ON THE WHARVES.
Two Accidents and Thrilling Rescue
Captain RolIo Adds To HIS Deeds OF
Bravery.

Bravery.
The steamship Devona was the scene
of two accidents Saturday morning, both
of which came near resulting fatally.
Some repairs were being lnadc on the
boilers of the Devona ana crew of
men from the Portland company were
sent over to the ship early in the. morn
ing to do the work.
At 9 O'Clock the tide was high and tho
Devona being light, was very high out
of water and lowered above the wharf
like house. John Nolan, an aged boiler
maker, started to crawl up ladder from
the wharf to the Devonas deck. Hs
was carrying some tools under his arm,
had on heavy overcoat, and the ROUNDS
of the ladder were covered with ice.
When he had nearly reached the deck
of the steamship Nolan lost his hold on
the ladder and fell into the water be-
tween the ship and the wharf. AS the
man went down he uttered piercing
scream and when those who happened
to be on the wharf rushed to the edge OF
the dock and looked down into the ICY
water, Nolan was seen struggling Tor
his life and making frantic efforts TO
keep his head above the water. His heavy
clothing was dragging him down to ms
death and the spectators, paralyzeu
with fear, made no move to help the
man.
Fortunately for Nolan there was man
81 lo
knew what to do under such olrcum-
stances, but who was just the man TO
act promptly. This man was Capt..
Frank Rollo, who commands the Deyona.
Capt. Rollo heard the splash when the
boiler maker went overheard and ran to
the side of the ship. He saw that mo-
ment's delay would probably result fatal
ly for Nolan. Capt. Rollo ran down the
icy ladder like a squirrel. and without
hesitation, jumped into the water. Nolan
was rendered partially unconscious by
his fall from the ladder and was sinking
when Capt Rollo grasped his coat collar.
By this time a rope was thrown over the
Deyona's side and there were six willing
seamen at the end of it. Capt. Rollo
grasped the rope with one hand and sup
ported the insensible Nolan with the 9TH
er. Another rope was thrown down TO
the two men in the water with bunt-
line on the end. This Capt. Rollo sue
ceeded in placing beneath the shoulders
of the aged boiler maker and in trice
the man was lying onsthe snow covered
wharf, half frozen, half unconscious, bnt
otherwise none the worse for his cold
bath.
Capt Rollo clung to his rope until
Nolan was in safety and was then hauled
up on board the Devona by the seamen.
When seen by a PRESS reporter Satur-
day afternoon, Capt. Rollo laughed good
naturedly when asked about his adven-
ture of the morning. 1T was nothing, }"
he said. tThe old fellow got bit wet,
that's ALL"
This was all Capt. Rollo would say. He
is q six-footer, broad of shoulder, with
a ruddy face and a pleasant smile. He
is Scotchman and does not know what
fear is. More than this, Capt. Rol1o is
a fine seaman and is very popular with
the Devona's crew. His bravery Satur-
day morning saved one life and it is not
the first person he has saved from wat
cry grave, either.

For Flowers and Vegetables.

For liquid manure in ordinary, and
every garden should be fed with it, pre-
pare barrel as for an ash leach-that is,
bore holes at one side just above the bot
tom. Place this on board sloping slight
ly, and with three grooves cut and meet
ing at the outside edge opposite to the
holes. In the barrel place four inches of
pot sherds, broken crockery, clam shells
and the like, cover with four inches of
coarse hay or straw, ard cover with leaves.
Into the barrel put chicken manure, horse
droppings, night soil, wood ashes, bones
and organic refuse, and pour over it wash
wash and dishwater A lard tub under
the footboard will catch the drippings, and
for which the plants will return their
thanks in growth One dose of this each
week will be all that is required. For
light sandy soil some make nail hole or
two in condensed milk cans, sink them
beside the plant and fill them with the
liquid once or twice a week This way is
especially good for pickle and melon vines.
An inch OF two of earth over the mass In
the barrel will prevent odors from escaping,
and sack or piece or carpet or light board
will keep out flies.
4 lady in the western part Of the State,
whose flowers in the garden and in the
eleven hanging baskets Of her porch are
the admiration OF passers by and the envy
of her neighbors, gives all the credit for
them to the manure leach she has in IA
green painted barrel hidden behind a
morning glory covered screen of chicken
wire, stretched in a semi-circle about four
poles.
When cabbages are making too rapid
grow III, pulling them just enough to loosen
the roots will prevent splitting, and yet not
stop the growing The reason in this Is
that the rapid growth favors the pushing
of the seed shoot and bursting of the head,
and this is retarded by the shock to
the plant. and the extra vigor not being
sufficient to develop the seed shoot 1t goes
to making head Cabbage growers usually
push the plant first to one side, then after
week or two push to the other.
Tying up the heads Of growing cabbage
is to induce the heart to form earlier than
it would if LETT to grow naturally. Tying
up lettuce and salad of other sorts is to
keep the heart tender and crisp, also to
blanch it.
