for him and he owned up that his wife's
suspicious were pretty well grounded.

SEVERE GALES ABROAD.
Many Wrecks on the British Channel
md North Sea.

Exceptionally heavy weather which has
prevailed during the past week over the
British Isles continues. There have been
numberless small wrecks reported and con-
siderable damage has been done to ship
ping, but the loss of life has been small.
The lightship at the mouth of the river
Dee was blown away this morning with ner
crew of five men.
The telegraph lines in the northern part
of the country have been damaged and
communication is Interrupted
The gale is very violent over the North
sea. and 1t is feared that the number of
wrecks will be considerably added to.
dispatch from Antwerp says that traf-
fic in the streets of that city has been
stopped and that navigation of the Schcldt
is impossible. The Red Star line steamer
Friesland was. however. able to leave for
New York. Several ships were ashore on
the Dutch coast and the German bark
Libertas, from Kotka. has been wrecked
near Nieuwediep. Only two of her crew
We're saved the remainder being drowned
after the bark was driven ashore, where
she soon became total loss. The bodies
of four members of her crew have been
washed ashore.
