EIGHTEEN YEARS ALONE.
A TALE OF THE Romp.
1.
Of the group commonly called
Santa Barbara Islands, so near
main land that on the map they s
mere crumbs of the Pacific coast, li
is known even by Californians. Scar
ly an American but has read of
tropical islands where the myth
Robinson Crusoe was wrecked, yet
persons know that over the deso
steeps of a nearer island of the s
vast sea hang the mystery, the ho
and the pathos of a story of a cap
woman; a story, if it could be f
told, more thrilling than that
Crusoe, inasmuch as one is fic
the other fact ; one, the supposed
ploits of a hardy man, the other,
real desolation of a suffering wom
one, the tale of a mariner whom
waters flung against his will int
summer -land, the other, of one
voluntarily breasted the waves,
fought death, in response to the high
love of which the human heart
capa,ble.
The Santa Barbara Islands, On on -
which this strange romance was
acted, lie to the southward of Sit
Barbara channel, the nearest of
group being; about twenty-five m
distant from the main land. T
names of the islands are Anaca
Santa • Rosa, San Miguel, Saute, Cr
Santa Catilina, San Clemente, Sa
Barbara, San Nicolas. They are n
urtinha,bited, and have been so
years. The islands nearer the coast
used for sheep -grazing ; a sail -b
carries over the shearers and bri
back the wool, The more distant
known to trappers as fine beds of ot
and seal. The sea -lions and sea
phante in the Centennial 'Expositi
New York Aquarium and Cincinn
Zoological Gardens were lassoed off t
outlaying islands of the Santa Barba
group. Boats visit the beaches
abalones, the meat of which is dri
and shipped to -China for food, wia
the ,shells (1.1 divas splendens, Ballo
rufescens and. Raliotis eracherodii), so
at an average price of fifty dollars p
ton at the San Francisco wharf, a,
bought by defilers in marine shells, c
into jewelry to be sold to tourists,
shipped to Europe, to be manufactur
into buttons and other pearl ornaanen
Excepting the .occasional camps
shearers, seal -hunters and abalo
packers, the islands are totally d
'serted.
Yet, wild and desolate as they .no
are, Cabrillo says that in the fifteen
century they were densely peopled by
superior race, and that the main la
was dotted by villages. The ehildr
of the islanders are described by ear
navigators as being "white, with lig
hair and ruddy- cheeks," arid the wom
as having "fine forms, beautiful ey
and a modest demeanor." The me
wore loose cloaks, the -women dress
in petticoats and capes of seal -ski
heavily fringed and handsomely orn
merited. The more industrious an
wealthy enibroiderecl their Barmen
with pearl and small pink sh:ells. Nec
laces of sparkling stones and carve
ivory were worn by the higher caste, an
ear -rings of irishued abalone were n
uncommon. They cooked their food i
soapstone vessels, or in water heated by
dropping hot stones into water -tight
baskets. Bancroft, in his Native
Races," mentions, among articles of
their manufacture, needles, awls and
fish looks ot bone or shell ; water -tight
baskets, ollas of stone, and canoes, dee
and long, with both stein and ster
equally elevated above the wate
Fletcher wrote of the coast whe
lie viaited it with Sir Francis Drake i
1579.
In the year 1542, Cabrillo landed a
what is now known as San Miguel., an
christened it Ysal de Posesion. He die
on the island in 1543, and is buiied i
its sands.
Going back still further in our search
we find that before the Spanish fleet
Sir Fra.neis Drake or Cabrillo eve
visited the coast, the -villages .thereo
were thrifty and populous, and the isle
of the sea swarming cities cf th
period.
_ Of San Nicolas, on which the scene
of this wild romance are laid, very au
has been known until a recent datee. I
is the outermost of the geo.up, distan
seventy miles from the coast, and
thirty miles away from its neares
neighbor. It is thonght to have been
at one time the -abode of a people dif
fering in manners, habits and mode e
life from the inhabitants both of the
main land and the neighboring islands
Mons. De Cessac, a gentleman engaged
, in collecting archfeological specimens
for the French Government, says that
the relics found by him on San Nicolas
are more elaborate in form and finish,
and show a superiority of workmau-
ship. This testimony tends to confirm
the story of the early voyagers concern-
_ ing the cultivation and remarkable
taste of the handsome dwellers in Gha-
las-hat, centuries ago: , Mons. De Ces-
Beck has found also upon San Nicolas
articles of warfare and. domestic use,
evidently belonging to a northern tribe,
similar to those -picked up by him on
the borders of Alaska. Hence, he infers
that the place -was at one time the
dwelling of north country tribes.
Corroborating Mons. De Cessac's
opinion, _search through ancient roa,nu-
[ script has brought to light the fact that,
many years ago, a ship belonging to
Pope and Boardman, of Boston, and
commauded by one Captain Whitmore;
brought down from Sitka a lot of Ko -
dials for the purpose of otter -hunting
on San Nicolas Island. They were left
upon the island, and years of feud re-
sulted in a massacre, in which every
grown male islander was killed by the
powerful and well -armed Kodiaks.
The women were taken by the victors,
lived with them as wifes and bore
children to the murderers of their hus-
bands and fathers. The fact is re-
corded that the inhabitants of San.
Nicolas faded away strangely and
rapidly, so that in 1830,1ess than two
score men, women and children remain-
ed of the once dense population.
Meantime, Franciscan zealots poured
from the south of Europe into America,
and under . lead of Father Junipero
Serra found their way up the coast,
builthng churnhefheesicie the sea, plant-
ing gardens of olive and palrn, making
aqueducts and altars, founding a king-
dom of temporal and spiritual splendor,
which leaves to Protestant America the
_ names of salute set indelibly on every
etrearn, headland and island, along the
• southern slope of the Pacific. It was
the dawn of a temporary civilization
whose ruins are m
cinating.
