The Dissatisfied Frog.

There was once q frog
In little bog,
Who rose to local fame:
Whenever he sang
The ruShes rang
With praises of his name,
No frog around ~
Was as renowned an
For comeliness or size
AS that tuneful frog
In that little bog,
Or was deemed as great and wise.
And that frog was glad
OF the fame he had
Until one fatefui day
He heard other frogs
Speak of bigger boys
And he yearned to get away.
This bog" said he,
1T seems to me,
Is too small for a famous frog"
SO, upon a day
He hoped away
In search of bigger bog.
And his merry song,
AS he went along
Proclaimed his inward glee:
And it CHANGED at last
That he reached a vast
Bog jutting from the sea.
So the famous frog
From that little bog,
With a croak, plunged inland then,
Alas, Alas,
AS it came to pass,
Was never heard from again,

INTENSE ANXIETY
London Offices Thronged With Friends
Of Passengers

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Harrowing scenes
were witnessed today at the LONDON Of
flee of the Atlantic Transport Company to
which the wrecked steamer Mohegan De-
longed. A number of women TAINTED there
when the extent Of the calamity was made
known, and there was a constant stream OF
messenger boys running to and from tho
office, seeking for Information or taking
messages to anxious inQuirers. The Mo
hegan, 1t is now said, has been an 1ll-fated
vessel from the start. 1t is added that
she was only bought by the transport COM
pany when their own boats had been de-
livered to the United States government
during the war. She was formerly the
Cleopatra, Of the Wilson & Furness line,
and was bought direct from the Hull snip
yard She never ran for the Furness line
and only made one voyage out and home.
This, 1t is asserted was most unsatisfact-
ory and friends of the crew say her en-
gines were defective and that her boilers
leaked. She Is further acknowledged to
have arrived at New York in such con-
dition that she was sent home empty and
her return voyage took several weeks. dur
ing which she drifted whole day and
night owing to the trouble with her en-
gjnes.
For the past two weeks the steamer has
been in dock undergoing repairs, but the
managers say she was perfect In condi-
ton when she left port on this, her first
serted, however, that In a 24-hour trial last
week, her performances were very nsat
isfactory and the crew did not wish to go
on her on account of the previous defect
in her engines 1t Is surmised here that
the engines broke down and that the ves-
sci in the rough sea and heavy gale which
prevailed drifted on the rocks.
The reports received as to the oq,mbsr Of
survivors are contradictory at this hour.
In fact 1t Is said now that the only persons
rescued are those who have detailed their
experiences, as already cabled, and those
who were taken to Port Houstock in two
journeys which the lifeboat at that place
made to the wreck. Some OF the rescued
persons died from exhaustion after land
Ing Everything possible is being done to
secure correct Nst of the drowned and
survivors. Two of the Mohegan's boats
filled with passengers went down the chan
rel, but no news of them has since been
obtained.

He said the vessel struck forward on the
starboard bow and sank head first, her
stern rising right up IN the a1r. Moore
sprang overheard and, after swimming for
a considerable time succeeded in reaching
an empty lfeboat belonging to the steam
er. He got into the boat and started to
row for the shore. Some time afterward ne
saw one OF his shipmates, named Hilson, on
raft Hilson was exhausted and Moore
dragged him into the Efeboat. Hlson's
shoulder was badly injured. The sea was
then running heavily and the lifeboat was
nearly full OF water and. scraptng two or
three rocks, she was smashed to pieces
Moore and Hilson were washed ashore.
Swan for His Life

who says he belongs to Guilford, but had
been engaged IN farming in the United
States for ten years past, iSanother of the
survivors. He said:

acles, said IS bodies from the Mohegan
have been washed ashore there. They
have been deposited in the parish church.
A Life Savers Story
A member of the Port Houstock lifeboat
crew named James gave a graphic ac-
count of the wreck. He says that as soon
as the disaster was announced, his crew
was summoned to the boat and proceeded
TO the Manacles. They could see no Nights:
the night was pitch dark. and no rocks
were discernible, but they heard shouting
and pulled toward the spot from which
the voices came. No steamer was visible,
but the 1ifeboat came across an overturned
lifeboat. to which four or five men were
clingin6. They were taken on board the

CURED. The whole matter is not very clear
to me-"
Out of Her Course
From other sources it was learned that
the Mohegan sank about twenty minutes
after she ran on the rocks. The local sea-
men who have been questioned upon the
subject appear to be unable to explain how
the Mohegan got into such position. Later
In the morning 1t became known that an
other lifeboat had landed sixteen more Of
the survivors Of the Mohegan, and as tfe-
boats put out of number of places hopes
are expressed that the number Of survivors
may be Increased.
One OF the sixteen persons just known
to have been saved IL lady. All the sur
vivors are in ptiable condition and some
Of them have been badly injured by the
waves and rOcks and are suffering from
bruises and torn and fractured limbs
As the day wore on further reports re-
ceived here show that forty five survivors
of the Mohegan were landed at Port Hou-
stock, Cornwall, where the bodies Of five
dead persons had been recovered.
Then came the announcement that four
teen Of the crew Of the wrecked steamer
had been found alive on the rocks near the
scene Of the disaster.
One Of the passengers rescued by the Port
Houstock Efeboat says that all the assem-
gers were dining when the catastrophe oc-
Cured, although some Of the children and
those who were sick were in their hunks.
Suddenly the Mohegan struck with graf
ing noise. At first the engineers thought
this was caused by coal falling down IN the
bunkers. but second shock followed and
the vessel began to settle. A coast guards
man who was on duty at Coveract says he
noticed the Mohegan was pursuing dan
gerous course.

of the Lizard. between the Manacles anC
the Lowlands. 1t Is believed that about
l43 persons of her passengers and crew
were drowned.
The Mohegan left London for New York
on Thursday. having on board so far as can
be ascertained at present, SO passengers
and crew Of 115 officers and men.
When the steamer was seen to be In dis
tress lifeboats were sent out from shore,
and every effort was made to save the
passengers. The coast at this point is
extremely dangerous and has been the
scene of numerous wrecks. The general
opinion at present Is that the machinery
of the Mohegan became disabled during
the heavy easterly gale which was blow
ing and that she ran ashore and founN
cred. A number of tugs which put ot
from this port to the assistance Of tt
Mohegan were compelled to return With
out being able to approach the vessel
owing to the severity Of the weather.
A lifeboat landed 81 of the passengers
and crew of the Mohegan. One of the
former, woman, died after she was
brought ashore. There are rumors uncon-
flrmed as this dispatch Is sent that an
other lifeboat succeeded in saving six more
persons.
A Survivors, Story
One of the survivors, Mr.. George Maule of
New York, was interviewed after he had
sufficiently recovered to be able to tell the
story of the wreck. He said:
II am shipper Of horses employed by
the American Transport Company. We
left London on Thursday and all went
well until I o'clock yesterday evening, when
most of the passengers were at dinner.
The steamer was going at full speed and
suddenly we heard a loud crash, which
seemed to denote that we had collided with
some other vessel. But when we rushed
on deck we found that the Mohegan was
on the rocks between the Manacles and
the Lowlands, in the Vicinity of the Lizard.
ORDERS were given Immediately to lower
the boats and the crew Of the steamer be-
haved like heroes. Her captain stood on
the bridge and the greatest order prevailed
among the officers and crew.
