nine men aboard, whom her crew res
cued at sea from a big sand dredge
and scow she was towing from New

The tug ana her tow encountered n
severe blow just of the Delaware

covered that the scow was leaking. The
two men aboard signalcd the tug. and
just then the nine-inch cable parted
and the tug suddenly found herself
severed from her tow.
Immediately afterward the crew Of
seven aboard the dredge signaled that
she was losing her deck house. and
the boiler had shifted. At tremendous
risk the tug ran alongside, but owing

the men off. They were finally able
10 jump down upon the tug when the
waves lifted the barge upon their
crest. Some Of them landed on the

turing purposes. The writer was
highly pleased with this display and
observed with much satisfaction that
Il was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury 10 Singer Sew
ng-Machines for superior excellence
In design. construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
tion 10 every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction OF absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action Of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer Machines received fifty.
four distinct awards. being more than
were received by all other kinds Of
sewing machines combined.
Should ii be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
