Throe year after the Sepoy rebellion had
been, pat dowa in India, and with the coun-
try, under such military and legal cliseipline
as it hed never known before, I was at Hy-
derebad, a large town 500 miles east of
Bombay, in the province of Dekkan. It
was there 'that a Sand orprofession a thugs
numbering thirty-two men was captured
and executed in 1860 The vigorous search
after and prompt punishment of criminals
iVaa having a due effect, and not a case of
poisoning or strangling had been known
about Hyderabad for several months. In
fact these two classes of murderers were sup-
posed to have become extinct in that prov-
ince. One morning a ryot, or farmer, was
feund dead on tho public•square, and it was
speedily discovered that he had been choked
jo death, The imprints proved it to be the
work of et *angler. The thug used a cord,
while the strangler used his fingers. His
marks could not be mistaken. He brought
his thetas together on the "Adam's apple,"
while the ends of the fingers got their pur-
chase just below the vietina'a elm. Some-
times the fineere clinched his ears or hair.
The "mark" was always plain to be seen on
he neck. Now and then a Inctim was at-
tacked from behind. In such cases the
tramgler's thumbs were brought together
n the back of the neck, and his fingers were
()eked together over the "apple."
Several suspects were arrested, but noth-
ng came of it. About twenty days efter
the first case a woman was found dead with-
-tx three blocks of the publio square, and
;she had also fallen a viotim to the strangler.
Not only had she been choked to death,
but her neck was broken. The police were
gain aroused, and bodies of cavalry scour-
ed the country and brought in dozens of
uspicions characters, but as in the other
ase webbing eould be proven and all had to
0 released. At the Investigation almost
very sweet made the same reply as fol.

"No, sahib, I am ashamed to admit that

ongdr men, but slaves. I no longer have
towage, but ani a coward and dare not lift
my band," •
• Ten days later the strangler counted his
third viotim, and Ws time it was a Euro -
poen. Only at rare intervals before the
Mutiny hal a Europeen fallen a yietim to
Alto profeseionale of any class. It seemed to

lepartment attached to the tax collector's
etiliao, I believe. Ho had been ill for a week

bungalow in the heart of the town. Ten or
as, dozen clerks kept "beelielors' hall" ta-
saber and there were half a dozen native
servants to take care of the place. This
clerk, whose name was Adams, had a native

that he was known by was Peter. When I

turned a, reply that he was ill; but half an
hour later he put in an appearance and ex-
plained that he wasfeeling better. We had

I knew ho had a monkey at the stable and
his explanation was perfectly satisfactory:
The matter was forgottenin a moment and
it would never have occurred to me again
but for what followed. It Was a searching
hot day, and after an hour's work we soaght
the shade to rest. As I was lighting my
pipe for a smoke Peter observed that he was
very thirsty and would • viiit a spring he
knew of about a quarter of a mite away.
The field on which we were working bad
once been cleared, but was now pretty well
grown over with bushes and small trees. He
disappeared at my back, and I gave him no
further thought for many mivates. 1 had
out my book and was making some field
notes when all of a sudden it struck me
that Peter had a peonliar look as he explain-
ed how he had received the wounds .on his
hands. I remembered that his face harden-
ed and that there was a cruel &atter in his
eyes. Thinga of this sort never strike one
at the moinent,but are vivid when recalled.
When I remembered his looks I wondered
that. he had not killed the monkey for at-
tacking Min, and. I redacted that the man
must have a hot temper when aroused. I
do not suppose I devoted over five minutes
to this train of thoutglit. As tante passed by
I forgot my surroundings while busy with
the petted. Peter had been gone about
thirty minutes, as I afterwarcl figared up,
when I was suddenly clutched by the throat.
I was leaning back against a tree hardly
larger than a man's artn, and was reclining
to the left. My eyes caught no glimpse of
anything, nor had my ears detected the
elighest sound to put me on my guard.
The first sensation was exactly like that
of falling. I remember a roaring in my
ears and fireworks dancing before my eyes,
and 1 was perfectirconscams thatmy throa-t
was in the clutch of human fingers. What
saved me was the tree and the position in
which I sat. I did not realize that I strug-
glad to break the clutehabut I did put forth
a mighty effort. My right shoulder and
arm were a lever against the strangler's
right wrist, and as I heaved I broke his
clutch and leaped to my feet. It was Peter,
as you have saspected. He had only gone
a few rods away and then turned and crept
back on me like a serpent. His route was
through bushes and vines, but when I came
to go over it I could not find that be had
broken a twig. My springing up threw hint
down, but be was on his feet like a cat, and
with a cry like that of an enraged beast he
sprang for my thromt again. His eyes were
fairly blazing, his face distorted with pas-
sion, and I realized in an instant tilet it was
his life or mine.
•
•
He clutched for my throat with his right
hand as we rolled about and 1 caught the
ends of his firs; two fingers in my teeth and
bit to the bone. That one bite gave me
victory. Still gripping his fi ngers 1 strug-
gled to my knees, reached for my revolver,
and 1 had, the muzade against his body when
the thought. flashed across my mind that he
was the professional atramgler wanted by
the police. Up to that instant I had no
thought as to why he attacked me. When
I dropped his fingers and covered him with
the revolver he made no further resistance.
The native of India, like the Arabs, believes
in fate.
"Sahib, you have won,"ho said as I stood
over him. (It was to be, and so it is. Do
as you will with me."
"Peter, why should yon seek my life?"
I asked, even yet half hoping there might
be seine mistake abaut
Why did I strangle the others, sahib?
A voice commanded me, anti I obeyed."
"Good heavens but you are not the
murderer of the farmer, the clerk, and the
soldier—you who have been considered so
faithful to the English ?"
"Even so, sahib, It was to be and it is.
Take me to the police and 1 will admit
everything and die like a man."

"D. A. Tiekis, Little Current."
This name and address appeared on the
register at the Walker house early last
week. The name is oae whieb, ten years
ago was familiar to almost every person' ill
Ontario as that of thenole male. survivor of
the Asia. -
The Asia, ib will be remembered,wee a
propellor thatwent down in Georgian bay
ton years ago last month, carrying with her,
with the exception of Mr. Tinkis and Miss
Morrison, the 200. unfortunates who formed
her passenger list and cmw.
In conversation with a reporter Mr. Tiuk is
yesterday told again the story of that ter,
rible disaster. "I went aboard at Owen
Sound, in company with my uncle, on the
night of the 13th of .September, 1882," he
said. "It was blowing heavily from the
southeast at the time, but we were anxious
to reach our home 011. the Manitoulin, and
besides we did, not anticipate any special
danger.
"The steamer was billed to call at
French River, on the east shore of Georgian
Bay, on the way up. We went to bed soon
after going on board and, although a gale
was raging all night, we did not feel it very
much Until morning, ita we were still
under shelter of the Bruce peninsula.
'About seven o'clock, as we changed our
course to run straight across the bay for
French River, theaters., now quanteving aft,
began to shake tis up pretty well. Very
few had breakfast on this account, but still
no great alarm was felt. At nine

and frotri that until ten the crew was busied
in throwing over freight.
"Between ten aud eleven the excitement
was torrtble. Men and women, crazed
with fear, were rushing aroancl tearing the
hair from their heads m handfuls. Rev.
Mx, James, who had been a missionary at
the Island, was one of the few passengers
who kept cool and lie went about among
the others administering tho consolations of
religion, and urging all to be calm.
".13at it was of no use. The wind sud-
denly chopped from the southwest to the
northwest, and with a crash the vessel
rolled over on her beam ends, The sea
was now like a mountainous whirlpool
and. the ship was helpless. The aft gang.
way, leading from the promenade to the
main deck, was jammed with men, women,
and children who could get neither up nor
down. At every pitch this mass would
writhe and twist like a serpent while the
waves broke over them. from above. The
horses in the meantime—there were about
ten of them aboard—had broken loose and
at overyroll they were thrown from one
side of the main deck to the other.
"About this time my uncle and I, with
a number of the passengers, moved up to
the promenade deck forward of the cabin.
W. D. Henry, of King Township, was
there, too. In a little while wo were join-
ed by Purser :McDougall, carrying the books
belonging to his office. As soon as I saw
that I knew that, whatever hope there might
have been before was all gone.
"The cabin was already broken in at
several points, but still the old omit float-
ed. At last, about 11.30, she pitched up by
the bead and went down stern Brat, the
cabins breaking off, and the boats, crowded
with people, floating as she did so.
"At the very first sea, however, the
cabin went to smash awl the mass of people
hanging auto it were thrown into the sea,
which was now running steadily frotn the
northwest and in mountainous waves, I
was in one of the wooden boats. It was
mot= WITIr owns
I drove him before me until we encounter-
ed a troop of cavalry which bad been scour-
ing the country for suspects, and whioh
was than returning to town with no less
than twenty-six prisoners. Had Peter
denied his admissions to me nothing could
have been proved, and he only would have
been punished for assault. But he felt that
.fato had delivered him into the hands of his
enemies, and he Was willing to help convict
himself. He gave the particulars of each
murder with such detail that no doubt could
exist. It was the sergeant who had lacerat-
ed his hands. He was keeping shady while
he waited for them to heal. He would not
have accompanied me that day but for the
fear that he might be sutpected, though as
a matter of fact he would have been among
the very last to fall under the ban.
"I had no thought of strangling you when
we started oat," he said to me after his
trial. "It was ouly after you had noticed
my hands. While you appeared indifferent,
I was afraid that yon suspeoted. I could
have snatched away your pistol and shot
you dead, or I could have beaten t ou to
death with a club, but my creed would not
permit I must either strangle you or let
you live on. Had I been successful I should
have made my way north as fast as pos-
sible."
He did not hesitate to tell the police that
he was a professional strangler, and it was
with considerable pride that he exhibitedhis
flattened thumbs and illustrated the manner
in which the deadly clutch was made. He
had been a professional for upwardof twenty
years. He spent one whole day making
ont a liet of dates, localities, and victims,
and the number of murders was appalling
The figures ran up to forty-two or forty-
three, and there were seven Europeans
among them. He begged no one's forgive-
ness—had no apologies to offer.
Peter went to the gallows with the utmost
indifference. He did not even betray the
anxiety of a man walking about the street.
He was, 1 believe, the last professional
strangler executed in that province, al-
though his olass flourished elsewhere and
were picked up.one by one for many years

"At last, on Saturday morning about 9,
we saw a sail. We were both almost deliri-
ous and thought it a large vessel, although
is was only an Indian nutekinaw. I hoist-
ed my coat on the oar and the Indian came
over.
"We had practiaally been without food
since the previous Wednesday evening, and
this was near noon on Saturday. But the
Indian had fat pork and 'choke dog,' and
from that I obtained the best meal I ever
had in my life.

and too far for the Indian. Instead he
agreed to turn us into Parry Sound and we
reacited there Sunday morning. The first

and scores hung on by the sides, and others
further out in the water clung to them again.
But tide could not last long, The sea soon
broke the hold of those in the water and
filled our boat at the same time.
"As she was about to sink I sprang over
and swam for the metallic lifeboat. There
were great combs on every wave, end these,.
loaded with floating debris, breke over my
head every time I came up on the crept. My
hands and bead were both out and bleeding,
but I reached the lifeboat and managed to
olamber in.
"Notwithstanding the horror of the
scene, it was incomparably grand and awe-
inspiring. Every time we went down in tho
hollow we seemed in a valley of endless
length with towering mountains on both
sides. Some were still banging to pieces of
floating Amick, but we were driving fast
before the sea and soon lost sight of wreck-
age and the other boats as well.
"Behind was the gulf into which two
hundred had just sunk out of sight, all
about was a mountainous sea. and no land
was visible from any quarter. There were
about thirty people in the boat when I first
got in, but, as we only had one oar and
could not direct her, she upset in passing
over almost every wave and at each upset
some were lost,
"There were two brothers—Sparks, of
Ottawa—aboard. They were splendid fel-
lows. At one upset a WOITIall grasped one
about the neck and pulled him down. The
other seized the life line and held on to the
side for two hours. We each had all we
could do to take care of onrselves and none
could give him a hand. He was too W3
to pull himself in, but for two hours he held
fast to the line and floated. It was the
finest exhibition of nerve and endurance I
ever saw in my life. But at last he had to
let go and was drowned.
About 7.30 in the evening we came in
sight of Bying Inlet light. The wind had
gone down, but the sea was still' high. Of

were now left : Capt. Savage, Mate Mc-

toulin, a Montrealer, Miss Morrison and
myself.
1 thought—we allthought—these would
all live to reach the shore, although two
hours before a French deck,hand had. gone
crazy and jumped overboard. As the light
gleamed over the billows we all, led by the
mate, began singing 'Pull for the Shore.'
But the song ceased; and one by one the
singers fell into that sleep that knows no
waking, The Montreal ma:ladled at eight.;
Little went next •and.tha mate who had been
singing's° joyfully a little over three hours
before—succumbed at eleven. I felt the
