One of the passengers of the Mare
chal Canrobert tells how the vessel
was run down by the IIoche. His ac-
count does not show where the fault
Is, for the passengers shw nothing un-
til the moment of thS accident. Opin-
ions are much divided on the subject,
but the general feeling is that the cap
tain of the ATarechal Canrobert was
very imprudent in trying, with YES
sci making twelve knots, to pass in
front of ten men-of-war, covering a
large space and making seventeen or
eighteen knots.
What seems to have excited the ad-
miration of all was the presence Of
mind and activity shown by the cap
tain and crew of each vessel in the ter
rible situation which lasted nearly six
teen minutes before the Marechal Can
robert sank.
The captain of the Hochc had Crap
pied the Marechal Canrobert, and his
sailors, rushing on board, seized the
passengers and hurried them on the
deck of the gunboat. Not till they felt
that the steamer was going down did
the sailors hurry back to the Hochc.
The captain of the Marechal Canrobert
was the last to leave his ship. But for
the GOODNESS of the captains and crews
there must have been great loss of
life

After battle, in which the carnage
was terrible, he went to visit field

wont was, to poor fellow who had
lost both his legs, he asked him about
his family. telling the aid-dc-camp to
make note of their names, ana prom

ket or bourse of precious stones
is held always in broad day

the access to it is difficult. for the door is

close and the stars disappear the moment
an unknown face appears at the thresh-
old. Don't believe for moment
that these dealers in precious stones ara

thing that bOthers them. What they dread
is to let the small jewellers know the real
value of their goods. AS soon "a the

the portfolios reappear.

are made of tin and are closed with lock
