SAVED FROM THE NIoKELEDEoN.
The Captain at Deaths Door When
the Rescuers Came.

GLOUCESTER, MASS, Aug. 2S.-The
schooner Martha A. Bradley arrived here
to-day from the Grand Bank, having on
board Capt. Charles 7. Rogers, of the boat
Nickeledeon, who was picked up on the
western edge of the Grand Bank Aug. 10 in
a helpless condition. Rogers sailed from
Boston for Paris in his 1S-foot Nickel
edeon July 3. He enjoyed favorable weather
until the Sth, when he took a gale from the
northeast lasting ~ hours. When it
abated he found himself on Georges ISLANDS.
On July % he spoke the bark Finland in
latitude 43' longitude 62' 35', and on July
"a he spoke the steamer Ocean in latitude
42' 40, longitude 81 20, which showed that
he had progressed only fifteen miles IN "A
hours.
THE ONLY VESSELS SPOKEN IN 3S DAYS.
These were the only vessels spoken dur
ing thirty-eight days. By July % Rogers
had become SO blind from the SUMS glare on
the water that he could not see his compass
and steered by the sun for three days. For
the last fourteen days his boat drifted
around at the mercy of the
wind and sea, the mariner being
nearly exhausted as well as almost
sightless, and spent the most of his time
lying in the bottom of his boat He kept a
drag anchor out and manged TO have light
burning at night. When found his con
dition was such that he could have lived but
a short time had he not been rescued. lie
could neither stand nor feed himself.
SHARKS AS GOOD OMENS.
His spirits were buoyed up by what he
considered favorable omens. At one time
four small sharks came near his boat. He
regarded this as an indication that he
would be picked up in four days by the

verified. For four days prior to
his rescue he saw a vessel each day
but they were so far away that his signal
was apparently not seen until the last day
of the four, when the schooner Bradley
came to his rescue. Since then his health
has improved, but he is still very weak.
His eyesight has been partially restored.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.--The navy de-

modore Kellogg, commanding the United
States steamship Ossipee, describing the
rescue Of two sailors from Arkansas Key,

general of the navy with instructions to

1t is undoubtedly a fact that Commodore
Kellogg recommends legal action against
the master of the schooner Anna, who
abandoned the men. The report will be
sent over to the department of justice to-
morrow, presumably with "A request TO

An international Commission One of

OTTAWA, ONT, Aug. 23.-It is now ad-
mitted in political circles here that Lord
Stanley has made urgent representations
regarding the recent seizures in Behrlng
sea. A leading official of the fisheries de-
partment says he feels certain that an inter-
national commission will be appointed after
the expiration of the Alaska Commercial
Company's contract TO settle the Atlantic
and Behring sea question. He feels conf
dent that compensation for the late seizures
will be paid the Canadian vessel owners.
A LACK OF SERIOUSNESS.
LONDON, Aug ri, 3 a. M.-The Times
says: There is q curious want of seriousness
about the Behring sea seizure. 1t appears
to be intended to frightnn away Victorian
sealers by sham formalities of capture,
and not exact the usual penalties. Amer
lea appears TO think this course
will appease the Alaska company,
please the Irish electors, and pet
not provoke British reprisals. But she has
no right TO play game of "bOurce" with
the weapons of illegal capture and search.
Unless England takes some active step
America will be perfectly content
with an interchange of views till
doOmsday. Americans will not find
us unreasonable on the score
of preserving the seals from extinction, but
if they persist in refusing to discuss any
settlement, our only course is to take vigor-
Gus steps to insure that our rights are
respected"

A POWERFUL PUMP.

One Of the pumps has a capacity Of AZ
600 gallons per minute, which is far in ex-
cess of the pumps at the Newport News
dock although they were regarded as ex-
cee1ingly powerful. There are two of these
pumps at the Norfolk dock, capable of
emptying it in an hour and twenty minutes
This is less than the time in wnich a large
vessel can be handled and placed in the
blocks in the dock, but the rapidity Of dis
charge will be the most important element
