Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE British
bark Andelina, 1856 tons, of Nova SEQ
tia. CAPTAIN G. W. Stating, sank in
twenty-five fathoms of water in front
of the st. Paul mill wharf, and the cap
tain, mate and fifteen of the crew were
drowned. No one witnessed the acci-
dent. as it occurred during the night.
The vessel came four days ago in
ballast from Shanghai. The ballast
had been discharged and the ship was
lying at anchor, waiting to be lowed
into the dock.
Last night a terrific gale ragged on the
bay, the wind blowing thirty-siX miles
per hour Two great boom logs We're
placed on each side of the Andellna-
During the gale, between 2 and this
morning, one of the logs went adrl1t,
causing the ship to careen and TO cap
size, with very little warning to the
crew.
The vessel was entirely without bal
last and the matches were open. All on
board were caught like rats in a trap
and had no chance to escape. The snip
simply careened over, the water flowed
in the open matches and she sank. With
daylight this morning the Adelina was
missed. Where she had been riding ap-
parently securely at dusk the night
before, there showed but a blank
stretch of water. The wreckage winch
strewed the bay told the vessels fate.
A large number of the crew were dis
charged yesterday, or the loss OF life
would have been far more appalling
The ship was to have commenced TAX
ing on a cargo of wheat for Queenstown
today and was to receive further or
ders.
Captain Stating lived in Annapolis,
Nova Scotia, and leaves wife and
three children. He is we'll known in
this port. The Andelina left New York
May 8 last, for Shanghai, carrying case
oil. and arrived there Oct. 9. She reach
ed this port less than a week ago to
load wheat for Eppinger & Co. of San
Francisco for export to England.
She was built at Workington, North
England, in 1889. was owned by E. f.
and w Roberts of Liverpool and was
rated 4 1 by LIoyds. Her dimensions
were: Length, 300 feet; beam, 42 feet;

One day, perhaps a year ago, my

me q package of Postum Food Coffee,
and requested that l MAKE a very care

Realizing the importance, | gave it
my especial attention in preparation,
and when it was served, il exceeded
our expectations. 1t came to the table
steaming with a delicious aroma, and
the first taste convinced me that had
found the long-sought beverage.

only to find them worthless mixtures

we could not use in our own family,

have his patients use them, but with
Postum it is different. 1 occasionally

enough is allowed in boiling to bring

he takes pleasure in prescribing Pos

found that coffee acts iniurously,

deranged digestion These symptoms,
he says. in still more aggravated

When we first began to usa Postum
we INDUCED in some meTrimeut at the

was not long, however, before We

CRUISER ALBANY LAUNCHED
AMERICAN WARsHIP BUILT BY
ENGLISH FIRM.
Anglo American Sentiments Ex-
pressed By Those Who Took Part
Superiority of English Guns.

Newcastle, Eng, Jan. 1.-THE Unit
ed States cruiser Albany was success
fully launched this afternoon in the
presence of Naval Attache Lieutenant
Colwell and many other Americans.
The Albany was christened by Mrs.
Colwell. Sir Andrew Noble, vice chair
man of Sir w. c. Armstrong & Co.,
Limited, proposed success to the YES
sci, and in doing SO regretted the alb
sence of the United States charge
d'affaires, Henry White, who. however,
telegraphed, wishing the Albany a. sue
cessful career as sister ship of the New
Orleans, which, MIR. White added, has
given great satisfaction to her officers
and crew.
Sir Andrew Noble added that it would
be a pleasure for the whole country to
know that the vessel was built here for
the United States, because everything
tending to chosen the ties between Great
Britain and the United States must be
a source of pleasure to every English
man."
Continuing, the vice chairman re-
marked: The Americans must be
proud of the qualities exhibited by their
navy during the war recently closed.
The same qualities of pluck and dash
the British navy has invariably dis
played The Americans conducted the
war without theatrical display. waiting
patiently until their plans had properly
matured."
Lieutenant Colweil. in responding,
said that the guns on the New Orleans
were admittedly better than any of the
American guns on the same model.
Chairman Taylor OF the American So
ciety toasted the Elswick builders. He
said: Americans could not blush to
be of Anglo-SaXon blood. When the
American and British nations are joined
back to back they can defy the world
and, marching shoulder TO shoulder, q
great blessing to civilization will be as
sured.'
