COURTESY At SEA.
An Impressive Experiences When
Ships Exchange salutatlons.


The passing of two vessels Within
speaking distance in mid-ocean Is al
ways an impressive experience. Even
the most Indifferent Of travellers must
feel a thrill at the exchange OF salu-
tations in such circumstances. The
account of such meeting, told by
sailor on the United States training
ship Hartford, and reported in the
New York Tribune, is of more than
ordinary interest. The Hartford,
Farragut's old flagship, was ten days
out from Madeira Supper was over

of the full moon, when full-rigged
ship was sighted, every stitch Of can.

in the Hartford's wake, but the
thickening evening haze soon hid her
from view.
Presently the watch officer cried
out, II saw a white light flash from
where the ship ought to be-"
We thought it might be the glisten
of the moon on her sails; but 1t ap-

Probably the crew were short of wa

steamer, or the vessel might have

The great ship swung slowly about
and bore down upon the stranger.
Gradually the two vessels drew to-
gether until the lights shone clear
and the outlines were we'll defined.
Now the order rang out, quick and
distinct:
Stand by to clear the lifeboat;
make ready to lower!"
The approaching VESSEL was now
close to our port bow, but we heard
no hail.

Our ship struck up the German ma

were returned with good will by our

But we followed her, and, running in

WORK OF LIFE SAVING SERVICE
ASSISTANCE RENDERED TO 1867
VESSELS LAST YEAR.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE RESCUED.
Great Deal of Property Saved - The
Total Number of Disasters to
Vessels of All Kinds
Was 770.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The annual
report of the superintendent of the
life saving service for the fiscal year
ended June 50, 1904, shows that dur
ing the year assistance was rendered
by life saving crews to LOCI vessels
of all kinds, involving the lives of
more than $500 persons, and property
to the value of nearly $7,000,000. The
crews also rescued 103 persons not on
board vessels from various perilous
situations, and through signal warn
ings of the beach patrols saved from
possible disaster 1G1 vessels in dan
ger of stranding. The vessels wrecked
were generally of small tonnage.
There were 359 casualties to regis
tered vessels, involving 1925 persons,
of whom q were lost. The estimated
value of these vessels was $4G9S,S ,S55,
and of their cargoes $1,757 1925, max
ing the total estimated value of prop
erty imperiled $G,45G,7S0. OF this
amount there was saved $50S9,950,
and $1,3GG,S30 was lost OF the 359
vessels which suffered disaster. so
were totally lost.
Among the smaller craft, not regis
tered, such as sailboats, rowboats,
pleasure launches, etc, All casualties
occurred periling the lives of 500 per-
sons, of whom 13 were lost. The value
of these vessels with their cargoes
was estimated at S24S,750, with a loss
of $S,620. This makes the total num-
Der of disasters to vessels of all kinds
40, with a valuation of S6,705. $50. of
which S5,330,OS0 was saved and 81
375,450 was lost. The total number
of persons involved was 3,32S, of
whom "a lost their lives.
The net expenditure for the main
tenance of the service during the fis-
cal year was $1,7G6,4 ,44G.
The life saving lines now extend
practically unbroken from Maine to
the Carolinas and have connection at
all important points with the CONNER
cial telephone and telegraph lines of
the country, and also, where desir-
able, with the lighthouses and wealth
er bureau Offices on the coast. The life
saving stations the report says con-
stitute an important factor in the sys-
tenn of coast guard patrol maintained
by the navy department for protect
ing the coast in time of war, and the
wireless telegraph system now being
tested by the navy, when sufficiently
perfected will be extended to the life
saving stations.
The telephone service on the great
lakes has been materially improved
during the year.

the republican side. Another and more
gradual element was at work, and that
was the natural growth of republic
ratio of increase than was seen in any
other party. To say that any one per-
son or incidental feature made Missouri
republican is to argue that the state is
swayed by ephemeral matters, which is
most decidedly not the case. Missouri
was won by its indomitable republican
every defeat with more ardor and de-
termination than ever. And if the party
makes the best use of its opportunities,
republican Missouri has come to stay.
