The admiral has caused an order to be given that all tarrying blue jackets in the city shall be arrested and taken to the naval ships. This order has created consternatlon in the ranks of sailors who have failed to return to ship at the expiration of their time liberty and none of them know at what moment they will be picked up, handcuffed and sent aboard for punishment The spectacle of some of the sailors being almost borne on the shoulders of the marines from battleships has been witnessed here for several days and each arrest is always sure to attract a crowd.

WRECK OF A STEAMER.
Strikes on Rocks Off the Coast of Cape
Breton and Thirteen Are
Drowned.

North Sidney. N. S., May 21.-The
worst marine disaster in the history
of the st. Lawrence river coal trade
occurred Friday off Cape North, the
northernmost point of Cape Breton,
when the British steamer Turret Bay,
laden with coal and bound from Sid
ney to Montreal, struck on the rocks
off st. Paul's island, and sank in deep
water 20 minutes later, causing a loss
of 10 lives.
According to the government agent
at st. Paul's island. the steamer struck
near Southwest light about 8: 80 o'clock
In the morning.
Almost Immediately the Turret Bay
backed off into deep water, but sank
within 20 minutes. The crew attempt
ed to cut the boats clear, but while
thus engaged the vessel plunged down,
bow first, carrying every man aboard
with her. Some of the men struggled
to the surface and chung to floating
pieces of wreckage. Fourteen persons
were taken off the wreckage by the
life-saving crew that put out from the
island, but five of them died before
reaching the island.
