V THE WEEKLY SENTINEL: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1886. DRIFTING FOR TWO YEARS. The Story of Oae of the Most Kcuiark. able Voyages Ever Maile. Capt. .T. K. Armstrong, now in command ftf the lark Kalakaua, loading lumber nt Port Blakely for tho west coast of South America, was in Seattle the other day. Capt Arm strong will bo remembered as the commander who brought the ship Templar from New York to San Francisco a few yeara ago on one of the most remarkable passages on record. After being out for some time, the captain went to a foreign port, and for some reason his crew, excepting the officers, left. Finally two English ships came in, and from them Capt. Armstrong made up a new crew, and, after being out four days, the entire crew, In cluding the captain and his daughter, were taken down with yellow fever. The first mate died, and several of the sailors. Those who had the disease less violent threw the dead overboard, one by one. The ship drifted about without a pilot or navigator for more than a year. The captain, for two years, was so violent from the ravages of the fever that he had to be chained to the deck to keep him from jumping overboard. He wears the scars from the chains and lashings to this day. During the year that the ship drifted about, the second mate and three or four of the sail ors recovered, but being out of sight of land, and not understanding navigation, they were powerless to do anything with the ship. Finally the daughter regained her reason, but not her strength. One day she sent for the second mate and asked him to carry her on deck, which he did. She then sent for her father's instruments, and by the aid of these and her knowledge of navigation she figured out the location of the vessel. She then took the charts from the cabin and traced out a route to San Francisco. She then practically took command of the vessel and ordered the second mate and surviving members of the crew to make sail, and gave them the direc tion in which to sail. Every day for months she would be carried on deck to take the sun and give her orders. Days and weeks passed and the ship contin ued on her journey. Beimj so light-handed tho vessel could not be properly handled and could carry but little sail, consequently her progress was slow. After many weary, dreary months the captain regained his reason,, and when he learned of what his daughter had done ho was greatly surprised, and declared that had he been placed in the same position he could not have done better. The ship was loaded with general merchandise, the cargo being insured for over $200,000. The long ab sence of the ship, and no tidings from her, led the owners and all interested parties to be lieve that she, with all hands on board, had been lost. Imagine their surprise, after the supposed fate of the ship had almost passed from their minds, when one bright day in summer the ship Templar, with her cargo all intact, came sailing into San Francisco bay. Seattle (W. T.) Post-Intelligencer. A DAILY CARRIAGE FAIR. The Backboard, the Volante and the Drosky in Central Park. Ontral park has got to be a sort of daily carriage fair. Any afternoon that you choose to spend along the drive you will find samples of about all the vehicles known to the civil ized world displayed upon the roadway. The buckboard has arrived. It was brought from Bar Harbor, where it is tho native turnout, and people are not yet so familiar with it as to oease to laugh when it goes sagging and jouncing by. The volante, a vehicle gener ally supposed to be indigenous to Cuba, and to be seen nowhere else, is represented on the drive every fair af tuiuoon. It belongs to a Cuban cigar manufacturer In William street. The cli-osky turned up. It hold a very splendid young swell whom no one recog nized, and made a decided stir. The appear ance of the drosky was preceded by that of the Russian sleigh, which made its appear ance on our streets last winter, much to the glory of the irreverent small boy. English coaches are now very common on our drives. The most conspicuous is probably the real London hansom, imported by Freddy Qeh hard's sister, Mrs. Fred Neilson. You are not a real swell if you do not own at least one English built turnout. French carriages are also common. They are lighter than the English, though not as light as ours, but are more elegantly glazed, upholstered and finished than either. The English coaches ,are absurdly heavy. They seem built, like the "Wonderful One Horse Chaise," to last forever. When a London built family coach goes by, with the harness chains clanging, you have only to shut your eyes to believe that you hear a steam- fire engine answering a third call. Since fashion began to return to town I have every day no ticed several carriages whose inmates were only a woman servant and a pet dog. The dogs seem to enjoy their airing, but the ser vants always look awfully bored. Alfred Trumble in New York News. POTTAWATOMIE CHICKEN EGGS. A Swinds- Built Upon the Bohemian Oat Pattern Blasted Hope This Red Line wheat and Bohemian oats swindle seems to have suggested another, which, I am told, was put into successful op eration down in Logan county. Some fellow went through that county selling Pottawa tomie eggs at $3 a dozen, giving each buyer a written agreement to come around later and purchase all the chickens hatohed from them at $3 each as soon as they reached the age of six weeks. He disposed of enormous quanti ties of eggs at this price, and the farmers' wives and daughters set every motherly in clined hen on the premises in joyful anticipa tion of new dresses and loves of bonnets and the other things so dear to the female heart. The Oijcdient hens vrent to work with a will and incubated the allotted twenty-one days. Then plump and tender hands with taper fingers gently lifted up the clucking mothers in expectancy to look at the beautiful $3 "cheepers.'' But they had not broken through the shell Then it was considered that it took longer to hatch a $3 chicken than one of the twenty-five cent kind twenty-eight days, for instance, as in, the case of the Thanksgiving turkey. Four weeks slipped by and they came not Of course, such valuable fowls, like the goose or swan, advanced slowly and required a full month of thirty-one days to hatch. And still they came not. Like the night-haunting owl, or the eagle of the cliff, they deferred their arrival for forty-two days. In the- meantime the hens sat on, like Patience on a monument, hoping for the best, until six weeks wore away. Then an egg Was care fully broken, and it was discovered that the agent of the Pottawatomie Chicken company could have safely contracted to pay $300 each, for all the chickens hatched. Every egg was hard boiled. Cincinnati Enquirer. '. ; ;' ncs io ( h r''i'"'"' - ;s-lii a"s uccaBtin i .
