THE FREDERICK'S ROUGH VOYAGE
Thrilling Experience of the Passengers Off
Cape HatteraS.

The passengers of the Merchants ana
Miners steamer Frederick, which sail
ed from Baltimore a week ago yester-
day and encountered the storm which
swept the coast the next few days. are
returning South. Some of them came
by rail and the others left Baltimore
yesterday on the Lexington.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed O'Connor and Miss
Agnes Golden were among the Savan-
nah passengers on the Frederick The
vessel had been out a day and a half
and was approaching Cape Hatteras
when one of the steam cylinders burst,
disabling the engines and putting the
ship at the mercy of the sea. A Bal
timore account of the Frederick's mis-
fortunes, from the American, says:
"Floundering about at sea off Cape
Hatteras in hurricane, with engines
disabled, lee shore in sight and the
Stars and Stripes set upside down at
the masthead, was the experience of
twenty-odd passengers that left Balti-
more Tuesday, Sept. Is, on the Mer-
chants and Miners liner Frederick for
Savannah.
The Frederick was scheduled to
leave port at l o'clock in the afternoon,
but the passengers were told that she
would not sail until about O'Clock. and
1t was $3.50 O'Clock before she left Bal
timore. The superintendent of machin-
cry sailed with the vessel. She stop
ped in the bay that night for atten-
ton to the engines and did not pass
out Cape Henry to sea until noon We'd
nesday.
While approaching Cape Hatteras
the vessel slowed down until she was
making but about four knots an hour.
1t was then announced that the largest
of the three steam cylinders had burst
its head. The ship kept on, and when
ten miles below Diamond Shoal light
ship, at II o'cloclS Thursday, the skies
became overcast and the barometer be-
gan falling rapidly. A stiff breeze
sprung up from the southeast. The
high winds and seas were setting the
craft in toward shore as the bursted
cylinder head had deprived the ship of
the power necessary to keep her off
shore. She fell off into the trough of
the seas now and then, rolling violently.
Makeshift Repairs.
Both anchors were let go and the
ship was stopped for four hours to
make repairs. Heavy timbers were
bolted and dashed down on the cylin-
der head and braced with upright tim
bars to the floor and engine room sky
light of the hurricane deck above. The
passengers were at work assisting tbs
engineers in the carpentering work
This makeshift sufficed to hold the
cylinder head for time, but every
time the piston rod went up or down
the hurr icane deck and skylght lifted
with it. The wind was soon blowing
great guns from the southeast at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, accom-
panied by a high sea that prevented

gle drops, no larger than the tiny
globules of dew; as the ponderous earth
is but the aggregate of the innumerable
particles, microscopic in their small
ness; as the wisdom of the ages is but
the result of the few scraps of knowl-
edge gained by each humble searcher
after truth; so our life is but the grand
product of our every act and thought.
Each day, each hour, each deed, each
thought is but a fraction of our life,
and life is the sum total of all these
parts. If we would learn to make our
lives a beautiful mosaic and not
mere crazy quilt, then we should pray
that we may learn to number our days
and apply our hearts to wisdom.
The address closed with an earnest
exhortation to watch over the little
things of life, the every act, the every
thought. If the moments are watched
the days viii take care of themselves
and life will work out as beautiful
pattern. The lesson of numbering our
days must be learned and the heart
must be applied to wisdom"
B'nai Birth Jacob Synagogue.
Services were held at Synagogue
B'Nai Birth Jacob on New Years
Eve and also yesterday morning. At
both services large congregations were
in attendance and elaborate ceremonies
We're used. The exercises consisted
mainly of the ritualistic ceremonies OF
the synagogue, the prescribed customs
of the orthodox Hebrews being followed
out closely and without deviation. At
the service on New Years Eve short
but fitting address was made by Rabbi
Horowitz, in which he called attention
to the solemnity of the time and the
duties which fell upon all as they went
forth into the new year.
The address yesterday morning dealt
on the thoughts that spring up with
the opening of the new year, with all
it's opportunities, with all its RESPONSE
bilities. These should all be faced with
out Sinking and through whatever
trials and troubles and sorrows come
upon the people, they were exhorted to
hold fast to the faith and traditions OF
Israel and her glorious history.
The Rosh Hoshannah closed with the
setting of the sun last night and toward
s o'clock the usual signs of activity
were again apparent. There were no
services last night, the next service of
the holy days being held on Sabbath
eve, Friday next. These days are in
preparat ton for Yom Kippur, the Day
of Atonement, the most solemnly sig
nifcant of all Jewish holidays.

AT THE THEATER

Tomorrow. matinee and night, the
Irish comedians, Murray and Mack
will present "a Night on Broadway"
So many musical comedies are built
without rhyme or reason, that the pub
lie in general have about come to the
conclusion that the only makeup is the
stereotyped string of vaudeville acts,
number of choruses and an opening
and closing speech.
Murray and Mack, realizing this state
of affairs, cast about for comedy
that would have an original plot, and
dialogue that would not necessitate the
Introduction of either a chorus of young
women or a number of vaudeville acts
to make it a success. In the new edi-
ton of "A Night On Broadway" they
found just what they were looking for.
The cast numbers fifty odd people.
Every member has been engaged for
his particular fitness for the roll. Seats
are now on sale. The matinee prices
are: Orchestra, SOC; balcony, adults,
soc; children CSC admission. Regular
prices at night.

the passion of an adventures, and the
tender memory of a dead mother OF
the past of the Governor of Arkansas,

Rosh Hoshannah, the Hebrew New
Year, was strictly observed yesterday
as holiday by both the orthodox and
liberal Hebrews. Services were held
in the morning at the Synagogue
Miclva Israel and at B'Nai B'Rith
Jacob, and both were ATTENDED by
large congregations.
The observance of the holiday was
especially noticeable in the business
section. The holiday was passed by
the members of both congregations
mingling with and joy among them
selves and the holding of informal re-
ceptions. The homes of the raools
we're thronged with callers throughout
the day and the ties binding pastor
and congregation together were I'M
measureably strengthened.
The morning services were held at
10 o'clock in the synagogues and con-
sisted of the reading of the rltual
service for Rosh Hoshannah and me
delivering of the New Years sermon.
Following the benediction with which
the services were dismissed, the people
held receptions at the different homes
throughout the city, and the New
Year was ushered in with hospitality
and merriment. The soemnity of the
occasion was exemplified in the morn
ing services. .
