Hsru.n or THE FISHING FLEET.

The boats come sailing up the bay,
And one by one their anchors cast;
Storm beaten are their sides and gray;
Their fsgs are at half-mast.
And one by one they furl their sails,
And slowly pay their anchors out;
Ropes frayed and white, hang from
their rails,
With broken spars about.
Lake phantom ships they cross the bay.
With bulls and rigging weather worn;
Bee, half their lifeboats washed away,
Their canvas stained and torn.
And Of the men they carried out
But few, 10 seems, are there on deck
They move as ghosts might move about
Upon some battered wreck.
Then from the shore the watchers cry,
.where is my brother, husband, SOM"
Lost on the banks" the dread reply
Goes back in words that stun.

Cruiser Colorado All Right.

Delaware Breakwater, Del. July g.
On the unofficial or builders trial trip
yesterday, the United States armored
cruiser Colorado achieved a maximum
speed over a measured course of % 81
knots an hour. an average of two runs
under forced draught being at the rate
of 22.10 knots an hour. This result
is highly gratifying to the builders, as
the requirements of the contract were
exceeded in every respect Experts on
board predicted after the run that the
Colorado will average 2212 knots on
the official trial trip and thus exceed
the contract speed requirement by at
least one-half knot
Vice President Edwin S. Cramp of
the Cramp Shipbuilding Company,
said:
THE model of the ship is so excel
lent that at the top speed there was a
remarkable absence of waves both at
the bow and at the stern.
Another noticeable feature of the
trial was the entire absence of vibra-
tion at all speeds.
THE results, altogether, show the
Colorado to be without peer in the
American navy or any other navy"

quickly backed off, but the heavy seas

The Norge quickly began to go
down by the head. Eight boats were
lowered, and into these the women and
children were hurriedly put. Six OF
these boats smashed against the side of
the Norge and their helpless inmates
were caught up by the heavy seas.
Three boatloads got safely away from
the side of the sinking ship, and many
of the emigrants who were left on
board, seizing life preservers, threw
themselves into the sea and were
drowned.
One of the survivors, man, said:
I'VE left Copenhagen June 22nd.
There were 700 emigrants, Norwegians,
Swedes, Danes and Firms on board.
The crew numbered about eighty.

Norge, 12S, including Captain Gundel,

Stornoway, thirty-two by the British
steamer Cervona and seventy by the
German steamer Energie. They were
all in a pitiful condition. Many were
taken to a hospital and most of them
had to be carried ashore.
