As he viewed the wrecksge from the
upper deck of the China steamer a woman
crying hysterically and holding on to the
rail of the deck as if to prevent herself
from jumping into the water attracted his
attention. Her meaning was apparent, for
struggling in the water was her 7-year-old
daughter, vainiy endeavoring to conquer
the cruel waves.
In an instant Spratt was upon the rail,
and with one leap be dived inio the water.
he reached the little girl just as she had
come to the surface for the last time. He
placed her in his arms and flosted on his
back to the steamer. The pair were then
taken on deck and the child restored TO her
grateful parent. The girls mother, on be
holding that Spratt had saved her daughters
life, fell on her knees and passionately
kissed the hand of the gladdened sailor.
The little girl was then taken TO The
Kitchen and restored to consciousness. Her
less fortunate sister, who was only 5 wears
OF age, fell victim 10 the relentless waves.
Spratt does not know how the children got
overheard, but he is of the opinion that
they, with their mother Jumped into the
water when the steamers first struck. Tie
mother was picked up by one OF the small
boats.

A GALLANT CHINAMAN.
How MODgolian Sailor Rescued Baby
from a Watery Grave.

The conduct of All Lun. the Chinese
sailor spoken of by Captain Metcalf as the
rescuer of little baby, is described by
those who saw the incident as courageous
in the extreme. All Lun was in boat
with three other Mongolians, and among
the debris he discovered the head of q
child. Throwing down his oar, he dived
in after the little one, and then, after
swimming for some distance, succeeded in
reaching her. A few strokes brought him
to the boat, which had been capsized in the
whirlpool formed by the sinking steamer,
and, climbing on the keel, he placed the
child in such position that the salt water
was forced out of her mouth.
A few moments afterward he was taken
oil and brought on deck, where a mother
was waiting to claim the little one 1t was
then discovered that All Lun had sustained
many bruises and lacerstions. his legs and
arms being cut and scratched severely.
Deputy Surveyor Fogarty was specially
delighted with the conduct of the China
man, who. it appears, is an old acouaint-
arce of his. When the urbane DEPUTY
reached the deck the Chinaman accosted
him, and after receiving his congratula-
tions asked if he did not think he ought to
be allowed to go on shore, though he was
not certifcated man. Fogarty assured
him that if it was in his power to let him,
he would be made an American citizen
without delay
-" If ever Mongolian deserved to be ha-
beas corpused," said Mr. Fogarty to Call
reporter, -" think All Lun is the man.

A COMPETENT OBSERVER.
Captain Reed Says the Catastrophe Was
Not Unayojdab ble.

Among the passengers on the Oceanic
was Captain Reed of the i'll fated San Pablo,
who was returning from Japan where he
had been on mission for a local firm. To
Call reporter, who asked him for his
opinion as to the catastrophe, he said: 1T
would afford me pleasure to give you my
opinion of the affair." but as l expect to be
called as witness, and probably will be
asked to testify, it would be exceedingly
improper for me to say anything which
would be likely to prejudice the case one
way or the other. L have no hesitation in
saying, however, that the collision was not
unavoidable, and that the fog was not so
thick as TO prevent our seeing the City of
Chester three quarters of mile off Is.w
her when she was that distance from u.s.
The cliffs on both sides of the channel were
also discernible. She was several points
to our starboard. running along the shore,
and headed toward Lime Point.'

a NOBLE DOG.
Efforts of an Irish Setter to Save chIld,s
Life.

There were three dogs-a splendid New
foundland, a fine setter and pug-tied up
on deck, beside handsome setter that be-
longed to Mr.. Debney, the purser. The
first three went down with the vessel. In
the panic on the part of the passengers and
the anxiety on the part of the officers to
save human life. the poor animals were
forgotten, and their last melancholy wall
mingled with the noise of the surging
waters as they closed forever over the City
of Chester. The purser's dog Jared less ig-
nobly. While the ship was settling down
in the water and horror filed ever breast.
the intelligent animal seemed to take in
the situation, and leaping on the rail with
defiant bark it sprang into the seething
waters. If the story told by passengers on
the Oceanic who witnessed the animals eff
forts be true, the instinct of self -preserva-
ton yielded TO its nobler instinct for saving
human life. 1t swan directly for child
that was struggling III the water, and seiz-
ing it by the clothing endeavored 10 bear it
up, and looked around for some person 10
assist it in its humane act The fate of the
child is not known, nor has the noble ami
NAL yet reported.

A MorHER,s GRIKF.
Brave Rescue by Charles spratt OF One
of Two Children

Charles Spratt, seaman on the City of
Chester, had, perhaps, the most romantic
escape from being drowned. He did not
desert the steamer until she was sinking,
having assisted a number of lady passen-
gers to reach the Oceanic. He jumped
into one of the small boats, and Individ-
ually was engaged in picking up those who
jumped into the water. He rescued six
persons, two of whom were ladies, and
placed them en- the Oceanic. From cold
and exhaustion he was unable to proceed
further with his lsudable work. and was
finally compelled TO board the Oceanic for
his safety.
