death OF ROSlNA V0KES.
End of the Brilliant Career of Giftec
Actress and a Warm-Hearted
and Charitable Woman.

LONDON, Jan. 80 Miss Rosina
Vokes of the famous Vokss family is
dead. She expired at Babicombs, Tor
quay, on Saturday. Rosina, who was
the most talented of tn, family, was
born in London in 1854. She made
her debut at the age OF months in
'Mr and Mrs. Peter White" She re.
tired from the stage when she marri cd
Cecil Clay in 1877, but re entered some
years later
The Vokes family came to this coun.

and made her first appearance as star
at Days theatre four years ago.
She appeared in three different

ance and duplicated her past
success. Since then she has played in
this country every season, She was
unquestionably the cleverest one of the
Vokss family, and her loss TO the Eng.
lish-speaking stage is great loss. For
the past two years the hard work be.
gan TO tell on her, and as consequences
she cut her seasons shorter than ever.
Her last tour was closed in the middle
Of the season and she Immediately
sailed for Europe, where she thought
the change of air would benefit her,
but the news of her death today proves
that she was too far gone. She leavet
a husband, Cecil Clay, who acted as
her manager.
At the time of closing her season it
was found that Miss Vokes was a poor
woman, and that, although she had
made considerable money, she had
given to charity right and left and had
reserved none for herself In the past,
four years the books Of the company
show where she had befriended her
more unfortunate professional brothers
and sisters to the extent of $50, 900.

and II number of oars and life boats
were washed ashore.
The Port YRrrock, stranded at Keel
comm, Brandon Bay, this morning.
When she first bumped on the rocks
she was given up for lost, as she was
surrounded by a heavy surf and big
seas were continually washing over
her. a number of the fishermen of
the coast gathered on the shore and
looked on as the Port Yarrock beat to
pieces, for nothing could be done to
save the crew, AS no boat which the
fishermen possessed was capable of be-
ing launched. much less getting along.
side the stranded ship. At 10 o'clock
this morning the Port Yarrock began
breaking up. and the fate of her un
fortunate crew was sealed.
INTO THE MERCILESs SEA.
At 2 o'clock the Port Yarrock keeled
over beneath an extra heavy sea, which
struck her and carried away her main
and mizzen masts. Those of the crew
who were not washed over board were
seen climbing into the fore rigging,
where they had hardly sought refuge
when the foremost was also carried
away and all the unfortunate sailors,
including Captain Forbes, we're thrown
into the sea.
Then followed the last fights for life
upon the part of the crew. Some of
the unfortunate seamen had procured
lifeboats and others had fastened them
selves to pieces Of wreckage, which,
however only served to drown them
all the quicker, for they we're rolled
over and over by the huge seas and
drowned long before the wrecksge
washed ashore. A few Of the men
clung for a time to one of the lifeboats
though it was nearly filled with water,
but one by one they washed away and
drowned within sight of the onlookers
ashore, who could only kneel upon the
rocks and sands aud pray for the
souls of those struggling in the wild
waves for life
But ths sea was too merciless, and
not one of those unfortunate seamen
reached the shore :alive. One by one
they disappeared in the surf, and little
by little the Port Yarrock broke up
until nothing remained of the ship or
crew but black mass of wrsciage
away In the surf, almost completely
hidden by the tremendous seas which
swept over it.

A National Humiliation.

Lately an American admiral was
ordered by the Secretary of the Navy
to take command. without delay, Of
the South Atlantic squadron OF the
United States Navv, which at the
time had its headquarters at Monte
video, the capital of Uruguay.
No swift vessel Of the navy was
available for his transportation.
How, then, was the admiral to reach
Montevideo? We may suppose that
he would take the first steamer to
Montevideo But what IL there is no
American steamers plying to that
part Of the world?
That was exactly the case. The
Admiral was obliged to take this
course He went f.om Washington
to New York. and thence took an
English steamer to Southampton,
in England. Thence he took another
English steamer to Montevideo, cross
ing the Atlantic Ocean twice. in for
eign ships, to reach his post on the
same side Of the ocean!
This fact illustrates the humiliat.
ing dependence upon foreign means
of Communication which American
travellers and merchants are under.
Is it not the duty Of American law
makers to consider seriously this state
Of things. and do what they can to
remedy 1t?
