A SIR A NGE TALE OF THE SEA, A Fortune Found and Lost. Atfvemli i ra teller La.i iu law raelne. My father owned the brig Penahaw, which wa a tidy craft of 200 ton* burden, sailing ' out of Australian and New Zealand ports. During the year when I was fifteen yean old the brig was voyaging between Sydney ad Wellington, a stretch of water about i,iSM)inils wide. One night, as we had 'entered the straiu, beating our way slowly up i JTS ins* a head wind, we came in collision with a coasting schooner running out . She had uo !U(hU set, and, a* was afterward town, all her crew, Captain included, were half drunk, and did not see our*. I was on look out and saw the schooner first, bat a* we were close on the wind and she cloee at hand we could do nothing. She struck us on the starboard bow with a great cruh. Our foremaat went by the board, the schoon- er's bowsprit was twisted off, and the two craft bumped and crashed for three or four minute* and then separated. In such emergencies men act en impulse and cannot always clearly reBember what occur*. In thia caie I climbed aboard the schooner, thinking she was the least injured, and it appeared that every one of her crew tumbled on to the decks of the brig for the same reason. It was some minute* after the craft separated before I discovered that I was alone. The schooner was then in the 'trough of the sea and rolling about at a great rate. I first went forward and ued an axe and my knife to CUT A WAT TUB J1BBOOM, bowsprit, and foratopmast, which were floating alongside. The mainboom of the foresail had been broken, and I dropped thii *ail. The foresail was all right, but I drop- ped the peak. The staysail and two jibe were gone. I now got the schooner dead before the wind, and she ran off at a great pace. I now began to wonder how badly she had been damaged. I bad seen that her bulwarks for a distance of fifteen feet on the itarboard bow had been itove in, but a* to the hull itstlf I could not nay. I should have laid her head to the sea and wind but for her damages. Young as I wan, I was uorn at sea, and a pretty fair tailor, and I knew I could aot set i storm sail in the forerigging nor hold her up without it. I could not leave the wheel without fear of her broach- ing to, and *o, for the first hour, I stood there expecting she would fill and founder. As she continued buoyant, and I failed to hear the swash of water below decks, I final- ly came to the conclusion that she had re- oei"ed no great injury. Such proved to be the case. Her (tern and some of the planks were broken above the water line, and the bulwarks had been torn away as the. bow- sprit, was wrenched out, but her crew had BO call to leave her. The accident occurred about 10 o'clock. The wind was then blowing a lively rate, but by midnight there was half a gale and a heavy sea. There was foresail enough to lift and send her, and I don't remember that I was anything more than anxious over the outcome. I was being blown to the east, right out into the South Pacific, but nt that season of the year the gales were likely to be of short continuance. This one reached its height at midnight, and WIIKV DAYUUHTCAMB the sea had very much decreased, and the schooner could not have made over ten mile* an hour running with all sail set. After 1 could see the length of her I brought her bead on, and by lashing the foresail boom anudship and dropping the peak a little more 1 found she would hold there with the wheel lashed a port, This done I went aloft for a look around, but could see nothing. Returning to the deck I got out the union jack and set it in the main rigging as a sig- nal of distress, and then inspected damages. The little craft was a* dry as a bone, though her hows above water were a complete wreck. There was little or nothing I could do to mend matter*, and so I turned to and pre- pared breakfast. Ry the time that was eat- en, the wind had dropped to a three-knot breeze, while the) sky promised good weather for the next day or two. When I came to inspect the cargo I found it to consist mostly of lumber. This was to have been taken up the coast to the site of i new town. There was also some hardware, provisions, machinery, and dry goods. The luniltr in the vessel would float her no mat- ter if the hold was full of water, and I need ha\ e no fears ou the question of food and drink. When 1 came to look fora chart I could liiul nothing not even a coast survey chart. The Captain had seemed to trust en- tirely to nifnury or luck in making his voy- ag. up and down. I had looked over fatniT 1 * chart* many a time, but in luch a cut n > way that I could not now remember what land lay to the east of me. I remem- bered that the nearest const was that of South America, but that was thousands of miles away, and I concluded that my chance lay ai being picked up by some vessel. After dinner I lay down and slept for several hours, and on awakening went aloft for a look around. Nothing but sky and water were in light. 1 hal been driving to the west all day at the rate of about three knots an hour, and whu I came to figure up the probable run of the night before I estimated tha' 1 was a hundred mile* off the coast. The breeze still held from the same quarter, and freshened somewhat as night came on. I HEMA1NKD AWAKE until about 10 o'clock, and then bunked down on deck, and was so little disturbed that 1 slept right through the night, and awoke at 6 o'clock next morning to oe treat- ed to a tremendous surprise. The schooner was high and dry on a sandy shore, and be- fore me was a beautiful green forest. She had taken ground so softly that I had not been disturbed. I was ashore ou the Chatham Islands, a of fourteen verdant island* to the oast kliiinl, and the only break in the Ti 1 - . rs stretching to the coast of I'ata- I had struck one of the larger ones, ' i atharine," and I was no sooner on n. . than there was uch a chattering of hi> K as almost deafened me. These 'rlTifM^T were not then inhabited, and have inch a ipa.e population now that the number is no; recorded on the charts. Land being so pli nty aid cheap on the Island of New Zea (anil itself , and there being so many fertile Mandi along its coast, no set of people Are to isolate themselves by taking up * resi- f*n< .- on the Chatham*. I got doWB orer fee bows ,md reached the beach dry-shod. and after three hours of walking rbout I found that I had come ashore on an island about three miles in length and breadth, it being nearly square. It was covered with the verdure of the tropics, and, whde the trees item id to bit lull at birds, 1 saw neith- er serpents nor wild animals. The schooner lay exposed to the westerly gales and seas, and it would only be a ques tion of a week or two when she would break up or !> buried in the sands. It therefore itojd me in hand to get all oat of her tnat 1 oould before this disaster took place. I began right after dinner, and it would sur- prize yon to know how much I accomplish- ed in the next four days. By use of the capstan, winch, and a block and pully in the lain rigging I got out twenty-one barrel* of flour, eight o? meal, and besides this I got ashore all the sails, cabin furniture, cooking utensils, Ac. There were axes, shovels, picks, hose, rakes, garden seeds, carpenters' tools, and a host of other things, which oould be handled, and I got out enough boards to make me a cabin and floor it. On the evening of the 5th day a strong wind came up from the west, accompanied by a very high tide, and instead of the schooner breaking up she lloated and a cur- rent pulled her off, and she drifted down the coast almut a mile. She then struck on a sunken ledge, turned over, and the seas broke her up. There was no prominent point on the island where I could set a signal I there- fore contented myself with keeping a look- out to the weet. Twice during the first two weeks I saw ship* afar off by the aid of the glass. Then six WEEKS FAMED without my lighting anything. Meanwhile I had created my house back about forty feet from the shore, got all the good* undercover, and was more satisfied with my lot than some men would have been. I bad no way of knowing whether father's brig went down in the collision or not, but wa* satisfied that if he escaped with his life he would make search for me. I had been on the island three months when I one day made a wonderful discovery. I was on tits south shore, where the forest was more open and the soil composed of sand and shell, and I stopped fora moment under the shade of a tree. As I did so a small ani- mal, only about half as large as a hare, ran past my feet and into its burrow, only a yard away. As I followed it with my eye 1 saw something glitter in the fresh dirt thrown out, and I picked it up to find that it was an English sovereign. Raking over the dirt with my fingers, I soon found four others, together with some small pieces or mouldy canvas. I at onne jumped to the conclusion that there must be a store of trea- sure below, and I ran for a shovel. It was easy digging there, and I had not gone down over two feet before I was throwing out more money than dirt. The treasure had been contained entirely in canvas bags. These had been stoat enough at the outset, but the dampness of the earth had finally rotted them. I could not lift a single one of the bags out by itself on this account, but brought down a piece of sail cloth and spread it on the ground and then piled the treasure on it as I freed it from the dirt. There bad been twelve bag* of money, every piece of g>ld- 1 Knew the value only of English cur. rency. There were pieces I knew to have been coined in India, Spain, F.ancg, Hol- land, and the United States, and I gave a guess at the value by the weight alone. I found the treasure about 8 clock in the morning, and It was after noon before I had ALL THE HOMEY on the sail-cloth. I was a stout, healthy boy, but I could not have lifted a tenth part of the toUl weight. I doubt if a stout man could have dragged it a foot. The first thought was to to get the money to my house a mile away. I got a stout sack, and planned to carry the pile away iu such loads as I could lift, but then I began to argue that as, I wan the only person on the island, the money was as safe where it was as it would be in my house. I therefore filled my pockets with the larger pieces as specimens, and contented myself with spreading a piece of canvas over the heap and throwing on some branches. I was not greatly rattled over the big find, although I knew there must be ten* of thousands of dollars there. I was simply a little more anxious to sight a sail, and for the next week I did nothing but patrol up and down the bores and look seaward. I visited the money every morning and evening, and now and then pawed the heap over and carried away such coins as I desired to more closely inspect It was, I believe, on the morning of the thirteenth day after finding the money that I walked down to the water for my morning dip to see a whaling bark hove too about a mile away and one of her boat* palling in. It was the English whaling craft Grampus, and father had met her Captain In a New Zealand port and asked him to call at the islands as he bore away and. LOOK FOB TBACES or *u. When it was found that I wa* alive and well the Captain came ashore. He would cot promise to carry me to New Zealand under six months, as he was bound to the Banks of Brazil, but he listed all my pro perty off at a fair value and put it to my credit. When everything had been taken abroad I showed him my pocket pieces and told him of my find. What I had brought up to the house counted up nearly 'JUO Kuglish money. 1 started with him for the spot where the treasure was lying accom pauied by three of his men, and we reached it to find that everything had disappeared. There was the hole I had dug here were the withered bianche* which had covered the heap there the tracks of men leading down to the water's edge. I had been there at sundown th night before. During the night a party had landed and removed the last stiver of money. From whence they came, in what craft, how they knew the treasure was there, which way they sailed, all these were queries which all could put but no one answer. A day after leaving the island the bark encountered a British gun- boat, and we told her Captain the story. He cruised iu search of the mysterious craft for several days, bnt did not sight her, and all official inquiry made by the New Zealand Government failed to trace anything further.
