BowDoIN's FASTEST GUARD.
lkenuenec JouInaI. }

Walter Camp, In an article published
in Golfers Weekly, gives resume of
the football season, in which he says
that the fastest guard on the field for the
season was CIoudmAn of Bowdoin. This
is quite a compliment for Cloudman as
we'll as for Bowdoin, the statement,
coming as 1t does from one who is an au.
thority on football. Mr.. Camp also
speaks of the Bowdoin team among the
representative teams in the country ana
shows that the team scored 30 times as
many points as her opponents during the
season. This is an especially good show
Ing for the team, as 1t played both Har-
ward and Yale, and these teams were the
only ones to defeat Bowdoin during the
season.
The fact that Mr.. Camp says that
& Ioudman was the fastest man on the
considers that Cloudman holds record
OF . 90 seconds for the 1O0-yard dash, and
70 seconds for the 220-yard dash. Men
with such records as those on the track
are rare things to find on the football
field, as they rarely have the physique for
football, and II they do, they are too
much afraid OF iniuriDg their legs so
that they cannot run.
CIoudman has the physique for any
ting and Is healthy and rugged and never
gets hurt on the football Held. he Is over
6 fest in height and weighs 2l5 pounds,
when in training. A perfect figure, ath-
letieaIly built and one Of the most pow.
erful men who ever went TO BowdoiD, 1t
is certain that he was the fastsest man
on the field, last fall, and It is extremely
doubtful II there ever was faster mar
playing football.

almost needless to say that the Grew were
glad to reach land after such-a trying
experience.
Capt. Henry was Immediately sent to
Liverpool, where he took the Corinthian

She encountered strong gales from the
time she left Livsrponl until the eve of
the l2th, when, during terrific gale, her
steering gear broke. leaving her to the
mercy OF the seas, The rudder had to be
dashed to prevent its going adrifs alto
gsther. Work was at once commenced
to repair the damage done, and contin-
ned night and day. All the timel 1t was
blowing gale from the west and south
west, driving the ship to the northeast,
a long way out of her course.
About 10 O'Clock on the night Of che
l4th. the first officer, whose watch 1t was,
noticed smoke Issuing from the ventila-
tors in forward part OF the ship. Calling
the third officer, ne asked him to inyesti-
gate.
.siAs the officer started to obey there came
q terrific explosion which blew off all the
matches, AMI tower of flame and smoke
shot high into the air.
"A general alarm was at once sounded,
and az all the fire appliances were in
readiness, no time was lost in getting
water on ths flames.
1t was soon seen that there was a bad
fire to fight, and the crew was divided |,
part of them, under the direction of the
second officer and the steward, slowing
provisions and water into the boats; and
the rest under the captain, fighting the
flame.
The sulphur in the cargo had caught
almost Immediately, and the fumes were
SO sitting that it was almost impos slbie
to breath.
The men covered their mouths with wet
mufflsrs, and with ropes round their
waists, tried time and again to fight
their way into the hold. At last they
succeeded, and would plunge IN for few
minutes to be pulled out at last by theiT
comrades, 1t was oVeT two hours before
a man could stay for any length of time
In the hold, and it was sometime after

the bulkhcads had become heated red hot
and had set fire TO the goods in hold No.
2. The matches in this hold were kept
closed, SO that the fire could get no drafe,
and 1t was fought through the vsnti-
lators. parts CT which were removed for
the purpose.
For over six hours the crew worked like
demons. fighting for THAR lives. When
at last the IRE was found to be all out, a
new danger presented itself. The fire had
burned part of the cargo and caused
part of the rest to break adrlft.
This gave the ship dangerous list to
star board.
The already tired Grew were set at once
to shifting the cargo. For forty-eight
hours they worked without rest or sleep.
and 1t Is little wonder that thsy well
coined q moderation In the weather.
The steamer headed south, she then
being in 81 degrees north latitude, out of
the track Of all ahipping. For swo days

Col. Z. J. Harrison, who represents
