A Frfghtful Fate.

GAS 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 q sand
bank, heeled over and capsiZed in a
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
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 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
ere they left. Sadly and silently the
boats slipped away. The tide rose,
and the last shrieks of the dying men
sank into the sigh of the rising waves"
