Enjoys The Lakes.

George E. Evans, who came
here from New Brighton, Pa,
about six weeks ago for the bene-
fit of his health, went down to
Gambler about week ago where
he has been having a big time
fishing and hunting around the
beautiful lakes that dot that COM
munity. He came up to town on
Saturday looking much improved.
He expressed himself as being de-
lighted with the people and coun-
try around Gambler and declared
that he would remain there for
some time. He visited some
friends here yesterday and left
for Gambler in the afternoon.

ChiIdren's Lawn Party.

The primary department of the
Methodist Sunday School, through
the kindness and liberality of the
teacher, Mrs. f. P. Gaffney held
a most delightful lawn party on
Saturday afternoon on the
grounds adjoining the church.
About fifty of the little folks as
sembled and spent the time romp-
ing over the grass and playing
pleasant games. Elegant refresh
ments were served to which it is
needless to say all did ample JUS
tice.
A very interesting part of the
exercises was the opening of a
number of mite boxes in which
the children had been collecting
money with which to purchase
new chairs for the infant class
room. The total sum amounted
to S6.45 of which Oscar Hilburn
had the most $1.25 and little Irma
Blake came next with S1.20.

Yesterday at The Springs.

Prof. O'Dell gave another bal
loon ascension and parachute
leap at Silver Springs Yesterday
afternoon as advertised. The
parachute leapswas double one
and caused a great deal of mirth
among the spectators; the "other
fellow" being q pig, not figura-
lively but literally. A nice,
plump ''porker" of about fifty
pounds was taken up by the Sec
ond parachute and as he bade
farewell to Mother Earth he ut
tered a series of vigorous squeals,
which were kept up until out of
hearing. When about thous-
and feet high Mr.. O'Dell cut the
pigs parachute loose, which des-
cended gracefully to the ground a
hundred yards from the starting
point. Mr.. O'Dell going much
higher when he, too, turned loose
and made good descent. The
balloonist's assistant jumped
from the tower into the Springs
as Mr.. O'Dell had done on sever
al occasions. A good crowd
went out on the S. s. & w. Ry.
to witness the feats.

all the services. The pulpit was
most beautifully decorated with
a profusion of lilies, roses and
magnolia blossoms that filled the
room with q delicious fragrance.
The morning sermon was pre-
ceded with two very fine an
thems by the quartette choir,
consisting of George Nash, Will
Dale, Mrs. j. w. Sylvester and
Mrs. j. e. Oates. A most inter-
csting sermon was then preached
by Rev. j. L. Rodgers, of Jack
sonville. His theme was "Con-
secrationo and his text from Ro-
mans IL Chap. and first verse: "I
bescech you, therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God that ye
present your bodies a living sac
rifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service" +"
During the service five came for
ward and offered themselves as
candidates for membership, two
by letter and three by baptism.
In the afternoon the young
people held very profitable and

dinance of believers baptism was
administered to four converts.
METHODIST CHURCH.
Very beautiful Easter services
were held at the Methodist
church yesterday, the large seat
ing capacity being entirely taken
up by the members and visitors.
The ladies ON Saturday afternoon
had decorated the space about
the pulpit and choir's corner in a
very beautiful and tasty manner
with evergreens, palms and flow
ers with the emblem "He is
Risen worked in green leaves on
the wall in the rear of the pulpit.
The pulpit and sacramental table
and organ were loaded with
profusion of most fragrant and
lovely flowers. These with the
beautiful Easter hats and dresses
of the ladies made very pleas
ing sight on which the eye loved
to linger.
Rev. Hilburn, the pastor,
preached grand sermon on the
Resurrection and the life to come
in which he brought conspicuous
ly before the audience our duty to
bear witness for Him who is
risen.
GRACE P. E. CHURCH.
Easter services were held at II
"a. m. by Rev. G. M. Gray, rector,
at which time he delivered q very
forcible sermon on the Resurrec-
tion, after which the sacrament
of the holy communion was adj
ministered; baptismal services
being held at 1890 q. m.
In the afternoon at o'clock
the Sunday-school services were
held, the superintendent, w. L.
Jewett, officiating.
There were no services at night
on account of Mr. Gray going to
Orange Lake on his regular visi-
tatiOn.
The church was filed at both
services and the chancel was very
elaborately decorated with rare
and beautiful flowers. The last

shore to look for the other boats or any
race of wreckage from them, but found
nothing. Then on Sunday missionary
named Swartout came in with the as
founding information that the vessel we
had watched disappear, as we supposed
beneath the waves, was resting in Bar
clay Sound apparently not much the worse
Tor her adventure.
''The ship was on a fairly even keel,
slightly listed to starboard, the water in
side reaching perhaps a little above the
lower hold. She was in a good position
and did not appear to be a hopeless
wreck. 1t was decided that | should 90

for there in a canoe with six Indians.
The distance was about twelve miles"

his sails in an effort to save the lives Of
those under his care and the vessel which
had been entrusted to him. There was
bi. blow on at the time and monster sea
were running, making 1t no easy matter
TO handle the old steamer.
Despite her age. she was a good sea-
boat and Captain Hall hoped to get near
enough TO Cape Flattery TO communicate
with the shore and have assistance sent
to him, or to fall in with one of the fleet
OF tugs which hover around the en- trance
to the straits waiting for a tow. In this
he was disappointed. AS he approached
the entrance to the straits the wilma in
creased in fury, swervng around TO the
southeast. The ships position at sea had
been perilous enough. 1t now became
ever more dangerous.
The storm was blowing the vessel direct
~ upon the southwes tern coast of Van
couver Island, where so many marine
disasters have occurred. She was even
then pretty well out at sea and the wind
too, kept them away from the CarmaDah
and Cane BeaIe lighthouse, but it took
them directly toward Barclay Sound.
Had it been daylight and fine weather
this would have been fortunate for them,
for once in the sound there are many
places of shelter.
But the night was pitch dark, and there
was bowling storm still from the sout h.
east. This was Thursday nisht. Even
here in Victoria, projected on ali sides by
high mountains, the wind played havoc
and the rain came down in sheets. 1t
can therefore be understood what the
Cleveland, out IN the open ocean and ex-
posed to the full fury of the wind and
seas, had to contend with. The officers
had no way of telling just where they
were, but they all realized they were in
danger of losing their ship and their lives
as we'll.
Thy were slowly being drifted toward
the rocky point ich guards the western
entrance to Barclay Sound, running out
from which is Starlight Reef. There is a
good channel between this reef and the
group OF islands In the center of the

sound, but the Cleveland was unfortunate
enough to be driven in among the islands
forming the reef. Some idea of what
marine men think of this vicinity can be
gathered from the names they have given
to places in the neighborhood, there be-
ing ugly Channel and Wreck Bay."
Shortly after midnight on Friday the
officers found that their vessel was along
side Starlight Reef and that they were
not more than $50 feet from it. On all
sides there were small islands over which
the surf was breaking and there was not
one but thought the vessel must strike.
If she did she would soon be enguIfod and
nobody could hope TO live in such a sea.
on such night, and in such place.
The order was given to take to the
boats. 1t would have been better had the
order never been given, for miracuIouslv
the vessel worked Eer way thr ugh the
rect and struck in place where the
water was comparatively smooth.
They left the old Cleveland, never ex-
pectlng to see her again, and in The four
liieboats they pushed out into the sea
amid darkness that must have made the
bravest among them quake. l. was a
chance, as they thought, for their lives.
The boats were in command of Captain
Hall, First Officer Durfee, Second Mate
Anderson and Third Mate Melvin.
Before the boats left the steamer a few
provisions were placed in them. Later on
the same day box of biscuits was picked
up at the entrance to Uclulett Arm and
still another box was found on the beach
further north, both of the same make as
those used by the Cleveland; pillow also
teionCing to the steamer was found.
None OF the boats nor part of them were
found, so 1t IL probable that they sank 1t
was 2 A. NJ. when the boats left the vessel,
and two hours later when the captains
made ALpha passage and succeeded in
making landing. Tn remained on the
beach until daylight when they located
the Indian village of Uclulett and were
taken in and cared for by the storekeeper
at that place, John Markowitz.

feel sure that they saw US enter the pass,
but the sea ran so high that they proba-
bly, came to the conclusion that we had
gone to the bottom and were afraid to
attempt what we accomplished. There
had been no plans before this as to any
definite point to be made, but one of the
sailors had talked a good deal of a place
called Schooner Cove, some twenty miles
away, which he thought was the next
place where we could gain safety. 1t is
possible that if they decided not to at
tempt Alpha Passage the other boats
made for Schooner Cove. If thev
have not reached there, am afraid they
have gone to the bottom. 1t was about
II o'clock on Friday morning when we
landed on Round Island, the storm of
wind and rain showing no abatement. so
that we were glad to accept the shelter
offered US by a man we found resident
there.
"We remained until Sunday, the
weather being too bad for US to attempt
to get away. From time to time, by day
and by night, we would go out along the

make way through it. We were in some
doubt as to whether we were understood
and three times | fired my revolver TO
attract the other boats attention if posi-
bic so that they might follow if we sue
ceeded. We entered the pass, perhaps a
quarter of mile wide, driving our boat
into raging sea, which would shoot up
against the sides of the pass so time and
time again to hide the land. The pass
age, however. was successfully made,
and in the comparatively quiet water in
side we lay to and waited for the other
boats to appear. We stayed for an hour
until ABOUT 10 o'clock. but saw nothing of
