But the Passengers Discovered That Fact
In Roundabout Way.
1t must be about ten years since l was
returning to this country from New
York on board one of the Anchor line
boats. We left quite early in the morn
ing, and were steaming down the bay
in high hopes of pleasant trip. We
soon got into a thick fog, and after
passing Sandy Hook at about quarter
speed the ship ran aground. The ma
jority of the passengers, however, knew
nothing of our plight, for the propeller
kept ON churning up the water in fran
tic efforts to get the vessel Off the mud,
and the fog was so dense that very few
people noticed we were not making
Roadway.
The captain dispatched his first officer
to Sandy Hook to telegraph the position
of affairs to the agents, but as the en-
gines were still kept going no one sus-
pected that anything unusual had &C.
Cured.
Presently the boat returned, but no
questions were asked, and no one seem
ed to have the idea that there was any
need to ask them.
Two or three hours passed, and an
ocean tug came alongside out of the fog.
Newsboys came on board to sell their
papers, and did good business "Ex-
trar Extrar - was their cry, and these
"extrars' contained on the front page
full and graphic account of the strand
ing of the very liner on which they
were disposing of them

answered an officer. upon which the
passenger ran to the side of the vessel
and looked over in order to convince
| himself
The news now, Of course, began 10
spread all over the ship, but il was too
much for everybody when a quarter of
an hour later a stout old gentleman
sprang up from his seat and yelled.
