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. ows "No, sahib, I am ashamed to admit that an not gnilty of this crime. We ace no 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 am an understood thing with allnot to med. alle with them in any manner. The viatiin in this case wita a clerk in the civil -service lepartment attached to the tax collector's etiliao, I believe. Ho had been ill for a week !er two anti was occupying a room in a. 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 Ian for a nurse, but was almost octave - ascent. One uight at 10 (Mock be sent his tutu with a note to a bungalow half a mile is:ant The nurse wits absent about three \waters of an hour and upon his return he mind Adam 40. There was the mark a his throat dui there was no question lint his living been the victim of a pro. tessional, and probably of the same fiend who had strangled the other two. • The police end the military now quite 1,3st their heads. During the following week there were about700 arrests some of them being made 200 miles away. 'Nothing ice detective work was attempted, and as consequence even5- suspect bail to be die - &aged for want of any evidence against, in. The authorities seemed to go on the a that if a sufileiona number of people were tested the guilty party would somehow ray himself. Strong efforts were made throe or four cases to convict on shady imony, but after a few weeks every son who had been arrested was set at rty. Being new to the country, and in taken a great interest in the work of =Mating the " professionals " I asked information on every hand. "professionals," day, in erving witha Maj.

This his victim was a sergeant of inYantry, he met his death on the highway be- n the town and the camp. It was it 9 o'clock in the evening when he sed for camp, and it was known that he considerably n under the influence of or. He was tilmest a giant in size and gbh, and it was reasonable to conclude he had made something of a struggle, though half drunk and taken unawares. ed, when the surgeon came to look him blood, was found in his finger nails to o that he had lacerated the hands of his erer. This was a point to go, but was even considered by the authorities. V followecnahe course previously pur- and made severe' hundred arrests. a the third day after the sergeant's ii Ihad a bit of chain work to do on a paace of land two Miles east of the town, andmy helper was a native who hadserved in the department for a year. He' wai middle-aged man, very slender, arpl his Weight was net. above 120 pounds. ' He had . drifted into the town at the close of the war, and it was said •• of him that he came from the uorth and had • been faithful to the •English during the struggle. t When not acting as a helper in . the field he had the eare of some horses be - hinging to the:department. The only name that he was known by was Peter. When I • sent hint Wind that I wanted him he re- 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 reached tee field and had fairly begun work • when ' my attention was attracted to his bandit The banks of both were scratched and Ian-at:teat though the wounds were half "lheale a wee the monkey at the stables who aid it, eantat" he captained at •Int. held up is kad or inspection' • "i was teasing him and he got revenge. 1 well sell him if I can find a buyer." 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." • STORY OF ZEE ASIA. That Awfal Night in Creorglan nay Ten Years Ago,—Oaie of the Two .Sole Suss". von in loronlo. "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 Tam $EA WA i RAISING 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 alter. • - Over And Over Again.

I turned back and in a few minutes reached the shore, bat at another point. Then I calted for Min Morrison but she was too weak to answer, and it was not until after a considerable time had elapsed that I found her. "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. "I tried to get the Indian to take us to Manitoulin, but that Was eighty miles off and too far for the Indian. Instead he agreed to turn us into Parry Sound and we reacited there Sunday morning. The first meal 1 tnet was 'Josh' Belcher, then of the Belle, bat now purser of the Atlantic. You may be sere I never was so glad to see anyone in my life. • "J. C.

But his eye moistens and his voice shakes even yet when that awful time is recalled to his memory. STEAM ENGIN.S LORE. Morland, in 1683, bent steam engines far mines.

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 the thirty with whom we started but six were now left : Capt. Savage, Mate Mc- Donald, a man named.Little from the Mani- 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 premonitory symptoms myself; an intense cold followed by numbness in the finger tips, and then' the warm glow and drowsi- ness accompanied by - " /La' ALMOST °VOLE° WERING DESIRE to doze.
