not good and the crew found themselves
compelled TO prepare their evening meal
still many miles from their destinat ton.
This meal caused the destruction Of the
boat. The sparks from the galley cook

below eating their supper. When thew
emerged from the cabin they found the

Mr.. Ewing's death would have resulted
from blood poisoning in a few days.
Mr.. Ewing in suddenly reaching for
cigar In his vest pocket several days ago
struck his third finger Of the left hand
on the pointed lead pencil. The lead pene-
trated quite a distance under the finger
nail and snapped of short. The wound.
though exceedingly painful for the mo-
ment, was regarded as OF no consequence
by the popular Auditor and II worried him
very little that he was unable to extricate
the lead.
Later, however. the pain became so ex-
cruciating and the injured member be-
gan assuming such abnormal proportions
that Mr.. Ewing realized that blood pols-
oning was imminent. His friends advised
immediate attention and II was only with
the fullest exertion Of their persuasive
powers that Mr.. Ewing consented 10 the
operation, which proved a painful one.
DR.. Crowley had 70 slit the nail OF the
injured finger from one end 20 the other
in order 10 remove the dangerous sub
stance successfully and has given his pa
tient the assurance OF recovery.
