I>. L. Brannimr. of Waldo, writes as follows:
I have alMiut a half acre of iand, which was,

auil planted rice. It made a beautiful sight
in its green growth, and yielded well. 1 ap
, plied lime and some stable mature, and made
) a good crop of sugar cane tiie second year.
The cold of last winter killed out niv stubble,
so I grubbed it out and planted Irish potatoes
in February, using <■ .ni)s>st on the seed in llie
drill. 1 made 2} barrels, the best I ever
raised. These I shipp’d, realizing only an
average of (1 S3 jter barrel. Before the pota
toes were dug 1 planted melons, t.ifhatoes.
eorn. okra, etc., in'the sides of the ridges, and
the digging of the i>otatoes worked these. I
made a good crop of this “truck" and there
sprang up a thick growth of grass during the
rainy season, which I have saved for hay. It
was a sort of pond gras* and grew as tall as
oals and as thick. My horses eat it better
than a good deal of the Northern hay I have
bought. I then broke up the hay stubble with
a Dixie and harrowed in rye with the Acme,
and now my fowls are supplied with winter
pasturage. In the meantime this year I have
set out 5-year-old orange trees and IV.en-To
and Chinese honey iieaeh trees, which are
growing finely. Here, then, since Feb. 1, I
have Irish potatoes “truck,” hay and rye
successively and successfully, and my land
set with trees, and this once “deep tangled
Wildwood” is the best of my seven acres. I
have lived here nearly 10 years, have 500
orange trees in grove, quite a number blar
ing, and never bought auv fertilizer but lime
till this year.

New Haven, Conn., Nov. 29.—Rela
tives of Carrie J. Welton, the Waterbury
girl who was frozen to death on Pike's
Peak, have determined to contest her will

Iron Men More Confident.
Yonkers, N. Y., Nov. 29.—Alexander
Smith & Sons’ extensive carpet mill here
was shut down to-day and will not resume
for an indefinite time. The mill is one of
the largest in the State and employs be
tween 75,000 and 4,000 hands, with a
monthly pay roll of about $150,000. The
shut down is no surprise to the hands,
and it has been expected since their
wages were cut down 10 per cent, some
weeks ago. Tiie suspension is due to the
depression in the trade, and the fact that
the mills have been running on full time
when other mills were only running on
three-quarters time.
COMPETITION CAUSES A CUT.
Fsaston, Pa., Nov. 29. —Notice was
posted at the Warren foundry at Phillips
burg, N. J., to-day, announcing that on

had to cut wages because others did, and
in order to compete with other manufac
turers.”

Pittsburg, Nov. 29.—The general feel

and Lake Erie, Cleveland and Pittsburg,
Indianapolis and Vincennes, and other
railroads, are in consultation here to-day
on the proposed reduction of the force.
General Manager Baldwin says that there
will be no cut in wages, but that a reduc
tion in the number of employes on all
their lines is necessary, owing to the con
tinued dullness of trade.
AN INCREASE IN THE DEBT.
November the First Montli iu Five Years
Failing to Show a Decrease.
Washington, Nov. 29.—1 t is estimated
at the Treasury Department that there
has been an increase of about $750,000 in
the public debt during the month of No
vember. The payments have been un
usually heavy and the receipts compara
tively light. The principal increase iu
the disbursements was on account of per
sons, which amounted to over $3,000,000.
Tne receipts were about $4,000,000 less
than for the same month of last year,
ln that month there was a decrease
in the debt of $1,700,000. This is the first
time since July, 1879, that the monthly
statement has not shown a steady de
crease in the public debt. In the month
there was an increase of $6,000,000. The
increase at that time was on account of
heavy payments of arrears of pensions.
The present increase gives no particular
concern to the treasury officials in view
of the iact that it is due to natural
causes. Tho treasury surplus to-day is
$141,000,000.
AN OL1) WARRIOR AT REST.
Heart Disease Overcomes Gen. Gershom

New York, Nov. 29.—Gen. Gershom G.

inent Democratic candidate for the Gov
ernorship nomination. Ilis name was
withdrawn at his own request. He
served a term as State Treasurer, and
was tor six years Warden of the New

FEARFUL MISERY IN KENTUCKY
Commercial Traveler Tells a Startling
Story of the I’lague.
Louisville, Nov. 29.— Arthur A.
Loomis, a traveling representative for a
New York firm, was in this city to-day,
having just returned from a trip through
the plague stricken district of Eastern
Kentucky. Loomis said that he was tout
days in Martin county without disposing
of a single article. The people are abso
lutely crazy. They have no use lor any
thing but coffins. In an interview on this
subject he describes in picturesque lan
guage the situation as being a great deal
worse than has been heretofore published.
He describes streams, wells and cisterns
as dried up, sheep and cattle dead upon
parched fields, every human being in en
tire neighborhoods dead, and thousands of
persons perished within a few weeks.
“Starvation,” Mr. Loomis says, “has
been the agent of death.”
HARVEY S. BYRD DEAD.
A Noted Baltimore Doctor and Ex-
Oeorpian Cone to Mia Long Rest.
Baltimore, Nov. 29.—Dr. Harvey L.
Byrd died at his residence in this city this
moraine, at an advanced age. Dr. Byrd

he came to Baltimore and was one of the
originators of the College of Physicians

More Trouble at Laval.
Montreal, Nov. 29.—The Laval Uni
versity students are again in difficulties
with the rector, Rev. Mr. Hamel. It ap
pears that after they had received the
concessions from the rector regarding the
gown, confession and other regulations,
the Reverend Father called each student
before him and intimated that although
he had made these concessions in public
he could not do so in priafe, and conse
quently the rules must _be insisted upon.
The students have refused to accede to
the request, so that the old trouble has
again broken out.
Brand Awaits the Governor’s Action.
Chicago, Nov. 29.—A conference of a
number of Democratic politicians held
here to-day resulted in Rudolph Brand
sending a telegraph to Gen. Palmer, his
attorney in the Brand-Lemnn contested
election case, requesting him to dismiss
the proceedings directed against the State
canvassing board. Mr. Brand desires to
await the decision of Gov. Hamilton be
fore taking any further action, but he does
not intend by tbie to waive his claim to
his seat.
SAVANNAH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1884.
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
A Chapter of Accidents Incident to the
Democratic Jubilee.
Atlanta, Nov. 29.—The registration
nooks for the municipal election which
comes off on Wednesday next closed to
night. About 4,000 registered, .‘SO per
cent, of whom are colored.
At the bar meeting this morning consti
tutional objection to the creation of a
Court of Common Pleas for Atlanta was
raised that 6uch a court would have final
jurisdiction, and that there could be no
appeal from the Common Pleas Court to
the Supreme Court. A committee from
the bar was appointed to confer with the
Judiciary Committee of the House.
Two plans to relieve the overcrowded
dockets of the Superior Court are men
tioned, one to make Fulton Superior Court
a separate cireuit itself, and taking Clay
ton and DeKalb to adjoining circuits, or
to establish a Criminal Court for the trial
of misdemeanors solely, and thus leave
the City Court to try civil cases not ex
clusively triable in the Superior Court.
JUBILEE SORROWS.
A chapter of accidents connected with
last night s jubilee came to the surface
to-day. Some of them were quite serious.
A. C. Ladd, while walking on the side
walk in front of the capitol, was struck

During the pyrotechnic display a sky
rocket was touched off before it was
placed in proper position and went flying
down Marietta street, striking J. T.

to be removed to his boarding house.
A SHOWER OK GLASS.
'While Augusta’s big cannon was belch
ing forth in front of the capitol last night
each discharge was followed by a shower
of glass from windows, and people below
were badly cut by the tailing fragments.
The caunon was ordered spiked into si
lence and the order prevailed, but before
the cannonading ceased a great deal ot
damage was done. Several windows
connected with the Executive office
were smashed. Cue of the
large windows in the Treasurer’s office
and another in the State Library were
broken. It is estimated that the dama
ges aggregate SIOO. which wili have to be
footed by the Slate uuless the city can be
forced to pay tne amount. The city
claims assessment on the paved streets
about the property of the State, and the
State may deduct the damage done last
night from the assessment. The United
States building opposite and many houses
in the vicinity sustained similar damage
from the firing of the cannon.

JACK FROST IN A BALLROOM.
The Inauguration Hop Apt not to bo
banced in the New Pension Building.
Washington, Nov. 29.—“ l soe by what
the newspapers say,” said Gen. M. C.
Meigs, who has charge of the construc
tion of the new pension building to a re
porter to-dav, “that the people are bound
to bold the inauguration ball in the new
pension building. Now it will be impos
sible to get the roof upon the hall in tim.o
for that. Bricks cannot be laid in freez
ing weather, for the mortar would freeze.
The cos tracts call for the completion f
the roof in time for the ball, but I expect
the work will soon be arrested by the
weather. The cilice rooms are ready now
to be roofed aud some of the ironwork for
the root has arrived. But,” continued the
General, “the ball can be held there if
the managers wilt pay the expense of
putting up a temporary roof aud laying a
temporary floor. The hall of the pension
building is 116 by 316 feet. Its walls are
now 78 feet above the floor. A canvas or
tent roof and a temporary floor might be
made to convert this into a ball room for
a temporary purpose. There are 16 rooms
on the lower floor already closed and
floored, which could be used for refresh
ment and cloak looms. I have talked
with the Secretary of tbs Interior,
and he is anxious, if possible, that the
rooms shall lie made ready. I will do all
that can be done, but 1 cannot command
the weather.”

timore Clothing House.
Baltimore, Nov. 29.—Fire this morn

NEIVIIjLE FOUND GUILTY.
The Ohio Bigamy Case Comes to an End
Quicker Than was Expected.
Toledo, 0., Nov. 29.— The Neiville big
amy case came to a sudden end this morn
ing. At the adjournment of court last
evening the opening argument for the
prosecution had been made, and it was
expected that this morning the jury
would be addressed on behalt of the pris
oner, but when the court opened his coun
sel remarked that they did not care to say
anything to the jury, whereupon Judge
lAjramon delivered his charge, and
tbs twelve retired only to return in about
tiiteen minutes with a verdict of guilty.
Neiville took the matter very coolly, and
had nothing to say turther than to thank
his counsel for the able effort they had
made in his behalf. An effort will be
made to secure anew trial. The extent
of the punishment .n such cases is seven
years. Neiville will probably not be
sentenced till near the close of the pres
ent term of court.

MIDDLETOWN’S BROKEN BANK.
The Appointment of a Receiver De
clared Unavoidable.
Middletown, N. Y., Nov. 29.—The run
on the savings bank yesterday drew out
about $20,000. It still continued to-day.
but was much smaller, and will doubtless
end with to-day. The bank is abundantly
able to pay all demands, and published in
the local papers yesterday a statement
that they were ready to pay all depositors,
waiving the thirty days notice. No fears
are entertained about its safety by the
mass of depositors. President King, ol
the broken national bank, is in bed, and
cannot be seen. There are no new de
velopments in the matter.
A RECEIVER A NECESSITY.
Washington, Nov. 29.—The Comp

CONGRESS’ WORK IN DOUBT.
Revenue Reformers to Confer—An Barly
Adjournment Fo.-sible.
Washington, Nov. 29.—There is no
warrant lor t|c statements telegraphed
from here to tie effect that there will be
no tariff legislation this session. There is
as yet no way of ascertaining what the
Democratic majority in the House pro
poses to do this- session, lor less than a
third of all the tnembers of the House are
now in town. Neither Speaker Carlisle
nor Chairman Morrison, of the Ways and
Means Committee, nor Frank Hurd have
yet arrived. They are all expected to
morrow, when a conference of the
revenue reform leaders may be
held, and some plan of action
in regard to the tariff question may be
adopted. Until some such conference has
been held, it is idle to predict what will
be done this session. Of course there
was no foundation for the interview with
Speaker Carlisle telegraphed from here
last night, in which he was made to say
that there would be no tariff legislation
this winter. Speaker Carlisle was in
Kentucky last night. The members are
talking to-night chiefly about the prospect
of an adjournment ol Congress early in
December for the purpose of attend
ing the New Orleans Exposition
in a body. They say that the Senate,
which has very little pressing business,
would like to take such an adjournment,
but that the Appropriations Committee
shows a disposition to keep the House
busy until the regular holiday recess.
Many members will go to New Orleans
whether a special adjournment is had for
that purpose or not. Meanwhile they can
only guess at the course of legislation
during the coming session.
VII tG IN LA’S LEG lb LAT IRE.
The lClectoral Beard Bill Passed Over
the Governor s Veto-
Richmond, Va., Nov. 29.—The General
Assembly to-day passed over the Gover
nors veto the electoral board bill. This
is the second time this year that the Leg
islature has had to do this, tho Court of
Appeals having decided the first bill
passed last winter to be unconstitutional.
The committee which has been investi
gating for some time past charges against
Attorney General Blair of exacting ille
gal fees from the State, submitted its re
port to-day in which, among other things,
they disclose the fact of tho discovery of a
defalcation in the office of the Auditor of
Public Accounts, the books in that office
failing to show proper credits for taxes
paid by the Clerks of the County Courts
on law processes. The amount involved
so far is $1,500, but if these irregularities
show up in the same proportion in all tha
counties, the amount will reach $30,000.
CHIEF CLERK SMITH SUSPENDED.
As soon as the discovery ot irregulari
ties was made known to Auditor Marye
he suspended his Chief Clerk VV. It.
Smith, who had charge of the books in
which the entries of the payments named
should have been made, and who audits
all such accounts. Smith has been
in the auditor’s office over
twenty years. He claims that a full
investigation will establish his innocence
in the matter. The Legislature has ap
pointed a special committee to make a
thorough examination of the Auditor’s
office after the adjournment sine die,
which will take place Monday.
PROSECUTION OR PERSECUTION
Anthony Comstock the Complainant in
a Lively Suit.
New York, Nov. 29.—Charles Conroy
was to-day arraigned in the Police Court
charged with having exposed and sold in
decent photographs and pictures on the
street. Anthony Comstock made the
complaint. He had arrested Conroy. The
latter’s counsel made a vigorous appeal
to the court for his client’s release and
Mr. Comstock argued in opposition. Con
roy’s counsel handed the court a book is
sued by the New York National Defense
Association. The book contained sayings
from Thomas Jefferson, Henry Ward
Beecher and others concerning what was
and what was not immoral. The
pamphlet was compiled in opposition
to Anthony Comstock and his labors. Its
presentation to the court made Comstock
angry and he denounced Prof. Ransom,
the publisher of the book. Conroy took
this tor an attack on himself and sprang
forward and aimed a blow at Comstock,
which an officer averted. Conroy’s coun
sel demanded an examination, which was
set down for next week.

Little Chance that the Belief Exposi
tion will Beach Khartoum Before
February—A Jesuit Priest Goes to El
Mahdl to Ask the Release of Captive
Catholics.
London, Nov. 29.—Private letters have
been received from English officers who
are stationed at Wady Haifa which say
that there is considerable sickness preva
lent among the men forming the Nile ex
pedition. Whale boats have been forced
up the Nile at an incredible cost of time
and labor. The letters also say that Gen.
Wolseiey intends to abandon the river
route and try a land march from Debbah.
The collection of munitions of war and
provisions for the army at Dongola is
so slow that an advance on Khartoum
is considered improbable before February
next. It is reported at Wady Haifa that
Gen. Gordon and his force ire in the most
imminent danger from want of munitions,
and that he has been consequently obliged
to withdraw his advanced lines of mines
in order to act strictly on the defensive.
The Jesuit priest Vincentivi has left
Dongola upon a mission to the Mahdi to
obtain the release of several priestfe and
sisters of charity, who have been de
tained at El Obeid.
Gen. Wolseiey lias applied to the War
Office for more troops and officers. The
Army mul Navy Gazette says that he ur
gently demands 30 subalterns. The au
thorities do not know where to find
them.
LETTERS FROM GORDON EIGHT WEEKS

Dongola, Nov. 29.—A messenger from
Gen. Gordon, who was reported yesterday

the messenger was captured, and was de
tained for some time at Shendy.
15,000 MOKE MEN FOR CHINA.
The Vote of the Dcputleg Stirs the
Government to Warlike Activity,
Paris, Nov. 29.—After the votes in the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday favoring
vigorous prosecution of the Chinese war,
the government issued orders quickening
the dispatch of reinforcements to Admiral
Courbet and Gen. de l’lsle. Le Telegraphe
says: “The Cabinet has obtained certain
knowledge that China intends to continue
the war. It is probable that 15,000 rein
forcements will be sent to China.”
ALL HOPE OF PEACE ABANDONED.
Prime Minister Ferry has abandoned all
hope of a successful issue of the media
tion of England between China and
France.
The Frankfort Gazette states that it is
the opinion of the Chinese Embassy at
Berlin that Earl Granville, in his negoti
ations as mediator between France and
China, is conducting a mere platonic dis
cussion.
Le Telegraphe says that there will be no
further diplomatic neqt;-j,; ons vbth
China, ncr 3uy i'urther military or naval
operations in the far East until the full
force of 15,000 reinforcements shall have
arrived on the field of operations. In the
early spring, Le Telegraphe says, an at
tack is designed upon Canton by both the
French land and naval forces.
A MAN-OF-WAR’S BOILER BURSTS.
Hong Kong, Nov. 29.—Reports have
reached here that the boiler of the French
man-of-war Genouilly, off the coast of
Formosa, has burst, killing 13 persons.
THE EXPLOSION REPORT CONFIRMED.
Hong Kong, Nov. 30, 3a. m.—The re
port that the boiler of the French man-of
war Genouilly had exploded off the coast
of Formosa, where 6be was performing
blockade duty, is confirmed. There were
fourteen persons killed. The injuries to
the vessel are not of a character to pre
vent her performing active service.
BURIED UNDER A TOWER.
A Nobio slan Hurt in a Successful Ef
fort to Save a Train.
Last night after 8 o’clock, as the Chica
go express bound for New York thundered
out through the south end of the tunnel
through “St. Anthony’s Nose” on the
Hudson River Road, savs a Peekskill, N.
Y. special of Nov. 25, the explosion ot tor
pedoes warned the engineer and passen
gers that danger was Imminent. The train
was soon stopped and investigation made.
The violent gale which was then raging
and the splash of thtf river beside which
the tram was standing, first suggested
that the track had been washed away, but
the conductor and trainmen soon discov
ered that the signal tower at Highlands
had been blown down and lay across the
track, and under its ruins lay the body of
a noble man who had faced death to per
form his duty. Efforts were heroically
made to extricate the body, and willing
hands made quick work of it. It was dis
covered that the poor man was still alive.
Removed into the baggage car, all was
done for him possible, and before the
wreck was cleared away he recovered
enough for the train officers to learn some
thing of the occurrence.
It was gathered from his occasional at
tempts at explanation that the gale shook
the signal tower so severely he was sure
it would go over. He went up the road,
set the torpedoes, then returned to the
tower for the purpose of attending to his
signal, and was buried in the ruins when
the gale demolished it. How long before
the train reached the spot, and It was fifty
minutes late, the torpedoes had been set
and the tower blown down was not ascer
tained. He was removed to the station
when the train reached Peekskill and
placed in physicians’ hands, his condition
then being no worse than when he was
found, but still it was very precarious.
His coustant moanings had been about
his grandchildren, and pleadings to know
of the train officers if he had done all
right.

Recommendations Held by tbe Depart

Washington, Nov. 29.—Tbe attempt
made by some of the departmental em
ployes to strengthen themselves in view
of the coming change of administration
by withdrawing their Republican recom
mendations and substituting Democratic
recommendations has been blocked by the
refusal of the appointment clerks to per

cords and cannot be withdrawn.

HER LOVER WAS A CANNIBAL.
Maddened by Jealousy He Bites Oil' the
Knd of Her Nose.
Lillian Farrelly, a pretty blonde, 19
years old, living with her parents at No.
9 Pell street, says the New York World
of Nov. 20, had two lovers with whom she
alternated. The young men were ac
quainted with the situation, and tried to
out-rival each other by making presents
to the girl and taking her to places of
amusement. One night she went with
Frank Sullivan to a theatre or ball and
the next night it would be Robert
Greene’s turn. So matters went on until
a week ago, when both young men came
on the same night and each insisted that
it was his turn to take the girl out.
They went to the. street to fight it out
and Sullivan returned with his eyes
blackened and his face covered with
gore. He said that he had been attacked
by Greene with some blunt instrument
and that then Greene had brutally kicked
him. Lillian pitied him and made him
happy by promising to become his wife,
also declaring that she would never
speak to Greene again. Monday night
Sullivan went with the Sullivan Club,
who had received a banner from Mrs.
Hendricks, wife of the Vice President
elect, to Newark, where they marched in
the procession which was revieved by
Gov. Hendricks. When the club returned
to the city it was near 11 o’clock and Sul
livan proceeded to the house of his prom
ised v\ ife to make his excuses for failing to
take her to a place of amusement,as he had
promised. She was out, however, and on
inquiring her mother told him that she
had gone to the theatre with his rival.
He waited until they made their ap
pearance, when he sprang at his rival and
made a savage assault upon him. Greene
got away and Sullivan turned his atten
tion to his sweetheart. He threw her to
the ground, and bendingover her took her
nose between his teeth and bit off the end.
The young girl uttered a piercing scream
and became unc. inscious. The maddened
lover took the bit of nose out of his
mouth, placed it carefully in his vest
pocket, and leaned over to take another
bite when he was struck from behind and
was made a prisoner by Officer Church
ill. of the Sixth precinct.
The young girl was taken to the Cham
bers Street Hospital, where the piece of
nose, which Sullivan had given up, was
stitched on again.
WORTH, THE MAN MILLINER.
The Manner in Which He Cares for His
Sewing Girls.
Worth has a large establishment in the
Rue de la Paix, says the Paris Messenger,
where 400 you ng women stitch, stitch,
stitch, not at ail in poverty, hunger and
rags. His employees number 1,200 in all,
and during the Commmne, when nobody
ordered dresses or anything else, Worth
provided tor 70 of his workwomen,
though, he, too, suffered for want of de
cent food* Worth is English, born about
00 years ago in Lincolnshire, Brains
were his only capital. That the man is a
genius in his profession is as evident as
the multiplication table. He inherited his \
ability liom his mother, who possessed j
excellent taste.
You must not judge Worth by all the
dresses made by bim, as I used to do. If
a woman insists upon having a fussy,
furbeiowed costume Worth is obliged to
make it, however disgusted he may be.
“My life is anything but a bed of roses,”
he said one day. “What I have to eLdure
from some women is simply' incredible,
when it is remembered that they call
themselves ‘ladies.’ A person sailed in
one day and gave an order, saying: ‘I
don’t like your taste, Mr. Worth; I want
so and so.’ ‘Madame,’ I replied, ‘you can
have what you want, but I’m quite sure
if I had your taste I shouldn’t have any
customers.' She didn’t miad the sar
casm. She didn't understand it. What
do women come to me for if they don’t
like my style? That’s what they pay for.
Why don’t they make their own dresses if
they know so much about it? Another
lady said: ‘You make my cousin’s
dresses and I don’t approve of them, Mr.
Worth.’ ‘Neither do 1, madarae,’ I an
swered. ‘lf your cousin likes colors

EATEN BY HIS SHIPMATES
A DEAD SAILOR SAVES HIS
COMRADES’ LIVES.
A Terrible Storv of Hunger, Thirst, Cold,
Delirium and a Struggle for Life at
Sea in an Open Skiff.
A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
from Lewes, Del., contains the following
additional particulars relative to canni
balism in a skiff at sea, mentioned in
Friday’s Morning News: The three
masted schooner Helen L. Angel, from
Georgetown, S. C., for Baltimore, brought
into port to-day Pilot Marshal Bertrand
and Alfred Swanson, a Norwegian, two
of the three men who on Monday morn
ing left the pilot boat Turley in a skiff
for the purpose of putting Thomas Mar
shall, another pilot, on board the steam
ship Pennsylvania, which was bound for
Philadelphia. They succeeded in per
forming this duty, and started back te
regain the Turley, which was beating to
and fro off the Five Fathom lightship.
The weather was very thick and a heavy
sea was running, aud they never reached
their vessel. It was consequently sup
posed that they had been lost. Several
pilot boats were sent in search of them,
and one cruised 300 miles off the coast
without discovering a trace. Bertrand
told the story of their rescue this after
noon. and the horrible cannibalism to
which the survivors were compelled to
resort.
Soon after leaving the Pennsylvania
they found that in the darkness they had
lost their bearings. They had no compass
on board, and not one of the Delaware
lights was visible. Their frail boat be
came unmanageable, and the wind and
sea rose higher every moment. When
daylight broke they were drifting rapidly
out to sea before the strong northwest
gale, and then abandoned all hope, except
that they might be carried within sight
of some vessel. This was but a forlorn
chance, as Bertrand knew that only by
some lucky accident would tbeir little
craft, which most of the time was in the
hollow of the seas, be sighted from the
deck of any vessel. All they could do
was to keep her as much as possible be
fore the wind. The weather was
bitterly cold, and they bad left the
Turley in such haste that they had failed
to take their thickest clothing or to throw
in any water or provisions. Soon the
spray, driven by the cutting blasts, froze
upon their oilskins, and their stiffened
muscles refused to do their duty. One
man attended the helm, while the others
attempted to keep the boat from swamp
ing by constantly bailing her. All Mon
day, Monday night, and Tuesday they
drifted aimlessly about, suffering the ex
tremes of hunger, thirst, and cold. To
ward dusk on Tuesday evening both the
Norwegians, who were pilot’s appren
tices, became delirious, and before Ber
trand could control them they lost the
oars and ever} thing else that was loose
In the boat. Thus left withoutany means
of handling the skiff, Bertrand can hardly
explain how it escaped from filling or cap
sizing. He says that he occasionally
sank into a stupor, in which the ravings
of his shipmates, the roar ot the wind,
and the lashing of the waves were curi
ously mingled in whatever remained to*
him of consciousness.
He supposes that it was about midnight
of Tuesday when one of the Norwegians,
whose name neither himself nor Swanson
knew, drew his sailor’s knife from its
sheath and made several plunges at him,
declaring that he would kill him and
drink bis blood. The deranged man was
too feeble to carry out his intention. Ex
hausted by his long fast, and clad m his
icy garments as in a coat of mail, he fell
shrieking and gasping across the thwarts
at Bertrand’s feet. In a few minutes he
was dead. The clouds had passed away,
the moon had risen, anil its beams fell
upon the contorted features of the dead
sailor, upon whose face the freezing spray
quickly formed a film of ice. To add
to the' peril of the remaining men, the
boat shipped a great deal of water. The
bailer was among the things that the
crazy men had thrown overboad, and
Birtrand was forced to take off one of his
rubber boots to use in its place. Thus he
freed the ’.-oat from water, but his unpro
tected toot was frozen. Swanson was so
near death as to be incapable of rendering
any assistance, and except when he was
raving he lay like a log.
When the sun rose on Wednesday morn
ing, Bertrand eagerly scanned the horizon
in search of a sail, but he saw nothing.
As his glance fell upon the corpse of the
dead 6ailor, it occurred to him that here
might be the means of prolonging life un
til rescue came. Horrible as the idea of
cannibalism was to him, he realized that
nothing else remained between them and
death. He roused Swanson, and was
happy to discover that his mind had com
paratively cleared, and that he under
stood what was said to him. The cold
had not abated, but the sea had gone
down. The day war. bright, and Bertrand
knew that if they could keep alive until
nightfall they would, in all likelihood, be
picked up, as they could not be
out of the path of the coasting vessels.
Then came the supreme moment. Ber
trand indicated to Swanson what he
proposed to do, and the latter agreed
with him. With the small remnant of
strength left them they tore the stiffened
oil-skins and the underclothing from the
dead, and left a portion of the body ex
posed. Into his breast and shoulders
they plunged tbeir knives and eagerly
sucked the blood from the wounds. They
immediately felt refreshed, and the tor
tures which they had experienced were
allayed. Pausing for a moment in their
w r ork they returned to it, and cut strips
of flesh from the corpse. Each devoured
a little, though Bertrand says it was with
a loathing which only the conviction of
self-preservation could enable him to
conquer. Then they laid back under the
gunwales ot their craft, occasionally rais
ing their heads to scan the waters* for a
sail.
They were scarcely conscious f the
passage of time, but when the sun went
down Bertrand saw passing its disk a
vessel .not more than a mile distant, and
headed almost directly toward them.
The welcome vision reanimated him, and
springing to his feet with some vigor, be
stretched himself to his full height in the
stern sheets, and, drawing off his oilskin
coat, swung it high above his head. Just
at this moment tortune aided him, the
boat mounting high upon the crest of a
long roller, so that it was thrown into
full view of the lookout on the forecastle
el the vessel. For a moment she held her
course, and he feared that in the fading
light they were not seen. A moment
more and he knew better, for she came
around before the wind, which was still
blowing from the westward. Her fore
sail, mainsail, mainmast and spanker
were swung out, wing and wing, aud she
was headed straight toward them. The
rescuing vessel proved to be the Helen L.
Angel, "which, in the storm, had missed
making the capes of the Chesapeake. As
she neared the helpless castaways she
launched a boat, and by C o’clock
Wednesday night they were comfortably
lesting in her cabin and comforted witu
! generous lood and drink.
For CO hours these men had had nothing
but the salt water and the flesh and blood
of their shipmate. The scene of the rescue
was 85 miles southeast of the Five Fathom
lightship, so that in the three days and
two nights which had elapsed since they
put off from the Turley, they had drifted
around in that narrow space. Just before
the Angel bore down upon them they
threw overboard the body of the dead man.
The Angel arrived at the breakwater at
5 o’clock this afternoon, and Bertrand
was put ashore. He is in good condition
with the exception of his frozen feet.
Swanson was sent to the Turley, which is
now lying at the breakwater and is re-
Eorted as doing well. It is said that a
ark passed the lost men’s boat on Tues
day, and that, notwithstanding their hail
ing and signals, she paid no attention to
them.
New buildings have lately been opened on
Ben Nevis, in Inverness county, Scotland, the
highest mountain in Great Britain, in connec
tion with the observatory which wa< opened
a year ago. The expense of the addit onal
accommodations was £2,000. A tourists’
shelter is included in the additions, toge her
with bed-rooms, observing room, and a tower
lor exit during winter and for self-registering
wind in-truments. Hourly observations have
lieen taken from the summit of Ben Nevis
every day and night during the past year, and
ample provisions and stores have been laid in
i for the coming winter.
