Railroad company at first refused TO obey

that less than forty miles OF the

An accident, in which the car stove got
in it, usual effective work 10y roasting six
people TO death, led to the indictment and
arrest Of a round dozen of It's directors for
disobedience Of the law The directors
have givon bail and their cases have not

announced that fifty Of the company's cars
will be equipped with steam-heatIng APP
paratus within few DAYS and the work
will be continued at the company shops
until every passenger car on the road rs
fitted with steam and hot-water pipes. The
moral Of this little story is obvious. These
directors nave taken new view of the
law since the law got its grip on the direct
ors. They don't wait for the courts to
decide whether the law applies TO their
road. It is enough that they have fallen

that evening it became warmer, and the
captain told me we were Just entering the

Although there was but little wind we
ma good time while we were in the
gulf stream, for this remarkable stream
itself will send a vessel along at the rate
of three miles per hour without the aid
Of Wind or anything else.
THE remainder of the voyage was
very rough one. The fair wind we had
produced a very heavy sea, which coming
in contact with worse one from the
northeast caused the brig to literally stand
first on its head, then on its heels The
first officer while tying the sail on the lib-
boom, which the sailors had failed to hasten
properly, was put entirely under water by
the pitching of the vessel. 1t was impos-
sihle TO stand on deck. and at one time |
looked for the founderlcg of the vessel at
any moment The cabin floor was stre.gn
with books, cigars, charts and nautical in.
struments, and also with the contents of
my stomach, and at one time almost every
thing was under water. In the midst of
this the captain was seen more than once
trying to get little sleep when the worst
was over, lying on the floor with MS oil
skin and rubber boots on. Sailors
thought the vessel would surely go
down, and the captain said he had
never seen so much water thrown in his
twenty years experience. The night
after Christmas vas very little better than
the previous night, and as it was cloudy
we were uncertain as to our exact location
and had to be very careful, as we were in
the region of Cape Hatteras the dread
of all sailors on coasting vessels. The
weather. too. was very severe on all Of us,
and began to think more of death than
a life on the ocean wave.
After many ventures we passe Cape
May, but could not get into Delaware
Bay owing to the heavy sea and strong
head winds We sailed along the coast
until opposite Atlantic City when we
tackled back again to the entrance to Del
aware Bay, where we anchored until we
were picked up by tugboat, which start
ed up the bay during the night, but the
ice was so bad we had to lay by until
morning and then following in the track
of couple Of steamers we reached the
dock at Philadelphia after an exciting
voyage of just thirty-one days.
