GALLANT RESCUERS
Stirring Incidents of the
 Storm in Great Britain.
THE B1ENvENUE's CREW SAVED
Taken Off the Wreck After Many Futile
 Attempts by the Life Savers.

The Twenty-seven Men Entirely Ex-
 bausted by Their Struggls-Many Lives
 Lost and Tremendous Destruction
 Wrought Indignation at the Apathy of
 a Life Saving Crew.
 LONDON, Nov. 12.-The great storm, which threatens more disaster even than the one of three weeks ago, continues to-day, and from all parts of the coun- try come reports of wrecks and casual ties.
 No braver struggle for life has ever
 been witnessed on this coast than that whi oh resulted last night in the rescue of the members of the crew of the Brit ish ship Bienvenue of Glasgow, which was wrecked at Sandgate. Ever since the terrible situation of the crew be- came known the Hythe and Sandgate lifeboats had been struggling to reach the doomed vessel through the danger ous breakers, which boat with a fury that seemed to make the existence even of a lifeboat impossible.
 While the crew chung to the masts the people on shore tried to make their encouraging cheers heard above the roar of the storm. About half-past four in the afternoon the Bienvenue be- gan to break up, but the masts, with
 the unfortunates clinging in the rig ging, still held together. About this time the multitude on the shore were thrilled by the spectacle of a seaman's daring and desperate strike for salvation for himself and his fellow-survivors. The sailor, a brave, sturdy fellow, looking every inch 8 British seaman, fastened a line around his waist, and leaped into the waters that beat with fearful foam about the wreck. Cheer upon cheer went up from the watching thousands. The sailor struck out boldly for the shore. He was evidently a splendid swimmer, and for few mo- ments it seemed that the powerful sweep of his limbs would carry him through the boiling waves. But suddenly, a pursuing breaker burst upon him aud he | was buried from sight.
 Breathless with anxiety, the crowd on shore and the remnant on the wreck | awaited the mans appearance. Even | the storm seemed to hush. Then came an agonized cry from hundreds of throats
 as the sailor appeared again, limp and | lifeless tossed on the crest and in the l hollow of the waves. He was dead, and | his fate seemed to foreshadow the doom | of his late companions. Not long after l ward the corpse and that of another | bold swimmer from the wreck, was car- | ried ashore.
 The storm abated somewhat as dark | ness grew, and another attempt was
 made to launch the Sandgate 1ifeboat. 1 Scores of volunteers assisted in the launching, and, amid shouts from thousands, that must have sent hope full echo across the stretch of foam to the weary hearts and numbed limbs on
 the wreck, the lifeboat started. It seemed doubtful for while whether the task could be accomplished, but at l laDath. after tremendous struggle. the

Raised the Lynn School Standing.

LYNN, July 24, 1891
 My Dear MT O'Keefe-Aside from con- alterations of friendship as a citizen conversant with the public school work of this city for over 25 years, I am happy to add my testimony to the great esteem in which your charge of the High school has been commonly held. Your scholarship has never been questioned, it is of high order, and we have spoken of it with pride and satisfaction Without disparagement to your predecessors, it may be said that the school has never before been in so high standing. In point of discipline you have commanded the respect of your as. sistants and the general approval of your pupils. It gives me great pleasure to add that you have preserved the moral tone of the school, and at the same time have avoided any collision with the community upon questions of religion in connection with public school education, In this respect, so far as I am aware, there has been never an act or expression on your part to occasion public criticism. Wish ing you the success which your fidiIity deserves, I am most sincerely,

The Man For the Place and the Hour.
 WooDFoRD's ME, 7-24, '91. To whom it may concern
 During residence of nearly four years in Lynn, Mass, became in various ways acquainted with the Lynn High school. A son and daughter of mine each attended two years, and sometimes had the pleas ure of visiting their classes. MT J. A. O'Keefe, the principal, seemed always the man for the place and the hour. regard him as 8 man of rare executive and teach ing ability. Wm P. PINKHAM, A. M.

board of education for some six months, and during this time no member brought forward Mir. Hovey as a candidate for the position. Nor can it be said that Mir Hovey, being then in foreign coun- try, was entirely absent from ou1 minds, At this very time the republi- can member who is now so loud in his praise of that gentleman, did think of him, and offerd to the board a resolu tion deprecating MT Hovey's manner of dealing with pupils as calculated to dis courage them in the prosecution of their studies;s and requesting that the board require that all cause for such complaint should cease for the future; and 1t was at the earnest entreaty of a democratic mt mber that this dispar aging, but l do not say uncalled for, records. Even then the purport of the resolution was carried out, and the superintendent was instructed to bring the matter to the attention of MT Hovey.
 Secondly, a committee on teachers regularly appointed, had the duty of presenting to the board the names of the candidates who in their judgment were most eligible. These gentlemen did not present the name of MT Hovey. Nor again, can it SN-~ him. MT Hovey heard of the changes in the. High school ,and request ed that his name should be presented as candidate; and his name was pre- sented to the committee and was imme- diately rejected, in which rejection this same republican, member fully ac- quiesced. Of the sincerity and ability of the chairman of that committee, no one who knows him will doubt. To his ex- cellent scholarship, ripe judgment, un tiring zeal, unfagging devotion to the cause of education the schools of the district owe most of the progress which they have made for some years. Hence without questioning the good taste or nice sense of justice of the members who now seem so thoroughly oblivious of. the past, we respectfully submit to the petitioners that if we have placed Mir Hovey second to MT O'Keefe our action did not lack fair cause.
 Respectfully,
 A DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF THE BOARD.

How He Conducted the High School.

LYNN, Mass, July 30, 1891. To whom it may concern:
 For the four years just passed have taught in the Lynn Classical High school under the principalship of MT John A. that during the whole of that period my official relations with him have been en- tirely harmonious. His conduct of the school has been of high order, and he leaves it in condition of efficiency and excellence due in large measure, by com mon consent, to his able guidance. There is in this community, to my Knowledge, no question of MT O'Keefe's scholarship, his power as an instructor, or hie capacity for discipline.

Napoleon and TaIleyrand.

What was strange in Napoleon's be-
havior towards me was that at the very
time that he showed himself most sus-
picious of me he was endeavoring to
draw me nearer to him. Thus in the
month of December, 1918, he asked me
to resume the portfolio of foreign affairs,
which straightway declined, convinced
as was that we could never agree on
the only possible way of his escape from
the maze into which he had been brought
by his folly.
A few weeks later, in the month of
January, 1914, before his departure to
the army, and when M. de Caulaincourt
had already started for the Chatillion
congress, the emperor worked almost ev-
cry evening with M. de la Besnardiere,
who had the foreign Office in M. de Cau-
laincourt's absence. In the course of
these conversations, which were kept up
far into the night, he often opened his
mind to him in strange fashion. Thus
he several times repeated to him, after
reading the dispatches in which the Duke
of Vicenza told him of the progress of
the Chatillion negotiations, "Ah! if Tai
leyrand were there he would pull me
through. "-Talleyrand's Memoirs in Cen
tury.
