help Of even prayer. but 1 prayed for my
wife. Then l thought of the men, and 1

Horne"
Like the engine-room the galley began
to fill, and the imprisoned engineer was
forced high up on a locker, where he
chung. Inch by inch the flood crept up to
him till only the upper part of his body
was above the incoming sea. But the
waters outside were battering and scat
tering the wreck. At last the side of the

close to Horne, who was wedged between

the shifting heavy timbers and was help
less.
Again Peacock went to his rescue, and
with the assistance of several of the
crew he was extricated from his position
They all chung to the wreck, and when
daylight came all made their way through
the breakers to the shore.
First officer Charles Schillinsky took
the helpless and almost unconscious form
of Horne on his back and literally fought
for both of their lives in the passage
through the heavy surf to the beach. It
was an heroic struggle and battle nobly
won, but 1t was in vain, for the crushed
engineer could not survive his terrible in
juries.
The officers and crew of the lost Jewel
took passage in the Noyo for home and
were again cast away almost within sight
of their destination on Duxbury Reef,
but that may be considered another story.
Horne was a native of Scotland, aged As.
and unmarried. He lived at the home of
Engineer Peacock, 412A Bryant street.
At the time Peacock landed from the
wrecked Jewel he was dressed in a few
shreds of pair of drawers and a portion
of one sleeve Of his undershirt. In this
light attire he made his way over the
rocks, his feet lacerated and bleeding,
seeking assistance for Horne, who was
then dying on me beach. When the brave
engineer reached the door of his home
yesterday morning he sat down on the
steps and cried like a chld-the first
tears from the man who had two Ship
wrecks thrust upon him.

in the water. Presently the engine was
stopped by the bursting of the steam
pipes, and the scalding vapor enveloped
the two men. They could not escape, and
Gagged in that horrible place they were
apparently doomed.
In the thunder of the waves and the
grinding of the cargo of lumber they
could hear no voices from the outside.
Some time had elapsed since the steamer
alone on the fast crumbling vessel.
Presently, violent lurch of the hulk
separated the two engineers, and Peacock
was hurled bodily through a splintered
partition into the cooks galley on to the
heated range, which burned his left Shout
der and arm severely. He had escaped
the sitting, steam-flled engine room, but
only to find himself in a dark, narrow
apartment whose space was almost all
taken up by big, hot range. Every
heave of the wreck would pitch him
against the stove. He. had jumped from
his berth clad only in undershirt and
drawers. and when driven through the
broken. partition bulkhead he had lost
most of even that scant covering.

possibly all of the three misfortunes.
They left the Jewel grinding to splinters
on the rocks to board the Noyo, only to
abandon the latter craft as she banged
and thumped on the reef later on. How
ever, it Is the common ill-luck, only this
is little more so, of folks who go down
to the sea in ships.
Louis Peacock and William Horne, en-
gineers of the Jewel. were the special
sufferers and heroes of the first disaster.
The former survived to pass again safely
through the second wreck while Horne
died from his injuries am lies in his
