Esssssi - HW A BEAL ROBINSON CRUSOE. gtlAULES CARLSEN, tbe Robinson Cruisoe of Clip perton Inland, came back a few week ago to San Francisco and civilisation on tbe Bteauier Peru. Fur fourteen luautbu be lived all alune on tbe barren rock, bi only companion luring that Line being a dog, beide a dozen cbickena, tbe myriads of sea fowl and tbo big crabs that make tbeir habitation on the flat island. Except for a rather tierce mustache and a cowboy but Carlson looked like anything but an exile as be stood on the Perus leek. Carlson took tbe position of lone watchman on Clipperton Island from (he Pacilic Islands Company , which aas a concession for the rock aud its guano deposits. On February 4 tbe schooner Una called at Clipperton, and Carlsen, accompanied by bis dog, embarked for Cbainperico, where be caught the Peru aud came directly to Ban Francisco. I knew what to expect when I went to Clipperton, said Carlsen. The men who had been there as keepers be fore me had always had companions. 1 was the first to volunteer to stay there alone. Time passed slowly, hut I busied myself in working here and there, and I read and wrote a great deaL My dog was companionable, and I grew so attached to my chickens that Dot one of them served me for a meal. I saw only one vessel in the fourteen months, and that was the British war-shi- p Shearwater. She passed close , to the Island aud a boat was lowered. X hailed from the reef, but tbe boat did not come in. Wheu the Una picked me op I was getting tired of the job. Three men are now on the island to keep each other company. My health was Improved by the experience. "At first I busied myself making repairs to the buildings and Implements that were under my charge, and in my brief hours of leisure made friends .with my dog and chickens. The crow of the roosters aud the bark of the dog Were the only sounds that broke the tilluesj of the long month, except for the strange sound of a aborning of men one day last December, when n boat's crew from the British cruiser close to the shore while their Vessel was at anchor near by. "The island Is about 700 miles off the Central American shore, and the coasting steamers never pass within sight of It All over the Island, which la only about ten feet above the surface of the sea, thousands of crabs aro always crawling, but they are harmless. The aea birds were so tame that I could pick them up from their neats, and I was careful to maintain a close friend ship with them. The birds eggs, with the canned provisions that had been left for me, together with the sea air, made me a healthier man than ever before, though I was a robust sailor before I went there. "Would I return to solitude of the Island again? Yea, I would not mind going back. One gets used to the solitude and comes to look upon hia animal friends as though they were almost human. Occasionally I would yearn for the presence of a human companion, but that feeling would soon pass away. Slime I have returned feel out of plne in tho noise and bustle of civilisation. "Why some men select the existence of a hermit I can r.ow understand. There is certainly a fascination almut a hermit life. There la a calm and nn absence of worry tlint makes one dislike taking up the cares of life among bis fellow-meagain. As to the animals with which I was snrrnunded, came to understand them, and they appeared to understand me so well that we were like companions. They nl moat seemed to know what I was say log when I would talk to them, and I learned that each had a language of its own by which he made himself known to his fellows.
