Th0 Terrible Night and Day Passed On
the Northern Icobergs.
A sealing brig, immersed in tho
densest fog and driven by the gale,
was running down q narrow lane or
opening in the ice, when the shout OF
breakers ahead and the crash of the
bows upon u reef came in the same
moment. The crew sprang overheard
upon the heaving ice-held, and almost
Immediately saw their strong and
beautiful vessel sink into the ocean.
The adventure is related in: "After
Icebergs with Painter"
Without food or extra clothing the
forty men wcrc remote from all help.
To the west lay the prccipitous shores
of Cape Bonavista, and for this, the
nearest land, in single file, with Capt.
Knight at their head, the men COM
menced at sunset their dreadful and
almost hopeless march.
All night, without refreshment or
rest, they went stumbling and plung-
ing on thcir perilous way, now and
then sinking into the slush between
the ice-cal1es, and having to be drawn
out by their companions. But for their
leader and n few other bold spirits, the
party would have sunk down with IA
tigue and despair, and persisted.
At daybreal1 they were still on the
rolling ice-fclds, bcclouded with fog,
and with nothing in prospect but the
terrible cape and it's solitary chance Of
dcliverance. THIRSTY, famished and
worn, they toiled on, more and more
slowly, all the morning, all the fore
noon, all the afternoons; and then, be-
wildercd and lost in dreadful cloud
travelling along paralleEwith the, coast,
the poor fellows passed the cape with
out knowing it.
The captain looked back from time
to time on the WORKOUT and suffering
line of men, the last of them scarcely
visible in the mist, and thrill of dis
couragement passed over him. Unless
there was some change in their pros
poets, he knew that few of them would
live out another night ON the ice. They
had shouted until they were hoarse,
and looked into the endless gray until
they had no heart for, looking longer.
Suddenly, just before shutdown, they
came to a vessel. A few rods to the
right or left, and they must have
missed it. 1--WE were led by the hand
OF Providence" said Capt. Knight, in
telling the story.

considers nothing well done that he

keep time, SO he thought he would re-
pair it. He had repaired many a clock
before and had not tho least doubt of
his skill. He took all the wheels and
plnions apart and cleaned them. This
occupied tho entire evening, and when
he retired he dumped all the cogwheels
aud parts of the clock into a drawer in
his desk. The merchant is unfortunate.

been doing and thought ho would have

he had Il wheel that had been taken
from another clock and placed this in
the drawer with the other "fixinss. >"
That night the father commenced his
work of putting the separate parts to-

always had one wheel left over. The
next night he tried the problem once
more. Again he failed. For two weeks
he puzzled over his mechanical problem,
always having "a wheel left over for
which he could not account. Finally

New York Stock Market.


New YORK, Feb. 23-The shorts in
the industrials rushed to cover at the
opening OF business this morning on
advices from Washington indicating
that the Sugar schedule would be re-
vised by the Senate when the Wilson
bill comes up before it. The stock
bouaded up IA to 3O%, General Electric
rose to $685. and the other active stocks
S@1E per cent The market outside of
tne industrlals was quiet throughout,
and the net changes confined to tho
trac lions.
The dizziness excited comment in Wow
OF the developments in tho silver and
grain markets, and can be accounted for
only by the fact that operators are de-
termined to keep their hands off until
something definite is known regarding
the tariff and income tax law. Silver
broke all records again, falling to 271
pence per ounce in London. In the
local market commercial bar fell to
59% and Mexican dollars to 4S%. In
ordinary times break such as to-day's
would have turned things topsy uuryy
in Wall street The slump in London
was ascribed to liquidations by a de-
feated bull pool, who bought the me tai

would impose an import duty on silver
