THE STEAMER
Those oar Not Rescued-By Heroic
Efforts a Line Is Passed to the Vessel

MarSeilleS, January 1880 p. m.-
A message from Faraman his morn
ing reported that in spite of the heavy
e still running a life BOAT succeeded
in reaching the French steamer Rus
sic, from Oran, which stranded on
Monday on the coast neal the village
of Faraman, during a violent storm at
s a. m. o'clock, and attached a line tn
her, by which food can be furnished to
h passengers and crew. who had all
been cooped up in the ~forecastle since
Monday evening, when the vessel
stranded, and were furnishing.
There are sanguine hopes thai the
rescue of the endangered persons is
possible now hat communication with
the Russie is established. The life
line still holds good, despite the ire
seas running, but it has not
yet been possible to lake off the pas
sengers.
The attachment of the line was due
to the heroic efforts Of twenty fisher
men who attempted what appeared to
be a foolhardy task. Their fiat bottom
ed craft was tossed about like a straw
on the The spectators watched
it with bated breath. Several times
they thought h small craft was lost,
but it finally got into a current which
carried the a to the s%tarboard side
Of the Russie's bow. A line was then
thrown on board the wreck.
The captain of the Russie, standing
in the bridge, shouted: I'VE have not
lost heart, and have confidence in you,
but be quick"
A moment later, amid great excite
ment among the spectators ashore, the
line was seen to part. The fishermen
made another effort and again got the
line on board the stranded vessel.
They then returned to the beach,
where hundreds Of willing hands pulled
their boat high and dry. while a thrill
ing scene of enthusiasm ensued. The
fishermen were carried in the arms Of
the people out of reach OF the waves.
Later the line again parted, causing
much anxiety, as the sea was becoming
higher. Then the same fishermen made
another attempt to reach the Russie.
On the first attempt they were cap
sized into the surf and the men were
thrown back on the strand. They made
q fresh effort, with a few ewcomer
aiding, and the same boats crew again
succeeded in getting a line on board
the Russie. This time its security was
enhanced by h line being attached to
several RATS between the wreck and
the shore.

no questions were asked OF camping

its way. started all the fires it thought
necessary and never saw the need Of
extinguishing q fire when breaking
camp. Such carelessness, however,
has cost the state thousands of dol
lars through the loss Of timber des-
troyed by forest fires.
The state has at last taken the
matter in hand and made it necessary
that every camping party expecting
to take an outing in which 1t becomes
necessary to enter an adjoining
county. for said party to be supplied
with permit issued from the county
court which permit carries with it
several strict rules, the failure to OBJ
serve which subjects the guilty party
or parties to a severe fine or i'm
prisonment.
For the benefit of camping parties
the REcoRD publishes SO much of the
law as is necessary to put persons on
their guard. The sections quoted are:
SECTION 10. No open fires not
sufficiently guarded to prevent spread
ing shall be allowed in any forest
area in this state. and all live Goals

lates to fires and their care, and shall
be issued by the clerk Of any county
court within the state upon the pay
ment Of the sum of fifty cents as a
fee. Permits must at all times be
produced and shown to any game or
