TALES FROM THE
FANNIE KERR

on Wednesday May 2S, the barque
was on its way to San Francisco from
New Zealand with a fun cargo of coal
The weather was squally and rainy and
the barque not making particularly fast
time. The weather aboard the vessel
was sultry although not noticeably so
under ordinary circumstances. Early
in the morning third mate Gibbons no.
ticed smoke coming from the ventila-
tors and reporting it to the first mate
the coal was known to be on fire The
ship was still in mid seas and the eX-
tent of the fire beneath their feet could
only be guessed at. 1t may readily be
conceived how imagination ran riot
among the crew. The hull was steel
and there, was no danger of the fire
burning through unless plates We're
warped and bent apart by the heat.
The men were i'm a trap, on the lid of
stove, a steel trap somewhere in
which a fire was steadily burning and
gases generating that might at any mo-
ment burst the decks with the eXplo-
sions of a miniature volcano. There
was no escape possible in the small
boats, just capable of holding the crew.
Land was far away however and con-
trary winds and Gains might mean a
miserable death still buffeted about out
of sight of land. 1t might be days be-
fore another vessel might come along
on their track, days perhaps after their
hull had gone to the bottom. The coal
aboard was known to be of a particu-
larly dangerous nature.
with the captain lay the anxiety of
duty to the owners and the lives under
his authority to be saved. Explosions
might occur and cut off the only ave-
rue of escape in the boats, but as long

the only man in Louisiana; who
has built a large refinery, from a

Of his property and enjoying the
prosperity which is the fruit OF

Light and Warer Works.

Friday next, the 18th inst. will
take place the special election to
vote for or against the proposed
special tax of five mills for 80
years for the purpose of building
an electric light and water works
plant.
1t is not necessary for rs to go
into details as We are certain
that the tax will be carried, as
there is very little opposition. if
any at all. Our people realize the
need of both, and particularly the
water protection against fire; the
insurance rates are simply prohi-
bitive, as we have some sections of
this town paying insurance at the
rate Of seven and a quarter per
cent. St. Martinville is seriously
in need of a good water works sys-
tenn to protect it against the dan
gers of fire, and we also need cleo
trio light, and when we say we are
going to have them, we believe we
voice the popular sentiment of our
people.
We shall carry the tax.
