The bones | of the Savernake are bleaching on a coral reef in the South Pacific, and the men that manned her when she sailed from this port have been through a Robinson Crusoe-Swiss family Robinson experience that will give them material for conversa- tion for the rest of their lives, “Sixty-two days on cocoanuts and shell fish, and the shell doing us more harm than good. “Two months on a blooming coral reef with a lot of black beggars that used to be cannibals, and looked as If they'd blooming well like to ‘scoff’ us anyhow if we only gave them haif a chanc That's how the sailormen speak of the adventure.

Phelps, a gripman on the McAlister street line, res.qing at 8lv Central avenue, found the revuiver and cote. ‘Lhe wea- | pon was half buried i toe sand on tne veach apout half a miie soutn of the sec- tlement known as Carville. It was a cheap double action twenty-two caliber affair of Boston bulldog make, and con- tained four cartridges, one of whicu had been exploded. 1t waus neavily coated with rust, and the barrel, cylinder and all the mechanism were fiuled with sand. Tucked between the trigger and the gunrd was a wad of paper, which might ave been torn from a small note book. The paper was stained with rust from its contact with the mecal and close.y foided. In removing the paper it was badiy torn on one of the corners and the missing particles were lost. The paper bore a message written in pencil in a bold back- hand, which, as far as it could be deci- phered, was as follows: ‘When this gun is found I will be dead. T have repent * ' % I pass from this world cursed and * * coured by all. The initials of the signature were torn off, but the name “'Bennett” was plamly + | decipherable. Below the word “Bennett” ‘were the five letters ‘‘uller,” but the “¥"" ‘was torn off. One of the young men said in regard to the find: *'We first looked on the matter as a joke, but remembered we had read in a morn- ing paper that A. II. Brown, proprietor of the Oyster Bay restaurant on kighth avenue and Fulton street, had seen a man who appeared to be injured in the head at his place on the morning of January 12, and that the mysterious stranger re- sembled the description of the murderer. We at once realized that there might be the revolver and the story of Brown and determined to make our discovery public in hopes that it might aid in solving the mystery of Nora Fuller's murder.” The size of the revolver and cartridges and the handwriting on the note all seem to point to the conclusion that the evj- dence was placed on the beach by some ‘one who was desirous of perpetrating a hoax. The cartridges are of BB size and do not contain enough powder to inflici a serious wound, unless held to some part of the body which offers a minimum re- sistance. The handwriting, while plain, does not seem to resemble In any manner that of the man who signed the name C. Hawkins to the real estate dealer’'s book, or who inserted the advertisement in a morning newspaper.,. Gradually the police are coming to the theory that the man who is responsitie for the death of Nora Fuller is either a traveling man from the East, or a resident of some of the towns close to REDERICK TooLE MASTER AND SOME OF THE SHIPW’RE(;KED CREW OF THE BRIT- ISH BARK SAVERNAKE WHO ARRIVED HERE YESTERDAY FROM THE SOUTH SEAS ON THE STEAMSHIP ZEALANDIA. —¥* | San_Franclsco, who is of such standing in his home community as to" entirely escape suspicion.

My chronometer was greatly in crror and had taken me about thirty miles out ot my course. From November 14 until January 17, when the French gunboat Zelee arrived at Rio and took them aboard,-the ship- wrecked mariners lived on the natural products of the island. They found it poor fare, and when rescued were greatly reduced in flesh. They were all blessed witn good health, however. There had been no accidents’'in getting ashore from the wreck, and barring a weariness of cocoanut diet, it was a pretty fit look- ing ship’s company that arrived in Pa- peete on the Zelee. Captain Goes for Assistance. Captain Tolle, with two men, left Rio December 17 in a small boat in search of assistance, He had learned of schooners that were due at Manga Reva, an island 300 miles distant. They reached Manga Riva on the third day, having been driven the whole 300 miles by a series of fierce squalls. _Finding no available vessel 'at Manga eva, Captain Toole decided to continue his cruise as far as Tahiti, 1200 miles distant. It was against the French law, however, for an open boat to leave the ‘barbor, 50 he was compelled to wait. A trading vessel arrived January 10 and the skipper offered, for $1000, to pick up the shipwrecked crew and take them to MAKING READY T0 GELEBRATE Monster Programme Is Promised for St. Pat- rick’s Day.

The officer ‘of the Zelee had heard of the ‘plight of the Savernake's crew from the mate of the wrecked ship. Getting no word from Captain Toole the mate and three of the saiors started out on their own account for Papeete. They were picked up by the schooner Maurice about 200 miles from their destination and by her taken to Papeete, where they re- ported the wreck of the-Savernake and asked assistance for those remaining on the reef.

In all the history of Troop A, First Cav- alry, National Guard of California, no election campaign has been fraught witi greater interest and excitement than the one now in progress. It is only a mat- ter of'the sclection of a first lieutenant, but the troopers are divided against them- selves and promise a political battle with- out parallel in this recent season of mili- tia_serenity. The fight for the military position is be- tween TMirst Lieutenant C. F. Wells and E. A. Pierre, an officer of equal title but of junior grade. Wells is one of the old National Guardsmen and served conspicu- ously in Light Battery A long before that organizatipn was converted into a eavalry command” Pierre is also credited with a good record In the State service. The elec- tion will be held Wednesday evening. Wells appears to be in the forefront of the running, but a deal of campaigning i= going on and the result is yet a matter of conjecture.
