having on board as passengers Captain
Peter Mineh, her owner, his wife, three
children and his wife's sister, beside the
regular crew of % hands. The rest Of her
short history is best told IN the words of
Stewart:
Everything went well until about so miles
above White Fish, when the first warning Of
impending danger was a terrible crash about
9 A. NJ, caused by the huge craft breaking in
two and breaking the main mast about half
way up the rigging. She took in water fast
from the start and the yawl boats were low
cred. Captain Minch, his family and the
officers and crew of the boat to the number
of II got into the wooden yawl and the others
took the metallic one.
Both of the YawIs Capsized.
The Reserve sank in ten minutes, and be-
fore she had hardly gone out of sight the
metallic yawl capsized. The other went to
her assistance, but only succeeded in rescu-
ing two of her occupants, Captain Myers
son and the steward.
The 10 survivors started for White Fish. 60
miles away. The yawl weathered the
breakers ali night and until in the morn
ing, when about q mile from the shore iG

that. struck for the shore, but the cries
of the children, the screams OF the women
and tie moaning of men were Terrible L

A search failed to find trace of any other

EVIL spirits Haunting Woman Who
Doesn't Believe in Doctoring.
AKRON, O., Sept. 1.-[Special. Mrs.
Catherine Gross of this city, was removed
TO the Northern Asylum for the Insane
at Cleveland to-day. For two years
she has been a hard student at
Christian science, and has worn
herself completely out by close attention 10
books and journals. While in poor health
she has refused all medicine and has placed
herself under the care of Christian scien-
fists.
Two weeks ago she was taken to her bed,
and week ago her mind gave away COM
pletelv. Strange hallucinations took pos
session of her, and contrary to Christian
science doctrines she believed evil spirits
were pursuing her. Twice she got out of
bed and wandered around the streets in her
nightclothes to elude the spirits. She is
now so exhausted that physicians say she
cannot live.

suffering. But be sure to get the
