STRANDED SHIPS
ARE WORSE OFF
—— >
Severe Snow and* Wind Storm
Raging Where the “Sachem"
and “Riverßdale" Are.
Norfolk, Va.— With a savor* snow
imd wind otorm raging fin th« coast,
thjt British steamships Sachem—
ashore near Ho* Island, north of Cap*
Charles—and the Rlversdale —stranded
near Little Island, south of Cape Hoi#-
ry—were today In more danger than
at any time since they struck, one on
Saturday and tho other on Sunday
last. The wind at the Virginia Capes
this forenoon was blowing between 25
and 40 miles an hour from the north
east and the seas were running high.
The Sachem, which lies on a bar two
and a half miles from shore, exposed
to all winds. Is In worse condition than
the Rlversdale, which lies well up on
the beach In a less tfeacherous post*
tlon. The crew of the Sachem, which
Is a Furness-Wlthy Liner, bound from
Boston to Newport News and Norfolk,
to finish loading for Liverpool, are
still aboard the vessel, but they to
day asked the wrecking tug I. J. Mer
ritt to stand well by the ship. This
was because of the severity of tho
storm and bad position In which the
Sachem lies. There Is quicksand In
the vicinity of the Sachem's position.
Some years ago a steamer was ashore
near the same point. Wreckers were
at work upon her In fair weather one
day and the next day a storm came
and the ship went to pieces, the wreck
ers barely escaping with thetr lives.
The tug Virginian Is swatting to
carry out from Norfolk a large barge
for the unloading of the Sachem's
cargo with the view to lightening her.
Bad weattser, however, is delaying the
departure of the Virginian and tho
barge.
The Riversdale's cargo of lumber Is
being thrown overboard and saved on
the beach. The Riversdale lies In al
most the some position as did the Bel
gian steamer Antigoon, which, lumber
laden, struck on the Little Island coast
In December 1905. The Antigoon was
saved. Her cargo of lumber likewise
thrown overboard was saved on the
beach, hauled across a narrow strip
of sand to the sound, made into rafts
and brought north through the inlanl
waterways and canals.

cough hangs on. racks the bodv,

At The Grand
“STOP THIEF*
’ What crooks acre to tho stage last
year, and for aonte seasons past, klep
temunlHca are to thla year. Aa a mat
ter of fact, we haven't had a Hlmon
pure kleptomaniac play since Clyde
Fitch wrote "The Olrl and the Judge'*
for Mrs. Kee Rankin and Annie Run
sell. On the stage, of course, ns In
real life, and ns sometimes In the po
lice courts, there Is all the difference
between "Who's who" and the City Id
rectory. Kleptomania In nil Its forma
alwnya carries class and distinction
with It which raises It so far above the
mere mediocrity of petty larceny that
It reaches almost tho romanttc attitude
of a second story feat. And In the
new farce which Is to be presented at
the Grand Wednesday. March 4th. insT
tlnee and evening, there are, to make
the assurance of sneak thieves doubly
sure, two klep toms nines. One Is the
bridegroom who Is about to be mar
ried to a blushing young bride, and
the other la the bride's honorable
father.
The old gentleman suffers from tbst
popular disease so rampant among
the feminine patrons of many of out
most prosperous department stores —■
absence of -mind. That Is to say. to
borrow a phrase from Christian Sci
ence, he gives all the valuables that
come within his ken, absent treat
ment. In other words they disappear,
of course, but, unlike most shoplift
ers, this old gentleman always con
trives to have the lost articles 'turn
up In most unexpected places. This
peculiarity of the bride's papa Is ex
plained to the prospective bridegroom
Just as the marriage Is about to take
place by the family doctor. At the
same time this gossipy person Informs
the bridegroom that Ills own father for
many years suffered from a similar
disease.

were eating dinner one day, and sud

'Au re voir!’ arid left. ‘An revolr!’ I
answered. But the gentleman on try
other side said, ‘Why did you say ‘Au

“‘I was answering the gentleman
who just feft the table,’ I explained.
‘‘But he didn't say ‘Au revolr revolr”
to you. He was saying it to bis din

"I asked my husband for a littlo
