It ts the tale of the little steamer Javary of ‘the Booth line, arriving this morning from @ voyage of 2,500 miles down the Amazon River. With a cargo of rubber and futs, she sailed from Iquitoes, Peru, on July 12. Incidents without number marked the voyage down the river, and she sailed home through a sea of blood without @ drop of blood being shed. Capt. Alexander Alexander is master of the Javary, and many a trip he has made and down’ the Amason. The fret ig G. N. Duff of Ireland, the second R. B. Furneaux and the third J. 1, Williams. All are familia with the waters of ti igators and its blood sucking vam- bats. On the second day out, with just a whiff of breeze to temper the heat, the Javary was coming along slowly, as all ips do in those waters at the start. ‘Mr. Duff—they call all oMficors “Mr.” on all weil regulated ships—was on deck. ‘A huge alligator showed bis ugly head dbove the water near the river bank, then came with a rush on to the steamer. With a bang he hit the side of the ship, and the force of the shock bounced thim back. Mr. Duff had never seen any- thing like that before, but then he had never seen an alligator as big as this fellow. Again and again he assaulted the steel piates, \ithout harming any- thing but himself. MR. 'GATOR KEEPS HIS EVE ON THE MATE. Mr, Duff walked forward, looking over the side, and the alligator followed him in the water. When they got to the bow the attacking party renewed the attack, A kedge anchor hung over the bow, for in those waters they have to be ready always to drop @ hook or throw it into the bank to warp around @ bend. The kedge {se let go by with- drawing a ateel pin from its dastening. Mr. Duff waited until the alligator was rushing head on at the bow plates, then pulled the pin. With an awful bump the hook smashed down upon the head of the, moet surprised alligator ever seen in the Amazon, and hook and alligator disappeared beneath the sur- face. The mate quickly pulled on the anchor, and by and dy the assailant of the Javary arose some diatance away from the vessel. He looked reproach- ¢ully at the mate and scurried for the bank. Mr. Duff 1s of the opinion that the alligator went suddenly “loco,” which accounted for him attacking tife ship. Third Mate Williams plays the man- dolin. He is a tine performer, and can play anything from ragtime to Rigo- letto. But the ofMfcers like to hear hin play on de One evenin; episode, he w: being at anchor under the foliage of the bank. As he played heard a whistling accompaniment to lay. He stopped, puzzled, and “For the information of the public The Bvening World shows to-day that the and clubs can mal identical arrangement with the Ind perident cab Owners’ Association as ‘hey formerly had with the Yellow and the ,Mason-Seaman Company and get equally prompt service.

Tt was only a few da: after this occurrence that Second jeer Fur- neaux, who was on deck, noticed a most peculiar phenomenon in the water ahead of the vessel. The river had sud- denly turned black, The officer called the captain and, by and by, through the glass they made out an immense school of turtles, They were thick as logs in a jam in the Northwest, The motor boat had to be lowered and the turtles shoved off with pikes, just as they handle a log Jam, to make way for the steamer, The Jam extended for nearly half a mile, All the way down the river mos- quitoy were thick as files about a mola: nd the torture of the men was exquisite, A swarm of vam- No condiment can equal it for delicacy of flavor.
