The snaps were not secure fastenings.
Scarcely night passed that one or
more animals did not get loose and
cause trouble. 1t was, moreover, a
slow process to set the whole herd
loose, as each stall had to be entered,
and nervous animals eager to get out
often pulled back so hard that it was diff
fcult to release the hooked snap from
the ring in the neck strap In an emer-
gency when the safety of the herd
would depend upon its rapid release,
the results might be most disastrous.
These considerations led me to decide
on a change, but to what should 1t be?
Every one of the long list of patented
and common devices had in my esti-
nation draw backs more or less serious.

ening the cattle by the neck as the

AT THE MERCY OF THE SEA.
The Steamer Sir Walter Raleigh Break,
Away From Her Tug.

LONDON, Feb IA tug has arrived at Crook
haven bringing a report of an accident that
threatens to have serious consequences. The
British steamer Sir Walter Raleigh, Capt
Smith. bound from Philadelphia for Falmouth
or Plymouth, arrived in Bantyy bay, on
the southwest coast Of Ireland, on Satur-
day last with her shaft broken in two
places It was impossible for her to
make repairs there, 50 the tug was engaged to
convey her 90 port where che could find facil-
lilies to repair the damage. The tug started
with the steamer, which had been lying az
Bearhayen. par: of Bantry bay, but before
they had proceeded far a heavy gale sprang up.
The steamship plunged heavily and tre-
mendous strain was put on the towing havser.
Il appeared at times as though the bits
would be dragged bodily out Of the boat.
Finally the steamship made a particularly
heavy lunge and the hawser parted, leaving
her helpless Attempts were made to get an
other line aboard the steamship, but they
were all fruitless- The wind and sea
were rapidly increasing and this mads II ex-
ceedingly dangerous for the tug to attempt TO
stand by her tow. II finally decided that
the tug must seek shelter. so she stood away
for Crookhayen.
The last seen of tine Sir Walter Raleigh she
was drifting seaward rapidly. Her officers and
crew are aboard of her, and IL Is hoped that
with the assistance Of her sails she viii be aho
TO ride out the gale.

She is . schooner rugged vessel Of /, 9S4 tons
burden and her sails more useful In steady
ing her in a blow than III propelling her With
the screw dragging behind she would be able
to make very little progress, and in the
gale prevailing when she parted from the
tug she could not spread all her canvas. The
steamer is owned by 7. Il. Triplett 4 Co. 1t is
believed that seagoing tugs will be immedi-
atsly sent In search of her. Before her ar
rival IN Bantry bay the Sir Walter Raleigh was
long overdue and her owners had paid the
underwriters 40 Sulneas extra premium on
her.
A terrific southwesterly gale is raging in the
English channel. The storm signals have been
hoisted ss all stations along the coast, and
several vessels lsboring in the heavy seas
have been assisted into port by tugs.
The channel steamers and the French pack
cts have been terribly delayed by the
storm and in one or two instances the vessels
are waiting for abatement before proceed
ing. binding snow storm is also prevailing
and is 90 dense that the salvage work upon the
steamship Elder, which ran aground on Ather-
field rocks short time ago, has been sus-
