A SCHOLARLY" PIRATE.
William Dampler, the great English sobolas voyager, and buscancor, was bor ca's farm in Somersetshire, England, i the, year, 1859 It has been said that no other traveller can be named who has given the world a more useful stock of informa tion, or to whom the merchant and mariner are more in debt. Indeed, the course of his journeys took him twice around the 'world, "and, ab & time when the Spanlab knights of war wore busying themselves. abous vain triles, seeking for the Fount of Pouth or endeavouring to turn bas metals into gold, Dampler was "doing real, important things. His books of travel word an immediato success, and the knowledge extracted from that was worth doubin the gold and alvor boarded along, Spain's Forbidden Land." But with all there goodly traits of mind, writes John R. Spears in The Chuting Magazine, Danplor was only a pirata prince at heart. He bo gan his caroor of crime at an early age and pursued it religiously to the end. Of the southern coast of Mexico we ând him first, atranded with a crew of idlers. They were forced, we read, to take refuge on a lonely forest isle
Finally hurricane, brought & tidal wave into the forest and floated the whole band with whom Dampier was associated from their camp and destroyed all their provi slous. But having saved their canoes and thais arma, they ware caither distrosted nor Leaving the flooded site of their camp,

Although the people sscaped with their gold and silver, the buccaneers obtained twe very good coasters with an abundance of provisions, and then sailed from the firer in hopes of improving their fortune repidly.
