Then the little play Is over. He has
gone back to the carriage waiting for
him on the lower road, from whence, no
doubt, he had seen her. and the other
| two have turned the corner and gone
on, in ominous silence. Clare gets low
ly to her feet. That child and that
man! What a devil he is! He has
| evidently kept her in ignorance of his
| marriage, and to let her love him, not
knowing.
Again she seems to remember, and
stops suddenly, as if stabbed to the
| heart. Oh, God! What is she doing /?
Well, well. well! We must all SOW.
we must all reap, and if that girl
chooses to fling away her life, what is
it to her?
| Something, however, it must be, be-

have looked, before they sold her to the
highest bidder!
Her heart softens. Yes; she will

come to standstill, and Mrs. Alling-

The Story of the Wreck.

SAN FRANCISCO, June IA dispatch
from Mazatlan, dated May 81 states
that the steamer San Juan has arrived
there with the 81 passengers picked up
on Tuesday from the wreck OF the
steamer Colima. All the rescued are
badly bruised. They we're all picked
up from pieces of wreckage and rats.
All were ahoat lasned by the hercest
gale of years and buffeted BY the angry
seas about "a hours. When the storm
struck the steamer, the captain nad
great difficulty in keeping her head to
the sea. The wind increased and 1t Is
said to have been the fercest storm
known along this coast in twenty years.
A mighty wave, struck the ship with
such force that the beams trembled as if
she had struck bottom. This gave rise to
the first reports that the ship had
struck on a reef. AS the passengers
rushed upon the deck in panic the gale
tore parts of the deck load of lumber
from its fastening and whirled the
heavy planks about with appalling
violence. Many were struck and some
passengers were killed. A life boat
was successfully launched and filled
with passengers. Then the ship went
down and all in the other boats are
supposed to have persisted. Captain
Taylor the engineers and fremen went
down at their posts. Third Officer
Hanson who was among the saved says
that as the steamer foundered the
boilers burst. The bursting of the
boilers tore off the deck and threw part
of it over at least dozen men who
were struggling in the water, drowning
them all. Two life RATS were seen to
be afloat. The gale caught pieces OF
wreckage and beat the struggling un-
fortunates to death. There were no
hope for women or children and small
chance for men in sue. storm. At
the time of the disaster the passengers
were generally in their staterooms and
went down with the wreck. No wo-
men or children were saved. There IS
still chance of encountering more liv-
ing people from the wreck and an ex-
haustive search will be made along the
shore and among the reefs. Revised
and corrected list show that 80 of the
passengers and crew are survivors out
of total of 2l4 as given by one account
and ZIG from another source. Some OF
the survivors say the chip made no
progress, but that there was no danger
until the captain tried to put about and
got the ship into the trough of the sea,
when she went over Immediately. A
later dispatch states that raft contain
ing six persons has been picked up.
