The hail fell In straight lines, which the
fierce near lightning flashed up into the ap-
pearance Of giant harpstrings, on which the
black hand OF the night was playing those
heavy notes Of thunder. $50 In the shelter
OF the companion, very anxious and alarmed,
for there was powder enough In the hold TO
blow the ship into atoms; and the lightning
played so continuously and piercingly that It
was like hundred darts Of fire, violet, GRIM
SOD, and sun colored, in the grasp OF spirits
who thrust at the sea, oil over its face, with
swift movement OF the arms, as though
searching for the schooner TO spear her.
The hail storm ceased as suddenly as 1t had
burst. l stepped on TO the deck, and observed
that the storm was settling into the north
east, whence concluded that what draught
that might be up there sat In the southwest.
Nor was l mistaken, for half an hour after
the first Of the outburst, by which time the
lightning played weak and at long intervals
low aowu, and the thunder had ceased, felt
a craving of air coming out of the south
west. which presently briskened into a small.

telegraph bell rang to reverse engines
l jumped out of bed and rushed on deck
in nv night clothes. Just as | arrived
on deck there was tremendous crash.
We>had collided with large steamer
and struck her amldships, just below
confusion, and there were loud shrieks
mediately ran aft and ordered my crew
to prepare boats for launching. By the
time l returned to the bridge we had
disentangled ourselves from the strange
ship. l found on the bridge the second
officer of the vessel we had collided
with. From him learned that she was
our sister ship-the Geiser, Capt. Miller.
The ThIngvalla had cut into the Geiser
clean to the mates state room. The of
ficer was asleep at the time. He rolled
out of his bunk and grasped the chains
of our anchor. My first duty was to
look after my ship and quiet my pas
sengers. This did. Daylight was Just
breaking and there were no fogs, but it
was hazy and there was slight shower
of rain. l went forward to

Gelser sunk. l can't tell how long after,
but it was within ten minutes"
How many boats had you launched
'"one of our boats was afioat when she
went down."
Glow long did it take to launch that
boat?"
81 can't say; it might have been three,
four or five minutes. You know in such
fearful crisis as we were passing
through minutes seemed like hours"
Had the Geiser any boats out?"
"She had three, 80 heard afterwards
but they were all capsized by the sue
ton. The Geiser seemed to break into
two, and went down stern first with fear
full suction. The scenes at that moment
were indescribable. l have read thrill
ling romances of great disaster at sea,
but nothing ever read can compare for
a moment with the reality. Above the
gurgling noise of the suction rose the
shrieks of loo drowning men and wom-
en-. Oh, it was terrible. l can hear
their diving shouts at this moment, and
shall never forget the scene to my diving
dav, but it only lasted two minutes. The
widest cries for life began as the Geiser
commenced to sink. Her living freight
were drawn down by her, and the last
cries died away as she disappeared from
view. The final scene only lasted two
minutes, then the carnival of death was
succeeded by an appalling silence"

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet style Of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most In a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff The DAILY NEWS is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
condition of affairs is that The DAILY NEWS prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
ain considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionaby has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the cheap paper should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper may easily be even at its
reduced price.
"The difference of revenue between the two
cent paper (even more so when the price is one
cent? and the higher-priced "blanket-sheet," the
latter throws away in useless and unasked for
size that not only is of no worth to the reader.
but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
to CLEAN what is of real news interest from mass
of verbiage and worthless application.
at is because its managers have been wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements of the best American journalism of To-
