Experiences of an English Mail Shin
OF the Paraceln.

Hong Kong Correspondence of the London Globe
The P. and o. steamer Kaisar-i-Hind. car
rying the English mail of September IL.
was nearly lost in typhoon off the Para
GELS OH Thursday. the 18th instant Early
that morning she encountered a strong
northeasterly gale, which rapidly increased
to hurricane force, and lasted throughout
the best part of twenty-fou hours. During
that time, Stcaming head to wind with her
engines at full strain, the ship made only
thirty-nine miles. She was often in great
danger. Huge seas swept the quarterback
aft, cutting the smoking room and the af-
ter-deck and cabins. and flooding The saloon.
The bridge was wrecked, navigation and
steering having to be done from the hurri-
cane deck. All the boats. one after anoth-
En- Were carried away. many of the davits
being snapped off like carrots; and owing
to two Of the guys breaking, the funnel at
one time threatened to fall swayng from
side to side some two feet out of the per
rerdicuar.
At the very height of the storm a huge
spanner. weighing three hundredweisht
was torn from its fasteningS near the fun
rel and fell crashing down through two
stout floors of iron grating into the fore
part of the engine room. By the greatest
coed fortune it got caught and damned lin
the debris of iron bars which it brought
DOWN just few feet above and imme-
diately over. the steam pipe. where, with
splendid promptness on the part of the
chief engineer, it was secured with ropes.
Had 1t fallen a few feet further down Il
must have cut through the steam pipe
This would, of course. have meant instant
death to every soul in the engine room and
the certain loss of the ship, rendered help
less in truly terrific sea. With her tot
terins funnel temporarily secured and the
plunging spanner made safe. she eventually
struggled through thanks to the excellence
Of her engines and the strength Il her
steering gear. Had either of these Given
out, nothing could have saved the Kalsr-i-
Hind. or any soul on board seeing that all
the boats had been washed away. She
reached Hcng-Kong in a most dilapidated
condition early on Sunday morning, the 18th
instant, thirty-six hours overdue from Sing
apore.
The Kasar-i-Hind is an old ship, but a
splendid sea boat. To some extent her sea-
going qualities helped to save her but to a
far larger extent salvation came from the
engine room. Her case was very similar to
that of the Calliope. The smallest break
down In the engines would have meant GER
tain destruction. A flaw in the shaft
rotten nut even, the least imperfection due
to dishonest work, and there would have
been another disaster to record. a disaster
as appalling as the wreck of the Bokhara
disaster like the loss of the Aden-unlike
these only in that there would have been
no survivor to tell the tale.

Terms.

Meeting of the Jockey Club
Stewards.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

| The Yale boating officials last night sent
the following reply to Cornell in regard to
the iatters letter concerning the challenge
| sent by Yale to Cornell:
| NEW HAVEN, January l3. 1898.
| Captain +. ID. Colson, Cornell University
| Crew, Ithaca, N. V
Dear Sir: 1t has beer and is our earnest
| desire that Cornell accept our invitation to
row at New London this year. and we re-
| greet that in your reply of the 18th instant a
condition is imposed which we are unable
| to accept. PAYNE WHITNEY.
Captain Yale University Crew
The condition imposed by Cornell was
that she should be allowed to select the
course for a race next year. The real
meaning of the condition was that a race
was thus insured.
The Yale News. the official undergrad
uate organ Of the university, sums up the
situation in these words:
Yale has challenged Cornell to row at
New London this spring. Cornell has &C
cepted this challenge with a condition that
practically nullifies the acceptance as it
opens up an entirely new question to dis
cusSion. The question of making an
agreement with Cornell to row next year
Is one involving vital change in Yale's
whole rowing policy. and it cannot be
easily decided. 1t must be thoroughly I'M
derStood. and undergraduate and gradu-
ate opinion must be obtained concerning
it,
Harvard challenged Cornell. the date and
place to be named later, and Cornell &C
cepted with the same phraseology.
1t only remains. then, for the two colleges
to decide upon a pace. Harvard will row
Cornell. If she has to go to Ithaca to do
1t. Harvard is bound to beat Cornell. il
1T takes a dozen years and trip around
the world.
ITHACA, N. Y, January 14.-Yale's reply
disappearing of Corne,rs conditional ac-
certance Of Yale's challenge TO row at
New London this year received by
Capt. Coison today. Capt. Colson and
Prof Benjamin 1. Wheeler would say moth

HE HELPS THE pLINNER-
The House Rat Eats Quantities of
Lend Pipe md CrcnIcn Sewer a.us

From the Kansas city star
one of the most persistent and destruct-
i've assistants the plumber has is the house
rat. A rat can eat odt plumbing as fast
~ an average honest man can pay for il.
10 rat a greasy lead pipe is toothsome
moroccan When hungry rat forsakes thu
barn and finds his way into the cellar OF q
house. and thence up through the walls TO
the space between the floors. the first thing
he tackles is the grease on the outside of a
lead waste pipe. If he finds other food
siortly' thereafter he spares the pipe. 9TH
eiwise he eats the pipe and the water es-
capes through to the ceiling below and
runs the plaster. The plumber is sent for
and repairs the leak but h. doesn't tell
what caused IL.
once upon a time rat was hoist by his
own petard, so to speak. lie got into a
house and found his way TO a lead mine, or,
which he tried his teeth. Ii was pleasant
chewing and put fine edge on his teeth
so he continued. Soon he had eaten a large.
hole i'm the pipe and stream OF scaldins
water poured forth. Before he could es-
cape he had been Scalded to death to sav
nothing of being drowned But he had tbs,
satisfaction of knowing that he had ruined
line ceiling, and that the carpet under
meath it had been soaked full of lime water
j mere Is no great loss without some small
gain.
Just to show what they could do, some
rats once ate fifty feet of lead pipe under
Il bath room and over the kitchen Of a hi,
motel in this city. The floor of the bath
room was marble and under il was a fire
proof floor made of iron beams and hollow
Tiles The pipes We're laid in the space be-
tween the floor and the sirde's. Rats wer.
attracted thereto by the odors from tho
hltchen. They met the lead pipes When
their appetites were satisfied the space Was
TILED with lead dust.
RATS ike to eat drain pipes from kitchen
SINKS, because they are lined with grease
ne only way to keep them away is To pack
the pipes with mineral wool. Mineral wool
Is a substance made Of furnace sla..
through which a jet of air has been fore. A
whlie Il cooled. The mineral wool gets into
the eyes OF the rats and drives them away
Modern plumbers discourage rats by laying
iron instead of lead pipes.
RATS, strange to say, are great breeders
CT sewer gas. They gather up bones and
scraps of meat about the kitchen yard and
carry them up into the alters between
floors and ceilings. The presence of this
plunder is sooner or later discovered by the
odor, and the plumber is sent for to dis
cover whence the sewer gas comes 1t is
not always well to tell the householder the
truth.
Thus it is the humble brown house rat
helps his friend. the plumber earn an hon
est livelihood. and the plumber thanks him
in his own gentle way.
