SUGAR KEPT THE SHIP GOING.

The British steamship FOreland,
which arrived here yesterday from
Java, experienced an eVentful passage,
toward the close of which her crew and
officers We're greeted by Admiral Dewey
in his famous cruiser Olympia. During
the passage, one week before Alden was
reached, the coal supply became eX-
hausted and in order to keep up steam
it was necessary to feed the furnaces
with woodwork stripped from the cabin
and forecastle interior, and eighty tons
Of sugar had to be used also as fuel.
After leaving Java the Foreland met
with successive headwinds and sea, and
her fuel, which was of an inferior quail
ity, would not generate steam unless
used in large quantities. Soon her bun
ker supply diminished until heroic
measures had to be resorted to.-Phila-
delphia Press.

laughing, adding: Il never met an
English sailor who could speak an
other tongue than his own, but he's no
need to, for the first language a native
shopkeeper learns in any foreign port
is English. The Spectator.
