ANOTHER PITCHED BATTLE.

The Striking Dockers OF Hull Fought With
Dragons This Time.
LONDON, April 9.-Steamshipss Monte
bello and Romeo put out from the Hull
docks last night and anchored in the
roads. Two companies of dragons
formed on both sides of the crews about
two hours later and escorted them to the
tenders. The police tried to keep the
mob back but the strikers broke
through the lines repeatedly and began
stoning the sailors. The police swung
their clubs right and left, cracking heads
and battering faces. When the rioters
crowded up in front of the, crews to
stop their progress, the dragons beat
them back with the butts of their lances.
Several policemen and dragons were
injured with stones and about dozen
strikers were carried from the scene
hv their comrades. At the docks the
crews were placed on their tenders and
nroceeded to the Montebello and Romeo.
Both steamships sailed this morning.
A punboat has arrived today at Hull and
anchored in the roads. The Dockers at
Grimsby. Is miles southeast of Hnll, re-
solved today to handle no freight for
Hull ships which might go to Grimsby
to be loaded.
ST. amer Thames Burned.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 9.-Steamer
Thames, from Yarmouth, N. S., took fire
here last night. The fire started in the
engine room. The steamer was anchored
in mid-stream, and the harbor was frozen
over so no boats could get to her, and
the crew had to fight the flames for four
hours unaided. The steamer was gutted
amidships, the engines damaged and the
deck burned through. She had no cargo
The Thames was owned by William Ross
& Co., of London.

The Isles of shoals.

The Isles of Shoals, ten miles off the
New Hampshire coast, where, it can
be said without exaggeration, a hot
day is unknown, are nine in number:
Malaga, Duck, Smutty Nose, Apple
dore, Cedar in Maine, Star, Londoners,
Seaveys, and White in New Hamp-
shire. The dividing line runs through
the middle of the harbor to the sea On
the southerly side. These islands
were included in grant of q tract OF
land on each side of the Piscataqua
river given jointly to Sir Ferdinand
Gorges and Capt. John Mason in 1851.
In 1885, when the joint estates on the
main land were divided, neither Mason
nor Gorges wished to surrender his en-
tire interest in these valuable islands
and the group was divided between
them precisely upon the line, which
with brief interruption, has beer
maintained to the present day.

vor.
Not one of the yams remains in Salt
Lake. If any are there the writer was
unable to find them. But sea gulls are
plentiful. They do not confine them
selves. to the picturesque mountain
islands of the lake or to its pebbly and
inviting beachs, but distribute them
selves all over the wonderfully fertile
valley. They congregate in greatest
number around the plowman. AS he
turns the soil they gather the worm.
and as the worm is most delectable
article of bird food the birds and the
plowman are inseparable companions.
They perch on his shoulders and head,
plant themselves on his feet, flap their
wings in his face and are on terms OF
most intimate familiarity with him.
Yet is the Mormon farmer never an
noyed. He recalls what the gulls did
for his people in their time of deepest
distress, and gratitude makes him
tender. He would not injure the birds
for all the gold and silver imbedded in
the mountains environing Salt Lake
City, nor without protest would he
permit anyone else to hurt them.

MORMON LEGENDS.
Singular Instances Of Prov1den-
tial Preservation.
How the Latter Day Saints Were Saved
from Crickets by Sea Gulls and
from Grasshoppers by
Yams,

The announcement that legions of
black crickets an inch in length have
inv ed the vicinity of Lost Cabin.
Wyo., and are stripping the country of
vegetation, recalls the experience of
the Mormons in the Salt Lake valley
in the summer of 1848, says the Du-
buque Telegraph. In the spring of
that year, the second of the Mormon
advent, much ground was broken, seed
sown, and many irrigation bitches
dug, and there was bright promise of
abundant crops. But iIaUune crickets
similar to those now devastating Wy
oming descended in clouds from the
mountains and began devouring every
thing green. The people could do moth
ing to prevent the destruction, and as
they were more than thousand miles
from civilization and without rail-
roads, and the total humiliation of
the crops seemed inevitable, they rap
idly drifted into condition of gloomy
despair. Starvation stared them in
the face, all were anticipating a most
horrible death, and dependency was
profound and general, when suddenly
and unexpectedly relief came. Inn
nnense focks of sea gulls sailed through
the air from Great Salt lake. and,
swooping down upon the crickets, de-
voured them, and thus saved enough
of the crops to tide the Mormons over
to the next season. 1t is a legend of
the Latter Day Saints that sea gulls
were never seen in the valley before,
and they infer from this, and firmly
believe, that the appearance of the
birds just at the time their assistance
was needed to prevent the wholesale
extinction of human life was divine
interposition of Providence in behalf
of the Mormons.
The latter have yet another and
equally as interesting legend. In
1855 such of the crops as were not de-
stroyed by drought were eaten by
grasshoppers. Many domestic animals
died of starvation and food was SO
scarce that dozens of families did not
taste bread for months at a time. The
period was one Of famine. Opportune-
", when it was most imperatively
needed, species of yam, which served
for potatoes, appeared. 1t never had
been seen before and it never has been
seen since. Like the mamma vouch-
safed to the children of Israel in the
desert, It was found in abundance,
and, being succulent and nutritious, !:
