threatening tone. 'We'll feed him tor the sharks,' finished Peters in a calm voice. "Some of the men now hoisted the sail, and the boat was turned to the northwest. My hands were then unbound, and I was free to move about the boat as 1 pleased, but I was cautioned to make no noise in ease we were pursued by the ship For nearly an hour we continued our course in silence, then Peters ^aid: 'I reckon

Thar

ain't no use in dis-

guisin" matters, now that we've got the boy in our power. The fact is,' he continued, addressing me, 'we've jist relieved the Jeannette uv a little nv her gold—about flOCUXX). 1 reckon—and we want yer ter help us git away with it Tho gold all belonged to them heathen Chinamen, an' it didn't look like the fair thing for them to take it out of the country

when? They

made it, an' wo decided

to bring part uv it back—kind uv an export duty, you see. Now, if you'll help to git to Formosa we'll do the fair thing by you. an' you'll git your part of the gold.' 'I don't want any of it,' 1 replied indignantly. '1 will not be a party to your robbing scheme, but I suppose I can't help myself alxmt assisting you to get ashore, since 1 am with you, but don't think that I would not give you all over to the authorities if I could.' 'Oh. we'll risk that.' laughed Peters. 'Only you pilot us to Formosa and we'll do the rest. We'll see that you don't lose nothing, and beside® we know yonVe been want in' a chance to try your skill at navigatiu\#Rnd we ain't in favor uv keepin' a boy hack when he wants to learn. "This speech brought a hearty laugh from the sailors. "I now began to understand the situation in which I was placed. That the men would have no mercy on me if 1 failed to do their bidding I well knew, yet I felt it my duty to make some attempt to thwart their plans. But I must have time to think, and to gain this it was necessary for mo to appear as passive as possible, not to excite suspicion. As soon as the robbery was discovered 1 knew that the Jeanuette would double on her course and try to run do wo the robber*, and there might be a chance of my arresting them if 1 managed matters rightly, but any attempt to derive my captorv would lie a dangerous undertak

wm&mm

ing, and should I be discovered would, in all probability, cost me my life. Knowing this, I recognized the necessity of using the greatest caution in what I did. "The night' was still dark, with a heavy mist hanging over the sea, affording an excellent opportunity for $he boat to escape the vessel. It waa fully two hours before Peters would allow even a match to be lit to look at the compass to ascertain our course. Then the boat was headed for the northwest. "The night passed, and when morning dawned the sea was still covered with a dense fog. On taking my bearing I found, as near as I could calculate, that we were 21 degs. 12 mins. north latitude, and 122 degs. 54 mins. east longitude. This would make our position about 140 miles east by some 80 miles south of the island of Formosa, and nearly 800 miles east of Hong Kong. By keeping on a direct western course I could readily see that we would miss Formosa full thirty miles and follow in the wake of the Jeannette. As I reflected on this fact it suddenly occurred to me that I might mislead the robbers as to our true position, and while pretending to pilot them to Formosa I might induce them to continue on toward Hong Kong, thereby providing a possibility of encountering the Jeannette. But scarcely had this resolution taken place in my mind when Peters approached and began to examine the chart, asking me to show him our position. "In response to his request I pointed to a spot one degree north of our true position, venturing the remark that we would reach the island the quickest by keeping in a due western course. "He made no reply to my remark, but after asking a few questions as to the probable distance to the island he turned to his men and gave orders for the boat to be headed for the north. "My heart sank within me at thi3, and for a moment I believed that my deception had been discovered. However, the next moment he explained to the men that it was his object to get as far out of the track of the Jeannette as possible before making for the island. "Being thus reassured, I ventured to suggest that the Jeannette would most likely search for us among the Bosher islands that lay close to us on the south, but Peters cut me off with the pert remark that I was not brought along to give advice. This left me with no alternative but to quietly submit to being carried away beyond the possibility of encountering tlio Jeannette. "My knowledge of tho island to which we wero bound was of the most meager character, and all I conkl recall regarding it was that it lay some thirty leagues off the coast of Fu-Kina, a province in southeastern China, and was infested with a tribe of savage and warlike natives. "All that day we continued our course to the north, then turned westward, and two days later sighted the rock bound coast of eastern Formosa. Continuing our course northward for several leagues we entered a narrow inlet, and passing up this for four or five miles, we landed in a secluded spot, where we disembarked and concealed the boat under a clump of trees that overhung a narrow neck in tho Httlo bay. "In a level spot about 'J09 yards from the shore a camp was made, and here we remained for three days before I learned anything regarding the future plans of my captors. Then, from what I overheard from Peters in his conversation with the others, 1 learned that we were to remain in concealment tliore for three or four weeks, perhaps, when a small vessel—a smuggler on the Chinese coast, 1 gathered—commanded by an old friend and pal of Peters, would arrive and carry us to Australia. In order to carry out this plan one of the conspirators had been left aboard the Jeannette, and on his arrival at Hong Kong he was to seo the smuggler, whose ship would probably be at that port, and acquaint him with the business on hand, and pilot him to the place agreed upon on the west coast of Formosa. What disposition was to be made of me in the meantime I was unable to learn, but I had tho gravest apprehensions that it was their intention to leave me on the island. "However. 1 was allowed my freedom, and went and came as I pleased. Sometimes I would venture quite a distance inland, wandering over the hills and through the deep canons, in which grew abuudance of tropical fruit, while birds of rare and brilliant plumage flew about me through tho perfumed air. "It was about a week subsequent to our landing on the island. I was returning one evening from one of my short excursions inland, when, on crossing a little hill, a strange, startling sound, coming from the camp in the valley below, reached my ears. "Hastening to the top of the hill 1 looked down into the little valley, where a strange sight met my gaze. Coming swiftly from a strip of deep forest to the north, leaping over the jagged rocks that covered tho hill, I saw a horde of Formosa savages rushing furiously down upon the sailors at the car*?, brandishing their spears and gesticulating wildly as they ran. "For a moment 1 was almost stupefied with surprise and fear. So suddenly had they appeared upon the scene that it seemed as if they had sprung up from the very earth. Wecognized in a moment that I as weil as the sailors was in the most deadly peril, for the natives of Formosa are as fierce and warlike as th« Sioux and Apaches of our own country. "I heard the voice of Peters shouting to the men lo run for the boat, but before the order could be obeyed the savages were upon them. I heard the rapid discharge of firearms as the sailors rallied about their loader and sought to repel the advancing foe. Then the line of screaming, maddened natives closed in upon them, and nothing could be seem but amass of struggling humanity. Ifc would be impossible for me io describe the fearful scene that followed, in which the boat's crew were every one cat down and literally hacked to pieces before my very c-yea. "At the first appearance of the savages I had trunk down behind a clump of

r-ii»

brushes, and, lying there upon the ground stupefied with horror, I' witnessed that awful scene, the. horror of which can sever be erased from my memory. "How long I lay there I cannot tell, for I must have swooned at the, terrible eight I had been compelled to witness. The next I remember was of lying there among the bushes trying to recall the past. As soon as I could rei'.izethe situation I arose and peered d*vn into the valley. The savages had all disappeared as mysteriously as they had come. The sun was low in the horizon, and a deathly stillness had fallen over the scene. "For half an hour I stood there, waiting and listening for sounds of the savages, but at length, hearing nothing to excite my fear, I stepped from tho thicket of bushes and stole cautiously down to the little grove where the camp had been. "There amid the rank shrubbery lay the mangled remains of the ill fated sailors, disfigured beyond recognition. For several moments I stood there almost paralyzed by the horror of my situation. Then the deadly peril that surrounded me roused me to tho knowledge of the necessity of immediate action. It would not do to linger there a moment, as there was no telling when the savages might again appear upon the scene: but what was I to do? "Suddenly I thought of the boat. Was it still there, or had it been taken away by the savages? With a beating heart I fairly ran toward the place where it had been left. I could hardly suppress a cry of joy as I pushed through the thick branches to the water's edge and found the boat still there unmolested by the natives. A glance told me that nothing had been removed from the boat save a small portion of the provisions, and I at once resolved to put to sea in it and trust to chance to be picked up by some passing ship. "It only required a few moments for me to board the boat and push out into tho little bay. I was well skilled in its management, and soon had the sail hoisted to catch the strong'off shore breeze that was now -blowing. Taking the rudder, I ran swiftly down the inlet to the open sea. A mile farther on I rounded a headland and was standing out toward the middle of the bay when I heard the sound of many strange voices coming from the shore. Glancing toward a narrow peninsula that lay on my left I saw a band of savages running swiftly toward the water's edge, brand? ishing their weapons and uttering savage exclamations as they ran. "A shudder passed over me as I thought of what my fate would bo should I fall into their hands. But as I could see no boat in which they could pursue me upon tho water I felt that I was safe beyond their reach. However, my feeling of security was of short duration, for scarcely had tho savages reached the water's edge when I saw them scramble down among the rocks and disappear into what seemed to be a kind of grotto. A moment later along canoe filled with the natives shot out into the bay and came swiftly in pursuit. Then another and another followed in quick succession till half a dozen had joined in the chase, "Although I was fully a quarter of a mile in advance of them now, I recognized the fact that there was the greatest danger that I would be overhauled by them. "There were no weapons in the boat with which I could defend myself, but even if thero had been 1 would have stood no chance of repelling a score of bloodthirsty savages. There was but one chance of escape, and that lay in flight. Recognizing this fact I held the little craft full before the wind, which was now growing stronger as I neared the open sea. "But in spito of this I could see that the pursuing canoes were slowly but surely gaining on me. Nearer and nearer they drew, till, glancing back, I could see the fierce look of exultation on the hideous faces of the savages, and hear their wild ejaculations of triumph as they bore rapidly down upon me. Fifteen minutes more and they would be within reach of me. With a feeling of despair I lashed the rudder in place I grasped a plank from the bottom of the boat—the oars had been removed by the robbers—and began to row with it as best I could. "We had now left the inlet, and were out in the open sea. I cast a hasty glance •across the water with the hope of seeing some passing ship, bnt there was no sign of a sail in sight. "But now for the first time 1 noticed that an ashy pallor was stealing over the mist covered sky, and with a feeling of joy I knew that the night, which comes down so rapidly in the tropics, was near at hand. A few moments later the darkness had deepened so that only the dim outlines of tho pursuing canoes were visible through the gloom. A few minutes more and they were lost to sight in the black night that settled rapidly over the sea. "Throwing down the plank with which I had been rowing I now grasped the rudder again and changed my obtuse to the southeast, while I listened intently to the sound of the pursuers' paddles. A few minutes later I heard them paas on to the north of me, while with a strong wind filling the sails of my boat I bore swiftly Mid noiselessly away to the south. The noises of the paddles died away in the distance, and I knew that I was safe. W, "I continued my courso southward until daylight, when I could see the coast of Formosa lying some fonr or five milds to the west. The next day I rounded South Cape and was picked up by the Jeannette, which had returned and was standing up the Formosa coast in search of the robbers. "I was handsomely rewarded 'for the part I had played in restoring the treasure to its owners, and my adventures were the all absorbing topic of conversation during the voyage. "On my return to San Francisco I was appointed second mate on the Jeannette." —Will

THEY. DISCAED.WIGS..

JEWISH GIRLS ALLOW THEIR HAIR TO GROW IN THIS L^ND, li^lSSi In Russia and Poland Jewish Rabbis

Compel Maidens to Cat Their Raven Locks and Wear Wigs—Here, .However, the Girls Please Themselves^

From one of the old fashioned houses in East Broadway hangs this sign: "Ladies' Barber Shop. Ladies' Hair Cut and Dressed." The visions of daintily perfumed rooms and pretty women attendants that may be aroused by this are not borne out by clever inspection. In fact these combinations don't flourish in that locality. But nevertheless the place has an interesting history. The proprietor is a square faced man with a bald head and brown mustache. He is a Russian Hebrew, and learned the art of hair dressing in Russia. He practiced it in Germany and Austria, also, before he came to New York to beautify the heads of the east side belles. Many a blushing kalla (bride) has had her hair done up in tasteful coils by his nimble fingers previous to her wedding. Business was dull the other day when a reporter called upon the barber. •'Most of my customers are Jewish girls, of course," he said. "Times have changed greatly since I received my apprenticeship. The girls are not so pious any more, not even the daughters of tho most orthodox families. There is a spirit of freedom in the air in this country which overwhelms many of the old time customs, and Jews do here many things which would cause their ostracism in the Jewish quarters of the Russian villages." .1r. -'.-J,

GIRLS WITH SHORT IIAIR.*

When I first began my work all Jewish girls and women wore wigs. They clipped their own hair very close and wore the wigs over it. Before my time the\r used to shave their heads. The reason for this custom waa that some rabbi had declared it proper. He argued that it subdued the spirit of vanity inherent in all women. His dictum was generally approved, anil it bccama so general a custom that no pious Jewish woman would have exhibited' her own hair in public under any circumstances. "If by chance her wig was displaced arid her own hair was revealed she considered it a calamity, and prayed earn: estly that her involuntary sin might be forgiven. The wigs were never allowed to be ornamental, but were always very plain and common looking. This* custom still prevails in the small towns and villages of Russia and Russian Poland. Elsewhere it has been modified. "I wasabroad a few years ago, arid noticed that in the cities the women have established a new system. Instead of clipping their hair short all over the head they now let it grow in a bang front and clip the rest. They wear little skull caps over tlw clipped part, and only put on the wigs occasionally. Very few wear wigs in the morning, and they do their marketing without them. The appearance of a lot of women with bangs straying from under skull caps is very orf' "The influence of America upon tl custom is remarkable. It is well known abroad that it has been discarded here, and the result is that most of the womeu immigrants are prepared for it. In fact I have come across a number of girls who let tjjeir hair grow secretly under their wigs* while they were still in their native villages, and threw their wigs overboard as soon as they got on the vessels that carried them to these shores. Of course if they had been detected at home they would have received scant courtesy from the rabbis.

A QtJEER CASE.

"It may seem strange that Chief Rabbi Joseph doesn't insist upon the continuance of this custom in New York, but I -imagine that he has been advised that it would be impossible to enforce it. Most of the women wait until they come here before they let their hair grow. "It is my business to train and trim it after it is grown. You see even the girls who have held to the custom until they come to this country give it up wlieu they see how lonesome they are here. It is no easy task to fix their hair, because constant clipping has stiffened and hardened it. It is amusing, though, that these girls are very critical. Once they discard the clipping and wig business they go to the other extreme. It is as though all the natural vanity that has been pent up in them had suddenly been let loose. "About a year ago I was called upon to testify in a lawsuit about this custom. Alexander Levy, a Polish fur maker, had been arrested upon the charge of Eliza Blashker. She said that she had advanced him money upon his promise to marry her, which "he had failed to refund when the promise was broken. It came out in the trial that he was anxious to marry her, bnt that his parents objected because she wasn't pious enough. He admitted on the witness stand that this was the case. He said that his parent1) had threatened to cast him off, and to mourn for hUh as if he were dead.if he married the girl. "The main objection, it seems, was that she wouldn't shave off her hair and wear a wig as his mother did. The girl gave the keynote of the feeling in the orthodox community here when she said that she bad refused to do this because the custom had been generally abandoned, and because she was an American and didn't propose to make a guy of herself. s^It is only rarely that I find any women, even among the old ones, who adhere to the custom. My work has grown away from what it was originally, and now it is mainly hair dressing, after the modes prevalent in this and all other civilised countries."—New York Sun.

A Shoe Blacking Syndicate.

The syndicate shoe blacking on'the Pennsylvania ferryboats is not a success. The company receives $2,000 for the privilege from the padrone who employs the boys who nominally polish passengers' boots. The padrone is a regular slave driver, and the boys in order to satisfy his demands try to polish three pairs of boots on one passage. They are not able, in the time occupied by the ferryboat in crossing, to give more than a few daubs of blacking and a hurried brushing, and by the time the passenger gets to Broadway his boots are dull and dirty.

The boys are also very persistent, filling the cabins with their calls until they have become a regular nuisance. It was a sorry day for the railroad's reputation when it sold this privilege to the Italians. Meanwhile the padrone is clearing about $3 a day out of every boy. He gives them $4 a week and keeps two on each boat. It is estimated that the padrone makes $10,000 per annum on the Pennsylvania boats alone, besides large sums on the Staten Island boats and the other North river ferryboats.—New York Gor. Philadelphia Bulletin.

Reveling in Fiction.

"I am literally wallowing in fiction just now," said a young Chestnut street merchant. "My family are out of town and I am taking advantage of the opportunity to read up the standards. Let me see what I have on hand at present, for the tables, chairs and even tho floor of my sitting room are absolutely flooded with the works of the great novelists. 1 have all Dickens' novels, all Sir Walter Scott's, all Charles Reade's, all Thackeray's, some of Lever's, some of Cooper's, some of Clark Russell's, all of Rider Haggard's, and—well, others too numerous to mention. All my copies are, however, what are known as 'cheap libraries', and I picked them up still cheaper at second hand. I don't think the whole 'lot cost me quite §5, so I shall get my acquaintance ••vith the standards at a wonderful bargain. There's no excuse for a live American not being well up in the great romancers, believe me!"—Philadelphia Inquirer.
