Anna of Russia to guard her great
plaything, the first ice-palace ever
erected:
s'The Empress ordered six cannon
and two mortars to be set up on each
side of the front gateway. 1t makes
us shake eur heads when we read that
these cannon and mortars were like
wise of ice. And even her councillors
and wise men said one to another:
What will our old eyes be asked to see
nextp But the Empress laughed, for
she knew that so long as the sun kept
to his old path in the heavens, her pal
ace would be secure. But to prove to
her friends that the work was good,
she bade them place q quarter of
pound of powder and an iron cannon
ball weighing five pounds in one OF the
ice cannon. Every one trcmblingly
waited for terrible explosion. but
none came. The cannon remained in
tact, and the ball was thrown to some
distance, passing through board two
inches thick, placed abSut sixty PAGES

ahead of the wind all day, while the crew worked
at the pumps.
'JAt yesterday afternoon the vessel was dis
covered making for Station No. Is, just north OF
Barnegat Inlet. The vessel was bcached opposite
the station in hopes of being relieved by tho LIE
Saving crew. The captain of Station No. 10, now

miles distant, went to the assistance OF the crew.
He arrived in time to shoot line over the vessel
but the members of the crew were so weak IRON
working the pumps that they could not draw tho
ropes through the surf, and the vessel
broke TO pieces while they we're en-
deavoring to do so In one hour after the
vessel struck nothing could be discovered but lot
of broken pieces Of timber.
"The first person TO 60 from the vessel was Mrs.

assistance. The Swede could speak lttIe English
but said that the wife of the mate had borne up

until the going to pieces of the vessel, when her
shrieks were heartrending. Mate Scarborough is
from Mays Landing, where he left two motheress
children. Ike vessels cabin and articles OF Iurhl-
turs were washed ashore this morning.
