ter said that the reason why so many
of the Crary's crew died was because
they succeeded in launching boat
which was swamped and they were
in the water for some time before
they finally reached the Palmer's boat.
Capt. Potter himself had to swim for
the boat in making his escape. He
says that the first night, with the mer-
curry down near the freezing point and
the wind blowing a gale at the rate
of 80 miles an hour, three of the men
died. The fourth died the next day,
while the last became insane and
jumped overheard.
The bodies of the dead lay in the
boat until Sunday when Capt. Potter
repeated over them as mucn of the
burial service as he could remember
and the bodies We're cast into the sea.
From one corpse a pair of trousers
was removed to serve as a distress flag.
Members of the Manhassett state
that Mate Smith tried to cross the bow
of the Palmer, and miscalculated. They
said that Smith did not attempt to
save himself. He had plenty of oppor-
tunty TO escape. but he stood on the
poop deck of the Crazy, with water up
to his waist. waiting for the ship to
sink.
Neither Capt. Potter nor Captain
Eawding knew all of their crew. The
men on the Crary were shipped by the
United States commission in Philadel-
phia. Those of the Palmer were ship
ped by agents.
While the men We're in the small
boat much Of the torture experienced
was mental, especially on the first
night. The collision had occurred in
the middle of Massachusetts Bay and
both captains knew they were directly
in the course of easterly bound vessels
and steamers. Then. too, they We're
drifting sOuthwesterly down on the
course, right in the pathway of YES
sells. All on board gave a cheer when
ut 10 o'clock that night they sighted a
steamer apparently bearing down upon
them. They rowed with all their
strength and yelled with all their might
to attract attention. Soon the schooner
changed her course and passed from
view. During the remainder of the
night no fewer than three schooners
and one steamer came in sight and
later disappeared. Each time the boat
was rowed in the direction of the YES
sci seen, and the men shouted until
their lungs became sore and painful
from the exertion. On Thursday and
I Friday no shipping was seen that was
near enough to be of possible assist
ance,

A we'll defined movement on the

the city is now on foot looking to the
construction of a rifle range in this
city, which, by tne way, will do more
to accelerate the military spirit in
Brunswick than any thing else that
could be suggested.

committees will be appointed and the
preliminary work will be fully arrang-

1t is understood that the site for the
range will be donated by a generous
friend of Brunswick's military, and
the cost of building the range, in
cuding all the necessary appliances,
will not exceed $3.50.
At first the public will be asked to
contribute to the cause by a popular
subscription, and later an entertain
ment for tne benefit of the range will
be arranged for.
This is a movement in the right di-
rection and it is hoped that tne people
of the city will encourage the boys
in the matter.

Movement Is On Foot For Such An
Organization in This City.
Apropos of the recent article agitat-
ing the Civic League movement in
this city, a prominent man and erst-
while official. had something to say
upon this subject recently and his
remarks were on a line with his pol
icy in public affairs. He is very pub
lie spirited and Brunswick's streets
and squares testify to his interest
in her appearance. This gentleman
suggested that the city cooperate
WITH the ladies' who it is hoped will
form this society, and that the squares
nd blind streets snail be sodded and
tnat trees and shrubs be planted
therein; that regular walks be laid
out and the present system of cow
paths that cut up and disfgure the
squares be relegated to innocuous de
esetude. He suggests also that trop-
ical trees and plants, such as palmet-
toes, Spanish bayonets, bananas and
such be set out in these places. His
ideas are good ones and if they were
carried out the appearance of the city
would soon be greatly improved
