Brunswick, Ca. May 2o.-News of the
appointment of Rev. Ed. F. Cook as chan
lain of the First Regiment, Georgia volun-
teers' was received with a shock bv
Brunswickians to-day. There is no one
here that is not pleased with the appoint.
ment' but many regret sincerely his Ieav-
ing this field of pastoral duty.
Presiding Elder Whiting has promised
to supply the vacancy with the best min
lister at his disposal. Mr.. Cook VIII leave
Saturday morning.
ReV. Mr. Cook, who is to be chaplain
OF the First Regiment was a private in
the ranks and chaplain of the Brunswick
I'IueHeh. Col Narnadoe at that time
commanding the Fourth Regiment learn
ed that Mr.. Cook had volunteered vgitc
the company. He wrote him that it would
De a pleasure to issue him an honora Bile
ulseharge on account of his pastoral du-
ties. Mr.. Cook replied that a discharge
would not be acceptable and he intended
to go with the Riflemen Col. Varnadoe
then wrote Capt. Ernest Dart, command
ing the R5fiemen, and forbid the enlist
ment of Mr.. Cook. When this became
known the brave young preacher wrote
S'' -NthNAti|otl iilolStlllS OH his right TO 90
TO the front with his company In some
manner the influence of the church peo-
pie was then brought strongly to bear and
Mr. Cooks ambition was frustrated.
Nothing more was thought of his going
until the news of his appointment as chap
lain of the First Regiment was given out.
The fact that the private volunteered as
a private and received an appointment
equal to a lieutenancy reflects great credit
upon him.
The farewell service to Rev. Cook was
attended tonight by over 500 people. The
Methodist Church, in which this service
was held, could not hold the people. The
Marine Band gave Mr. Cook parting SER
enade after the church service.

SAD STORY OF THE SEA.
An American Sailors Longing to Die
at Home Unqualified.

at Home Unqualified.
Brunswick, Ga, May 20-The Portu-
guese brig Herbert, which arrived yester-
day from the Cape Verde Islands brought
a story of distress at sea of more than
unusual interest. The regular passage
over only takes thirty days ordinarily.
On board were three destitute Amerl-
can seamen. One of them was dying of
consumption in the marine hospi-
tai on the islands. He wanted 70
die on American soil and the con-
sui shipped him via the Herbert
When near American soil the dying man
rallied and it was believed he would hold
out and have his burial as desired. When
about 100 miles off shore a terrific gale
caught the Herbert and she was blown
hundreds of miles off her course. For
twenty-five days after the gale subsidized
a calm followed and the Herbert barely
moved. The seamans hopes sank and he
died before land was reached.
When the vessel reached Brunswick yes
terday she was short of stores. During
the calm when provisions ran short the
crew fished daily, but could not get a bite
The day the Herbert caught a breeze the
fish began to bite and this food helped out
the stores on board until port was reached.
