desperate battling with the elements. Tho

Capt. Brunngs declares that he never be-

In the first storm the ship was thrown
upon her beam ends. A suit OF sails was
lost, her decks were swept, the cabin flooded
and all movable gear went overheard.
The Magdolena weathered the first hurri-
cane, only to meet another on Aug. 20. This
gale gave the ship terrible drubbing,. No
one could stay on deck and sailors were
washed about. L, johnson. caught by a wave

PERILS or OUR STREETS.
DIR. Mackay Thinks the Church Should DO
Something to Make Travel Safer.

| As text for sermon on "The Perils of the
Street" preached in the Fifth Avenue
| Collegiate Church yesterday morning, the
Rev, DR.. Donald Sage Mackay had chosen
these words of the Prophet Nahum, H.. 4:
| "Ihe chariots rage in the streets. they
| joste one against another in the broad
| ways; the appearance of them is like
| torches, they run like lightnings."
DR.. Mackay called this verse "a fashlght
picture of the present day life on Broad
way" and he said that the wonder of II
was increased by the fact that the man
who wrote those words never could have
seen anything like what he pictured. II
was, DIR. Mackay said, one of those prophetic
glimpses of the future of which the Bible
is full. He then characterized the perils OF
the street as three in kind: physical, moral.
spiritual:
Some persons may think. that the, pulpit
is not the proper place to debate the physical
peril, But surely it is proper for the Church

The street offers the only chance they have
OF getting an hours fresh air and some whole
some exercise.
Dr. Mackay quoted statistics to show
that the number of traffic accidents in this
city has increased enormously in the last
few years The difference in showing
between this city and London is remarkable
he said, the number of people killed in such
accidents during the year 1901, for instance,
being only 1870 In all London, while 53s
were killed in this city. He went on to say:
Apparently those who walk on foot haye
no rights in the streets of this city. The
run1ans on the boyes. who are wholly desti-
tute of human feelings. seem to regard the
avenues OF our city as a place for them to
give free vent to their brutality. There
must be some way of bringing this state OF
affairs to an end. and none more sure than the
supports the splendid work being done by
the police at present to bring about an inn
provement
II is time for the Church to realize little
more clearly than it has done in the past
