10 MR. MOODY’S STORY. BOW HE WAS SNATCHED I KON THE JAWS OF MEATH. The return of Mr. I>. L. Moisly to hl* home mid schools ut Northfield, after one of his long cvungclistic campaigns, is always an event of interest ia North field. His latest return was tin ovation tor he < nine ns one snatched from t in jaws of death, after mi absence of four teen months in Europe and the Orient. Mr. .Moody, nccompiinicd by his eldest, non. with Major General 11, O. Howard i and oilier friends, sailed from England I Nov. 22 on the steamer Spree, with seven I hundred piissoiigers. When three days out. thh Spree broke her ah.'ift, tearing a I bile in the vessel’s side, which rapidly tilled with water nod began to sink. She , seemed to be kept, afloat by ».apeem! i Providence, aa she drifted h.-IJ)IRS3IJ' a thousand miles from lutid, When the stenmor Huron, guided by her signals of distress Ihul Hamed nil through the nights, found the helpless vessel and lowed her into the jsirt of Qneensl evu. From thence, by the Cunnrdcr Etruria. • ir. Moody and his company sailed Hee. i I, landed In New York on fedurd.iy, ■ Dec. 111. and sfrnigtwny cninfftb North-! field. New :of his coming bad proceed d him. nod when his train readied Mt. Hermon station near 111 o'clock nt night, about three hundred young men, students .•'lid teachers of the Moody school there, (.warm'd around and through tlio train with torches, music and cheers to wel come their friend At the next station, | n.s ho stepped from the train with his wife and son, he dropped into the heart of another company of friends, neigh bors and stiidients, who had come in conveyances from various places to speak their welcome. From thence, on the wny homo in his carriage, ho could see, be yond the <’onnectieut river all the semi nary buildings and many private dwell ings blazing with n gl id illumination - innumernble “lights in the windows' for the home-coming friend. By the roadside stood under the light of n lilted torch the ladies of the North field training school, cheering, singing rind waving white handkerchiefs ns the Moody carriages passed. Near his own home Mr. Moody found the street block aded by a solid plinliiux of throe or four , hundred young Indies of the seminary, I with teachers mid friends, who kept the ■whole procession nt but, until they had given ii joyful welcome with beautiful song. Though near the midnight hour, I noticed that instead of driving to his own door. Mr. Moody’s carriage passed up .•mother street to the home of his blessed mother, now marly ninety years old. She must not waif 11 moment, longer to seo th" fine of her boy! (In Sunday morning, following the night of his arrival at Northfield, Mr. Moody told the story of the disaster and rescue of the Spree, the church being crowded in anticipation of his coming. He said he would do on this .occasion what, he bud never done before -make his own ex periences mid observations t subject of discourse. Ho thought it migUt servo a better purpose than a si rinon just then, and it would save him from being called upon to tell the story to each neighbor and friend individually. The story was told with suppressed emotion and with a glow of devout gratitude to God, making impression never to he forgotten. “My lust day in London,' 1 said he, “was a pleasant one. u day of promise it might have been called, for the sun shone out brightly ill’ll r week: of those dark, foggy days so common io London. A votnpuiiy of friends gntli' i -I nt the station to seo me off, and Isu sted that they sing my favorite song, "Then . I.all my heart keep singing," but they sai.l they did not feel like' singing that just then! I was the only one in the little group who seemed to feel like singing. I .oiddn'i sing with my voice, but deep down in my heart 1 sang, for I was going home, home to meet my loved ones. “You hind people have not perhaps u.

I considered myself a very fortunate man, for iu all my extensive trawls by laud and sea I had never been in any accidents of n serious nature. 1 thought, of how my wife and children had escaped tbe,oliol erti, and the quarantine at New York. The steamer that .-ailed before theirs, and the one that followed after, both had cholera aboard and wore detained in quarantine, while the one that bore my loved ones, being a swifter sailor, reach ed New York and landed her passengers before either of the other two had ar rive!. “tvliile engaged with these grateful thoughts 1 was startled by a terrible crush and shock as if the vessel bad been driven on a rock. I did not at. first fi el itme.li anxiety perhaps I was too ill to think much about, it. Hut my son jumped from Ids berth and rushed on deck. He was Luck again in it. few moments, exclaiming . tliii' the shaft was broken mid the vessel ' 'sinking. 1 did not at first believe it could ! be so Lad. hut eoneludotl to dress and go I on deep. The report Was only too true, i The ('iiptnin told the nff:ight<'d passen gers, who had rushed on deck, that there 1 was no danger, and .me of the second! cabin passengers return.,l to their berths. ' only to bo driven out i.;.i : n 1 y the inrush-1 Ing water, L aiitig everything: behind I them. “The officers and crew di.l all they ; could to save the vessel. But it was .soon i found tJint ihe pumps wore useless, fqr I the water poured into the ship too rap idly to lie controlled. There was iiotlimg more in the power of man tn do. We were utterly, absolutely helpless. We could only stand still on the poor, drifting .sinking ship, and look into our watery graves. At this time, unknown to' the passengers. the ollieers were making ) reparations for the last, resort. The life bouts were all put in readiness, provisions prepared, life-preservers in hand, the offi cers armed with revolvers to enforce their orders, and the question was evidently Lotus debati'd in their minds whether to launch the boats at once, or wait. The wit was so heavy that the bonis could hardly have lived in it. Two ( f pas sengers had loaded revolvers ready to blow out their hr.tills if the vessel; should jr > down, preferring death by‘-l>iiJh'ts to death by drowning.''

Saturday afternoon, but the night < ; ;ed upon us without sign of a sail. '■That was an awful night the darkest in our lives. .Seven hundred men, women and children waiting for the doom that ■was settling upon us. No one dared to Bleep. NVe were all together in the sa loon of the first cabin —Jews. Protest ants. Catholics ami skeptics—although 1 doubt if nt that time there were many skeptics among us. The agony aud sus pense were too great for words. With blanched fiaces and trembling, hearts the passengers looked at each other, as jf trying W read what uo on edared to speak. "Rockets flamed into the sky, but there wns answer. We were drift ing out of the track of the great steam ers. Every hour seemed to increase the danger of our situation. "Sunday moriiiug dawned, without help or hope. Ip to that time no sug gestion of religion* services had been made. To have done that would almost certainly have produced a panic, hi the awful .suspense aud dread that pre v tiled, n word about religion would have suggested the most terrible things to the poor souls. It was nueetwary to divert their minds, if possible, or they would break under the strain. But ns that second night same on, we held a prayer iii' < ting, with the concurrence of the. captain. Everybody attended, and • think everybody prayed, skeptics and all. Sincly the cries of the dear little child ren were heard in heaven. With otia arm clasping a pillar to steady myself on the reeling vessel, I tried to read the nit ety-first Psalm, and we prayed that God would still the raging of the sea mid bring us to our desired haven. It was u new jisahn to me from that hour. The eleventh verse toueheil me very deeply. It wns like n voice of divine. •■isMuranco, and it seemed a very real thing, ns I read: ‘He shall give his an gels charge over thee to keep thee in all | thy ways.’ Surely ho did it! 1 road also from the one hundred and seventh Psalm, verses 20 to 31. One lady thought those, words must have been written for the oecnsion, and iiftcrwards asked to sei-, the book for herself. "I was passing through ti new ex perience. I had thought myself superior to the fear of death. I had often preach ed on the subject and urged < .hristinns to realize this victory of faith. During our civil war I hud been under fire with out. fear. I was in Chicago during the great cholera epidemic and went around with the doctors, visiting the sick and dying. M'here they could go to look after the bodies of men. I said I could go to loo); after their souls. I remember a case of small-pox, where the flesh had literally dropped from the backbone, yet I went to the bedside of that poor sufferer again and again with Bible and prayer for Jesus’ sake. Ju all this I had no fear of death. "But on the sinking ship it wns differ ent. There was no cloud between my son! and my Saviour. I knew my sins hud been put awny. ami that if 1 died there it would bo only to wake up hi heav'en. That wns all settled long ago. But. tut my thoughts wont, out to my loved ones nt home—my wife and chil dren. anxiounly awaiting my coming'--- my friends on both sides of the sea—the schools and all the interests so dear to me —and realized that perhaps the next hour would separate me forever from nil those, so far as this world was concerned, I confess it almost broke me down. Jt was the darkest hour of toy life. J could not endure it. I must have re lief, and relief camo in prayer. God heard nty cry and enabled me to say from the depth of my soul: “Thy will be done.” It was all settled. Sweet jH-iice came to my heart. Let. it be North hold or heaven! It mado no difference now! I went to bed and almost imme diately fell asleep, and never slept more soundly in all my life. Out of the depths I cried unto the Lord, and ho hoard me aud delivered me from all my tears. I can no more doubt that God gave answer to my prayer for relief, than I can doubt my own existence. “About three o’clock at night T was aroused from my sound sleep by the voice of my son. ‘Come on deck father' ho said. I followed him, and he pointed to a far-off light rising and sinking on the sen. It was a messenger of deliver ance to uk It proved to be the light of tho steamer Lake Huron, whose look out had seen our fiumiug signals of dis tress, and supposed it was a vessel in flames. Oh, tho joy of that moment when those seven hundred despairing passengers beheld the approaching ship! Who can ever forget it! “But n'b'lL the question is, can this small the helpless Spree a thousand n les%to Queenstown? Every movement was Ywatched with intensest anxiety ami prayVr. It was a I rave and perilous im ertaAing.

The resetting ship that, God sent, to us in our distress, had just sufficient power to tow our vessel, and just enough coal to take her into port! There was nothing to spare! Less would have been insufficient. Her captain also is it man of prayer, and besought God's help to enable them to accomplish their dan gerous and difficult, task. God answered the united prayers of the distressed voy agers and brought them to their desired haven. "Tho nervous strain of those eight days and nights of suspense was some thing fearful. It was more than any o.ic could long endure without help. Tho minds of several passengers gave way under the strain, and they Lad to be put under restraint. A young Austrian who had left his betrothed in Vienna, leapeu overboard in despair, and was drowneil before our eyes in spite of all we could Jo. It was a most, pathetic sight to see a young mother, with two beautiful chil dren, sitting in dumb anguish during tbs first, forty-eight hours, never taking her ; •yes off the little ones, and if the ship i had gone dowt . I have no doubt she I would have gathered them to her bosom I and gone down with them in her arms. 1 There was a Russian .low who had ta i ken passage without the knowledge ot ' his relatives at home. It was pitiful to seo his distress, as he confessed his sin. ' heal, his breast, and denounced himself las the Jonah of the company. Kneeling I upon the deck, with trars streaming j down his checks, he cried to Jehovah • not to visit the punishment of bis sin j upon all those unfortunate people." | In the. course of bis narrative Mr. ' Moody related a number of interesting incidents t > show how they had to try to divert the overstrained minds of the people from tho one brooding thought that, oppressed them. Ho said he told them .ibont all the stories he know during those long days and nights, and. strange as it may seem, laughter ami merriment were often heard around his table. It was .1 hard thing to do. but one must lenrn to boar the burdens of others on such oc casions. One lady, to whom Mr. Moody used to read I lie scriptures, alway s wan ted to have something about I'anl’s ship- I wreck, aud. however, he might divert her mind for awhile, she always swung back again to the shipwreck. At. tlte conclusion of his thrilling story, which I have but partially ami very iiii i perfectly reported, Mr. Moody read the two Psalms referred to. with new and i deeper apprehension of their pre< :o tsness •nid power.

TTTE AUGUSTA WEEKLY CHRONICLE, JANUARY 11, 1893. DICK IS DEAD. The Only Hunting Turkey in the Whole Country. Bick is dead. Ho was buried at Minnewauga springs a few days ago with' appropriate cere monies. Dick was well known throughout the country as “the huqting turkey,” and | sketchi's have been published from time to time concerning him which have b en copied extensively. Ho wns probably the most famous fowl in the country, and Uo died of old age, honored by all who knew him. Dick was the property of Maj. Willis, at one time proprietor of the Rut sei House in this city, and now tho owner of Che Minnewauga springs property, und at one time the Major refused for Di<;k. The turkey had been trained to hunt for wild turkeys and was as anxious for Ute sport ns is n first-cluss pointer. He would follow the hunters to tho woods, and settling himself down uti'-r a cry of defiance. If there was a wild turkey gobbler anywhere in thut vicinity he would come up bristling for a fight, when Dick would run towards the hun ters. Sportsmen would come for miles in or der to enjoy tho fun of hunting wild tur key with the tame one, and it was very seldom that they returned iinsticeessfi:!. With his dentil Ims passed away the on ly hunting turkey in this section, and probably the only one in the country, and he will be greatly missed by the hun ters in Bradley and Polk counties. — Chattanooga Times.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. s.—The Tradesman, in its annual for 1893, re ferring to the production of iron in the south, says that there are now 122 fur naces, of which 55 arc iu blast aud 07 out of blast. Os the furnaces iu bloat 44 are coke aud 11 charcoal. The pro duction of southern iron has steadily increased from 35.8,894 tons in 1881, when the total for the T'uited States was 4,205,414 tons, to a totul for 1891 of 1.773,230 tons, the entire production for the year for the whole country being 10,820,1100. The product for 1892 in the eight iron producing states of the south, the Tradesman estimates at 1,- 9G5.455 tons. Alabama was the largest producer among the southern states in 1892, having an estimated total of 1.- 034.407 tons. Virginia is credited with 355,900 tons and Tennessee with 291.310 tons. The cost of production in the south ern states is shown to be $10.92 per ton based on tho figures furnished by 24 furnaces, producing (147,728 tons. The cost of production is given by 26 northern furnaces which produced 544,377 tons was $14.10 per ton. The lowest cost price per ton reported by any southern furnace was $8.55 and the highest $12.50 The lowest price reported by northern furnaces was sl2 aud the highest S2O. The Tradesman says that the total week ly capacity of the southern furnaces is 49,685 tons, and that the present week ly output is 31,160 tons, and adds that tho last two years have been fairly re presentative years in which the iron in dustry has been on no boom, but carried on systematically and practically.
