The sailors worked with a will until
they saw the boats drawing up to the
gangway and the passengers taking
places, when they left their work and
sprang for the boats. The passengers
made a rush at the same moment, but as
they neared the gangway they met VIII

young mate. "Pass along those ladies
first, for they go in the first boat"
The order was promptly obeyed, and
then six of the crew, called out by name,
went into the boats and pulled away
from the gangway, under command of
the first mate. Boat after boat pulled up
to the gangway, received its load and
pulled away. There was no more rush
ing, for there was death in the eyes of
the young mate and the captain, who
had taken his place by his side.
''My daughter is not in the boats,
young man. - said Arthur Vane, hoarsely.
''Miss Vane, said Will, ''you can come
now"
Mabel, who had been standing apart,
hurried forward. Mr.. Vane stepped into
the boat and the last of the crew fol-
lowed. Then a panic seemed to seize
them and they pushed off, leaving the
captain and mate upon the doomed
steamer, as long tongues of fame leaped
out toward the boat. Through this fiery
barrier the two men dashed and were

The men looked at him tiercely, but the
steady eye of the Oldham awed them and
the two were helped into the boat, the
captain supported by the strong arm of
his gallant mate. The boats pulled away
together, while the column of fame
which shot into the air announced the
fate of the Gray Eagle. They reached the
islands safely after a week had passed.

The Pa1ma's Tournament
BoW1erS in Practice and
Match Games--Sport-
ing Events.

The head pin tournament of the Palma
Club, was resumed last night, and the
audience witnessed some pretty bowling.
The crack bowlers nave lot all appeared
to nave their names entered in the record
book, and a few have not yet reached the
total to have their names placed in the
roll of honor.
High scores have been SO numerous
that the committee at the close of the
bowling last night decided not to record
any total lower than fifty-1ve, as SO
many of those entitled to compete for
the prize for novices have excelled that
total that even the tyro must bowl as
well MS the cracks to win a souvenir for
his skill.
The interest is growing in the tourna-
ment and the balls were kept spinning
down the alleys last night as rapidly as
the pins could be placed. The excitement
will be at white heat at the close. and it
is extremely probable that the prize Win
ners will have clean scores of strikes.
