PERILS OF THE DEEP SEA
EXPERIENCES OF THE CREW OF THE
STEAMER RUTHERGLEN.
At the Mercy of Mountainous Waves
for Days and Saved from Their
FOundering Ship with Difficulty.

QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 15.-Particulars
shave just been received of the wreck of the
British steamer Rutherglen, Captain Eng
fish. from New York on Oct 20 for Ply
mouth which, as cabled Saturday last,
foundered when $50 miles west of Fastnet
Her crew was picked up by the Norwegian
bark Hermanos and reached Crookhaven,
twenty-one miles from Skibbereen. on Sat
urday. The Rutherglen, it is added, after
leaving New York encountered a series of
gales which raised mountainous seas The
steamer labored so heavily that her cargo
shifted. but the crew was able to right her
for a time until she was thrown upon her
beam ends, when her cargo shifted and she
listed so much that her sails, set to steady
her. were sometimes submerged. Matters
went from bad to worse until Tuesday. The
steamer was filing with water when she
was sighted by the Hermanos which vessel
Immediately headed towards her. 1t was
decided to abandon the Rutherglen, and
Captain English tried II lower away a life
boat. Two lifeboats Re smashed against
the steamers side andewashed away before
any success attended his efforts. The third
lifeboat succe eded in getting away from the
steamer but was stove in and sank just as
it ran alongside the bark Happily, all the
struggling men were hauled on board the
Hermanos, and were subsequently, with the
rest of the crew, landed at Crookhaven,
from which place they forwarded to this
city. The boats of the Hermanos made five
trips before all the members of the Ruther-
gIen'S crew were rescued. Some idea of the
difficulty of this task may be gathered from
the fact that it took nine hours to rescue
all the crew of the British steamer. The lat
ter numbered twenty-eight men in all.
Captain English reports that on the
Wednesday after leaving New York an
eaSt-bound Hamburg steamer, with a green,
white and green funnel, was asked to take
off the crew Of the Rutherglen, but refused
even to stop. The Hermanos was outward
bound to Martinique but she was obliged

NEW YORK HORSE SHOW.
Fairly Well PatrOnixed by Members of
Society, Who Come Late.

NEW YORK Nov. 15.-The entertainment
on the first night of the thirteenth annual
exhibit of the New York horse show opened
with parade of stations, which was wit
messed by very few, indeed, of the society
folks hereabouts. While the animals were
being led to their quarters the boxes began
to fill with late corners, and there were
about three hundred people in the first tier
of boxes when the saddle horses began their
performances. There were twenty-six thor
oughbreds in this class, and they looked
extremely pretty as they were put through
their PAGES. The gentler sex was represent
ed among the riders by Mrs. Beach and
Miss Belle Beach. They were the center of
attraction as they gracefully mounted their
brown PAGERS. Both were attired in the
simplest of riding gowns, with low-crowned
derby hats and stand-up collars. Mrs.
Beach rode the prize winner Milady, and
Miss Beach rode Warwick. Both were ex-
hfbited by Mrs. j. De FORREST .DanielSon,
of Boston.
AS the night advanced, and despite the
inclemency of the weather without, the
garden finally took on a horse-show aspect,
and the show of 1897 was saved from a So
cial failure. In the opinion of the experts
who have attended other horse shows it
was Good-nay, a brilliant opening night,
which became more gratifying because it
was so late in taking form. The might at
tendance, at the lowest estimate, reached
five thousand people. The high steppers
and the hurdle jumpers were seen at their
best before the days exhibition came to
close.
There are those who regard this as the
crucial year of the show. 1t is claimed
that society, which for SO many years has
made the show part of vanity fair, has
tired of it, 1t is fact that the sale of
boxes fell off a good deal, and people who
last year could not have obtained a box at
any price are this year box holders. The
n "a nf
seats in the first tier. There the receipts
fell off some $4,000 from last year. 1t is
said that those members of society who
will grace the show with their presence in
the main will keep away from the boxes.
The opinion held of the value of the boxes,
either from a financial or social standpoint,
may be best judged from the fact that the
boxes were sold at such a low figure as $75
for the entire week.

VICTORIA, Il. c.. Nov. 1.-THE German
war ship Falka, which was dispatched from
Australia on receipt of the news of the
murder of the trader Won Hagen, returned
recently from Germany, New Guinea, hav-
ing grimly avenged the savagery of the ma
tives. The Falka steamed directly to the
village in which the murderers of the late
acting governor were known to be secreted
and, without a word of parley. opened fire
with artilery. This so terrified the natives
that they at once carried into Stephens
Port. the German capital the two Solomon
island boys wanted for the murder who
had broken from the imprisonment imposed
for the killing two years ago of the Ger
man explorer Ehlars and his party. The
FallIa continued to shell the village, despite
this conci.iatOry measure, and left no build
ing standing.
