Once clear of land she was in raging
gale. The sea swept over her decks,

made to bring her about, but she re-
fu sed to answer the helm, and those
aboard feared for time that she would

Every man in the crew was called to

about and after two hours was back in

was not asleep for As hours, and is al

that the ship was constantly under
water and that the gale was the worst
he ever was in. One of the crew stated
that he made up his mind the vessel
would plunge into sea and go down.
The vessel is leaking badly, and will
be surveyed tomorrow. Any vessel
that was off the cape last night must
have been seaworthy to ride the storm.
Several large steamers, reported over

ever we are undoubtedly much
more fortunate than the average

island county feel the pinching
pangs of poverty. While the cities
all over the world are full of ''soup

One point regarding the boring the tree clear to the center or heart of the tree. It is well known fact that all our large trees, of whatever kind, are very prone to be hollow, or have some kind of heart rot. The admission of air or of any foreign substance will increase this rot and the tree will all the sooner blow over or split. A hole or better several, at different heights and on opp posite sides, if two holes are bored, would give free circulation four to six inches deep. I doubt the entire efficacy of sulphur alone, for my father, the late A. c. Bullard, a we'll known landscape architect and horticulturist, tried sulphur for many of the enemies of deciduos trees and often told me that there was more theory than actual worth, except for some kinds of borers or insects that
