"Why, how do you do, Mr. Blood! I'm glad to see you; we once mw each other under diileront circumstances, didn't we? We'll never forgot that terrible typhoon, will "Doctor, I'm glad to see yon; you aro right; we didn't feel as safe once upon a lime as wo do imw. 1 don't want any inure typhoon iu mine, I aj-suro you!" Thou the two clasped hands with cordiality which phrenologists say indicates true friendship.

Tho tirst speaker was Dr. M. Aim-ley Scott, and the othor 11. if. Blood, and the place tho Palace of Pharmacy.

A i iniu, representative, who was present at the tune, which was nno day last week, scorning a good item of netvs iu the air, afterwards asked the doctor to what ho referred when bo mentioned i having met Mr. Blood under other circumstances. "My boy, it's a long story, but if 1 you ill have a little patienco I'll tell i it to you," replied Dr. Scott, who is a delightful raconteur, and cm bring forth from the storehouse of memory tales of travel in foreign lands replete I with interest and information. "To begin with," coinineucod tho doctor, as tho reporter prepared to listen, "I left Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, in l'-J, on tho bark Annie W.

Western, commanded by Captain II. N. Windsor, a kind of a Dr. and Mr. Hyde, on shore bo was the most sanctimonious man you could wish lo sop, but wboti be changed his shore clothes on tho ship he changed Ids nature.

Mi tho ship ho was a man who was a bard taskmaster, and appeared to delight in alt acts of malignancy. A lino-loo king nian bo Win, too. As strnijrlit as an arrow, v.ilh gray siduv. hiskers and born to rule. Mr.

Blood was his lirst mate. The first slop wo made was at New Caledonia, Ibo French convict setll mciil. Wo sailed along smoothly, and wo next slopped at mo Inland of Lit), of tho Marshall group, near tho equator. Uno of tho native out-riggors, tilled with malo and female natives, came out to tho ship, each one attired in the sumo robo wnii-h they woro when they made Ihoir tvtmt Into this world. Wo throw big dugs of tobacco into the water, and tho natives would dive down after them to a depth of perhaps fifteen or twonly feet.

1 hat! a lot of old shirts with me, which presented to the natives, and it was amusing to see tho malos and females put thorn on. Tito shirts wero such curiosities that the natives fought among themselves to gain possession of them. In return for the presents they gavo us a peculiar kind of fruit, delicious taste, and something like a banana. "We sailed along all night until, when about threo hundred miles oil' Bonin Islands, wo encountered a typhoon. Tho typhoon is something you don't caro to havoanything to do with more than once in a lifetime, and oven then you want to let it tio along peaceably if you can avoid it.

The ursi indication wo nail or us approach was on tho day previous, hen the sky assumed a beautiful rosy-pink color at sunset, Tho Chinese cook said to me, 'Sabeo typhoon to-tnodow; heap I retired for the night and lay iu my bunk until along about 3 or 1 o'clock iu tho morning; I then arose and went on dock. Tho wind was blowing ho strong that tho sailors had commenced to take in some of the light sails. 1 again returned to my canin, where 1 remained until be-j tweeu livo and six o'clock, when I once tnoro went on deck. Mr. Blood had called tho captain's attention to tho stale of the weather, and begged him to have more sail taken in.

lie knew from tho premonitory symp-; loins that a typhoon was billed to appear very soon, and a postpono-: incut would not be bad on accouut of tho weather, either. Somehow or other tho Captain did not see in to take much stock in it until after be baii finished hi breakfast ami bad g.iH! on d' ck. Then ho saw for him-, self a i id. tuiiMiUcJ Vuc biu'ouiulei', which was rapidly going down. As soon as Hie Captain reached tho deck he ordered the sails to be taken in as fast as possible.

The men worked for dear life to gel prepared for tho torn-bio vi-iior. 1 went on tho quarter deck, taking my position alongside the aptain, who said, 'doctor, you go below; this is no place for you wo are going to have a typhoon, ami it will soon bo upon 1 refused tu go, as I wanted to seo what sort of an entertainment tho typhoon would give us. Vou soo, like a true theatrical manager, 1 was alwayson tho lookout for special attractions, I refused to gobilow, so tiio Captain said, 'If you insist on remaining you will havo to be lo the mast alougsido of 1 said ail right, and was securely f. tsteru to tho mast by the Captain's side. The Captain ordered two sailors to be lashed to tho wheol, aud said to them, 'If you move that heel wiMiont an onbr from me I'll kill If they had moved the wheel tin ii tho ship would have gone down.

Meanwhile Mr. Blood was woi kiiu; like a beaver taking in sails upon tho main yards, with se en or eight niun to assist him. All at the typhoon struck us. 1 felt as tin. nth I had been struck from behind by invisible hand, if I may nso term.

The air was tilled with foam, so inurli so that if I looked towards tho wind tho water and spray would cut into tho llesh. Tho sea win as htl as a Jbior, having beeu beaten down by the iminense foreo of tho wind. Tho spray looked liko a snow Hinrm for threo or four minutes before the force of the wind. The Captain called lo Blood to conio down aud let tie be, but 1'lood could not bear, the roar of wind was so deafening. was Blood and the nu on the ird-arin, pinned I her as it were by the force of the wind.

Their hat-, caps Br.d clotho were in tatters, having boon blown into that c.mdnkm. Although I was nloiigsitlt' the Captain wo were unable to In ur our ow voices. me lit I sailor canio near going over-boar but I Hood, by superhuman sirongtb, caught him by the shoulder and druw him back into tint font ropes, blooi iuid the men weie kept in their i perilous position for ubiiili live hours, not being altlo to move in all that tune. The Captain estimated that lie wind blew at the rain of 1Mi miles mi hour. The ci ash inn and flapping of the ropes and cordage on the lee side was the most terrific sound I ever beard; it was s'ontething terrible.

We ailed completely around the compass three or fuiir times. Finally by degioes we managed lo edge oil' it. All at oncn the typhoon left us, mid instantly (ho sea, hich hud been held down by Ihe superior force, arose mountain high. Durum the timo we were iu tho typhoon 1 di 1 not realio any danger, hut when the ship commenced to roll, and at each lurch her yaid-arm was dipped into tho angry sea, 1 ft It that 1 is indeed boi under a lucky star, us ihe sail.irs say. 'Captain Windsor, Mr, Blood and the old sailor said that iu all their experience they had never experienced anylbint; at sea like ho typhoon which seemed to be pi'ton up for our especial benefit.

Mlood acted nobly in the time of danger aud showed bis heroism iu a maiked decree. "Now, my boy, do you wonder at 1 wud hen I greeted him? "To after wo had passed through the typhoon the voyago was con: in in it hoi it incident ort mentioning, and wo readied after being out sixty days." I Scott has a piece of the sad in pOUSOHSIOIl souvenir of the The lire in I he 'alumct an 1 ine has almost ton no 1 out. dragged in as a bone of contention. "1 do not like that. And I think that John Boyle, for whom for years I havo bad a kindly feeling (mm- that tho campaign is might havo let me alone." "Do you believo that Duncan Mo-Pherson over offered J.

J. Boyle as a reward to induce you to romam a candidate for the Assembly?" 'I do not boltovo it. There is no wjy that it could be a fact, unless it can bo shown that Mcpherson was tomporarly insane; because in less than iwenty-four hours after I had interviewed tho Democratic County Central Committee of Santa Cruz county, and was by them Billenglished oil' the ticket, an intimate friend of MePhor-son asked me if I proposed to obey tiio Committee, to which 1 replied that 1 would stay just where the Convention placod me. 1 havo much, if not ovory reason, to believe that'Mcl'her-aon was made aware of my intentions immediately by his friend. Iu a day or two thereafter I slated tho same intention to a Skntinkl mtorvlewer, and it was published, so that, as I say, thero was no need, unless through an insano desire, for Mr.

McPherson to throw away on J. J. Boyle or any person for nothing. And it seems to mo that Mr. McPhorson, whatever other objections there may be to him, can not bo accused of that sort of insanity.

"Well, how about Boyle 'striking' you for coin? Did ho do that?" "I do not think I would call it but ho gave me by word of mouth, and, also, by letter, to understand that ho wanted money." "Did you give Iiim any money?" "Yes, in small sums not a large amount," "What did bo want with it in small sums." "Woll, as near as I can see, he was, longaftor my nomination for the As sembly, very thronged with business at vv atsonvillo, and ho would come lo mo for small sums to got out of town on or, at least, that is what understood him to say," "Then did he evor offer to pay you back after ho wont ovor to Hall?" "No, never; I hardly expected him to do so." When did you first loarn he had gone over to Hall?" "Well, it must havo boon along about tho Utiih of October that he came to my room, at the Lewis House in Watsonville, and talked very enthusiastically about my running independent, and I told him I would lot him know about that in a day or two. Then he went out for au hour or ho aud came back to my room and tried to induce me to withdraw iu Hall's favor." "To which you replied "I said, 'I will not do "What did he do then?" "lie wentout of my room, aud that is the last 1 heard of bis influence in my behalf. Butl heard of his 'whooping it up' for Ja'iuos Augustus." "But about that letter he wrote to you; what was the substanco of that?" "Oh, I don't know, but Fvo got it in my pocket now," and running his hand into tho broast-poekot of his coat the Doctor produced tho following tetter, which is copied verbatim et literal mi: "Soiii iiL, Oct. isss. Friend daily: The mooting to be held here of the county nominees will be held on Friday, the 2'ith.

On that night I want you to be hero and then I will go around with you. Please send me up by xpress Hib amount I spoke to you about, and 1 will use it to good advantage.

"1 think you might ask me some thing easier to answer, unless I should quote: 'a bird in the hand is worth two in tho "What did ho need of that money in your cause?" "Hogavo me lo understand that he had much iuilueuce with local voters, and I thought he wanted the money to warm up enthusiasm with." "Was thoro any arrangement, as ho sayH, hat you and he should go to Highland and Loma Prieta together?" "My recollection is that he wanted to 'go around' with mo at my oxpense; but 1 do not romeniher of any place being named away from Soquel. I certainly had no use for him at Loma Prieta. because, if I ha I not quarreled with tho Democratic County Committee 1 could have had influences heavier than his iu my behalf at that point." "Is thero any truth in his insinuated assertion that Duncan McPherson employed a man to travel with ycu fur convivial purposes?" "No, sir mnio whatover that is a falsehood, full, entire and complete; but I think not invented by Mr. lioyle. Thero was only one person who tiavoled with me, and he iiad been in my employ, oil' and on, long before 1 ever thought of being a candidate, and I paid him cash for his services out of my own pocket." "Did Duncan McPherson do your printing for you gratis?" "No, sii; I got no printing done 'luring my brief candidacy, except announcement cards in threo newspapers, some poster cards and the election tickets.
