ONE SHOT MEANT WAR
BUT THE GERMANS WISELY REFRAIN
ED FROM FIRING IT.
The Yankee Commander Leary Wai
Ready For the I'ray and Provet
Too Plucky and Tacttul For Hi,
Oppeoent-A Story of Samoa.
The pluck and grit of American ont
val officers are aptly illustrated in at
article by Henry Collins Welsh ii
Ainslee's Magazine, in which the writ
er tells how Commander Lears
brought the German naval force in Sa
moa to terms some years ago. Mt
says:
It was at the outbreak of elvil strift
that Captain Leary arrived at Apia i.
the American warship Adams. Dr
Inappe was then the German consul
at Apla, and he and Commandei
Frltze of the German warship Adlet
carried on affairs with an imperiout
hand. Feeling ran high between the
Germans on one hand and the Amer!.
cans and English on the other. The
Germans bombarded villages on vart.
ous pretexts, fired upon unarmed ana
tives and gave open aid to Tamasese.
Captain Leary at that time was a
commander, and it was not long be.
fore he autrCaptain Fritze had some
lively interchanges of complliments.
On one occasion the Adler steamed
past the American ship with a native
chief bound to her foremast. The Ger.
man saluted when he passed, but no
answer came back from the American.
Soon the German came to a standstill.
A boat was dispatched to ascertain
why the American had not answered
the salute. commander Leary sent
the Teuton this characteristic reply,
"The United States does not salute
vessels engaged in the slave carrying
trade.."
But an incident which best Illus
trates Commander Leary's grit and de
terLination and which deserves to live
in song and story occurred in the wa
ters near Apla on Nov. 15, 1888.
Strained relations came to a crisis
then, and war between the United
States and Germany seemed inevita
ble.
On the day previous a message came
from Mataafa to inform Commander
Leary that the Germans had threaten
ed to attack Mataufa in his strong
hold on the morrow. Both Mhatuafa
and Tamasese had lntrencihed them
selves in fortified places about seven
miles from Apia upon land under
American protection. Mataafa asked
for advice, and Commandttr Leary told
him through the messenger to stand
his ground, that he Would not allow
the German to make an attack upon
property under his protection.
According to the German pro.
gramme, the Adler was to bombard at
dawn. Captain Leary quietly prepar
ed to foil the phln, at the same time
keeping his counsel. By using some
hard coal he had aboard he was able
to get up steam without the telltale
smoke that would have warned the
Germans of his action. Then he muf
fled his anchor chains with native
mats, and at 4 in the morning all
hands were quietly called to quarters.
At daybreak the anchors of the Adler
were hauled up and with full steam
on the vessel made for the open sea.
Noiselessly came up the Yankce's an
chores, and to the amazement of the
Adler the Adams was close upon her
heels. The German had to turn to
get out of the harbor. and by the time
she reached the entrance the two ships
were close together. Again the Ger
man turned and then headed toward
the fort that was to be bombarded.
Commander Leary ran his ship be
tween the German and the shore and
when about 300 yards from the Ad
ler gave the order:
"Clear for action!"
At once the decks were cleared, and
the guns were trained. The German
followed suit, and the two ships
steamed along the coast ready for the
fray.
A shot from either vessel meant war
between the two countries. When op
posite the native forts, the Adler came
to anchor, and the Adams anchored
between the Germnan alnd the shore.
So close were the vessels that no guns
could be fired from the Adler without
passing over or through the Adams.
Then Commander Leary sent this note
to the German cot illli nder:
"1 have the honor to luformt you
that, having receved nluformiation that
American property in the Iatoga vi
cinity or Lallii, Iotonnutlu anl Solo
Solo is liable to be invaded this day, I
am here for the pturlpose of Il'protectllng
the same."
For hours the turn stood at their'
guns, but no shot cam-e 'froml the (et'
mans. Ile was ready to war ulpon tthe
Samoans, but wart with the United
States was aliothe'r matter.
At length the German started on a
cruise along the colnst, but lihe could not
shake off the persistent Yankee. IFlintl
ly he renounced his designs and re
turned to his anchorage In Aphl bay.
To her anchorage canmt also the Ad
ams, and Commander Leary had won
the game.

The Carloum C(anmowaury.
Every explorer who visits the Aus.
tralnalan islands discovers a new kind
of cassowary. None of these birds
possesses any wings to speak of, and
their bodies are clothed with dense
masses of curious, hairlike feathers,
According to a recent traveler, these
feathers are put to a very relmarkablh
1se.
When a cassowary feels hungry-so
the legend runs-it wades out into a
stream until only its head and neck are
above water and spreads out its long
plumes on either side. Numbers of un.
sophisticated little fishes imumediately
mistake these for a new kind of water
weed and nestle confidingly up to the
motionless cassowary for shelter.
Then timt artful bird suddenly
presses his feathers close against his
body, walks ashore and shakes out his
prisoners on the bank; so that he not
only enjoys a delightful bath, but ob.
tains an excellent meal into the bar.

The Rat That Mailed.
A rat was caught alive on board a
naval vessel in a trap, and the beast
was thrown from the trap into the wa.
ter without being killed. A large gull
that was following in the wake of the
ship to plltt up scraps of food thrown
overboard by the ,steward swooped
several times, endeavoring to pick the
rat up. Once the bird got too close to
the rat's jaws, anti the beast grabbed
It by the neck. After a short tight the
rat succeeded In killing the bird. When
the gull was dead. the rat scrambled
spon tile bird's body, and, hoslating one
wing as a sail and using the other as
a rudder, succeeded in steering for the
shore. Whether tihe rat reached shlore
or not Is the question, since the ship
soon got out of sight of the skippet
and its craft.

the cage is hung near the telephone,
with the result that Polly has become

and asked permission to use the phone.

store, and she started in that direction.

Thomas Murray, the noted chef, says
many cooks do not know how to do so
simple a thing as to boil rice properly.
Each grain of rice, he says, should be
distinct, whole, but at the same time
tender. To accomplish this, a small
quantity of rice should be boiled in a
large pot nearly filled with water, Put
it into cold water and a little salt gnd
boil rapidly for 20 or 80 minutes. Teat
the grains occasionally, and when a
slight pressure between the thumb and
forefinger will crush them they are
done. If' allowed to boil till the grains
burst or boiled in a small quantity of
water, the grains will stick together.
When done, drain off the water and set
the rice on the range, where it will
keep warm. -Exchange.
