Vessels Miraculous Escape.

Captain Hayes. of the schooner Ad-
miral Dewey, which arrived recently
at Gloucester, Mass, from the arcuc,
says he had a very narrow escape
from being crushed Iy n mammoth Ice
berg. Captain Hayes went as far
north as latitude fifty-nine In the Da-
Wis Straits. He says such fields of ice
and icebergs rarely have been seen by
Gloucester fishermen. Some OF the
bcrgs were of tremendous size.
on the night of July %, according to
his story, while the vessel was at an
chor and the crew were below in their
barths. the vessel was struck by an
enormous wall OF ice, which was
about 100 feet long and $50 feet wide.
The impact Of the ice was so great
that the sleeping crew were thrown
violently from their berths to the floor.
The crew mustered hastily on deck,
and every effort was put forth TO res
cue the vessel. Wind and tide forced
the ice on the vessel. and there was im-
mincnt danger that it might disintc-
crate in huge masses and crush vessel
and crew. At dawn the anchor was
cut and the vessel freed.

time. After the operation, the patient
was In precarious condition, but raj
lied well and, on the 26th. was trans
ferred to the United States Military
Hospital at Iloilo, where be is now
progressing fayorably.
THE injury was Of a peculiar char.
acter. The leg evidently was seized
about four inches above the knee
joint, the soft tissues bitten down to
the bone and torn away at the joint
The edges OF the wound were Jagged,
showing fairly well the shape OF the
sharks teeth. The lower third OF the
femur was entirely exposed. as clean
as II the flesh had been dissected away.
"Ihe accident was witnessed 10y sew
cral men and, although no shark was
seen, there can be no doubt that the
injury was inflicted by a shark for
the following reasons: After being
drawn under and coming TO the sur
face the man cried out shark! Shark!
lie states now that he has not a clear
recollection Of what occurred. that he
felt a sudden pain in his leg and was
drawn down. on his left thumb and
index finger were two small trianSu-
lar shaped wounds, just the shape that
the points Of n sharks teeth would
make. He evidently, on being seized,
thrust his hands down in his efforts
10 free himself and caught his fingers
on the sharks teeth. Sharks have
been seen in the same locality by the
natives, and one Of the latter stated
that native was caught there three
months before. There are no other
fish in these waters that could infict
such an injury except a shark.
After the accident efforts were
made to catch the shark, but they
were not successful"

Snycd IIs Genernps Life.

Instances Of personal heroism on TN
battlefield are not rare, but the recent
act OF a young Jewish artillcrist in a
Russian regiment displays a spirit OF
SELF sacrifice and bravery that is unu-
ual in times OF peace.
At the recent annual artillery prac-
tice at Rcmbertoyo a young Jewish
artlllcrist noticed that one Of the guns
had been trained on the place where
the staff was assembled.
He hardly had time to give warning
when he saw the spark of the gun, and
In order TO save the life of the general
standing close to him, threw himself
against him ana knocked him over.
The generals life was saved, but the
Jewish hero was pierced by the can
ron ball.
The funeral was one of the most I'M
posing ever seen in Warsaw. All the
officers and several regiments followed
the body to the grave, where the gen
cral whose life had been saved deliv-
