Thrilling Extracts From Dreyfus' Diary.

Ihe Strand prints some remarkable extracts 'mm Oaptsin Dreyfua 1 " My Life on Devil's Island " Yesterday evening, he wril-.es m bis diary onSeptembor 7, 1896, I was pat In ir^na. Why, I know note. Since I have been h*»ro I have always strictly fol owed the line traced out for me, and observed the orders scrupulously. How is it I did not go crazy daring the long, fearfal night 1 September B—These nights m irons ; ! I do.&ot eves Bpeak of the physical suffering, but what moral ignominy, and without any explanation, without knowing why, or for what cause ! In what an atrocious nightmare have I been living for nearly'"two ypars I In any ea-8, my duty ia to go to the limit ©f my strength. I shall do it simply. In the autumn of 1896, he writes towards the close of the diary, the regime, already bo severe, to which I was subjected heoame more rigorous still, Thfl 4h of September 1896 th« prison officials received from M Lebon, Minister of Colonies, the order to keep top, unti'J further notice, shut ap m my hot for twenty-four hours, with the doubie boacie at nighf;, to inclose the space ieft for my w>tlk close around the hut with a solid palisade, and to have another gutrd iv my hut m addition to the one already there. Besides this, they withheld the let ters and packages sent to me ; and the transmission of toy correspondence was henceforth ordered to be m*de only by copies of the originals. Conformably with these instructions, I was shut up night and day, without a minutes' walking exercise. This absolute <Oafiremenfe was con tinned daring the whole time needed tx the bring'ng of the woo 3 and the construe ion of the palisade, that is to say, nearly two months and a half. The heat that year was particularly torrid. It was so great m the hut that the guards made complaint after complaint, declaring that they felt as if their heads were bursting. It became ijfcpf ■*ry on their account to have their quarters In the shed attached to my hOQIQ sprinkled every day with water. Dating from the 6th of September, I was pot m the double boncle ab night] This torment, which lasted nearly two months, consisted m the following measures,—Two irons m the form of a 'U' were fixed by their lower parts to the sides of the bed. In these irons an iron bar was inserted, and to this waa fastened two boacles. At the extremity of the bar, on oae side, there was a ring and at the other a padlock, so that; the bar was fastened into the irons and consequently to the bed. Therefore, when the feet were inserted m the two rings, it was no longer pos sible for me to nuove about • I was fastened m an unchangeable position to my bed. The torture was hardly bearable during those tropical nights, t oob also the rings, which were very tight, lacerated my ankles. The hut was surrounded by a palis ade over 8 feet high, and distant about (not quite) 5 feet from it. This palis ade was much higher than the little grated windows of the hut, which were hardly S| feet above the gronnd, bo that I had no longer either air or light. OutaiJe the first palisade, whijh was one of defence, and therefore com pletely cloae3, was a becond onp, built quite as close and quite as high, and which, lik« the first, hid everything from my sight. But, during one of these long Lights »if torture, when riveted to my bed, with sleep far from eyes, I sought my guid ing star, my guide m moments of su preme resolve. I saw all at once the light before me dictating to me my duty —'Today less than ever 1a 'c you the right to desfrt your post, less than over have you the right to srtnrten, even hv a single h( ur your sad at d wre'ehed life Whatever the torments they inflict npr>n you,you must march forward unti'< th«'y bring you to t! c grave; you must stand np before your execu'loners so long as you have » nhftdow of strength, a living wreck to be kept before their eyes by the unassailable sovereignity of the coal which they cannot reach.' Therefore, I have formed the resolution of straggling with more energy than ever. Insects hatched out everywhere m mv hat, mosquitoes m the rainy season, ant« m all sensoTis, and these m such considerable numbers that I had to pro-' tect my table hy placing the legs m old tin c»ns filled with petroleum. Water was not enough, for the ants formed a chain across its surface and, when the chain was complete, the other ants paeseJ over it as on a bridge. The most harmful of these creppiiag crt atares was the spider crab, whose bite is poisonous. The spider crab is an ani nul whose body has the lot of a or»b, while the legs have the relative length o* those of it spider. The eiz^s ia about that of a man's hand. I killed *ny number m mj hut, into which they eime through the holts m roof and Walls. Such was the condition, says the Strand, of the wretched prisoner m September 1898 But his Buffering.l- were far from being at »n end. It was not until Jaly 1897 that the first rays of hope b''gan to dawn upon the lowly exile, and not until June 1899 that from the deck of the Sfax he locked for the last time on.Devil's Island.
