They were beguiled from their island homes to the plantations of Central America and there they died. Not in ones | or twos, or tens and twenties, but in hundreds, and out of 1000 men, women and children who left Butaritari four years ago only 227 lived to reach home. The humid weather which prevails in Central America was too much for them and they succumbed one by one. In some cases it was pneumonia, but in the ma- jority it was consumption which carried them off. The' latter disease was even more prevalent than the former, and it counted its victims by the score each | month. | All that was left of the ‘‘blackbirds” were taken home on the bark Helen W. Almy, and there was weeping and wailing, mingled with tears of joy, at every point at which the vessel stopped to unload her human freight. The story began nearly five years ago. The coffee-planters ot Guatemala wanted | cheap labor, and they contracted with | Captain Ferguson for so many South Sea Islanders. The skipper chartered the brig | Tahiti and sent her out on a cruise. | **Blackbirding” was and is a common | practice in the South Seas, and all the | labor employed in the canefields of Queensland, Australia, is thus recruited. Ferguson had thus no difficulty in secur- ing 270 natives, after which the Tabiti | was headed for San Jose de Guatemala. | She was driven north as far as Drakes | Bay, and after refitting made another | start with Captain Eriesson in command. | The next news came from Mexico, and was | to the effect that the Tahiti had capsized | and every one on board drowned. | Nothing daunted, Ferguson chartered the steamer Montserrat and sent her to | the Gilbert 5ruup. The people were wary | and demanded information as to where | their relatives were. Speciousanswers were | given, and finally with the assistance of | the King of the group nearly 800 men, | woren and children signed contracts to | work four years in the coffee plantations of Guatemala. Only 225 of them lived to tell the tale, and they went home on the bark Helen W. Almy. The vessel took | aboard 227, all told, but as there were two | births and two deaths during the voyage | the total was not changed. The Almy made an unusually long voy- age and returned to port light. In talk- | ing about the matter yesterday Captain Pedersen said: “The bark was very foul | and 1t’s lucky we are in even now. hen we left San Francisco we were all right, but during the time we lay at Ocos and BSan Jose de Guatemala the barnacles grew six inches every six hours. We expected a big crowd of South Sea Islanders, but only 227 all told were put sboard. Half of them were sick and dispirited, but as soon as we got to sea they picked up and were as jolly as sanid boys. Outside of the two deaths from consumption and the two births there was nothing of interest dur- ing the voyage. “The homes of the natives were scattered over the entire Gilbert group and we had to 2o to at least a dozen islanas before we got rid of our passengers. Every place we touched at we could hear the mournful death song as soon as the natives were landed and if we stayed there any length of time the bark would be sur- rounded by canoes, in which were the relatives of the men who perished in Guatemala. They asked for this man and that woman and were so persistent that we had to up_anchor and get away as quickly as possible, D “I can state positively that the natives were well treated in Guatemala and every one of those who returned with me had more money with him than he had ever seen in all his life before.. The money earned by those who died was sent to their relatives, so there was plenty of silver circulation when we left Butaritari. Had it not been for this it would have gone hard with the Gilbert Islanders. ““There has been no rain tor months and the cocoanuts were not as big as my fist. There was no copra, and we could not have done any trading even if we wanted to. The British Government runs the group, and in order to do any businees we would have had to put up $500 for a license. The old King, who came_to San Franciscoa few years ago, is dead and his 16-year-old son reigns in his stead. The new King is & progressive lad and he sought to rule his kingdom as he thought fit. The Brit- ish Commissioner sat down on him heuv? however. The young monarch was told that if he did not behaye himself he would be sent to school at Fiji to learn manners. That settled the matter and young Tom- bola has been a most obedient lad ever since. “The bark's bottom was very foul, so I decided to have 1t partially cleaned while we were at anchor in Butaritari. Eignt natives went down and removed barnacles at least two feet long. They went down naked and would remain below all of two minutes at a time. 3 “‘Hali-castes who attempted the work could not remain under water more than a minute. Had we not got the hull par- tially cleaned it might have been another month before we reached San Prancisco.” The Helen W. Almy was specially char- tered to take the Gilbert Islanders home. 1t was part of Captain Blackburn’s con- tract that he return the natives, but as his vessel foundered off Cape Flattery and he and every soul on board went down with her, there was nothing left to be done | save charter another craft to carry out the agreement. Misfortune seems to have followed all engaged in the venture. Nearly a thousand natives died from swamp fever or exposure or went down in the wreck of the Tahiti. Two vessels with all bands were lost, and the Almy after a seven months’ cruise returned here in ballast. It will be many a long day be- fore another successful biackbirding cruise can be made to the Gilbert group. NEVER BrAY HIS MOTHER. Gus Gilfether Denies the Statement of His Brother Frank. Gus Gilfether, 30 Hill street, wholost his chickens through a decision of Judge Low Thursday that eggs were not chickens, was considerably “‘joshed” by his friends around the City Hail yesterday about it.

My brother Frank is to blame for circulating such a tale. My uncle, before going to Ireland, made hiswill in my favor and since then | Frank has been doing everything he can to injure me with my mother and friends.” THE FAIR ESTATE. Big Fees Allowed the Executors and the Attorneys Who Are Em- ployed by Them. The third account of the Fair estate has' been filed by the executors. It covers the period from January:1 to June 30, 1896, in- clusive, the total receipts during that time were $269,310 26. The disbursements, including $82,526 85. The surrender value of Monongahela River Railroad Com- pany’s bonds and scrip, amounted to $274,- 004 53, leaving a balance in the hands of the executors of $382,28843. This money is deposited in bank, principally in the Nevada Bank and the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company of New York. An interesting feature of the report filed | is the montbly profit received from the | Lick House. This hostelry paid to the estate a dividend varying from $62 50 to §1000 during the past six months. Judge Slack vesterday signed an order directing the special administrators of the estate to pay $5000 to Pierson & Mitchell and $2500 to Garret: McEnerney for ser- vices rendered as attorneys in the case. The surviving special administrators were also allowed $5000 each on account of ser- vices. .Warren & Malley, contractors, were allowed $12,000 aue them on accoant of the North Beach contracts. Up to date the special administrators have received $20,000 each, as have Pierson & Mitchell. Garret McEnerney has re- ceived $10,000 and L. C. Bresse, the admin- istrator who died recently, received $15,000. Company M, League of the Cross Cadets, Given an Ameri- can Flag. An Interesting Ceremony in St. Fran- cis Hall When the Emblem Was Pres nted. The large hall of 8t. Francis Church, at Vallejo street ana Montgomery avenue, ‘was thronged last eyening when the young {ladies of St. Francis parish presented Company M, League of the Cross Cadets, with a beautiful American flug. The flag itseli was sufficlent to arouse the latent enthusiasm and patriotism of those present. It is a gorgeous banner of silk, fringed with gold tassels and supplemented by streamers bearing the name of the company. There could be ne doubting the sincere interest shown in the proceed- ings, not alone by the boys themselves, who are pledged to temperance, but by the girls, who were present in large num- bers to present the flag, and also by the grown people. 3 The hall was decorated with ferns and sprays of flowers, while the platform was draped with National flags and otherwise beautified with flowers. Rev. Father Caraher, pastor of the par- ish, presided, and with him on the stage were seated the officers of Compauy M. The flag was presented by Miss K. Campnell and received by Captain T. J. Dinan. In her appropriate presentation address Miss Campbell said it was a pleas- ant duty she had to perform in addressing Company M in behalf of the ladies who took this opportunity of expressing their heartfelt appreciation of the good work of the league. She congratulated Company M on its fidelity to principle, admired its verseverance and assured it they would always find the young ladies of St. Francis parish ready and willing to aid Company M in any work it would undertake to pro- mote the cause of temperance. Captain Dinan replied for his company, offering the thanks of his comrades for the beautiful emblem. He said that the presentation showed that the ladies in- dorsed the movement represented by Com- pany M, and that its members were watched by friendly eyes; it also gave them moral support and encouragement which aided them to keep their pleages. He further promised that the flag would be regarced asone of the chief treasures of the company, and he hoped that in future the same flag would inculcate les- sons of patriotism in the minds of the members of Company M. Father Caraner told the audience that the ceremonies gave him great vleasure because it was an outburst of patriotism. *‘Cadets of the League of the Cross,” he said, “you have been honored by the ladies of your parish, and it is expected that your conduct will be an honor to yourselves, an ornament to religion and an example of the virtue of temperance.” It was announced that a grand rally would be 'glven Sunday at 2'». M. in the Mechanics’ Pavilion, at which all mem- bers of the' league and the full cadet regi- ment would be present. Admission will be free to evervbody. The principal fea- ture will be an essay contest for the Arch- bishop’s medal. Archbishop Riordan will deliver the address. ——— THE slayer of Judge Terry on murder bent. Read what Editor Barry has to say in to-day’s Star about his assal ulis, HONGRED BY THE LADIES BAITING THE COD IN HIS SEA-LAIR, How Morrhua Americana Is Taken In Out of the Wet. HIS FOE THE DORYMAN. !The Fish That Grazes in the Submarine Fields for Science. A GOOD STRING OF DOLLARS. Packing-House of the Lynde-Hough F.sh Company at California City. A codfish is never more happy than when he is hung to a line. He will travel a hundred marine leagues if he hears that some man in a litile fishing dory has a hook out. He never learns that the dainty, juicy morsel swinging to and fro thirty or forty fathoms down in the sea conceals a steel barb. His ancestors have successively gone on making the same un- pardonable mistake ever since the waters of the great deep were gathered together. Other creatures, in the light of a dreadful experience, have picked up an instinct that there is danger in.a hook, but the cod dges mnot, and is pulled in. And his, family of youngsters—he leaves behind thousands of them—sooner or later will follow him into a cask. 8o the chap in the dory drifting quietly over the bank watches his two lines and awaits the inevitable jerk which tells of the presence of the voracious morrhua. He knows that if the signal nibble does not come soon that cod has other fish to fry, because it is always eating or going to eat. It isthe marine persouification of famine and starves with its stomach fuil of food. Old fishers say that a cod will gulp down a baited hook with his mouta filled with a salmon he has just caught. There have been several cases where this gourmand of the seas has managed to get away with a hook, sinker and several fathoms of heavy line to be caught a few minutes later by new fishing tackle. Notwithstanding the fearful mortality among this fish, so anxious to get caught that only the most remarkable error on its part can save its life. it defies extermi- nation. It spawns and swarms and thick- ens the sea with itself. It has been said that if the cod’s mln{ enemies ceased working on him, and if he did not die himself from overeating, he and the dif- ferent members of his. family would soon fill the ocean from bottom to surface and from shore to shore. In fact there would be no more sea. Being a juicy, delectable morsel is not the only good thing that can be said of this fish of the genus Gadus. He has an insatiable appetite for scientific research, and an exploration within his almost un- fathomable stomach has revealed the flora and fauna of a life existing far down in the soundless deeps. While he is discuss- ing a breakfast of mussels with seaweed | on the side he islaboringin the cause of sci- ence, and when David StarrJordan hooks him out of his great, watery dining-room he wili be the means of adding much to the roster of the vegetable and animal kingdom of ‘the sea. = ? One of the companies on this coast that have taken advantage of theseeming desire on the part of the codfish to get caught is the Lynde & Hough Company of San Francisco. They have a packing, estab- lishment at California City, where their three vessels—the schooner Arago and tiie barkentines Fremont and Falkenberg— refit and discharge. The schooner g:ot in from Bering Sea recently with 72,000 fish salted down -in nice white flakes in her hold—the Falken- berg with 115,000—and a few days ago the Fremont sailed tbrough the Golden Gate and up along the Marin shore to the end of her summer outing with hook and line with a catch of 170,000 fish. . And so the three vessels brought home a heavy string of 357,000 Bering cod, and they were not bought in a fish market, either. Each vessel is provided with a crew of twenty or thirty men, a few being cutters and salters, who remain aboard the vessel while the rest man the dories and fish. The dory is a sharp-at-both-ends flat- bottomed boat and is propelled by . two oars and a sail of light material. This latter is only used to run before the wind, as the cranky flat-bottomed craft could not sail on a wind. The doryman takes his station on the codbank and dropping his anchor over he lets his two lines with the four hooks run out in the sea. They go down deeply—40 fathoms, where spiritless that it seems to be a charity to take him in out of the wet. ‘When the school 1s present there is no time lost in their efforts to get on to the hooks and the man in the dory has no time to sit down and enjoy the sea scenes around him. Frequently a line will come | up with a fish on each of its two hooks and two or three free fish following their captive brothers to the surface in hopes that they can take the lucky (?) fellows’ places should they get loose from the hooks. This, of course, suits the doryman, as it helps him to earn his $25 per thounsand, and when he has loaded his cranky boat down to the danger point he hurries to the ship. Here the cod is immediately throated, that is cut across the throat and a portion of its backbone taken out. Itis then passed on to another chap, by whom it is beheaded, split down the belly and cleaned. The fishislaid open, washed in sea water and packed away in salt. Care must be taken here, as too much of the soaium-chloride will burn the cargo and too little will turn it into a putrefying mass. Then the vessel sails for the dis- tant packing-house. At California City the fish are again washed, and the inside skin peeled off. These peelings, with the outside skin, are utilized in the manufacture of giue. But little islostin a cod, and he is worked up for all he is worth. The fish is then laid away in the pickling tanks, where he rests in his bath of brinc till wanted for mar- ket. Then be 1s dried, trimmed and fitted nicely in his case with a number of his fellows and lapeled for commerce. No effort is made on the ccast to use the livers for oil, as on the great Eastern banks. In the Lynde-Hough Company, the catchers being paid $25 per 1000, men with little experience make good wages. Fre- quently the doryman, with his two lines, will haul in eight or ten thousand cod during his six weeks’ or two months’ fish- ing—this is a straight fish story—and. come hore after his season’s angling with a good string of dollars. ut sometimes the schools are off on a vacation and no knowledgeof tne iaws of migration can tell just where they are swimming. The hooks swing idly down under the forty-fathom ocean and not the tiniestjsr of a nibble comes up to the man in the dory. Good and bad luck strike the chap who baits the cod in his deep-sea lair, FOR THE CHARTER. Large Number of Delegates to the Char- ter Convention Reaceived Yesterday by the Merchants’ Association.

The Tug Was Only Half an Hour at Sea When Relatives Arrived. WHERE IS THE THEOBALD? She Is Now 35 Days Out From Cooks Inlet and Fears for Her Safety Are Entertained. Another runaway couple was wedded on the high seas yesterday. Both of them were very, very sick and the bride had to be held on her feet while the ceremony ‘was being performed. The groom’s name is Oscar Waugh and thatof the bride was Kdna A. Minton. They came from Willows, Glenn County, and wereoniy halfan hour away from the wharf when relatives of the young lady arove up in hot haste, eager to stop the ceremony. They were too late, and at 4 P. M. by the clock Mr. Waugh and Miss Minton were man and wife. Early in the morning a stranger ap- proached Captain W. E. Gage of the gaso- line schooner Hettie B.and asked him whether he would marry a couple at sea. A graphic description of two lovers in dis- wress was drawn and when proot was brought that everything was fair and above board and that only obdurate par- ents stood in the way Gage gave in. When the yonng couple appearea they were ac- companied by John Rattigan and Mrs. L. Rattigan, these two being the witnesses to the ceremony. Beside these Captain Gage insisted upbon having two witnesses of his own, so there can be no doubt the couple have been securely bound. Once beyond the heads the Hettie B plunged into a stiff head sea. Everypody got sick, but Captain Gage held on his way until the three-league limit was passed. Then he called all hands into the cabin aud the ceremony was performed. Mr. and Mrs. Waugh are now debating n their own minds about returning home. ‘Waugh is not at all certain as to what kind of a reception he will receive, while his wife is only too anxious to face the in- evitable and have it all over. Thechances are that the couple will start for Willows to-morrow. ““What has become of the bark Theo- bald?” is the question that everybody is asking on the water front. She isnow out thirty-five days from Cooks Inlet, and the general impression is thatshe should have got in long ago. Captain Swan is anex- perienced master, and on him many people rely to bring the vessel into port. On therun from San Francisco to Alaska with a party of miners the Theobald had a very rough time and came near being wrecked. Her sails were blown from the bolt-ropes and a considerable portion of her bulwarks was washed away. The schooner Carrier Dove cameé off the ways yesterday and is again in commis- sion. Captain Kiusmann, son of the old- time skipper, says he has now one of the smartest vessels on the bay, and that he is ready to give any craft In her class a race. Commodore R. J. R. Adenof the Piper, Aden, Goodall Company’s fleet, Mayor of Adenvill and a well-known ship-owner and merchant of Vallejo, was on the front yesterday. Mayor Aden is a firm believer NEW TO-DAY.
