Incidents of the Cruise.
Mr. Plank's trip was made on the In
dia. a big whaler earning 40 men fore
'and aft. He sailed from New Leaden.
'Conn.. July SI. IM7. The fishing was In
the Japanese sea. the Sea of Or host k
and H-a of Kamkalka. The vessel put
lout from New London, Conn., and was
away three year* and two months.
On the return trip the second visit
jfo the Sandwich Islands furnished a
unique Incident. Mr. Plank, with oth
ers Of the India’s crew, went ashore for
water, going up a small river to a fresh
water point. Their casks were filled,
and all hand* were awaiting high tide
to fit at down.
Mr. Plank noticed a man dressed a*
a sailor walking along the bank. The
man came up, approached him and
struck him it smart blow on the face.
Mr. Plank arose to punish the assail
ant, when the apparent stranger re
trevt'-d a bit. laughing out “you didn't
know me."
It soon developed that he was Ezra
I Plank, a brother of Mr. Plank. He was
jon the Eugene, also a whaler. Arriving
I in the same waters, Ezra saw the India
land knew It was his brother’s ship. He
secured leave of absence and rowed to
the India. "Your brother is ashore.
Find him and slap his fare," was the
command of the captain, and the young
sailor literally -and. of course, In fun
obeyed the injunction.
• you cannot imagine my feelings at
this strange meeting, in a foreign land.

The Eugene and India left for New
London, for the Eugene was also from
that port. The Eugene sailed Oct. 25;
the India Nov. 25. Hounding the Horn
the India was caught in a dead astern
wind, and for seven days was blown on
her course at 200 miles a day. The Eu
gene did not get the wind and was
t.esten into port nine days by the India,

The Insurance Lowered.
Tim I (here hr merit In the objection*
to Insurance on engine houses and the
class of property represented by the
pump house, ts shown by the reduetton
of the amount carried on the pump
house. The Incoming administration j
found It Insured for 15."00 The policy
having expired, the agent who Insured ‘
If formerly called the attention of the
mayor to the expiration. The mayor
Wild that the fact that the city was
carrying insurance on the property rec
ommended the policy of Its insurance,
hut made endeavor for a lower Insur
ance rate. Ho was Informed by the
ngent that by taking the Insurance for
a longer period than a year the Insur- (
nnce rate would Is* lower—that, for In- j
stafire, the payment of a two years’!
policy would secure Insurance for a pe- j
rlod of three years—or arrangement to I
that effect. The mayor thereupon re- j
quested the making out of policies for
n three year period.
Did Not Approve the Bill.
The policy was so made out, but when
it was brought to the attention of the
chairman of Iho finance committee of
council, he suggested that the amount
formerly carried and to be carried was
too largo and did not approve the Mil.
The mayor, thereupon, requested the
commissioner of public works to Inspect
the pump house and to give his opinion
to the amount of Insurance that
should he carried. His report was at the
j:;,000 figure and the mayor placed the
Insurance at lhat sum. The commit
tee o n accounts ha* approved the bill
made In pnying the policy.
The chairman of the finance commlt
-1 tee was positive In his suggestion that
hhe first amount was too high, and it j
!in probable that he Is of opinion ,
!that any sum at all is rather "mak
ing insurance doubly sure.”
The Enitine House.
I As stated, on the policy of carrying
insurance at all on the pump house or
engine houses, there is difference.
There are those who maintain that
there where firemen are constantly on
dUty night and day, where the property
of the city is surrounded by small hou
ses, fjres therein being the duty of the
firemen to control, there is—or absolute
ly should he—no danger. As to the
pump house, there are those who say
there is no danger of its harm by fire |
—und that Its insurance is an unnec
essary precaution and outlay.
The Insurance on the engine houses ,
With F. Phlnlzy & Go., as shown by
tin* reports, results In a small outlay,
hut even this outlay, some believe, Is
unnecessary.
While one man can be quoted as say- |
Ing. “you couldn’t burn the pump house '
If you tried," another can be quoted—
• *lf there is chance of the engine house
burning, wouldnt’ it be well to Insure
Ibe firemen's clothes for them while
they are In the engine houses?" This
was meant as no hit at the firemen,
for the same quotation continues: "In
suring engine houses In AuguHta is an
unintended reflection on the city fire
men. who have proved themselves in
dividually »rtd 'collectively the best fire
fighters in the country.’’
In so far as jthe guidance of others go.

been penetrated so much by the piles
that it ts not strong enough to support
the enrth above.
Mr. Russell has been conferring with
the railroad authorities here on the
subject.

"We had n rase In Hamburg not long

the coroner Is to look Into now. W*
found the body of an infant In a bask -

the evidence to indicate that the re
mains were those of a white Infant.
This, no doubt, prompts us to rigid In

“I do not know, as yet. nil the forts

I repent this. The authorities of Aiken
county are not going to permit negro
women to rnise white Infants for C*r
llnlans or Georgians. It all Is shork

thus permit the raising of their child

to rear and contenting themselves with
visits to them.”
THE MASONS’ FAIR.
Proceeds to do Towards Paying For
Enlarging fTasonlc Hall.
The masons of this rlty are all Inter
ested In the plan of holding a fair for
the benefit of (he order next fall.
The Masons held a meeting a few
nights ago, and derided to hold the fair.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will go towards paying for the enlarge
ment of the Masonic lecture hall, or, as
some call It, the masonic theatre. The
fair will begin November 30 and last
ten days. It will be held In the present
Masonic hall.
Of course, no fair would be a success
without the aid of the ladles, and so
| they will be asked to co-operate with
the masons and make the fair one of
! the most successful ever held In this
city.
The following committee has been ap
pointed to arrange for the fair:
L. C .llayne.
W. T*. Miller.
William Kt 'nor.
W. F. Ford.
I William Schwetger..
Meetings will be held right along row
to further perfect arrangements for the
entertainment
Tnc Masons realize that the Masonic
ball is -to v ten small to accommodate
the ludi'ncfs lhat gather there when
lyceum. entertainments arc on and when
other lands of attractions are held
there*
Th- hall,will he enlarged »he fair
will solve fit? problem.
