"You may ask what business shir
has inside its jaws. Wei. none at all;
for IL is not a port, nor is there any
port near for which it can be mis-
taken. But accidents happen. and
once in fifty years or so nm unfortunate

is all over with her and long

a sea carried away the ruddcr OF
the Unicorn and that's how she came
into the bay.

over her, and tons of water rushed up
her weather side and swept her decks.

on the shore soon saw she had more
people aboard than crew. She had

gers, and there she lay, heeling over
more and more every sea that struck
her, and hammcring herself to pieces
on the hard sand.
Get out her boats? They might as
well try to get out the main beam! She
was smothered in water, and the first
half dozen seas swept everything off
her decks = boats, caboose, harness
casks. water-butts, and stove in lot of
her windward bulwarlts.
WAS there no lifeboat ashore? Yes;
and as fine fisherman crew as ever
pulled into the teeth of gale. Three
times that lifeboat was launched.
Bless you. it was blown back like an
empty bladder.
"They had rocket apparatus ashore
bent back like coachman's whip, and
two fell half way. l tell you tits a
hard thing for strong and willing men
to fold their arms while human beings
are perishing before their eyes.
after a bit those on the shore heard
a sound like the report of distant can

broken. She burst in two amidships,
the mainmast fell over the side to lee

gan waving, one this way and the other
that way. like u crazy man swinging
his arms above his head.
"All on the shore knew what was
going to happen now. The broken wa
ter, which had been white and boiling,
grew black and heavy with human
FORMS and soon cargo and bodies began
to come ashore.
"When this happened it was growing
dusk BY night the wind had fallen to
breeze. Sixteen living and fifty-seven
dead had come ashore. The living
were taken up to the village of Mynhin.
and the dead, men, women and chill

One young coastguard was set to tend
the fires and watch the dead, while
every other person old enough and
strong enough was engaged in saving
and securing the cargo.
ITO his dying day that coastguard
who watched by the dead will never
forget the night AS the clothes of the
victims dried they began to stir in the
breeze. Scores of times he thought he
saw leg or an arm or head raised.
Scores of times he thought he heard a
cry. BY midnight the young man was
half dead with terror
After midnight the moon began to
blink through torn sky, and the
young man thought he must have com.

salvage were good way off. He was
at the fire furthest frcm the workers.
He stopped and picked up few pieces
of wood, and mendec the fire SO that it
might be all right while he was gone
to fetch company. When finished with
the fire and before rising from his
crouching posture, he glanced over his
shoulder down the long, CHASTITY line
of the dead. A change had taken
place in that line. He turned his head
further round and saw standing over
him Il human tigure-the figure of a
woman-the figure of one of the dead

away from Mynhin in few days. This

LONDON, July "a special cabinet
meeting was summoned in Downing
street this afternoon. There was full
attendance. Frances demand on Siam
was discussed AT length and eventually
instructions for the Marquis Of Duifcrin.
British ambassador to France, were form
ulated and approved. Immediately after
the meeting. Earl Roseberry, secretary OF
state for foreign affairs, communicated
with the admiralty as regards the DISPOSE
ton Of the feet in Asiatic waters. Late
in tho afternoon special orders were dis
patched by the adm iralty to Vice Admiral
Tremantle, commander in chief OF tho
Chinese division. These facts, together
with tho sudden canccling Of the Marquis
of Dufferin's leave of absence, Is regarded
as hardly in harmony with the official
predictions Of q perfectly nmicable settle
ment with France of the Siamese din.

Of France, the government is believed to

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Comptroller Ec-
cles sent dispatch to the national bank
examiner at Denver to-day, In which he
says: II wish you would announce to tho
officers of the banks which have failed in
Denver that my intention is to lend them
every aid possible looking toward speedy
resumption OH their part, and that shall
grant them sufficient time to enable them
TO collect such amounts as are speedily
cotlectablc, and get together such
amounts as will enable them 10 open on
a small basis
The comptroller advises citizens who
havo foolishly brought about the crisis by
Withdrawing funds, to do tho best they
can toward repairing the damage by re-
dcpositinG. He authorizes the examiner
to employ assistance in collecting money
to the end in view. and has ordered Exam
incr McHugh of Iowa to assist him. Speak
ing OF the matter, he said the failures were
not the fault of the bank officials. but a
foolish lack Of confidence Oh the part OF
depositors. In all such cases he would
help the failed banks 10 resume.

New YORK. July D.-Tho nervous feel.

said to he duo largely to the uncertainty
regarding tho identity OF some corpora
ton in behalf of which application was
made yesterday in tho United States cir
cult court for the appointment OF n re-

the applicant. BY direction of Judge
Brown, the papers, In accordance with tho
request OF the counsel on both sides. were
kept private, 30 that tho name Of the en-
barassed company was not TO be divulced.
This action Of Judge Brown was visor-
ously condemned in financial circles to-
day. II resulted in tho names Of several
prominent companies being suggested as
the ono concerned and, in at least one
case, serious decline in the price of the
stock of one OF those companies resulted
therefrom.

there for cash In order that this week 3

which received the applications forwarded
the necessary currency. II Is probable
that some banks in this city will adopt
some method this week to avail them
selves Of their credit balances in Phila-
