She was the daughter a‘poor shoemaker. Her first husband was tailor engaged in tlic Greenland whale fishery. This last abip on which ho was employed was never again heard of after it wUied from port. Her second husband was a fisher man. For thirty years she led the sim pie life of toilsome industry which is the lot of so many Shetland women, working among stock and with tho peat-gatherers by day aad at the famous hosiery in the evenings. Hhehad long been regarded as bearing a charmed life in the district of Neatness, where she lived. Eighteen years ago she was accl dentally shot in the crown of the head by sportsmen who bad not observed her being 1 _ range of his gamo. Ten years later, while driving a peat-cart, the pony becstuo restive and she was thrown out. Ono of tbo wbeeis crushed ber foot, injuring alio her hip. Rhe bat never been fully well since— hence her trip to Lerwick to see a doctor there. Bhc was intrusted with forty knitted shawls by her neighbors to sell. Theso she returns with, thus keeping her trust sacred. Tbo skipper of the Columbine, a fishing craft of twenty-one tons, offered her a passage. The Columbine had left Lerwick and tho trip should havo extended to Dunrossness aud Fair Isle, to widen places it carried the sample mailbag, but the rough weather compelled it to return to Lerwick,when it was only twenty- four miles away. Proceeding to sea with the usual complement of three men,tbe littlo vessel had not long been under way before tho weather became boisterous. Elizabeth Monat whs below seasick,and waa seated near tbe foot of tho cabin steps. Hhc heard U10 skipper cry out, “The malnsheots arc. broken!” Looking up through the open hatchway she saw him run to tho fore part of the beat, and tbe next moment heard another voice cry, “dear away tho boat! ’ Fearing something alarming had occurred, sho cn* diayored toclimb up tho steps to look out. In doing so sho fell back on the floor. Iu about ten minutes she rallied, and on again ascending tho steps, to her amazement she discovered tho crew had left. Hho felt no doubt that when tho skipper went forward the swinging boom had knocked him over board, and that within ten minutes of her fall tbo two men bad put out in tho boat to rescue him. The sad fate of the captain and the dhunay with which the mendWered the Columbine again under way and found it impossible to overtake her are already known to nailers. Theyaro also awars of iheext hauiited condition in whiub tbo men roachod land; of the alarm spread as the Columbine *^ ,c,D , fro, ?,. <l,,orc » Miring seaward with a solitary invalid woman on board; of tbo start* ingin pursuit of the steam trawlers Gypsy and the Earl of Katland, their return without Andinjany traces of the ill-fated craft. Tbo vessel was rolling, at tho mercy of the wayraln the stormy North sea, and as the i ?•?? online* of the islands woro quick ly left behind tho truth of tho terrible situation in which the was placed presented itself to the old woman. Being under no sort of control, the helm shifted at every lurch. The waves washed over tbo deck flrst from ono side and then from the other, lltivy showers of spray were Idown down the hatchway. The loosened ■all, flopping with tho wind, was gradually being reduced to tatters. The boom was swinging, and the ropes, with the blocks at tached, were flying dangerously about from the rigging. aw Awrrt. sjTtTATTtnr. ’I could only maintain my sitting posture/' said the wouian, “by keeping a firm hold of a rope fsstcmd to tbe roof, and was in danger every moment of being thrown vloloutly on the floor. Tho idee of being elono in a little ersf! on a stormy see, with durkneas or night remingon, horrified me. A fooling of terror is me over me and I commenced to scream, ilirn I l*rame calm, knowing my voho could tfsrh no human car, and thou thoro came to me the thought of tho impossibility of people on shore mr being aware of my fate. This was one Saturday night.” Bhe then told bow the long hours till day light were passed in tiresome cHurts to main- tnlu her sitting position, now with one hand and then with the other holding on to tho ropn until each became benumbed; bow a lurch of the vrtsfl overturned the tabic, and tho draw- era of tho locker slid out with a crash, and for the rest of the night rolled noisily about: ho w by the light of a match sho succeeded In fixing her feet upon tho heaviest articles on the floor, and by burning several other matches tried to rrsfiore a littlo warmth to her lingers. Hunday, m daylight came, she toileted she heard a little church bell ring. She prayed and soon felt calmer. Having tasted nothing since Saturday, she made her flrst moal on board, which was coufiaed to half a biscuit and a small quautity of milk. The experience of Sunday was much line that of the previous afternoon. Tbs storm ooutinuod unabated in J U| 7- h* tha courto of the day another heavy lurch brought down tho companion ladder. She hod not sufllcicnt strength to replaco it, and was thus practically imnrisoned. By standing on a chest fastened under the Udder she could look out, and overy day cost her eyes over tbe sea in search of land or passing vesrols. Sunday closed dark and stormy, aud the prospect of another night or terror was so overpowering at to indues that calmness which accompanies despair. Monday morning she again drew npon her scanty store of biscuit and milk. Snow and hail hod given place to min. Hudiug a piece of rope, she fastened it to that which liuug from tho roof and made a convenient loop in which sho could rest ono elbow at a time. This helped her remain seated, and her blistered hands got better. The captain’s watch hanging on a nail in tho cabin had ceased to goat l&M Monday. R hen the lonely woman fancied tho day had advanced to about that hour sho wound it up. This she did dally until her release, when, as sho somewhat triumphantly said, the watch was found to bo uot so far wroug. Tho pres ence of the watch, too, was a source of quiet comfort. Searching around the cabin during the moments when tho lurching ceased, she found a stout sailor's Jacket, which she put on •hove her shawl. Thus a sufficient degree of heat was maintained In her body to proveut any serious shivsriug. which in the night might have been very dangerous. Monday night, like the two which hod pro- ceded it, dosed dark and cheerless. Tuesday morning brought no iaiprovemont in the weather. The same aranty meal was again partaken. Toward the afternoon the weather moderated, and it was possible to sit without holding the rope. The cold in her extremi- tics was the chief cause of the • old woman's suffering. Wednesday tho sun waa shining brightly, and continued so all day. There was in this a glimmer of comfort, and the poor, lonely creature sat down to her lost meal on board with tbe last half of her buitcuit and driuking from a bottle of milk. She then climhed upon the box and looked out. It was midday, and the bow waa directed toward the sun. I.IXD AT I.AST. Looking behind, to her momentary delight ►be raw land which the knew by the sun to Lay northward • and that the course of the vessel was for the time «nutherly. She described the lsnd as a ranse of low hills, with much higher scow covered hills iu tho distance. The course of the ves» e! soon left them far behind. By Thursday morning the craft had lost a vary rag of soil and was drifting stern foremost. More cheerless hours passed. Early Friday moru* ing the wind sprang np. The sea was violent, aad hunger and horror again oppressed the oil woman. Her thirst inc.^Gtetd and she eagerly licked drops from * the cabin windows. Through Saturday tie storm contiiued, but after midnight, then 168 bears having been pawod, sho fdfc the first indication that either help or destruction was at hand. The vessel began to strike violently on tcrr.e tubjnerged rockr, and with the rise and fail of tbe sea sho found a bed now on one inclination and then on auolhtr. The timbers began to break and strain, and m the vessel struck rock after rock tho noises produced by tho bumping, the.shifting of the furniture, and crcillatiuii of the mast which now began to give way were to the prisoner mo it terror striking. When Hunday morning broke, weak an exhausted as she was from starvation and ex jo*nre, and notwithstanding that the vessel was still roiltig among the rocks, Elizabeth Meuat contrived to raise herself once more upon the box and to look out. Hero at last was lord. The vessel was still besting along stern foremost. At ahoutH o’clock the Colum bine ran upon a shingly bench, leaned over to one side, and remained fast, tbe mast in tho same minute going over into the sea with a loud crash. Ah the vessel leaned toward tho fchore tbe water in the hole made its way into tbo cabin and soon rove to a foot. Ilf NORWAY. The place where the Columbine cat land after Its erratic voyage across the North sea was the little island of Lepsoe, on tbe north coast of Norway, twelve miles north of the fishing town of Aalcsnnd. This island is four miles long and two broad, consisting mainly of one bnge rock 1,600 feet high with, st several placer, narrow seaboard bowlders. Where the Columbine stranded there is only a very short stretch of shingly beach, and bad the vessel struck a few fathoms cither to the oast or west of tbe identical spot on which it now lies would only have been dashed to pieces against the precipitous rocks and become An Irrevoca ble wreck, and Elizabeth Monat would have been killed. The solitary passenger » •* • v eagerly looking out from tho hatch' .uich stood breast high to her from her ! ; on tb i box beneath. Bhe was able ♦ ung 1 ; who had for romo time beei ... .ig th« Bhe waved her an-’S hi. 1 it. d h^r voice to its highest pitch. Acthc^on . „i.ian scream ed for help the lads si onted in return. Hev era! ran off to tbe nearest hamlet, called Far stad, for assistance. A number of fishermen arrived, but as the vessel was distant from tbe beach 600 yards and was in a heavy surf it was evidently going to bo a work of considerable difficulty to get on board. Ono fisherman with a rope nronnd his waist walked into the sea, but was rcveral times beaten back. At length, getting hold of a part of a sail and a roiie hanging front the bow he climbed on board and was soon afterward followed by a companion. Meantime Elisabeth had by a desperate effort climbed out on the dock, where Hho had never been since sho had gono on beard, and the men found her sitting almost helpless. Thoir language wa« unknown to her, bnt they soon gathered that the helpless woman was the only living creature on board. By means of a rope from the shore and with the assistance of the recurring waves, the ves sel was polled as far np on the beach as prac ticable and made fkst. Still, however, the distance between tbe ves sel and the land «wss great. Tho fishermen put a rope around the woman’s waist and threw it to land. They next lifted her over the bow and gave her hold of tho rope by which tbo vessel had been drawn toward the shore, sod which was there held taut by will Ing hands. Suspended In mid air, this much tried woman of sixty years actually scrambled band over band for a distance of several yards until relieved by two men from tho tbofo, who, standing un to thoir middle in tho water, caught her in their arms. She was carried ashore nearly dead with terror and exhaust ion. The people gave her food and rest. She gained strength rapidly, and was taken soon to the mainland, and thence by steam r to Hull. Thenco hither by rail. Horosho found a telegram awaiting ber from tbo mana'gsr of Royal aquarium in Londou offering to pay her *10 a week and expenses to come to tho aqua rium. All sho would huvo to do would bo to rcceivo visitors. Tho proposal whs at onco declined. GEORGE WASHINGTON. The Celebration of HI* lllrttiflny Throughout the Country.

Tho old ’omaa got the baby to sleep, littlo John T.

Then little Grover Cleveland, six months old, who had slept through all the racket, as quick as things got quiet, waked np and begun to “wack-wack-wock,” and Caledo ny gin another groan. Alter a little everything got still agin and Caledony tuck a notion she’d git on tother side of tbe pailet away from tho child that was likely to have a spasm. She give Rob ert F.

I lay 1 ran put von hick,” and his mammy riz in the dark and piled him over in amongst ’em, then come down on Cal with a rousin slap. “I mought er known! your sis, May-liza'wouidn’t rest tel she kicked you off n this pallet.” It's me you’re hitting,” says Caledony “Don’t-oh. don’t, it’s me.
