CT on tour among the vessels of the navy,
 carrying comfort and luxuries to the sailors who were giving up their vitality in steam in the iron ovens off Santiago. But it hap pened that the National Relief Commission
 wanted a boat to take supplies to Porto Ri co, and Mrs Van Rensselaer, placed the May at its service.
 The May, which had been the flagship of the New York Yacht club, was bought by
 Mrs. Van Rensselaer, of Commodore B. D.
 Morgan and transferred by her to MT. Van
 Rensselaer, shortly after their marriage last
 winter. The yacht sailed on August with
 eighty tons of supplies and the National
 Relief commissioners, MT Van Rensselaer,
 William Potter, former United States min"
 ister to Italy; L. c. Vanuxem, Dr. G. c.
 Groff and pr. c. V. R. Hodge.
 Mrs. Van Rensselaer, accompanied her
 husband, and took with her her daughter.
 Miss Minnie Fell, just back from her school in Paris, who will be presented in New York next season.
 A few days after they had left the col leotor of the port of Philadelphia suddenly | awoke to grave realization that it was all wrong, and gave a decision that the May, l having papers only as a pleasure yacht, was 1 liable to arrest for carrying freight. No- l body began prosecution, however and the l decision, which was quite remarkable under the c1rcunS tances caused more amusement than serious discussion. The May left to | return to Philadelphia, and 1t remains to be l seen whether the collector will back up his opinion.
 Mrs. Van. Rensselaer, has several smalle. l craft and a part of her fortune, as befts a | woman of her tastes, is invested in mer- chantmen Her racing yacht, Foreeda, was | sailed by her husband in the Corl thian club races in the Delaware and won one of the l prizes. With the Corinthian fleet it took | part also against the Seawanhaka in the knockabout races al Oyster bay last week. l Mrs Van Rensselaer, is a flag member of | both the New York and Corinthian clubs. Her husband who Is one of the New York Van Rensselaers, is a member of the New York Yacht club, and once sailed on cup defender in an International race Mrs. Van Rensselaer, received the intu- ries reported in Porto Rico dispatches few
 days after her arrival in Porto Rico Her
 horse slipped while fordng a stream. and
 she was thrown into the shallow water.
 There was a stone bottom, and when she
 was carried ashore it was found that she
 had received a gash on the arm. near the shoulder. The injury, however, is not se- rious one.

Mrs. Van Rensselaer, in
 the Role of War Heroine

One of the heroines of the war who hos not come through unscathed Is Mrs. Alex ander Van Rensselaer, of Philadelphia. When she returns on her yacht from south- ern waters, whither she went in the inter- est of the National Relief Commission, she will bear at least one scar as a reminder of her experience.
 As Miss Sarah Drexel, daughter of the late A. J. Drexel the mulu-millions ire banker, a correspondent writes, she was known as a fearless girl and a devoted ad- mirer of the sea- As Mrs. John R. Fell, she enjoyed to the fullest extent a penchant for yachting. And as Mrs Van Rensselaer, she has discovered fresh fields for adven ture in the Hispano-American war.
 Mrs. Van Rensselaer, is such a thorough going sea woman, and the tastes of her hus- band are in such perfect accord with her own, that when their yacht the May, was offered to carry relief to the army in Porto Rico. 1t was said that this seafaring pair would have been expected to set forth rash-

With nothing on but bis ntgbt clothes, almost drowned by the torrent of rain that was falling, with the thunder roaring and the lightning flashing, and amid scene that would strike tefror td the hearts of the stoutest men, little Jimmy began the rescue of his little brothers and sisters. He could hear the wailing of the little ones above the roar of the tempest, During the flashes of lightning he rescued them, quieted their fears with gentle voice, and led them to the barn near by fof shelter and safety. While looking after ths little ones in the barn and during the f1l terim between the roars of thunder, Jim{n3 heard the voice of his mother as if in disX tfess. Instantly he again ventured ou5 into the fury of the tempest to look for Ms mother.
 Where are you, mamma?' Jimmx shrieked; but the roar of the thundeS drowned his voice, and there was no ant swer. Finally, after searching a consider$ able time he heard a moan, and during thS lightning's flash he discovered his mothet who was lying with heavy log acrosS her breast. Jimmy took hold of the piecSs of timber and tried to move 1t, but hik strength was not sufficient
 'Be patient, mamma, Jim will get you out," he spoke assuringly. With bravA heart and a steady nerve, almost naked} with the rain pelting him and the lightning flashing and the thunder rparing, hs would not move During hls struggles tp release his mother, he spoke enoouragingly, and, like the brave little man he was, dif all in his power to quiet her fears. FinallE he secured a stake or pale, and placing F under one end of the log, and summo9tne all his childish strength, he threw the beam off her form and assisted her to the barn.
