THE cAcoNNA's EXPERIENCE.
The Second Mate Came Near Being
Washed Overheard.

| The handsome coal steamer, the Cscon-
no, arrived here yesterday morning after
about the toughest experience Capt.
| Weyland, her commander, has ever expe-
rienced. The steamship is painted black
and is rather rakish looking craft,
but when she got into the harbor yester-
day morning it would have been diff
| cult thing for anyone to tell what color
she was painted. She was completely
| incased in glistening ice, while her tall
stack was white with coating of salt
from the spray which had reached it dur
ing the stormy passage.
| On Sunday the Caoonna sailed from
Louisburgawithss a.kcargo of coal for the
Grand Trunk. On Monday afternoon she
poked herfSnose EintoIa terrific blizzard
and gale. From that time out the officers
and crew of the Caconna chad about all
they wanted to attend to. So fierce
grew the sea that the Caconna was
brought up into the wind and lay to for
hours on stretch. Sea after sea boarded
the sstaunch steamer and one of them
smashed a boat into kindling wood,
while heavy iron plates and rails were
bentTand twisted by the force of the ter
ribless waves
The second mate oughtsto be about the
most thankful man on the steamer for
on Monday night hescame as near go
ing to ''Davy Jones" locker as over
man did The second mate was attend
ing to the lashings of the forward hatch.
while the. Caconna was being buffeted by
the tremendous sea- He looked up just in
time to sea..a big comber breaking over
the steamers bows and sweeping along
towards him with terrible speed. The
second mate thought his last day had
come, but he sprang for the ladder lead
ing up to the hurricanesdecklan and no soon
er had he grasped it than the wave
struck him. He lost his mold on the lad
der and was carried along towards the
ships side by the food, but brought up
against the rail with great shock and
chung there until the danger was past.
Capt. Weyland and all of the crew
were glad to reach port in safety.
The Caconna Will discharge her cargo
of 1913 tons of coal at the Grand Trunk
az soon as there is chance for her at the
dock and she will then sail for Savan-
nah, Ga, to load hard pine for Louis
burg.

social NtstaRes.

Perhaps the greatest of all social mistakes is to be
continually talking about oneself. There is word
in all the vocabulary of conversation tedious to
others that personal pronoun "I'' Though
of the smallest in use, there is that takes up
room in the everyday world. . is a bore. 1t
better not to mention his oftener than be
avoided Another social follyis "gush." There isan
insincere ring about it. True, there people who
sure, yet they should remember that amable
first but leaving doubtful in the mouth after
ward.
On the other hand, there is acertan class of people
in society who equally foolish in going to the
other extreme They feign indifference about every
body and everything, seldom expressing either nte-
rest admiration They think it { bad form" to
show any pleasure in life and sign of superiority to
be incapable of enthusiasm social folly is to
imagine that people always looking at or think
ing of you Such ideas often the osprngs of con-
ceit AS matter Of fact the people very often look
at you withouts seeing or thinking of you They have
other things to think Of If we could only convince
ourselves that not always the pivot of our
friends and acquaintance thoughts there would be
fewer hurt feelings and imaginary grievances
