.SAYEDFROM DEATH
EIGHT SURVIVORS OF A WRECK
HAD FEARFUL EXPERIENCES.
ON A RAFT FOR FIVE DAYS
All the Survivors Were Terribly Emac-
eiated When They We're Res
cued.

London, November 17.--The Daily
Mails correspondent at Wellington, N.
T., telegraphs that the eight survivors
from the wreck OF the British steamer
Hlangamite, who were rescued on
raft by the British survey steamer
Penguin, went through dreadful eX-
perience. The raft on which they
were taken measured only twelve feet
long by seven feet wide, and had siX-
teen persons on it when it lett the
wreck. The ouly food aboard was two
apples. The first apple was con
sumed ON Tuesday and the second on
Wednesday, each being divided into
sixteen parts. From Sunday, the day
they were wrecked, until Thursday
when they were rescued, the surviv-
ors drifted sixty miles on the half-sub-
merged raft. Several attempts were
made to land on Three Kings islands,
but without success. Three men died
on Monday night from drinking salt
water All of the survivors suffered
the fortunes OF thirst and four other
men and the stewardess died of ex-
haustion before they were picked up
by the Penguin. They had cruel dis
appointment on Tuesday night A
steamer was sighted in the distance
and frantic shouts were raised by the
persons on the raft to attract atten-
ton. The steamer lowered a boat,
which passed within fifty yards of
them, but the boats crew apparently
did not see the raft, and returned to
their vessel.
When the Penguin was sighted only
one of the survivors was able to stand,
and all were terribly emaciated.

way SOhSSS
San Antonio, Texas, November IA
An informal opinion has come from
Attorney General Bell on the effect OF
the poll tax amendment in municipal
elections in cities authorized by char
ter to impose poll tax.
In an interview today Mayor Marsh
all Hicks gave out that in a confer

paid in addition to the State and coun~
ty before the voter would be qualified
to vote at any election. The attor-
ney general remarked that the consti-
tutional amendment provided that
every person subject to poll tax UNI
der the laws of the State of Texas
must pay the same before the list day
of February in order to be entitled to-
a vote, and that a poll tax levied by
a city authorized to do so by charter
was a roll tax levied under the laws
OF the State OF Texas. He also re-.
marked that II a case should arise
where the real or personal property OF
taxpayer has been assessed in the
same receipt as the poll tax and the
person is unable to pay the sd valor-
EN- tax upon his real or personal prop

sires to pay the poll tax only, It would

other taxes, the poll tax being given
