AVERS . .~0 \C AND PIRATES. - Grand: Old Man of the- British .+ \*Navy Whose. Exploits Read - ~\ Hike a Romance of . Marryat's. wus _ _\'Th6é other day Admiral the Hon. Sir - Henry Keppel surprised England by siiddenly announcing that London life was-'altogether too slow, and that he was going out to Borneo again to shoot somemore elephants. He packed his steamer trunks and went there a few weeks ago. . e Admiral Keppel is rather over 95 years of ago, but he still feels equal to shooting elephants ih Borneo, sail- Ing his own yacht, or doing anything elso; for ho is the last of England's tough old sea-dogs, and he dates back to the times of the \wooden walls.\ __. There have been Keppels in the Brit Ash navy from the dgys .of Elizabeth. 'Every generation of the family pro- | duces a' distinguished captain or ad- miral. It is a proverb in India that if there was only one loaf in the whole of that vast empire, A& Rivett-Carnuc would get half of it Stmilarly, If there' was only one ship in the British navy, the odds are that a Keppel would command her. 'The greatest Keppel of them all was the famous sailor whose services to his country were rewarded by the title of Earl of Albemarle. He . ranks in history along with Lord Howe and Rodney. The present Admiral Keppel, doyen of the British navy, is his great-grandson. Hero of the High Seas. Throughout his long life this tough old seadog has had as many adven- tures as ever fell to the lot of a hero of Marryat's novels, He has boarded gslayers, sunk pirates in three differert oceans, fought with Russians, Malays, 'Ohinese, Japanese and many other peo- niles, weathered typhoons and hurri- canes and squalls, and shot an incred- ible number of elephants, tigers, bears, Hons and other big game. At an age when most American boys ~mre beginning to emerge from kinder- garten he was sent to the Royal Naval . College at Greenwich to be trained for amiddy. In those days England took her food for powder young. It was not at all uncommon for boys of 11 and 12 to serve aboard ships as middiles ani \powder monkeys.\ Keppel went afloat before he was 12. But be- fore then he had an experience which any English boy would covet. He was allowed to sit in Nelson's chair, which 4s still presorved at Greenwich Hospi- | tal. It is very easy to imagine what dreams of glory he must have had as he sat there and remembered that his own people had done deeds on the high seas almost as great as those of the <peerless Nelson himself. Chasing a Slaver, ,, One of young Keppel's first adven- tures was taking part in the chase of & slaver, The frigate on which he was +Rppointed a middy was sent out to tho 'Wost Indies. (Off the coast of Sants Domingo she sighted a low, blaci, rakish-looking schooner, which hoisted Portuguese colors and tried to ed.;e away. The captain's suspiclons were aroused and he chased her. Before he could overhaul the craft, one of the sudden calms pecullar to troplicid waters tool the wind from his sills. He ordered out the boats, und litte Keppel went in one of them. armed with a cutlass almost as big as him- self. When they reached the Portu- guese ship her character was plain. 'They were received with a broadstde of \langrange\--which menns thut the guns were shoited with rusty nails, bits of scrap {ron and anything that came handy. Several of the tars were killed and wounded, but the rest pulled on with redoubled energy and . boarded the slaver. a crowd of villainous cutthroats, the offscourings of the seas- Dortuguese, negroes, Greeks and halfbreceds of n dozen different nationalities. HuyiQh Valor, For a few minutes there was a des- perate fight. Keppel shot his first man -a negro who was about to cut dewn a brother middy The slayer had no chance against the discipline and cour age of the British tars, and those who were not killed were soon in irons. When Keppel's ship reached port they were hanged, Soon after this adventure the bov had an experience which ranked in his mind hardly second to that of sit- ting In Nelson's chair. Whilo his ship was lying ot a South American port, the flagsbip of the Brazillian navy galled In with the famous Lord Coch- ¥ané on board. He was high admiral bt Brazil at that timo, and was un- T [getficnnbly the most famous satior lying. Ho boarded Keppel's ship . to pay his respects to the captain, and when he heard thero was a rniddy pamed Keppel on board He immediate- Jy asked to seo him, for ho had served th his father and grandfather In the when bo was tho most dashing gate captain England possessed.

If they escaped the bullet and the cutlass, they were certain to be «claimed by the yardarm soon after they fell into his power,> Kis drastic methods were: very effective. He cleared the Malay seas of pirates, with the help of Rajah Brooke, and made them safe for the shipping of the york]. which they had never been be- I fore. After he had finished this work he was made admiral in command of the China squadron. His particular quali- fication for the post was his ability to deal with pirates. < He cleared the China seas of them, as he had cleared the Malay seas. His favorite trick was to disguise his ships as peaceful mer- chantmen, walt for the pirate junks 'to creep upon them and then unmask his guns and sink them. ° His name became a-terror to the } Chinese. This was the time when China was being opened up to the world's trade, and < \foreign devils\ é were even more detested than they are today. Outrages upon Englishmen liv. ling'in China were frequent, and Kep- pel always punished the gullty parties with a heavy hand. He thought noth- ing of sending a force inland from his iships to burn a village where an Eng- lishman had been murdered, and he did not always walt to get permission 'from .the authorities at home or the British Ambassador at Pekin. l Japanese Incident. | During this perlod of his career Kep- 'pel was identified with the move- imems that led to the growth of the new Japan. He was intrusted with 'the protection of foreigners' lives dur- ing the stormy times of the Satsuma rebellion. The samural, or two- sworded men, had a bitter antipathy to foreigners at that time, and often murgered them. It was once Keppel's painful duty to jnsist on the punish ment of a Samurat who had killed an English sailor in a brawl. tity of the murderer could not be dis- covered. Jt was only known that he was one of the retainers of a certain daimio, or feudal lord. Keppel feared that it would be impossible to get Juvs- tice done under these circumstances. \You need not be afraid,\ said the Japanese official of whom he asked re- dress,. \The guilty man shall die,\ \But how can you execute him when you don't know who he is?\ asked Keppel. \That is no obstacle, will call upon the guilty samurai confess, and the man will then commit hari-kari.\ \But surely the guilty man will not speak!\ exclaimde Keppel. \Of course he will. It is a point of | honor.\ Sure enough he did, and it was sub- sequently Keppel's painful duty to at- 'tend the execution and see that the man really disemboweled himself, A Mighty Nimrod. Admiral Keppel left the navy in the i'708s. Since then he has distinguisned himself as a great hunter of big game rand as the founder of the dependency of British North Borneo. What Cecil Rhodes was at South Africa, Keppel has been to that country. ! His eldest son now commands a 'British battleship.

My father used to describe a widow of the latter sort, ''She lived in Maryland; she kept a little village store. Her husband was a worthless fellow. Ho never worked and he drank a great deal. A worthless fellow. I repeat, but nevertheless, when he died suddenly, many persons made calls of sympathy and condo- lence on the widow. 'My father did not call, but one day, stop- gins mt the store to buy some trifle or other, e thought it was no more than right to say in a feeling tone: \'You must miss your husband a great deal, madam! , \'Well rir' said the widow, 'It does seem strange to come into the shop and find something in the till.' \ A Fair Offset.
