De--fh.
New York, July 29-The steamer Mo-
hawk. with a crowd of East Side .,xcur-
sionists, was coming up the bay about
dusk last evening, when those on board
noticed a small sloop yacht with jib and
mainsail set, headed directly across the
steamers bows.
There were two persons sitting in the
sleeps stern. man and young woman.
both in yachting costume, with peaked
caps. The nan rested his left arm leisure
ly on the tiller, holding the slack Of the
main sheet in his right hand. He seemed
to be paying more attention to his COM
panion than to his boat. They were about
a mile below the Captains Pier at Bath
Eeach.
4 sharp blast from the Mohawk's whistle
awakened the young man, and put the ex-
cursionists on the alert. All was excite
mont in a moment. II seemed that the
little boat would surely be cut in two
The bows of the steamer were almost
upon her when the Mohawk's captain sig
nailed 10 stop the engine and back water.
He put his wheel hard down. and the little
yachts skipper threw her head up into the
wind. laying his craft so close alongside
the steamers glancing bows that they
rasped together.
Thele wGs d cry from the passengers as
the smaller boat careensd and shipped
heavy rolling sea-
The young woman jumped to her feet
with scream and as she did so strong
arms frcTa the deck above gTasped her by
TIE wrists and dragged her to safety. At
the same instant the head OF The s,oop FELL
of from the bigger boat, puff Ct wind
filed her sails and away she went. leaving
her pair passenger behind.
The Mohawk proceeded on her way and
the last seen Of the yachts skipper he was
hauling in his main sheet with one hand
and franticaily waving the ether. whie he
shouted at the top of his yoice. The name
Gertrude was distinguished on che yachts
stern.
The rescued young woman cried I'll he
way to the pier at East Thirty-hrst Street.
She seemed fearful that her skipper was
hurt. She was pretty, well-dre5Sed
young woG,an and had valuable tings on
her fingers, one of them a diamond en-
gagement ring
She would say nothing about herself.
but when she reached the pier she asked
to have a cab sent for, and was overheard
to tell the driver to take her to the Jer-
sey City ferry. 1t was thought likely from
this the sloop came from some place ong
the Jersey shore.

RELIGIOUS CAT BACKSLIDES.
The Sensitive Animal Refuses to AZ.
tend Prayers After Murder OF
~ Her Onspring. #

In Susquehanna, Pa, Il a household
made up OF an old man, his housekeep-
Ter and their old cat. Family prayers
are the rule each evening in the houses
hold, and the cat fell into the habit Of
regular and punctual attendance. No
other Of the cares that proverbially
crowd q cats life was ever allowed to
interfere with this religious cat. At
the signal for prayers she would even
leave a mouse half caught or give a
doomed bird a longer lease of life and
decorously compose herself in the lap
jgof the housckeeper with an air of atten-
}tion to the service that was highly edi-
Tying. At the first "amen" she went
sbriskly about her business. .:
+, But in an evil hour there came kit
ten that was deemed superfuous, and
sentence of death was pronounced upon
it. The head of the household under
took the execution of the sentence, and,
unknown to him, the cat was a witt
ness of the scene. From that day the
cat refused to attend the evening serv-
ice, and cannot now be induced to listen
to the prayers of one who has shocked
her sensibilities and murdered her Off
spring. She faithfully performs all
other duties as before, and socially
,purrs for the family on all secular oc-
casions, but rigidly draws the line on
family prayers.
