seemed fascinated with the sight of the
raging waters. AS the men made a grab

Chief Steward James has snap shot
of the wave that nearly cost him his
life. He had just pressed the button when
the sea broke aboard and carried Tom"

stevedoring business at Manila, and has
for a partner Fred Macondray, formerly
purser of the transport Valencia. They
had the contract TO get the United States
cable ship Hooker off the rocks at Cor
rcgidor, but failed, and the wreck has
been abandoned.
The Hooker was formerly the Spanish
steamer Panama, but was captured soon
after the outbreak Of the war and turned
into a United States transport. She was
sent TO Manila with cable for an inter-
island service, but was wrecked. All the
cable was got out of her by Robinson

that they had been beaten good From
now on 1 think there will be little else
but guerrilla warfare. Lawton and Mac
Arthur have the island divided between
them, and Aguinaldo was in a corner
when we left. The cavalry has done
splendid service in Luzon, but there are
not enough horses down there. Uncle
Sam should send horses and not men
from this time on, as the mounted troops
will end the warfare and not the in
fantry."

minutes later the crash came. The Off

splendid discipline. and there was no

The nearIS OIL lne pT1eSIS at ldldle
were made glad by the return of over
$500 worth of valuable relics while the
Zealandia was in Manila Bay. A COM
pany of engineers drove body OF In
surgents out of a small town and there
found a lot of loot which the Filipinos
were preparing TO turn into cash. First
