He turned about and approached the
rocks feet foremost. He was dashed against
them, and one foot was cut and bruised by
the sharp stone, and then he was carried
back, but not far, when a gigantic breaker
drove him down and he was whirled about
by powerful whirlpool. He seemed to be
many fathoms down. The waters were
dark and dreadful A feeling of hopeless
ness came over him, and for the first time
he felt that his hour had come. A feeling
of unutterable horror came over him. He
felt powerless to continue the struggle for
life and he abandoned himself to his fate.
Then occurred a miracle. In some fortu-
itous manner a floating timber had been
cast into the same waters. p
In this timber was nail. and as the man
and timber were whirled about the nail
caught the soft flesh in the mans arm, and
as the buoyant wood rose to the surface it
dragged upward the almost exhausted
mate of the Elizabeth, He was fortunate
to seize hold of portion of the wrecked
ship wedged between two rocks and strug-
gled to avoid being drawn under the wreck
age piled upon the shore. His legs had
become benumbed and seemed temporarily
paralyzed, but by an almost superhuman
effort ne managed to drag himself up on
the slippery rocks.
1t was SLOW ana laOorlouS work, and Mr.
Barclay was twenty minutes crawling half
as many feet, but he finally reached a spot
above the waves where, half dead with
cold, exposure and exhaustion, he could
rest and regain his strength. The waves
and floating timbers had torn his clothing
into shreds. and the wind was bitterly
cold. He forced himself to resume his
painful efforts to move forward. Horri
fled with his fearful experience, the fur
ther he was from the angry waters the
nearer they seemed in his excited imagina-
ton. At last he gained the top of the
bank, and the welcome calls of a covey of
quail, disturbed by his approach, assured
him of his safety.

How Many Ties are RequIredF

Assuming the entire railroad system
Of the United States TO be l6l, 1895 miles,
as appears frcm PoOr's Manual, with
the addition OF the lines In construction
during the current year, and taking
2040 ties per mile Of track, there are In
use at least 426, ,08s, ,0S0 ties. This esti-
mate, large enough as the total appears,
Is under the mark, for on the word OF
the Superintendent OF Pennsylvania
railroad construction corps, no road uses
less than 2640 ties per mile, and many OF
the roads with very heavy traffic have
2Sl0 and In few cases more.
In a recent lecture on Amer can
Woods Prof. BiclNmore mentioned the
enormous consumption Of wood for this
purpose, but il Is doubtful II the real
magnitude Of II was properly understood
by his hearers. The life OF those ties
varies according 10 their quality and the
climatic conditions. On the Eastern
roads, where only the best ties are en-
plOyed, the average life Is found 10 be
six years, while in the West,
