The suffering girl seemed over

choly told the good old hermit
that this knowledge had come too
late, for on her departure from the

poison so deadly that even the In

antidote for it. She ended by say
ing that this drug was then
coursing through her veins.
Choctas and the hermit who
possessed the skill for which the
Iesuits are celebrated in treating
all known diseases, were indefatlg-
able in their efforts to relieve the
sufferer, but grief, fatigue, and poi
son were rapidly completing their
fatal work, and Alfalfa realizing that
her life was ebbing away, took
from her bosom the golden crucifiX
which she had worn at her first
meeting with Choctas, placed it in
his hand saying it was the only
treasure she possessed, that it had
been sent to her mother by her
father, Lopez. few days before
her birth, and requested him to
keep it as a souviifir of their mis-
fortunes.

Withdrew his troops without much

king. He was at last overpowered

to liberty, gave him an estate with

his sword, which Kosciusko decliu-

sigrel the estate and sent back
from London the money which he
had received Erom the EmperO,.
For when nothing remained Of all
his military glory and his patriotic

Times have enhanced his repu-

not alone to his own countrymen,
but to appreciative minds In for

His life was a series Of singular
vicissitudes. He lived in that
strong epoch which eliminated IN
the great French Revolution.
This tremendous upheaval OF So

many misfortunes and profound
sorrows to his family and himself,
and doubtless the tinge OF melan-

BILE to this fact.
When turbulence and anarchy
re;gned supreme in the land OF
his birth, he embarked tor the
United States with the desire to
discover the Northwest passage,
but also with the long cherished IN
tention of observing the modes OF
life and studying the characterls-

Crew Pumped for Their Lives-The
Captain Warned the Crew But Was
Lost Himself.
Gloucester. February 1.-The schooner
Senator Frye sailed up the harbor this
morning with flag at half mast, ana reports
a casualty at sea under peculiarly dis
tressing circumstances.
The Frye was bound homeward from New
foundland with cargo of frozen herring.
Last Saturday forenoon, when about
seventy miles off Cape BILE. heavy gale
sprang up from the southeast. PREVIOUS TO
that fair passage was being maze. Inc
gale increased, and the seas began to break
aboard the vessel.
The captain, John O'Brien, was standing
just abaft the main rigging, Watching the
storm. Suddenly he called to the crew to
be OH the alert, as ar enormous conner was
breaking down on the vessel with irresls-
tible force. The crew sprang for their lives,
and succeeded in gIasping the hallaros,
wedging themselves in between the ropes.
and gaining other places of security. LIE
great wave broke across the craft with Ire
mendous fury. Every timber qulyered al
the mighty onslaught.
Captain O'Brien sprang for place OF
safety, but he was too late. Tons OF angry
water followed him closely, grasped him IN
it's icy embrace, and bore him relentlessIy
cross the deck into the seething water.
He had shouted warning to his crew,
but had looked after his own safety last.
The same wave that carried the captain to
his doom, also claimed victim in his son,
John V. O'Brien, lad Of seventeen, Who
was standing near the wheel box. He. too,
was swept out into the sea. Father and son
struggled within sight of each other tor a
short time. and then sank.
Tho vessel, slowly freed from the noun
tain of water, gradually regained an even
keel.
The crew saw both men struggling in the
surge, but they were powerless to help, as
every effort was bent to keep the craft
above the water. Thus they sank. and the
| ice waves of Cape Sable had claimed two
| more stalwart mariners for victims.
| Capt. John O'Blien was we'll known
master mariner and had followed fishing
from this port for Il number of years. He
was quite successful and in the seasons of
| 1892 and 1898 was the only skipper to make
two successful frozen herring voyages. By
thrift and industry he had become part
owner of vessel and had a nice home on
/ Centennial avenue, where he leaves wife,
three children and mother. also three sisters
and one brother, Charles H. He was about
| forty -seven years old.
| His son. who acted as mate, was quite
prominent in musical circles, and was a
promising young man. He was ambitious,
and wanted to earn for himself and his
| father, who put him in as mate of the craft
to help him along. Several others of the
| crew also had narrow escapes.
