THE STORY OF DOCRA Y'S ESCAPE

Frederick A, Docray, whose case was
the cause of Minister Cushing's demand
upon the Spanish Government for the
former gentleman's release and observ-
ance of the trSaty of 1905, tells the story
of his escape. He says that November
10Th he was informed that the Spanish
authorities had remanded him to his old
convent prison. Reporting to the local
officials he was told that they had re-
Ceived information on the subject. Freed
from his parole and not yet imprisoned,
he thought that now or never was his
opportunity to escape, and by daybreak
next morning he was on board of the
American brig lying in the harbor.
That night he was carried to French
steamer bound for Marseilles, but was
informed that no passengers would be
taken. On the following evening it was
dark and rainy, and he endeavored to
board British steamer While rowing
towards the steamer an open boat shot
ClO0O up W MN anu OllG Vi VIC ul6D SdlU
"That must be the American who re-
Gently escaped" Next night he got on
board the British steamer, but on ar
irving at Denia, fifty miles south of Va.
lencia, the captain becoming alarmed in
sisted on landing him. The captain ofa
felucca came on board, and persuaded by
ten dollars and bottle of brandy con.
sented to take Docray on board. The
felucca sailed for Gibraltar and encoun-
tered a severe gale which blew for eight
days. Being blown over to the African
coast the felucca put in at Tangiers in
sight of the galleys at Centa, the near
est approach he was destined to make to
his prison house. Thence he went to
Gibraltar, where he put himself under
the protection of the British flag. From
Gibraltar lie went to London and thence
to this city.

If you orI
To-day should die
The birds would sing as sweet tomorrow
The veTnal spring
Her flowers would bring,
And few would think of us with sorrow.
Yes, he is dead,
Would then be said;
The corn would floss, the grass yield hay,
The cattle low,
And summer go,
The few would heed us passed away.
How soon we pass
How few alas
Remember those who turn to mold
Whose faces fade.
With autumn's shade,
Beneath the sodded church yard laid
Yes, 1t is So
We come, we go
They hail our BIRTH they mourn our dead
A day or more,
The winter DER,
Another takes our place instead.
