"As we put to sea-" says Captain
Younghusband in his book on Japan,
1--WE passed a sunken steamer, the An
glia, and afterward heard the CHASTITY
story of her loss. She touched sand
bank, heeled over and capsized in q
few seconds but the water was not
deep. and one side of her remained
above. The majority of the passengers
and crew got off in boats or on floating
spars, but a few were caught below
in her cabins.
1--WE have often read of martyrs of
old, who were tied to posts in the sea
and left to drown by inches with the
rising tide. Imagine. then. the fate
of these poor fellows. The portfolios
were just large enough for a man to
put his head through. but no more.
The ship was of iron. and to enlarge
the holes in the time available was an
impossibility though an attempt was
made with cold chisels. The boats
from another ship came alongside and
handed food and drink to the doomed
men and gave them such encourage
ment as was possible.
"But the tide rose inch by inch. and
at last the time arrived when it seemed
better for all that the boats should
leave, for to remain was but to pro-
long the agony on both sides. Some Of
the imprisoned cursed and foamed at
the mouth with anguish. Some prayed.
Some, in the cold sweat of despair. be-
sought the boats crews to shoot them
boats slipped away. The tide rose.
and the last shreks of the dying men
sank into the sigh of the rising waves"

That they never would return
To this Kansas land Internal,
Where the hot winds blast and burn
Where the rivers run in riot
When they want it to be dry
Where the sun so flercely scorches
When they want n cloudy sky.
So they loaded up the children,
And they whistled for the dogs;
Tied a cow behind the wagon,
To the butcher sold the hogs;
Eitched the ponies to the schooner,
Turned the Prov toward the east,
