New Orleans Times-Democr- CAPTURED BY MALAYS. I saw in a Singapore paper the other day the statement that no less than five trading vessels hailing from that port were long overdue from the Java sea, and that DEPARTMENT there were grave raisons to fear they had fallen into the hnnds of the Malays. Such a statement has an odd sound to the reader who is not well posted in the locality and its surroundings. Tho Java sea, which Skirts, of latest designs popular prices separates Borneo from Java, contains over a thousand islands, great and small. Macassar straits, to the east of Borneo, contains almost as many more. From Batavia. lor king north, the Chinese sea Is studded with islands for two thousand miles. It is an old saying among sailors: When Nature created Borneo she meant Iliac every man who ever lived on the island should be a pirate. -h- aving-proved Our-Silk-Sale s of the coast people have That for the lost 1900 years been engaged in this --business, no one doubts. The Malays hold tbe sea front, while the Dyaks and other tribes holds the interior. While piracy by 'Same-for-another-we- ek. organized fleets no longer exists, every Malay craft stands ready to do business on Its own hook. I was captured by a single craft, and a small one at that, and will now give you the particulars. The English firm of Warner & Hill, at Batavia, employed three or four small schooners ta cruise among the islCurtains and Portieres, from cheapest to finest, prices trading ands after fine woods, furs, shells, hides, roots, dyestuir, etc. I was left lu Batavia to please you- - Boys and Childrens Clothing, Overcoats, off an English steamer, my father having died on the voyage, and the firm spoken of closest at Waists, Hats and Caps, and Gents Underwear, gave me a hirtli on the Orient, oue of their schooners.

The captain stood his watch turn and about, and the cook was on rail as a We are offering a splendid line of Plush, Silk and Knit turn sailor. This gave us three bauds to a watch, which made handling the craft an Hoods, in latest shapes, at prices, ranging from 75c to $3.50. easy matter. We took out axes, hatches, powder, lend, hoes, seeds, shoes and various trinkets, and more or less money, and Ladies Saxony Wool House Jackets, with or without as an armament we had seven or eight good muskets. This was my third trip, and wo left Batavia for au island called Anello. sleeves, from $1.00 to $ 2.75 each. This is situated about forty miles south of the southeast point of Borneo, and at that was sn island containing about 1,300 A splendid line of Black Chantilly and Guipure Over- time people. We reached it after a pleasant run, for the next week were anchored in a dress Laces, Tinsel and Embroidered evening materials, fcc. and bay on the north side. In this time wo had secured about half a cargo, and at tho end in newest shades, less than New York Prices. of the week were ready to up anchor and sail for another island to the south. The king of Anello wanted to prove his frlondshlp for us, and therefore made a banquet to which all were invited. No doubt all would have gone, but that afternoon I accidentally cut my foot, and it A-Xj- X. O pained me so much that I liegged to remain aboard as shipkeeper. All others went ashore at sundown. We lay within 200 hft of the beach, and the village was right there, Several large fires were built, and I could see and hear almost everything. It was a warm, balmy night, and after a while I lay down on deck, and despite the Wb noise on shore went to sleep. When I opened my eyes again some one was tying my wrists, having already neatly performed that job on my ankles. As I tried to sit up I received a smart tap on the head from a club, and a voice which I knew belonged to a Malay warned me to lie quiet. I bail picked up enough of the lingo to understand what he meant, and na I caught sight of five or six other figures on deck, and also realized that the schooner was in motion, I lay back and kept quiet. The craft was In the hnnds of the Malays. They had sneaked into the liarbop under cover of darkness, cut her lipmko cable, and she hnd drifted out wiLh the tide. She must have lieen a mile off shore when I awoke, for they now proceeded to get her bend around and give her all sail. In about an hour the lender of the gang approached me and cast ofT iny lionds, and motioned meintothefo'cnstle. I was glad enough to go, for I was in a terrible fright, I had seen Malays stout Batavia often enough, hut had been told that tlie real residents of Borneo were a cruel aud savage lot, and thnt an Englishman unfortunate enough to fall Into t lieir hands could hope for nq is receivifig additional novelties in Ladies and Children's Dresses, Wrappers, Surah and Cloaks, Ladies ready-ma-de at isr four-fifth- such a success- - we continue -- at at OUB PEICB-T- are never Undersold.

She was kept going all night, and so flustered was I that my eyes did not shut for a minute. About 8 o'clock in the morning we ran Into a harbor on the south side of the Island of Laut, which is on the southeast coast of Borneo, and separated from the mainland by a narrow channel. As the anchor went down I was Ordered on deck. We were In a land locked harbor, and not over 100 feet off the beach. Right opposite was a large village, and severat'Tiuntfred people had rushed down to the shore to yell and cheer. A dozen sampans were soon alongside, and into one of these I was placed and taken ashore. A white man waa no great curiosity to the natives, even at that day, and I was scarcely noticed as 1 was conducted through the crowd to a hnt In the center of the village. There was only a mat hanging at the door, but they well knew that no guard waa needed to keep me there. It was noon before they gave me anything to eat or drink, and then I was told that I might walk about the village If I desired. I didnt care to take advantage of this offer, but sat in the door of my hut and saw them haul tbe schooner ashore and land her cargo. There were over two hundred men engaged about her. While some broke oat the cargo others went stripping her of sails and cordage. Before dark there was nothing left but a bare hull and two mas. The bowsprit and topgallant masts were sent ashore, and everything was taken out except the ballast. I don't think they left a foot of rope or chain, and every hoard or beam they could get at waa taken away. The last thing was cutting away the masts. Soon after they went overboard tbe hull floated off the sand, and they then towed her out of the bay and scuttled her. As fast as the cargo was landed it was taken to twwhwge storehouses in the center of the village, and had our captain arrived at sundown in pursuit of bis craft he would have found nothing whatever on the beach to tell him what had occurred. About dark a woman brought ms food and drink, and seeing that I was in pain with foot, she ImmsU vstar ms9 washedsitIt and then bound It up with acme bruised leaves of a soothing nature. She quite won my heart by her kindness, and I was led to hope that my lot might not be so wretched after alL As far as I could see no guard was placed at the door, nor was any one appointed to watch me. There were as many as fifty sampans on the beach In plain view, and one nlghta paddling to the south would have brought me to an Island. They reasoned correctly, however. I did not have the nerve to risk It. A hoy at sea In a canoe without food, water or compass would be as badly off sa among the Malays on shore. Next morning after breakfast the head man Bent for me. He was a chap of great dignity and evil look, but the capture of the schooner had put him in good humor. He asked me where she belonged, how long she had been out, and many other questions, by which he sought to ascertain what sort of sn Investigation might follow, He examined my foot, which was now limpet we!, and then called in an attendant, who conducted me to tbe store houses. The hoes, axes aud hatchets were without handles, and I waa now given to understand that I must go to work and fit them up. I wasnt much of a mechanic, but was pleased enough with the joU. I overhauled the carpenters chest for tools, and theq Started into (be forest to search for timber. A dozen or more half grown boys followed and while some of them were inclined to play me tricks to get np a laugh they offered me no violence. Indeed, at the end of half an hour we were all on a friendly footing. I found a tree which is called back ya in Borneo, but which has the grain and fiber of English elm. There was one ax with a handle, we having used it pn shipboard. This I had brought along, and I now proceeded to fell the tree, which was about a foot (hick fuid very straight and talL The boys were astonished beyond measure at my way of handling the ax. The Bornese use a hatchet, and strike while squatted on the ground. It would have taken a man two hours to accomplish what I did in fifteen minutes. I found the wood easy to rive, and that day began a task which occupied ms for the next throe months. During this time I was fairly well ufted, though given none too much to eat. The man who had first planned my work for me continued to be my boss, and once a day, at least, came aronnd to see me. As none of the Bornese would nse a crooked handle in an ax, I had to innke then) all straight. The village was very compact, the bouses almost touching each other, while about twenty acres of land to the north of it was under cultivation. It was the village garden, and one day after I had finished my Job and was working in this garden the woman who had exhibited such kindness on my first arrival came out to me and told me that I had been sold to the rules of another island to the east of us. An hour before her coming I had seeu a large native craft put In, and could not doubt that she belonged to my new pwDPP. Thf woman's object in warning me was that I might take to the woods, but I hesitated ni A. HARRIS, - 1 to go. I knew the forests to abound with venomous reptiles and savage wild beasts, and I would be defenseless. And, too, I had beard that the Dyaks and other interior tribes were as bad or worse than the Malays, and to cut and ran would mean walking into their hands. It was in tbs afternoon when the woman came out. I continued work until almost sundown, and then decided to hide out and see if I could not steal a sampan daring the night and be off. Our ruler was giving a feast to the other, and revelry ran high. It was owing to this fact I mode tha move I did, hoping I would not be missed. It had come 10 oclock at night, and I was about to quit my hiding place and go to the beach when there came a sudden, an awful explosion. I was on my feet, and was thrown down, and daring the next minute the air seemed to he choked with flaming brands, while many boards and sticks fell around me. When I stood up and looked down into the village I saw only a great heap of debris, and that was on fire. I at once hastened to the spot. A few people were rushing around in a crazy way, and others ware lying on the ground and shouting over the pain of their injuries. I could not see one single hut standing. I soon figured out what had happened. The liquors and the powder were kept in the same store house. Some one had been sent for more drink, and his carelessness had caused an explosion. No ons paid the slightest attention to me, and after a few minutes I ran down to the beach. There were plenty of sampans there, and I selected one and hastily shoved off. The big craft was at anchor below me, and when I had passed her It occurred to me that all her crew were on shore, and that I eouhl board her and secure provis- Proprietor.

I put about and ran alongside. She was taking care of herself, and aa I felt her tugging at her anchor, and realized that tbe tide was going out, the thought came to me to take her. I didnt wait to reason about it, but ran forward and began sawing away at the hempen eable with the old pocket knife which I had brou; i with me to the island and carefully guarded ever since. It soon parted, and as the vessel drifted oat of the bay I worked her around with hey head off shore. She was what la called a kampoug, fitted for both rowing and sailing, and, boy that I was, I gave her enough of the big mainsail to send her off shore at the rate of four or five miles an hour. When daylight came I could not aee the island from tha deck, but before sunrise I was alongside of a Java trader coming up from the south, and among friends. It was three months before I got back to Batavia, and It was only then that the firm knew how the schooner was lost. Captain and crew had believed that she lipped her moorings and drifted out to sea to be lost.
