Their Annua1 Event.

The annual outing and games of the
Anchor Social Club was beid Yesterday al

interesting day. There was lots Of amuse-
rnent and no limit to the fun makers. The

The o,sting was the second IN the An
chor's history, and the members had no
trouble in dtsposing of the tickets for
this years event, as all who were present
and remembered the fun of last year

after midday, and after the usual meal
PECAN their sports which were married
by rain. but We're all carried out neverthe-
less. They were made IN of lively conn
petitions end were made the more In
terestlng because Of the competition of
trre of skill and endurance that was
lacking In some. In no race was there a
walk over, and in each field event there
were more than two that succeeded IN
making a close fight for the honors. One
OF the funny Incidents was the trick
played upon John Powell. the Secretary
Of the organization. He competed in
hearty at dinner, and his food and ath-
iotlc exercises did not mix well, con-
sequently- Powell was soon very much
~lEdlSposed. He sat under a tree, and
after feeling relieved, fell asleep. He
sbumbered ~soundly.. and taking advan-
rage OF this several of his friends got a
rope and tied him fast 70 the tree. He
was left in the position until after sup
per, when he was aroused only TO fand him
self a captive. The Secretary was mad
clear through to think he had lost the
biggest portion of his dinner, and then
been made TO lose his supper He finally
prevailed upo the host TO fix him right.

Lose-A Brave Mao Perishes with Her
Captain.
The fate Of the tanker Wild Flower.
which left Pnllsdelphia December IL

doubt, although the impression prevails
that she has gone down with all on board
The story that she was burned of the
Irish coast 10 not credited, however, as
she would hardly be in that locality at
that time.
In the probable loss Of the vessel thero
may perish one OF the bravest mariners
in the person Of Captain Stan we'll. Cap
tain Stanwell, while in command OF the
Wild Flower, saved the North German
Lloyd steamer Ems from going TO the
bottom OF the sea ia March, 1894 The
Ems was bound for New York with
500 passengers when she was caught
In a fierce gale and the end of her rud-
der was carried away. She was in.
danger of laundering when the little
Wild Flower, with brave Captain Stan
well. came Rong The captain OF the
Ems saw the Wild Flower and signallsd,
Don't leave me, and the reply was sent
back, mot while l have & pound OF
coal"
The Wild Flower succeeded, after
much dangerous labor, in getting q
hswser made fast to the big steamer,
although 1t parted four times Captain
stanwell brought the Eas into New
York, and he received 800, 900 salvage
for the work. Captain Stanwell received
gold medal from the German Emperor
and another from Queen Victoria.
