The ship fought her way through
the storms of that storiniest of re-
gions into the Pacific, and at last
her anchor was dropped in Valparaiso
bay after l voyage which. south of the
line, had been prolonged far beyond her
masters expectations.
There had been no opportunity to
transfer Perez to a vessel bound for
Rio, and perforce he had been carried to
the Gillian port. On the day of our ar
rival, however, he and his companion
bade us farewell and were sent aboard a
steamer which, an hour later, bore them
out of the bay. Our parting was that
of friends who could hardly hope to
meet again. Yet it was fated that a
meeting should come, and, that. too, at
an early date.
Again the Mary Peck was blowing
the waves of the Atlantic. Favoring
breezes on the Pacific, fierce but short
lived storm off the Horn, then a half
gale which drove her at top speed along
that toughest of ocean highways such
was the story of the beginning of her
homeward voyage. But now the cape
had been rounded and the ship was
pressing northward toward warmer
attitudes and less tempestuous seas.
Everybody aft was in the best Of spir-
it's. as l well remember.
1t was evening. Mrs. Peck and were
reading in the cabin when the captain
left the deck and joined US. The hang
ing lamp showed drops of spray glisten-
ing on his cap and heavy jacket, and no
wonder, for a. strong, keen wind was
sweeping up out of the southwest, and,
though the ship was running before it,
sone could guess that her deck was far
from dry.
You two are looking CHEEKY and
homelike down here said the skipper.
II tell you, a warm cabins no bad place
on night like this. There's an edge to
this breeze that, even if we miss half
the force of it, cuts to the bone. How'd
you like to be standing watch, doctor?'
sThis is better, thank you," said l.;
'>better for the present, at least. I dare
say it won't be long before the deck
will have the preference"
Not if our luck holds. Do you be-
lieve in luck, doctor?"
Yes, most firmly" said I. The Gues-
ton recalled most unpleasantly the trib-
ulations of life on shore, which, for n
little, L had shaken Off, but to which Il
return was inevitable.
And so do To- said the skipper. sStill,
with Mary with US we can't meet any
great misfortune. Old Ocean wouldn' t
be malicious enough to build up her
health only to make her fate a ship
wreck
His eyes met his wife's for an instant;
the look on the faces of the two re-
vealed that. notwithstanding their we'd
ding day was far behind them, they
were still lovers.
Take off those wet things, DEAR
she said. Surely you can spare us a
half hour. You're not needed on deck
all the time.''
"I'll be with you in two minutes he
answered, cheerily- His hand was on
the latch of his stateroom door, when
there came a shock which almost
knocked him from his feet. A tremor
ran through the fabric of the vessel.
Then there were shouts from above

GladneSS Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, faxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slzillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

HARBoR NOTES.
The Tough Experience of the Schooner
Mary e. Hagan.

The schooner Cora e. Smith, Captain
Schofield, arrived Saturday. She was
out during the storm and had hard
time of it. About 5000 pounds of fish,
her deck load. was taken off, her main
boom broke off, and she lost her fore
sail. For ten hours the crow handled
her with the jib alone.
The schooner Uncle Joe, is in Boston
harbor. Capt. Brigham wired Harp
swell parties yesterday of his arrival
there with 16 900 pounds of fish.
The schooner Mary E. Hagan, previ-
ously reported safe, arrived Saturday
with seven boats gone, deck load taken
off and sails split They had a very
close call. The storm was something
fearful, and at last Wednesday night
they had to tie the wheel and keep be-
low. One great wave boarded them and
took away everything on the deck, and
had the men not been below they would
have gone overheard They passed
through thrilling experience and for
hours there seemed to be but slight hope
that the schooner could weather the
storm.

A DOUBLE FUNERAL.
Last Sad Rites Over Thomas Edwards and
His Daughter.

Portland has not known sadder ocoas-
ion IN many years than the double fun
eral services of the late Thomas Edwards
and his young daughter Violet, which
were held Saturday at the family resi-
dence on Pine street. The particulars Of
the TWO deaths are already we'll known
TO Portland people. Mr.. Edwards con-
tracted the fatal fever while nursing his
daughter and his death quickly followed
hers.
OWlng to the nature of the disease
which caused the deaths the bodies were
not sent to the house yesterday. There
was very large attendance at the servi-
COS which were conducted By Rev. I.
Luce IN the illness of DR.. Parsons of
CHESTNUT street. church, where for SO many
years Mr.. Edwards had been a constant
attendant. assisted by Rev. f. C. Rogers
OF zine street church. Music was fur
nlshed by quartette composed of Mrs.
White, Mrs. Goudy, Mr.. Stockbridge
and Mr.. Merrill. The floral tributes
were profuse and suberb.
The remarks of the officiating minis
tiers were very heartfelt and tender. I hey
alluded to the heaviness of the double be-
reavement that had come to the family in
SO short time, a family that had al
ways lived for each other, united and
loving home circle, now SO rudely and
painfully torn asunder. The honorary
pail bearers were Messrs. Joseph A.
Locke, IL. S. Everett, Herbert Brown
and M. W. Ripley.

1T WAS THE BOURNE.
So Says Capt. Berry, Owner of the Missing
Craft,

Chatham, March 14.-Capt. II. G. Ber-
ry of West Harwich, owner of schooner
Jonathan Bourne, was here again this
noon to see inspector McMahan regarding
his examination of the wreck on Pollock
firmly convinced that the unfortunate YES
sci which went down in the blizzard was
no other than the Bourne, as his vessel
was cen terDoard craft. and had "built"
masts with white mastheatis. correspond
Ing exactly with those seen by Inspector
Mcmahon.
A Providence dispatch to Boston pa
per, claiming that 1t could not have been
the Jonathan Bourne because the latter
was ice loaded, and therefore unsinka BILE,
does not prove anything, since the vessel
appeared to break apart as soon as she
struck the shoal.
1t is very singular coincidence that
chief mate Keefe of the Bourne was the
son Of Capt. Keefe Of the Frank Mage,
which was sunk last fall by collision only
a short distance from where the Bourne
met her fate.

BOXING MATCH.
Some Excellent Sparrers Put on the Gloves
at Thatcher Post Hall.

There was a very lively and interesting
sparring exhibition at Thatcher Post
hall Saturday evening under the mana
cement of Mr.. Stanton, and with James
McGinty as master of ceremonies.
The first 'sgo" was between Billy Con-
nors and Dennis McGovern, both of
Portland. Connors led, and did some
lively work, but if Meg overn was slower
he came up well, and it was give and
take until Connors sent his man back to
tho ropes, which operation little la ter
he repeated McGoyern got in a good
face blow at the beginning of the second
round, but Connors repaid the loan with
interest. 1t was good set-to, and both
men were freely applauded.
James Wright and Walter johnson, both
oolored, then put on the gloves. Wright
is the man who met "Terry the Mick"
a year or two ago. There was lots OF
fun while the two men were in the ring.
Johnson's odd way of reaching for
Wright called out shouts of laughter.
The set-to between Connors and MoGov-
ern was more exciting, but the Wright
and johnson "go'' was thoroughly
amusing. When Wright did manage to
reach johnson, his blows told, but COM
monty when he reached for johnson he
threw his time and efforts away
Then Tim Walsh and Joe MoDonough
gave the best exhibition of light SPAR
ring seen here for many day. Both are
Lewiston men, and are about the same
height, but Walsh is as quick as cat,
and in TACT, Joe Soule is the only Port
land man who approaches him in that
respect 1t was light sparring, but good
Walsh proved to be too quick for Mo
Donough, who is good man, and at
heavy work might reverse the position
he occupied last evening. In the last
round McDonough led, and forced the
sparring. He opened up a chance for
Walsh twice, and the opportunity was
at once improved.
The third round closed with Walsh in
the lead.
Next William Cato of Portland and
William Mahoney of Lewiston INDUCED
in pretty light sparring. Cato of course
did some good work, but Manoney is
taller, and his longer reach gave him
big advantage over the veteran, but
both were freely applauded.
Then came the event Of the evening.
the set-to between Dick O'Brion and
Patsey Reardon, both of Lewiston.
O'Brion was accompanied by his trainer,
Jack Breen. He is to spar at Kansas
City, April 9th, and has got to put in a
good deal Of hard work between this and
what will be hot fight. Reardon was
announced as ready to fight any New
England man of 100 pounds
Reardon is good man, and stood up be
fore O'Brion wonderfully well, although
of course "DiGk" didn't indulge in hard
hitting. O'Brion was in the ring large
ly for exercise, and Reardon gave him all
he wanted in some respects. Twice
O'Brion closed, and did effective work
but he was careful not to give Reardon
too many chances.
At the close Of the third round and Just
before "time'' was called Reardon got
in a good hit on the hose, and drew the
only blood of the evening. O'Brion has
got to train down IL pounds before the
coming big contest at Kansas city. Take
it all in all it WAS the best sparring ex-
hibition Portland has seen for long
time.

The hundreds of Mineral Point peo-
pie who have enjoyed the fine sing
ing of Mr.. Jas. Kober, will be pleased
to know that the people of GAINESVILLE,
among whom he is now located, have
discovered his rare talent as vocal
ist, and appreciate il. Mr.. Kober
was induced to sing at a Judd Me-
mortal Piano Concert a select musi-
cal entertainment gived in the James
vile Presbyterian church one even
ing last week, and was recognized as
a star of the occasion. Speaking of
it the Daily Recorder says:
"In the vocal solo By James Kober
there lay pleasant surprise. Mr..
Kober is comparatively a stranger to
Janesville audience but it needed
only the first few notes of his rich,
full voice in king of the Forest" to
win him high rank in musical cir
cles. His solo was one of the gems
of the evening. If it were possible to
excell his first number he certainly
accomplished it in the encore ",The
Song for Me-" which was one of the
most beautiful songs ever sung in the
city. Mrs. Il. II. Pence playedh is ac-

1 Valuable Dairying Information.

Mrs. Samuel Jacka, OF Mineral Pt.
town, recently read in paper that
If milk from the cows was mixed
with an equal number Of gallons of
cold water, all cream would rise to
the top very quickly. She tried it..
Half filling the cans with milk she
filled them to the top with cold
water. In three hours she found
heavy cream to have risen on the
cans. Removing and weighing this
cream she found it to be equal in
quality and fully as much in quantity
as that extracted from like quantity
of milk by the separator process at
the creamery. She has tested the
system several times and always with
equally satisfactorily results. BY
this method the milkings Of Sundays,
and other days when milk is not re-
ceived at the creameries, or when
persons do not wish to haul to the
creameries, the milk can be well
taken care of, the cream of the
mornings milk easily secured, the
fresh skim milk available for any de-
sired purpose, and the cans ready for
the evenings milking, all within
three or four hours. Mrs. Jacka has
proved that the cream is thoroughly
extracted, by letting the milk stand
for several hours after skimming and
finding that no more cream rises, as
well as by comparing results with
her returns from the creamery where
the best separators are used. She
wished a statement of her experience
published, that other farmers may
have the benefit of it, and test the
matter for themselves if they wish.
