A Gigantic Band OF Elk.


On Thursday afternoon q gentleman was
seated on the platform OF the railroad freight
house. and amusing himself by scanning differ
ent parts OF the bay with powerful feid-giass,
that brought the opposite shore into such plain
view that man could be easily distinguished.
Presently, IN moving his glass from point 10
point, he caught glimpse OF an animal moving
along, and then another ard another, until his
glass appeared TO rest on large herd OF them.
he called the attention of Others TO them, and
among them an old hunter, who. after looking
at them few minutes, said: GOOD Lord,
those are not domestic cattle; that is band of
elk; see them jump Everybody then wanted
the glasses, and they were passed around from
one 10 another, until all had q chance 70 see the
wonderful sight. The number in the band was
veriously estimated at from $50 20 800. They sp-
peared to have come down on the Nemah flats,
but for what reason, unless with an idea of
cross. ng, no one could give satisfactory ex-
pianatIon, and q settler who has been IN the
country since 81 said he had never seen such
sight before. And it was 8 grand one; TO see
them leapiag, jumping and crowding one
other as they nouadered about in the mud, and
endsavored to make their way back to terra
frna- was g sight probably never to be seen
again, and was watched with curiosity until
they reached the land and disappeared in the
tall timber. Every available boat was at once
launched. and before the animals disappeared
quite little Spanish armada was half way

CAPTAIN ANDREWS PICKED UP.
His Terrible Experience In Crossing the
Atlantic in a Dory.


LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE British steamer
Eibruse, from Baltimore, August IL, arrived at
Antwerp today On board was Captain
Andrews, of the dory Mermaid, which sailed
from Boston some time ago in a transatlantic
race with the dory Sea Serpent, which arrived at
COverack, in the English channel, on August 5.
The fact that Captain Andrews is on board the
Elbruse, is taken to indicate that no has given
mp the race or else some accident happened to
his boat that made it necessary for him to leave
her.
ANTWERP. Aug 1.-THE British steamer e.
b-uz arrived from Baltimore today. On board
was Captain Andrews, of the dory Mermaid
which sailed from Boston some time ago on a
trans Atlantic race with the dory Sea serpsnt,
which was sailed by Captain Lawler. The Sea
Serpent arrived at Lizard point August S. Cap
tain Andrews became exhausted in mid-ocean,
and when an opportunity offered abandoned the
race.
Captain Andrews says he had good weather
until thirty-five days out from Boston, when
terrible storm came up. On August 16 a huge
wave filed the Mermaid with seven inches of
water. The next day a Tremendous wave cap
sized the boat and Andrews thought he was lost.
He was in the cabin, but managed
TO open the hatch, and, climb
ing upon the keel, righted the boat.
He prayed to God, for the sake OF his family, to
give him another chance and he would stop this
business. He then closed himself in the cabin
again and passed two days and two nights in
the same way. The wind ali this time blew
with such force that when he opened the hatch
little the wind he respired caused sound like
a big whistle. The lamp oil was exhausted, and
being too fatigued to keep watch he lay on the
bottom of the boat for four days, until picked
up by the steamer Elbruz Andrews declares
that he will never attempt the voyage again.
