CAUGHT IN THE ICE.
Whaling Bark Abrarn Barker Crushed
in Floe-Capt aims Account.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 14-When the
steamer Lakme came into port this morn
ing from Pribylotf island and Dutch har-
Dor, Captain c. /. Clifford of the whaling
bark Abram Barker Was on board as a
passenger. Captain Clifford was brought
on board May Z, forty miles south of Cape
Naverin. The crew was picked up by the
whaling bark HoratiO. 1t Is not IL very
thrilling story that Captain Clifford tells
of the wreck:
''On the 9th of May" said be, 1--WE were
working through the ice on strong
breeze. The Horatio aud the Abram Bar
Der were together Naturally, working
through the ice the vessels encountered
more or less of it, We did not hit the ice
hard enough to stove IN tae ship. but some
times 1t was hard to tell what the result
would be. We went through several
drifts of heavy ice and were working
through the ice all that night.
In the morning about 4:3O o'clock we
started the pumps the same as usual and
were startled to find ten feet of water in
the hold We took of the scuttle down in
the cabin and the water was clear up to
the lower decks. The provisions were uG-
der water and our supply of fresh water
was spoiled. We signalied at once to the
Horatio and she came down To our assist
ance.
some CT The crew came aboard and we
started up the pumps TO their full capac-
ity. We pumped iii 1879 and gained only
six inches. Our steam pump gave out and
the water gained rapidly on u.s.
Under the circumstances it was deemed
advisable to hold survey and We sold the
ship right then aud there. We took our
personal effects and wentlaboard the Hora-
ito. Two hours after that the vessel sunk
in the deep sea"
Captain Clifford further explained that
the bark had no ''catch." Sne left this
port December 8, the mate taking her as
far as Honolulu, where the captain Joined
her on the 9Th OF March, On the goth of
the same month they started for the far
north.
The Abram Barker was built at Fair
Haven, Mass, in 1916. and was owned by
j. Wing of New Bedford. Little was
known by the captain regarding the opera
tions of the Behriug sea patrol fleet. The
British schooner Wanderer had been over
hauled by the Mohican and taken to Dutch
harbor.
The captain reported the catch of the
whaling feet so far as he knew a. follows:
On May 10 the Orga. two whales. Rosary
two. Mermaid one, the Jessie Ii. Freeman,
Reindeer, Alice Knowles, Horatio, Triton
and Hicks, Beluga, Hidalgo, John Win
throp, Thrasher, Belvidere, Naratch and
William Baglier were all clean. The
Maxine brought down fifty-two bundles
of hides and thirty-siX of whale bone for
the North American Commercial COM
pany.

SAVED HER LIFE.
Nervous Debility the Result Of Chronic
Catarrh.

Mrs. Dizzy A. Lewis of Independence,
No., writes: The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company-I had been afflicted
for fourteen years with nervous debility
aud chronic catarrh. / had tried three of
our best physicians, but failed to get any
relief. l have taken five bottles of Peru
ma in connection with Man-a-lu and feel
entirely well. 1 know that Pe-ru-na has
saved my life"
Depression of the nervous system from
chronic diseases of any kind is quite likely
to cause a condition of the mucous MEM
b-anes of the nose and throat so nearly
resembling catarrh that many times they
are identical. Beside the usual symptoms
of catarrh, the patient has brown specks
before his eyes. slight dizziness, roaring in
the ears, attacks OF nervous headache, pal
pitation of the heart. flashes of heat, fol-
lowed by slight, chilly sensations, faint
ness, depression, dependency, forebodingss
foolish fears, and many other symptoms.
Pe-ru-na has, again and again, been found
to be of great value in such cases. The
first dose gives prompt relief to the most
distressing symptoms. and a persistent
use of it for reasonable time Will perma-
nently cure cases of long standing.
A complete medical treatise on catarrh
and catarrhal diaeases will be sent free to
any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company of Columbus, Ohio,

make trouble for the railroad by preaching

Mr. Todd was left TO the choice of making
himself into Coxey's army or paying his
fare back to Topeka. Being on good
salary he chose the latter.
Todd was 1T first surprised, then he was
angry
He boarded the train at Kinsley and
took a comfortable seat in one of the
coaches.
When the conductor came along, Todd
took out his pucket-Dook with al easy
grace that would have made Ward Meal
lister envious From the pocket-book/he
extracted the talIsmauic paste-bOard and
passed il caSelessly over TO the conductor.
The conductor took one look at 1t, stuck
it in his pocket aud then said In hard,
linty tones: Fare, please?"
Todd looked up in surprise.
II gave you my pass" he said.
at Is no good" said the conductor in the
same cold, uufeeiing way.
WHAT" cried Todd getting to his feet
cit is no good" replied the conductor.
SIT has been cancelled. Fare. please"
Todd sank back in his seat. 1t was some
minutes before be could recover, and then
he went down in his pocket for his fare,
denouncing corporations in way that
made all his fellow passengers hold their
sides and laugh.
