MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED.

Captain Kimball, Of the Iife-saving
station, Asserts That the Twenty
one Men Lost in the Ariosta's
Boats Could Have Been Saved Had
They Waited for Help From the
Crew Of the Station.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2s.-The
depIorable loss of life resulting from
the wreck Of the British steamship Ar
Sosto. near Cape Hatteras, yesterday
morning, has called fresh attention to
the Efforts repeatedly made by the
Nfe-saying bureau Of the treasury de-
partment to put navigating officers Of
the vessels in possession of all irfor-
nation at hand, having for It's object
the saving of life in cases of this kind.
The following warning bearing on THE
subject, is printed in italics at the be-
ginning of descriptions of lIfe-savIng
stations:
Masters are particularly cautioned.
II they are driven ashore anywhere in
the neIghborhood of the stations espe-
clally on any Of the sandy coasts where
there is not much danger Of vessels

board until assistance arrives, and I'M

Superintendent Kimball. of the life
saving service. In speaking Of the dis
aster. said last night:
IT firmly believe that II the crew OF
the Ariosto had waited until the
breeches buoy had been put into work
ing order all the crew Of the vessel
would have been saved. This is shown
by the fact that after 1t was in opera

resulting in the rescue OF nine Of the
crew. The llfe-savlnE service is siren
uous in its efforts to assist in every way
possible in saving the lives Of those
who suffer shlpwreck on our coasts.
and the reports that are constantly re-
celved show the good work that is be-
ing done. In practiclng our crews have
thrown the hawser by which the
breeches buoy is taken aboard the
ship. dlstanceof $50 yards, or over

The report says the Arlosto was about
600 feet from the shore when she
struck. and had the men only been pa
tient and waited until the line had been
thrown. all could have been rescued. In
addition to the shore work, the regula-
,lons provide that all American steam
ers shall carry life lines and guns for
firing them, thus providing means for
communicating with the shore. This
is especially desirable and eficaeious

THE RAWLINGS OF THE POET.
During His DeIirium KipIing Want
ed TO Write.
From the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American.
New York, March 9.-An of the gossip
about the Hotel GrenobIe Is conferred about
the condition and couvalescence of Rud-
yard Kipling. The doctors, in attendance
have kept from the public many of the
incidents of the authors illness which
would be of widespread interest. 1t is
known now that Mr.. Kiping was delir-
ious for several days, and that at one
time 1t was with difficulty that he was
kept in bed. He demanded in his delirium
paper and ink and pen and insisted upon
writing. One of the curious questions that
he asked the doctors as he Law In this
helpless condition was about the fighting
at Manila. AS there had just been a fight
there, the doctors thought that Mr.. Kip
ling was rational, but soon discovered
their mistake. Mr.. Kiplings anxiety to
know something of what is going on in
the world, after being virtually out of
it for nearly a fortnight, is intense, but
the fear that he may learn of the death
of his daughter, of course. prevents the
doctors from giving him the newspapers.
He is kept informed, however, of the
most important occurrences, as a diversion
for his mind, which is now quite active.
Books are within reach, but the doctors
have already told him that his eyes are
too weak for reading, he is not permitted
u loOh dt tHStils 1O-udg the author was
moved, and for a peculiar reason. Oppo-
site the window of the room he occupied
is a red brick building. Scarcely any
thing else can be seen from the window.
During the earlier stage Of his delirium
Mr. Kipling had seen these bricks turn
into the most fantastic shapes and gra(iu-
ally resume their natural appearance, only
to change again when the delirium re-
appeared. These bricks had become an
eyesore and a nuisance, till the patient
pleaded TO be put where he could see some
thing else. He now has a view of some of
the life of the neighborhood. He can look
out upon the carriages going to the park
and on the canary-colored cable cars that
pass in front of his window. A few DAYS
more. and the terrible duty will devolve
upon some one of informing Mr.. Kipling
that since he was taken i'll his eldest
daughter has died and her body has been
incinerated.
