SCENES on THE sCHILLER--N0T A CHILD
SAVED.

A London letter to the New
York Tribune tells the following
simple but sad story of the wreck
of the Inflated Schiller:
Mrs Christine Seems, the old lady
saved from the Schiller. having re-
covered some what from the shock
on her nervous system, relates to
lady correspon dent the follwing
incidents of the shipwreck
She said among the passengers
was "a lady who had Il beautiful lit
tie boy; he was every bod,'s pet on
board and would be seen pia, ing
all day long with his mother or
other ladi - and gentlemen. After
the steamer had struck the rock
that lady with her boy in her arms,
rushed franticaiiy upon deck, and
fell upon her knees before a sailor.
''Save me and my child, for Gods
sake, save us. am rich, lmmenst.
ly rich-sav- me and IhOu shalt De
wealthy and without cares forever.
[ will give thee enough for AL thy
Lille. Thou need nn, be sailor
then-oh save me and my cIi.id."
A big wave sweep over the deck
and carried away the rich mo hrr,
her beautiful child and 'he poor
sailor.
Another lady on board had IA Ii
tie girl about three years old who
looked like an angel. The mother
being mostly seaslck, woulu not
allow an. body to take the Child
away out Of her sight. Many ladies
offered TO play with the Child un
deck, but the mother ALWAYS Ohjec
ted on the ground that the child
might be hurt or even fall over
board through carelessness or over
light! Her child in the water
Tue bare idea would already make
her mad. When the catastrophe
came the mother rushed on deck
with her child on her arm and At
once jumped into the sea. The
idea of seeing her child in the
water had made her mad. Mrs.
Seems further said:
1--WE had great mary handsome
children ON board, whose gaycty
everybody, aud though
myself it almost b,eaks
