Have you taken soundings to see
If The schooner is dry?'
"Not since you turned III sir,
said the mate in reply.
The captain ordered the
soundings taken. The line came
up wet. The hold was two
thirds full of water. The schoon-
er was leaking. The pumps
were set at work, but the water
gained. The ship was sinking
and the captain ordered the men
into the boats. With a compass,
a fog horn, a few provisions and
a can ofkoil they deserted the
schooner.
THE RESCUE COMES.
In half an hour the light at
the masthead of the Clifford set
tied, toppled to one side, swayed
back again and then was extin
guished as the ship went to the
bottom with its cargo of ore.
The men in the boat were TWEEN
ty-hve miles from land. The sea
was running high. "Pour over
the OIL said the captain, cor
we'll swamp" The oil was spill
ed outside, the waves were calm
ed, and the men bent to their
oars. After three hours hard
pulling the light Of the schooner

johnson, wa> sighted, and Cap
tain Kronhert and his seven
comrads found safety OH her
deck. Over and over again they
tell how they might have died
at their posts but for the "super-
natural voice that reused Cap
tain Kronhert.
The spot where the Clifford
sunk is about twenty-five miles
east of Ahnapee, IVES. The

WARNED BY 4 VOICE
r Remarkable Rescue of a Crew
Of Eight Men From a
Sinking Vessel.
THE CAPTAIN MYSTERIOUS
LY AWAKENED.
Capt. Kronhert, of the Schooner
Clifford, Suddenly Awakened,

Amid the snorting of tugs,

and under clouds of dense black

bed over the rail of the schooner
City Of Sheboygan last night,
seized slippery rope and slid
toward the surface of the Chica-
go river. One by one they land
ed in the bottom of a yaWl boat.
a fragile craft that, hours before,
had saved them from the fate of
the vessel they had nanned-a
place at the bottom of Lake
Michigan.
Once in the boat the men
pulled at four pairs of oars. A
few minutes later they scram
bled upon the Durham dock,
then hurried off to their homes
to tell of the widest night they
had ever seen at sea and how
their safety was due to a super>
natural vnice.
WARNED BY A VOICE.
This was the story they told
The schooner was the +. w.

hert, ladened with iron ore, and
was riding a heavy sea. Twenty
five miles off the east coast of the
lake it bore toward Fruitport
Mich. having left Escanaba be-
hind. 1t was 9 o'clock Thurs
day night, October 81. Captain
kronhert had been sleeping in
his stateroom for All hour. The
mate was in charge of the vessel
A strong wind was blowing-a
wind that came in gusts, with
now and then a sheet of rain
The night was as dark as "a
stack of black cats" There was
not light discernible except
that at the masthead of the Gift
ford.
The mate and his crew of six
men watched closely that neither
! the wind nor the wave got the
better Of them or the schooner
Everything seemed safe and they
were talking of a prosperous
trip. Unexpectedly Captain
Kronhert walked among the
men. No one could see him. II
was too. dark But they knew he
was there, for above the bowling
of the wind and the beating oil
the waves they heard him shout:
"What is it, mate2"
"What is what, sir?' inquired
the mate.
Didn't you call ne?' roared
the captain.
II did not, Sir, replied the
mate.
HEARD TUE MATE CALL.

tain. Il was asleep III my bunk

Congressional Notes

WASHINGTON, February 16.-In the
senate Senator Sherman gave notice
that he would move to go into eXecu-
tive session tomorrow on the arbitration
treaty and hoped then to get final action
on it.
The house amendments to the timber
culture bill, which covered the points
at issue, were disagreed to and a con-
ference ordered.
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire
addressed the senate in support of his
resolution declaring it the sense of the
senate that the United States tshould
not permanently acquiesce in single
gold standard. and said he earnestly
favored the resolution because he was
an advocate of bimetallism and an op-
ponent of monom e tallism, whether gold
Or silver.
The bill passed by the house grant
ing authority to sell opium seized by
collectors on Pacific coast, has been
amended by the senate committee on
finance The substitute compels re-
venue officers to destroy opium when
ever captured.

ATHENS, February 16.-Advices re

OF the foreign warships in Cretar

Canea. AS the Greek troops that were
landed at Akrotiri were not hindered
by the powers in debarking, it is con.
sidered that the powers recognize the
right of Greece to intervene in Crete
GREEKS STAND FIRM.
CANEA, February 16.-Generel Bor,
who is in command of the gendarmerie
of Canea. has formally notified Col
Vassos, commanding the Greek troops,
OF the joint occupation of Crete by the
powers. To this notification the Greek
colonel replied Il am ordered to
occupy the island, and must carry out
my orders until | receive other ipstruc-
tions" All business is Canea is sus-
pended except that of manufac turin e
collins. the demands upon whose wares
have largely increased. Fighting is
still going op, but is confined to con-
licts between Turks and Christians.
Christians hold all districts around

Cecil Rhodes ON South Africa.

LONDON, February 16.-The parlia-
mentary committee recently appointed
by the house of commons to inquire
into the cause OF the troubles in the
Transvaal, began its sittings today
Cecil Rhodes was the first witness ex-
amined. He said he was in sympathy
with the Uitlanders in their grievances,
but the object was not to overthrow
the Trausvaal government. He ad-
mitted the probability of his having
done wrong in placing DR.. jameson
with men on the frontier, but for Jane
sons invasion on the Transvaal he was
not responsible. He said the people
of the Transvaal would not cease their
agitation until they obtained their civil
rights.

The five engine has been receiving G
an overhauling for the past two days
by Oliver Dutton. For some time past
the journals on the pump have been
moved yesterday they were found to
be slightly burned, but have been
smoothed down and it is expected that
hereafter they will run all right. Dut-
ton and Mcbride worked until late last
night in trying to get the engine in
working order, but the job was more
than they anticipated. Everything
will probable be repaired this evening
and the engine will be in readiness
for emergencies. Chief Connors will
give the engine trial just as soon as
the work is finished.
