It was a party of four sturdy young fel.
lows who founcl themselves after a weary
and dangerous journey of eiX days from,
Westport on the top of dlorint William, of
the Southern Alps of New Zealand, hi
November, last..
They lied pitched their tent in a gully
that seemed to have been the refuge Of mo-
squitoes for centuries, but by lyieg close. to
the fire and smoking heavy tobacco they
managed t o get a little rest. They had
brought four dogs with them for the pur-
pose of heating the pigs, but whether it was
advieable to take them, after the goats was
a matter of mach discussiou. Finally it
was agreed upon to leave them tied up at
the tent.
Early hi the following morning they eet
out anti soon found theta herd of goats had
lately been neer their last wimp. They
hastened ou lepers uit through a wild, weird
country. Sometimes they struggled through
the dense forest with thiele underwoocl that
greatly impeded their advance and tore their
stout buckakia clothing into shreds. Low
growing, beautiful ferns, rough, gigantic
brakes and millions of parasitical plants
with white aud red flowers surrounded them
on every side, while a hundred einging birds
warbled and flitted merrily from tree to
tree. Then again they would be forced to
creep on hands and kneee over and under
immense boulders or, with the greatest dif-
&miter, to round a craggy precipice„ where
the sitglitese giddiness meant e horrible
death In the chasm that waited silently be'
ow to destroy the men who had daredtempt
its eruelty.

But suddenly angora were forgotten, for
beyond a sharp turn, and about lielf a mile
away, 1, herd of goats were seen lezily pick-
ing up a little food or chewing their cads;
several little kids gamboled about in the
heyday of youth and eareleaspese, while a
noble specimen of a buck stood contemplet-
ins his kingdom, Approaching warily under
shifter of trees or rocks, and against the
wind, we could eee that he was a magnificent
creature, standing over four feet bigli, with
colossal ringed horns of about twenty letchea
in length; his beard was only a few inches
from the gronnd, aud a shaggy black and
white coat of long hair pre hirn a formid-
able appearance arid made him look much
larger than he really was. Our eyes water-
ed with delight aa we took stock of him,
and each mentally determined to secure the
Prre.
„ we eame slowly nearer and nearer,
the "Billy " became more and more suspi-
cious of some unseen enemy who was
threatening the safety of Ifireself or some of
his subjecte. He sniffed the wink, looked
up aud down and all around, walked
mejestieally hither and thither, while his
family me and follosved. Something had
frightened him; what could it be? Look

Sure euouglt, there WW1 the dog. Every
gun was leveled at the his
panting beast
to punish him for hts faithfoluese, but
better impulse eaved him. No more work
for that day, We slept on the spot. Jit
the morning we secured Nero more firmly
and started out again, After two hours'
perilous walking we again sighted the sam
herd. We came upon them unexpectetil
in a pitch of small scrub 3110 feet away o
the side of a. preeipie.e that ran down to
sparkling cascade. The scrub prevented n
from usieg our old-fashioned muzzle loaders,
so we quietly and carefully cut pieces of the
tieti tree, and forming them into a kind of
bower that hid us from sight, slowly and.
cautiously advanced.

Each of es wished to get the buck for the
s tke of his horns, so eve cast lots for the
first shot. George Williams won. Ineh

while the stones disturbed by the pate
above rattled not over pleasentli down upon

was blowing strongly against us. Every-
thing was in our favor. Now we are only
100 yards away. A little nearer and we are
all right. Keep coo, boys, and don't get
excited. Now is the chance 1 There are
seven goats just ahead of us, and in their
midst stands the lordly male. Now every
gun is thrown to the shoulder. No missing
them this time. George has the first shot.
He seems a little nervous. He fires! and
down drops the she goat on the right of
the buck. Ere our astonishment is over
Kerrigan has fired and brought Sown the
buck. Two more reports and two more
pate fall, cleanly shot. The others have
disappeared.
After three days' hunting sve left this
field of danger and sport to seek another.
Accompanied by our doge we started
across the ran . es for Motucka. Valley, be-
tween which and us many wild pigs scour
the foresb and field. On our journey, which
lasted a week, we dined daily on royal fare.
A young kid would serve us better than
the most dainty dish of venison, while
pigeons, kakasa and this formed a meal fit
for a Luoullus.
Now for the pigs. A few years ago the
descendants of Captain Cook's gift to the
Maoris became so numerous in this fertile
land that they caused a serious annual loss
to the farmer. In their search for roots
they destroyed the grass and hence the food
of -sheep and cattle. A bonus was offered
of half a crown—a little more than half a
dollar for every pig. This researd aroused
the slumbering energies of natives and hun-
ters and hundreds of pig -killers made a
handsome living. Their method was to
hunt the pigs with dogs trained to ily at
the grunters and hold them by the ear until
the hunters could give the struggling besets
the coup de grace by stiekingthem to death
with the long pole belted at the end with a
short, heavy piece of iron or steel.
flush. Ha 1 that is the kind of game we
want ! The doge recognize, a higher and
mightier foe and go for the boars, Each of
the dogs springs at an ear, but they are
thrown otr as if they were rats.
Hen and hounds feel that there is to be a
warm struggle. We havecast our guns end
oeher impediments from us and abide our
time, epear in hand. The boare strive. he
slash the dogs with their long, curved tusks,
but the hottuds nimbly evade them, at the
same time biting at the flank and ear of the
pigs. The latter see us and make desperate
efforts to shake off the dogs and attack the
men, The excitement inereases, for the
tow has come upon the scene, and in self-
defence we are obliged to dispatch her. One
of the boars, with a dog han.ing to its leg,
makes a rush toward George Williams. He
stands coolly awaiting the 'onslaught with
his feet firmly planted on the earth, and
bolding the spear poised ip both his hands.
He is a strong man, and we are all sure
that he will be lucky this time in downing
the fleet game. Zish—goes the spear iato
the side of.the boar, but instead of falling
it rushes on, forcing poor George to the
ground.
A NARROW esoltre.
Before we can come to his aid tire mad-
dened beast 1 as gashed him twice in the
thigh. With a cry of horror we see the
ground wee with his blood. But before the
brute has time to do farther injury the
three of us have sent home our spears. Even

but Kerrigan falls across him and sends his

George was carried to the eamp, where we
were obliged to remain a fortnight before
the sufferer could proceed.

SURV.EY OF GEORGIAN BAY.

IRO the 1Vork that Ilas Oren Done,
In 1833, awing to the numerous disastera
whielx were coetinually taking place in
Georgian bay on ncount of the unknown
rooks and ehoels witieh abound, the Domin-
ion Goveriunent decided On a complete sur-
vey of the coast and accordingly the spring
of 18:11 saw the arrival of Capt. Boulton,
R, N., from England to take charge of the
work, at which he has been engaged ever
since. Yesterday he passed through the
city oe his way to Ottawa after the eon
-
elusion of his seascrt's operations. Talking
to the reporter the captain remarked that
he could hardly say very moll about his
work without a breach of confidence, but
what he could he would. Before leaving
Owen Sound Capt. Boulton was requested,
owing to the illness of Lieut. Gordon,
eolith:4,1 adviser to the INiinister of Ilarine
and Fisheries, to test the newly launched
revenue cutter II. M. S. Constance. This
was interesting', owing to the neceasity of
laying out a nule ?Von water, a thing which
the captain says has never been done in
Canada before. The method employed was
to measure a mile on shore to mark it with
e huge beacons, and then by the use of purel-
y Iola to transfer it to the water, buoys being
n droppecl at either end. Having reported
a favorably on the cater, Capt. Boulten,
s with his party, composed of five ofileers and '
men, sealed from Owen Sound on hoard

by th e way, whi oh gets its name fromAdmiral
Bayfield, Capt. Boulton's predeceasor of
nearly a quarter of a century ago —for Parry
Sound to finish a section which they lied
not completed during the previous year.
They then took up the section between
Wa. :letushene and Parry Sound (including
the Christian islands), but were unable

This will probably be finished about the
middle of next summer, Sufficient, how-
ever, was done to show that these waters,
widen are in reality the head waters of the
bay, are splendidly suited for navigation by
the largest vessels, the harbors being good
and the approaches comparatively free from
danger. In the captain's opinion the best
solution of the north-western freight ques-
tion would be the establishment of a port
somewhere between Parry Sonnd and Wau-
baushene, which would be ahnost due west
from Ottawa, and a direet line of railway
to Montreal via Ottawa. A rather curious
eircumetance of the trip was the fact that
two of the party took typhoidfever ahd one
diphtheria. (Japt. Boulton attributed thie
phenomenon to the drinking of too much
water while rowing 10 the shallows offshore,
a thing, as the captain waggishly said,
rather unusual with sailors. Capt. Bout -
ton left last night for Ottawa where he will
be . engaged in plotting and draughting
from his summer notes till spring, when,
having severed his connection with the Gov-
ernment and accepted a position on the staff
of the British Hydrographer, which is being
kept open for him, he will go to London,

Season the survey of Oeorgian bay will
probably not be completed for at least two
years, as two long stretches Edamg the south-
ern shore of the bay still remain unsurvey-
ed. These are from Christian island to
Collingwood and front Cape Rich to Thorn-
burg ; but, when these are done'not only
will the whole of Georgian hay have been
surveyed, hub also the north channel of lake
Huron as far as St. Mary's river. Capt.
Boulton also reports that the Bayfield, in-
stead of being laid up this year as usual,
will go out again 10 November, under com-
mand of Capt McGregor, Capt. Boulton's
old sailing master and pilot, to watch the
fisheries during the close seas on.
GEORGE'S SAD VENTURE.
Now, however, the pigs are not so num-
erous, although there are plenty for sport.
We had provided ourselves with hunting
spears and determined to have as much fun
as possible. On the eighth day, as we were
Meandering through the brush with our
dogs at our heels, we were startled by a
porcupine grunt in our vicinity. The dogs
broke away at once to a large clump of
thorny bush and out rushed a big sow with
a litter of squealing' young. She dashed
straight at the first dog, but not being the
kind of game we sought we called off the
dogs.
The mother, by the love of offspring in-
furiated, bit, squealed, and trampled wall-
ciously around. Her cries brought help in
the shape of two huge brown and black
boars. 'What savage leoking brutes they

AN ADVENTTJRE ON rHB ROAD.
A Drummer's Brenta; Able and,
PiRosaui Incident.
" 1 remember on one occasion," said the
dreamer, appareetly going far back in his
memory, "when I had oue of the queerest
experiences that ever fell to my Aare."
We ell here them," ventured 0young-
ster, who was out an his first trip.
The drummer merely looked at 14,3 and
then went on with his stery.
"1 was going to see a customer who lived
about ten miles from the reilroad," he said,
" I reached the statiaa about 7 o'clock
in the evening and it was a half moonlight
night, I concluded I'd drive over at oece
end get back in time for the train at 10
o'clock neet morning. The road was fairly
geed, though it was a lonesome one and I
feltpretty sure I could drive iv in three
hours, carrying a heavy trenk., I got away
by o'clock with a, pair of horses, doing my
own driving, and for the first five miles noth-
bag oceurred. In fact, everything Was going
so smoothly that I began to doze. After a
number of rods I was suddenly awakened
by the noise of wheels just behind me, and
looking back I was almost frightened by a
harse's nose nearly ever iny shoulder. He
was hitehed to a buggy in which sat a man
and a woman.
'Look out, there,' I yelled, and wnipped
up my own team.
Their horse fell back, bet they made no
reply and I drove on and nodded again, only
to be awakened as before.
"Then became mare angry and said a
number of Ohms to which I received no
?newer. Indeed, neither man or woman S')mach* as looked up ab me, but kept their
faces &awe, and did not even pull up their
tines. The horse fell back, though, aaid fol.
lowed twenty feet or more behind me. The
moon was beclouded at this time and I
could not see very distinctly, but I did not
nod any more, for I was not exactly satis-
fied with my company. I called to them
several times, but they remained silent.
'They kept right along behind me, though,
for three miles. and at two or three
places I took little side roads I knew of,
which led back again to the maks roa.d, and
the others did the same. Once or twice on
long stretches I touched up my horsee, but
the horse behind me followed at the same
epeed. The longer this thing kept upthe
more nervous I became, and once or twice I
thought I must be having a nightmare. The
last mile of the road was good, and I con-
cluded rather thou to have a row with
these midnight intruders I would run away
from them, and as I turned into the home
stretch I let my team go at its best, and I
went along at a four -linnet° gait but right
behind me came the other horse, trottin
smoothly and whinnying every now an
then. Somehow lila the cold chills down
my back, and e, panic seized me. I didn't
know why, I laid the whip on and my team
broke ieto a. deed rum evidentlyfeeling my
own fright and showing. the signs of fear
they say animals show 1.n the presenee of
ghosts.
"Bet running was of little avail. The
other horse was inneh better than mine
and he came after me with bis nose nearly
in my buggy, and the two people never
making a move to pull him up. With a
yell at last dashed up to the store of my
eustomer, who hadn't gone to bed yet, ad
he came out with three or four men on the
rush, and I almost fell out of my rig as he
asked what was the matter."
I summed, 'there, there,' and
I pointed back to where I had nen. rny
ghostly visitants, but they had disappear-
ed."
"'He's got the jim-jams,' loudly sug-
ested one of the men, and I thoughteps-
ibly I had, but I rubbed my eyes and look -
ti around, and fifty yards down the road I
aw the thing that had followed me. It
iad evidently passed me when I pulled into
he store so suddenly, and I told the men
o go after it. They did so, and in a minute
hey came back with a yell that beat mine.
" 'Jim -jams, is lel' I asked scornfully.
" 'No • dead people,' replied one with
is teeth' chattering.
" It was so, too, I found out when we
ad get a drink, and braced up enough to go
fter it again. They had been strangled
or pure malice evidently and had been tied
n their buggy alai sent adrift. The horse
eing a strange one in that section, had been

When the drummer finished the young-

life and adveutures in Australia, Mr. Ha
tells
A GRUESOME may
of his lying on top of a loaded dray heneat
a, gumtree, with a crow perched just aboe
him, waiting for the end, The fear thee h
eyes would he torn out while he was y
alive seemed to give him a stimulus, an
from that point, hia illness turned and he r
covere.l. He afterward went to the We
ga diggings with Mr, G. D. McCormiek
who, strangely enough, was born on th
same day and year as Mr. Here, and man
yeurs afterward both were made pollee.=
istrates in the sante year. Mr. Hare wa
desirous of joining the Victorian mounte
police, and on J une I, 1S54, lie was appoiu
ed a lieutenant the force by .Mr. (after
ward Sir) \V, F. IL N1414011, In his late
days in the police feeee the more atirrin
episodes in Mr. Hare's experiences were tit
captured Power, the bushranger, who, afte
surviving many vicissitudes and a ion
term of imprisonment, is supposed to ha.v
been accidentally drowned in the Lowe
Murray nob long ago.
Mr. Hare was one of the party led by Mr
Charles Nieholson, now a police magistrate
which captured Power, the other member
of ehe party being Inspector Moutford an
Donald, a black tracker. With a prowls
of a rewerd of £500 they werea.ble to semis
the help of an associate of Power's, whole
them to what was thought to be the safea
of Power's retreats in the ranges. The only
road to it was past the hous.e of the Willis
a. notorious family and active friends of
Feuer. As the bushranger afterward
stated, one of his best sentinels was a pea-
cock at Quinn's house ; but on the nIght of
the capture the pollee party got past with-
out the peacock giving the alarm.
AT DAYBREAK
hey came on Power's hut, which was at
ieth
once„red upon, the bushranger being
asleep inside, and dlr. Nicholson had hold
of him before he could lay hands on his fire
arms. Still more stirring were the inci-
louts connection with the notorious
Kelly gang of bushrangers, Mr. Hare hay -
ng command of the district police at the
time the gang were finally exterminated.
They had been criminals, chiefly horse and
attic stealers, from childhood, but their
utlawry commenced with the shooting of
hree mounted troopers on the Wombat
engee in October, 1878. From time time
he pick of the Vietorian police, aided by
ix Queensland trackers, were in pursuit
f them; but, aided by a. wonderful system
f busk telegraphing, the help of friends
nd relatives almost as criminal as them•
elves, and a thorough knowledge—gained

y two well-planned and daring bank rob-
eries, Mr. Hare was given the command of
lie Kelly country after the successful raid
pon the Euroo, Bank.
One of his first acts was to seek an inter-
iew with Aaron Sherritt, who, like Ned
'<ally and Joe Byrne,was physically spleu-
id type of a bushman, but a knowitsympa-
hizer with the outlaws and a participator
some of their earlier and less serious
orse-stealing raids. I3y a promise of the
hole reward of .£8,000 offered for the gang
ead or alive, Sherritt's co-operation was
cured, and Mr. Hare had always a belief
the genuineness of his assistance, though
her officers doubted himi
. Mr. Hare, n
s book, tells how Mrs. Bryne, the mother
one of the bushrangers, found her way
e day into a police camp and recognized
aron Sherritt as he lay asleep. Sberritt
arising this hen he awoke, turned deadly
le and said; "Now I am a dead man,"
d the prophecy proved to be a correctone.
lerritt's connection with Mr. Hare was so
hie known that he was once fired on by
e police and on another oecasion arrested
✓ horse stealing. On the 28th of June,
nie considerable time afterward, and just
ter Mr. Hare had a second time been gwen
mmand of the police in Kelly county,
aron Sherritt was called out of his hut one
ght by a German neighbor, who was then

nowing that upon news of this further
urder a special train would be sent to
eechworth with police and trackers, Ned

d, taking possession of the town, tare up
e line in order to wreak the special. The
ory of the stopping of the special and the

a familiar one. Mr. Hare led the rush of
lice on Jones' Hotel at Glenrowan, but
as shot through the wrist and disabled on
e first volley. He directed the attack for
rre time, but being finally faint from loss
blood, had to leave for Benallis.
He received afterward the congratulations
th of his Excellency the Governor and
e Chief Secretary. A great deal of dis-
nsion among the police force followed, and
r. Hare, retiring from office, was made a
lice magistrate in 1881, which place he
d since held. While his discretion in
