in the public schools, was lapsed into heresy;
that these schools cannot best do their proper
work when giving no religious teaching what
ever.

KTRANGE STORY Of TIE SEA.
Stay ing by Disabled Vessel and Rc'
fusing All Help.

A Baltimore Md telegram says: A
letter from Captain G. A. Todd, Of the
British steamship Sarah, from Balti-
more to Galway, tells strange story of
the sea. He reports that on March 9TH
be met the French brigantine Dix
Freres, from Martinique, with sugar, for
Boston. They signalled for help, and
he sent boat to their assistance. Four
Of the crew got into the boat, but the
captain and mate refused to come,
saying they would stop and 60
down with the ship. The cap
tain also stopped . small boy from
getting in the boat, who was crying to
come. The boat by this time had her
eunwale stove in by the broken chain
plates, which were sticking out Of the
vessels side, aud was filling fast with
water, but could not sink on account
of the cork in her. So after the others
refused to come, and said they did not
want anything or help Of any sort, they
pulled down the French flag and other
signals which had been flying, and went
below, taking no more notice Of the
boat. "The boat then ran down to
leeward before the sea-" the Cap
tain says, $50 that we could
pick them up. We had q great
deal Of trouble to take our
boat on board again, as she had so
much water in her, but after getting
all safe on board We proceeded on our
voyage, bringing the four men with us.
How true these mems report is can
not say, bat they inform me that they
sailed from Martinique December 8,
1885, and that they lost their masts
fifteen days after, so they had been
drifting about in this state for over two
months. They also stated that there
vas one of the crew lying dead on
board when we took them off; also
that The whole Of the cargo had
dissolved and been pumped overheard,
q The vssssl made so much water. In
fact, oeuld see she was swimming
very light and was rolling very heavily,
and vas evidently not in . seaworthy
condition. l think their only chance
Of safety is in their being taken of by
soms other vessel, As l really do not
zee how they can get into port with the
vessel in her condition. The crew say
there was plenty Of rum on board, and
the master and mate were always the
worse for drink. Ny chief officer, who
vent 10 the boat, says they looked,
