BURIED WIFE IN THE HOLD.
Sand Used as Ballast Was Last Home
of the Captains Spouse.

strange story of the sea comes from
Sydney. 1t is about the American ship
Senator. On March 10Th the ship left
Algoa bay, south Africa, bound in bal
last for Sydney. Capt Sutherland was
her master. With him in the ship was
his wife, who has been his companion
during the last twenty years of his sea
career
Seven days out one of those sudden
and terrific gales from the African coast
fell upon the ship. Whether the sudden
ness of the storm had any effect in pro-
dncing the sickness is not known but
shortly after the gale fell upon the ship
Capt. Sutherland was called into the
cabin to see his wife lying unconscious
from paralysis. She never regained con-
sciousness. Capt. Sutherland was con-
fronted with the double agony of know
ing that his wife was dying in the cabin
below while above and about him were
the elements striving to destroy his yes
sci. The woman died within a short
time. The thought to Capt. Sutherland
that he would have to consign the body
of his wife to the sea was one of the
most ag0nizing that he had ever expert
enced. 1t would have been impossible
10 have mustered the ships crew about
the body as it was consigned to the deep
The men We're about the vessel fighting
to save the ship and save their own lives
Capt. Sutherland decided not to bury his
wife at sea but to bury her aboard his
vessel. He was able to accomplish this
In a strange way.
While the storm was raging the ships
carpenter Il man who had been nursed
from a serious sickness by Mrs. Suther-
land, constructed a rough coffin. Out
of two-inch boards he soon had modelled
casket for his dead benefactress. This
box was calked and then covered with
several coats of pitch to make it as air.
tight as possible. Once the coffin was
finished the strange funeral was begun.
Capt. Sutherland. helped by one of his
crew, dressed and prepared the body for
its casket. Far down in the hold of the
ship. where the ballast was located. two
men were put to dig a grave. The YES
sci had taken on quantity of sand as
ballast and it was found that this SOIL
artificial as it was, would serve perfectly
as temporary place of burial until the
vessel could reach land.
When the grave was ready the coffin
was lowered. 1t had few mournerS TO
attend in person. There were many
mourners near by, but they were on the
decks above trying to save the ship from
destruction. Only Capt Sutherland and
a few of the crew descended into the YES
sells hold to attend the remarkable
funeral. The burial service was read, a
short prayer was spoken. 1t was Capt.
Sutherland who said them and then the
body was lowered into the grave and the
grave closed.
Sydney was safely reached. As soon
as possible after that port was made
Capt. Sutherland. accompanied by most
of the crew and friends ashore. attended
the remains of his wife to- final resting
place in one of the cemeteries at Sydney
where a funeral service more in keeping
with the Christian character of the won-
an was conducted by an Australian mis-
lister

The No-Breakfast Fad.

The no-breakfast fad illustrates the
fatal and foolish tendency of humanity to
go from one extreme to another. If we
have overeaten or overdrunken let us not
eat or drink at all. If we have been hogs
let us be angels. People without sense
of moderation and avoidance of extreme
ism who have gorged themselves with
animal food feel that they must be vege-
tarians. No breakfast is their latest re
action. To the do-nothings and the fuss

do no harm, but for people who work
with muscle or brain the fadsm can do
nothing but injury. 1t will perhaps end
in coffeeism and drugism, or some other
pernicious evidence of lack of balance and
control. Many Europeans make merry
or wax disguised over ''the American
breakfast, "sbut they are easily caught up
by the observation that they eat late at
night, so that in the morning the stomach
or intestineS are still filled with und-
gested and unassimiated food. Moreover.
they do not fail to pour into the stomach

Pull the Lower Jaw for whOOping Cough

Jacob Sobel gives the results of his
own experience with the paroxysms Of

lice court Brooklyn, Benjamin Steinhardt, the
complainant, obtained six summonses for witnesses
in John Doe proceedings, which will be held at 10

the provisions Of statute to neglect his duty will
fix all that.
