A TERRIBLE VOYAGE.
Story of the Three Sailors at the Ma

ree.sailors who were mem ers of the
crew of the four masted schooner John
E. Randall, Capt. Crocker, that arrived
at Bath last Friday. after tempestuous
and dangerous voyage. They left Phila-
delphia about rs days ago, coal laden.
After passing Cape May they were
obliged to heave SO and anchor in the
lee of the northeastern lightship. They
remained there riding out the hurricane
for three days. Then they made Vine
yard Haven and were obliged to lie in
side the Handkerchief lightship for five
days.
They started to proceed on their voy-
age on Sunday morning. They encoun-
tered northeast gale, which increased
during the day and as night came had
reached terrific proportions. At 8 O'Clock
in the evening the catastrophe came
First the mizzen, then the main, then the
foresail, and then the jibs were all torn
from the mastsSand carried away in less
than five minutes Eby frightful blast.
Of course then they were at the mercy
of the waves, which were sweeping even
over the house.
The above facts were narrated to a
PRESS representative by one of the
sailors as he lay in bed at the Marine
Hospital yesterday. On that terri BILE
night after the sails were carried away,
the exertions and exposure of the sailors
were very severe. While hauling the
main sheet big sea came aboard and
banged five of the sailors about the deck
The imam mentioned above, who is a
Russian. named Laarross, was struck by
mass of the rigging and sails, swept
onward blythe wave, and was bent for
| ward over wire cable, SO that his right
leg was badly sprained at the knee, that
being the reason for his presence at the
hospital. The other two men are named
| Jacob Benson and J. Lindstrom. The
former is suffering from two badly
frozen fingers, but he will not lose either
of them. The other man is i'll from the
exposure end has kind of inufenza.
After drifting about all the night of
the catastrophe, the vessel dropped an
| Choir, the next morning, about rs miles
off Pollock Rip .Lightship. There they
remained two days endeavoring to get
some kind of sail upon the vessel. 1t
was storming all the time.
| They had an extra mainsail, an old
| one, and while trying to bend it sea
| came aboard and burst big hole in the
middle. They had to close reef the sail.
Finally shey got enough sail on to
proceed, and got outside Boston Light
and anchored. From there they sailed
to Bath, where they arrived last Friday

n n OST men are
1N1- careless about
the kind of
Stockings they wear,
buy the first thing they
see, often get the wrong
size. and oftener a sort
that's not adapted to their
requirements at all. And
yet proper stockings
have more to do with the
comfort Of a mans feet
than shoes do, and bad
stockings are quite as
responsible for bad feet
as bad shoes are.
For men whose bust
ness keeps them in doors,
in a hot office or store,
there's nothing better
than a light weight open
knitted cashmere stock
ing for ''year-round"
wearing. They absorb
the perspiration without
becoming hard, are elastic
enough to form a pad to
protect the feet from the
rough wrinkles of the
boot, are soft and easy
without losing their
shape and are warm
enough for any season.
We sell such a stocking
for 36c a pair, discount
for a box.
