had been used In the Joints and other

be did while steering, this steel derang-

wheelman way off his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan e. Peck and endan-
Rered the other vessel that the wheel
man navigated subsequently. This was
what they argued, and to demonstrate
the correctness of the theory the pilot
took charge of a vessel without wear

a charm. The mystery of the Susan E.

The extraordinary upward movement
in the price Of railroad and industrial
securities is considered an evidence of
the broadening and improving of the
general business condition of the coun-
try. This movement seems to be ex-
tending to all the channels Of trade and
commerce. In conversation with men
of age and experience who have passed
through several periods Of financial
depression similar to that of the last
five years, say that real estate will next
feel the beneficial effect Of the general
business revival. We find there is a
general feeling along the seashore that
the coming season has every indication
of being very successful, and extensive
preparations are being made to that
end. We are confident that the great
combination of attractions in our own
beautiful Wildwood-by-the-Sea will
have power to draw people to this re-
sort in large numbers. Substantial and
progressive development is the watch
word and keynote Of success.

Wreck of a Steam Propeller.
I'VE are never amazed when vessels

on that treacherous water, for we ex

skipper, "but when one is grounded on
q clear day and wrecked on q course az
clear as the day In the hands of a pilot
that knows the ground like a book we
naturally wonder a little and want to
know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case Of the propeller Susan E.
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with a $40, 900 cargo.
"The captain of the Susan e. had
sailed successfully hundreds Of times
between Point Pelee and Bar point and
In all kinds Of weather, and this time
he had a wheelman who was known
from n end Of the lake to the other as
one Of the most expert navigators In
the lake business. He had been lying
up a long tite, for the very good reason
that owing 70 an accident to one of his
legs that log had to be amputated to
save his iifel The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
pilot was ready to take his post al the
wheel again.. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip Of the Susan
