TALE or SUFFERING
Grew Of Schooner Arrive In Port With
Narrowing Tale Of PrintIon.

North Sydney, c. B.. Jan. Ia tale OF
hardship and suffering was related by the
captain and 16 men OF the crew OF the
French fishing schooner Sappho. who ar
rived here today on the steamer Bruce
from Newfoundland. After abandoning
their vesesl of Red Island, near Cape St
George, on the French shore OF New
feundland, the men rowed IA miles in a
rough sea.
The Sappho experienced terrific weather
from Dec. 12 until che was abandoned
The heavy gales carried away the sails
The pounding of the heavy seas caused
the schooner TO spring aleak, and the
crew were obliged TO work the pumps
night and day TO keep the craft from
sinking. Finally the pumps became frozen
and choked and had TO be abandoned.
Three times the mate urged the captain
to abandon the schooner. but he refused
and she drifted up and down the straits
OF Belle Isle. Finally favorable wind
carried the Sappho towards Red Island
and as she was In q sinking condition the
captain was induced to abandon her. The
vessel was set on fire and all hands
launched the dorfes.

From Assembly is Hoped For

The present week Is the short calendar
week in the common pleas division OF the
supreme court. The short calendar IS
made up Of cases that are not reached
on the days on which they are assignee
for trial There were large number OF
such cases on the docket this week. but
only one was reached and the trial OF that
will probably take up most of next week.
The criminal docket kept Judge Wilbur
busy every court day, Judge Biodgett
was on circuit and this left only Judge
Johnson to deal with cases on the shor.
calendar. The four judges OF the ap-
pellate division have a great deal OF
work on hand and could not assist in
the tr1al of jury cases.
The docket OF the common pleas court
is crowded with cases at present. 1t Is
hoped that the general assembly soon
after IL assemblies will grant much needed
relief by reorganizing the courts under
the amendment to the constitution, passed
last November.
