selves, coming to the surface with gurgling
sound, and sinking again with despairng cries,
in reaching the boat, which was floating bottom
up, and clambered on to the keel. Suisse
quently five others were pulled up and got
astride the keel Underneath, wedged in the
seats of the boat were those who had been in
her when she capsized. These men were not
quite in the water, and endeavored to cheer
each other by singing hymns and praying. A
man named Donaldson was underneath the
capsized boat all night until they were picked
up by one of the other boats in the morning.
When she capsized, he kept his hold and went
over with her, managing to secure position
above the bars, where he remained talking to
himself and moaning until he swooned. His
companions on the outside were unable to as
sist him. In the morning. when they were
picked up, the bottom OF the boat had to be
broken through to get him out. His suffer-
ings were terrible from long exposure to the
waves and lack of fresh air. They were on
the capsized boat until five o'clock the next
morning, when the three others, which had
been successfully launched, and their boat,
drifted together and they were taken into the
boatswain's boat which, in Benefits opinion,
might have been done far sooner, and thus
might have saved the lives of some under the
boat. A short time after they saw barque,
and boat in which was Allan, the third off,
Ger, who assumed command of the whole

noon, when the bsrque WAS lost sight of. Then
they came back and passed through the wreck.

hove to and spent the night, cold and chilly
one as best they could covering themselves
with pieces of sail cloth. In the morning they
deserted another sail and followed it. Their
signals being observed, the ship hove to and
they were taken on board. The number who
persisted is estimated to be about one hundred
and thirty five, more than were lost in the re-
cent disaster at Gay Head, off the Massachu-
sets coast

lodging always costs dollar-the accommoda-
ton consisting generally of a share of bunk
strewn with cedar boughs and couple OF blan-

costs fifty cents more.
THE Alert, the last ship of the Arctic expedi-
ton, sailed from the Brooklyn navy yard Sat-
urday morning, Captain George W. Coffin, COM
mapder. 1t has cost about $4,000 to fit out
the Alert, and, notwithstanding the work was
quickly done, the vessel went out in excellent
condition. The ward-room, the cabin, and the
state rooms we're fitted in the English fashion,
everything being substantial. There were heavy
mahogany chairs tables, and bureaus, and the

In connection with the arrest at Ottawa of
Francis Lewis, an oldsuperannuated government
employee, for forging Dominion Ell 900 bond,
it is believed that some startling disclosures
will be made during the trial, duplicating other
prominent officials in certain Irregularities.
Some time since, when the Dominion govern
ment and Bank Of Montreal undertook to bal
ance their accounts, there was discrepancy Of
$4,000, which has, up to the present time,
baff1ed the efforts of the most expert account
ants in the government service to detect. 1t is
but few months since the public was made
aware of the fact that bundle of 50 govern
ment notes, amounting to $4,000, was missing
from the government vaults. The affair still
remains mystery. 1t is impossible to say at
present how many of these forged Canadian
bonds have been put in circulation, as the
blank forms on which the bonds are made out
are accessible to any of the clerks in the de-
| partment, and, as in the case of the one that
has been traced to Lewis, forgery could be
easily achieved.
