DEATH AT SEA.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 1T. Jen-
kins Haines, author of The Wind
TANNERS and 1.-THE Strife of the
Sea-" with his wife and the crew of
the Edna, Haines' private yacht, from
which they were rescued after the
boat became unseaworthy, arrived
here to-day on the schooner William
C. Tannar, Captain Johnson. Mr..
Haines sailed on the Edna from Ora
coke, N. c.. on Dec. Z, bound for the
West Indies and Florida on a pleasure
trip.
The yacht was struck by a hurri-
cane on Dec. which tore away all
her rigging and carried her several
hundred mile out of her course. Her
bowsprit was snapped off and the
cabin flooded. An effort was made to
reach the Bahamas, but the vessel
could not be made to cross the Gulf
Stream. her rudder having been car
ried away.
When it seemed that the entire par.
ty was lost, the Tannar was sighted.
The Edna was lost. She was valued
at $4,000.

Large Scale Small offerings Lead

Practically Lifeless-Detai OF the
Days Proceedings.

New York, Dec. 16.-The tone of the
opening stock, market to-day was heavy,
partly rejecting "a feeling of depression In
the London market "A few stocks showed
small fractional gains, but the majority
declined. Losses were small and the trad
ing was very light.
Buying orders on a rather large scale
appeared simultaneously in Sugar and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. and the success in
lifting these created a sympathetic de-
mand for kindred stocks. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Sugar rose Ia each and Lin
seed, Manhattan and Westinghouse Eiec-
trio ]. Other prominent stocks rose mod
erately. Peoria & Eastern gained 2, and
Minneapolis &: ST. Louis fell IL.
When Sugar9rea cted point the whole
list sagged to lower price level under a
dribble of stocks. Consolidated Gas. after
a decline of a point, rose q point over last
night. The trading took on a holiday tone
of apathy and dizziness. New York Cen
trail sold down a point and rallied IL on
three transactions.
Bonds were heavy at noon.
The paucty of offerings when the trad
crs realized led to some bidding UP later
in the active group and ST. Paul and Su-
gar were advanced sharply. Sugar rallied
to 125N, the highest, and ST. Paul gained a
point. Tennessee Coal and Car preferred
made a similar rise, but the market in
general was practically lifeless.

Colorado Fuel dropped III.
The stagnant demand for stocks
prompted some selling and prices receded
to the lowest. Sugar fell below last night
and gains were generally lost. Chicago,
st. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha was bid up
by stages 8 s4before a single hundred
share lot was sold. The selling movement
exhausted itself in a short time. The
closing was about steady, but trading was
intensely dull.
