To-morrow there will be due in port n
steamship which has hud one of the most
remarkable earthquake experiences ever
told. Friday’s two shocks revived the
ilaaitinif interest in seismic disturbances
and started afresh stories of unusual ex
periences. But one more wonderful than
nny that lias yet been published is con
nected with the history of the steamship
Anerly.
Three years ago the ship was command
ed by Captain Btrachan, who is now in the
ship brokerage business on the liny. In
August, 1883, he was at Foo Chow and
Hong Knng in China after tea. When the
cargo was aboard lie steamed down to
Singapore. Having taken on water, coal
ami passengers lie cleared thence on Sat
urday, August 25. Running down along
the east coast of Sumatra he ontered Banco
strait. At 10 o’clock the next morning a
noise like distant thunder was heard, nnd
by noon it sounded like terrific cannonad
ing far off to the southwest. The sky be
came overcast, and night seemed to bo
settling down before midday was past.
IN A SHOWEH OF ASHES.
Some 300 Chinese were aboard ns pas
sengers, and they were seen holding their
garments in much the same position that a
woman would hold her apron If she was
trying to catch it full of snow. The Chi
nese cook was asked what his countrymen
were doing;, and he replied “thut they
were catching ashes,” which, he declared,
•‘tlnsted likee hellee.” The ship was in
truth passing through a light shower bf
ashes. As the vessel' sped on the cannon
ading grew louder nnd the ashes fell
thicker. At sunset the air was hazy, and
objects a short distance off could not lie
made out. A little later a dense black
cloud spread itself over the heavens, ex
cept from the zenith down almost to the
horizon on the southwest. A lightship,
which should have been seen twenty miles
off on a clear night, glimmered but feebly
when passed half a mile under the ship's
lee.
At 4 o’clock in the morning Captain
Btrachan turned in. leaving instructions to
bo called at 5. Half an hour later the first
oiliccr sent for him to come on deck and
see a wonderful phenomenon.
THE HEAVENS ON FIHE.
As ho steppod out ofiiis cabin lie saw
Hash alter flash shoot across the heavens,
nnd with hardly im interval. They showed
every color of the prism and dissolved
from one hue to another with impercepti
ble rapidity. Meanwhile tins reports, now
louder than any cannonading ever heard,
seemed almost continuous.. Now and
then there would be n moment when
the explosions would die away for a mo
ment, only to hurst forth again in a tre
mendous peal, which would be succeeded
by others so rapidly that it sounded like
the roil of Titanic thunder. The country
was a volcanic one, and the cause of the
explosions and the flashes of light were
attributed to a volcanic eruption. When
day should have broke not a ray was to
be soen. Still the ship was kepi on her
course through a heavy shower of ashes.
A strong breeze was blowing from the
southwest, and at every atmospheric
wave the barometers fluctuated an inch
and a halt,
IN TOTAL DARKNESS.
One man could not tell who was stand
ing alongside of him except by his voice.
Finally, when out in the Java .,en and
within an hour or two’s run of Ardor, the
sulphurous smell became so oppressive nnd
tho hot ashes and cinders fell so thickly
that the captain decided to turn and run
back. Tills he did and anchored within
hailing distance of the North Watcher, the
northernmost of the Thousand islands, In
eleven fathoms of water. He was then
some sixty c.dles from Krakatoa, tiie vol
cano which was in a state of eruption.
While lying at anchor there about 1
o’clock Monday afternoon there suddenly
came a heavy swell from the southwest,
striking the ship oil her fore quarter and
knocking tier half around. It seemed as
if every timber would be torn loose. She
quivered from bow ‘o “tern and croaked in
every joint. The shock could scarcely
have been harder had she struck a bank
with u full lend of steam on. She strained
at her anchor until it seemed reudy to
part. The crew was ordered to pay out
more cable, but it took a run on them and
spun out to tho last foot.
TOSSED HY THE WAVES.
Wave followed wave and threatened to
batter the vessel to pieces. In a short
time the heavy seas subsided, and the ship
swung around and around by her cable.
There had been an immense tidal wave,
and when it passed the sea seouied all lu a
swirl. By 1 o’clock the darkness had part
ly cleared, tiie terrific explosions had
ceased mid the ashes no longer fell.
The next morning. Tuesday, the Anerly
steamed over toward Anjer. As the main
land was approached hardly a familiar ob
ject was to lie seen. Where once there
had been a low coast nothing was visible
except l he sea and treo tops protruding
above the water. The ocean was covered
with floating pumice, debris and dead
bodies. Anjer itself was completely gone.
Not a steeple, telegraph pole, or even I lie
big tree which was known in all that part
of the world was to lie seen. The whole
country hud been swept have by the tre
mendous flood, and not a soul was spared
to tell tiie tale.
THE MOUNTAIN HALF SUNK.
Krakatoa, which rose up 28U0 feet out of
the sea. had split open, and one-half laid
toppled over and disappeared. The pumice
covered the sea ten feet deep, and the
ship’s speed was cut down from twelve
knots to live an hour. Two orthree islands
had disappeared, and twenty-seven had
raised their heads. Not a living person
was to be found. One hundred thousand
souls were buried beneath volcanic debris
or swept oil'the face of the land by the vol
canic wave. A steep wooded cliff, 300 feet
high, showed that the water hna raised
two-thirds of its height. At the least cal
culation the wave was200 feet high.
Tiie cataclysm was the most stupendous
on record. Four thousand natives, who
were working in a quarry on an island
near Anjer, were swallowed up iu an in
stant.
AN ISLAND SPRANG UP.
Tho floor of the ocean over a wide area
to the southeast of Sumatra was raised
into a plain above tho waters, and the
effects of the general upheaval were felt
as far as the American coast of the Pacific,
9000 miles away. Thirty-six hundred miles
away the wave was distinctly seen and
felt.
When the Anerly dually passed out of
the sea of pumice,after three days’ sailing,
her bottom was tound to be as bright as
polished steel.
The first explosions were heard on board
the steamer when she was 290 miles north
east of Krakatoa.

your Whiskey, and to-day, Inst three months
from Its use, she weighs 136 pounds, looks
better, feels better and is better than she has
been for two years. I believe her entirely
cured and thank you most heartily for the
trouble you took in prescribing the Duffy's
Formula and other favors from your excel-
lent corps of physicians, I shall praise it to
all that I think can he benefited by It, as It
him saved me an enormous doctor’s hill and

Mont happily meets the demand of the age for
woman’s peculiar afflictions. It is a remedy for
WOMAN ONLY, and for one special class of her
discuses. It is a specific for certain diseased con
ditions of the womb, and so controls the
Menstrual organs as to regulate all derangements
and irregularities of her Monthly Sickness. The
proprietors claim for this remedy no other medi
cal property. It is strictly a Vegetable Com
pound, tiie studied proscription of a learned phy
sician whose specialty was Female Diseases,
and whose fame became enviable because of his
success in the treatment and cure of feiuule com
