MARKED ACTIVITY IN GRANGE c.aclfs,


THE past two months have seen
much activity and many lively and In

this part of the State, as we'll as else
where remarked q well informed
member Of the order Wednesday. sIf
as reports indicate" continued he, fa
similar interest prevails in other sec-
tions, the next report of the State Sec
rotary will show a marked gain in the
numbers and strength Of the order in
this State, and that, too, from those
fields that have for years had the larg-
est membership.
THE most gratifying feature about
this increase in numbers will be that
it Is largely the natural result Of the
reputation and high character Of the
work now being done by the order; and
an increased confidence, not only in the
stability of the grange, but in the pur-
poses of it's leaders. Its great value as
an educator for both young and old is
being recognized. Worthy State Mas

chance for saving the vessel To-

Third Officer Hatton, Capt. Reese will

The vessel remains in the same posi-

settled but little. although in the for
ward compartments, which are flooded
is stored the most valuable part of the
cargo. which is practically a total loss.
The Steamship Co. has arranged to
have the cargo from the steamer taken

the lighters are loaded.

nights the gales were continued and
the kairos rolled and pitched In des-
perate fashion, when furious sea dis
abled the rudder, part OF 1t was car
ried away and the weather was 80 tenn
pestuous afterwards that it was inn
possible to rig a jury rudder.
When she was rendered helpless the
ship was in lat. 1890 and not far from
the dangerous sand bars Of Sable is
land, but the prevailing winds carried
her beyond there. From one danger
she was carried towards another. The
winds and waves carried her north
ward. Captain Dunscombe soon found
his vessel moving to and fro at the will
of the elements on sea that was
thickly dotted with innumerable ice
bergs A constant watch was kept in
order to avoid collision If possible with
any of the floating monsters. After
some days a change in the wind car
ried the vessel southwark.

along on the cath and was asked for
assistance. He Immediately proceeded
to connect a hawser. The strong gale
and heavy swell caused the line to
snap. The second was made fast and
snapped. that night. The next even
ing. third was also broken. The
Brighton then signalled: We have no
more" and was of no further imme-
date assistance. After abandoneding
the kairos the Brighton headed at
once for Halifax, and Immediately on
her arrival notified the owners of the
plight of the Kairos.
Assistance will probably be sent from
this port or ST. Johns, N. F.. but is
doubtful II she can be found as the
severe gales have already carried her
far away from the position in which
she was left by the Brighton.

THE KalR0s DISABLED.
The Brighton Lost Three Lines in Effort TO
Tow Her to Port.

Halifax. n. s.. March 29-The steam
err Brighton. from Rotterdam bound TO
Baltimore. put in here, this morning,
and reported having been towing the
steamer Kairos. last Friday and Sat
usday, when all their hawsers had
broken and the Brighton was compelled
to abandon her tow. The two steamers
were then about 700 miles east of Hall
fax.
The Brighton at once headed for this
port TO report and get Lloyds to send
assistance to the Kairos, which was
on voyage from New Orleans for
Glasgow and had been disabled for
over three weeks owing to the smash
ing of her rudder. She was picked up
by the Brighton east of the Grand
Banks. drifting helplessly among a lot
of icebergs of various dimensions some
of them being very large. The Kairos
was taken in tow three times, but the
heavy weather prevailing caused the
tow lines to part and finally forcing the
Brighton to give up the task The
Kairos is commanded by Capt Duns-
combe and the Brighton by Capt. Will
liams.
The Kairos. which sailed from New
Orleans on the first of the month. had
but little favorable weather since start
ing on her voyage with a valuable gem
eral cargo. When the Brighton bore
down on her in answer to her signals
of distress she was floundering in the

crew of 80 men moving about the deck
with great difficulty and making futile
efforts to bring the ships head round
