TELLS OF HIS ESCAPE.
Grand Duke Says He Was Saved by
Wreckage.

A cablegram from Hardin says: Grand
Duke Cyril has just arrived here on MS
way to ST. Petersburg. His injuries are not
severe, although he is suffering from burns
of the neck and ears caused by the tre-
mendous explosion of the Petropavlovsk
and from bruises Of the back and loins
caused, subsequently, by the beating Of the
turbulent waves, which, however, quickly
subsidized. He gives the following story OF
his escape which was almost miraculous:
At the moment of the explosion on the
Petropaylovsk the grand duke was on the
bridge, at the other end of which was Adj
miral Makaroff. 1t seemed as il the world,
the skies, the waters were suddenly rent
asunder, and from the gulf arose a devour-
ing cloud and binding flame, which burst
with deafening roar into acrid suffocat ting
fumes.
Scorched, blinded choked. stunned. Cyril
recovered consciousness sufficiently to rec
ognize that the Petropavlovsk was settling
down by the head The bodies of the dead
sailors were floating from Off the forecastle
deck, which was awash. All around lay
wreckage; fallen top hamper and scalding
steam cut off the grand dukes escape by
the companfonway.
He family remembers that he realized
the necessity of making his way aft, dimly
reasoning that there he was more likely.
with some way still on the ship. to clear
the suction from her when she sank He
recalls swarming hand under hand down
from the bridge and making his way along
the deck through smoke, fame, steam and
still suffocating fumes among heaps of hui
man debris.
He remembers ascending an incline, with
the rising water. as 1t seemed, pursuing
him into barbette in which the water was
already pouring with such force that he re-
Quired all the strength he could muster to
battle his way through It. However, he
reached a gun port and Owed through 1t.
He recalls now that while diving the
thought flashed across his mind that he
must dive deep and swim as far as pos
sible before rising, as that was his only
chance to permanently clear the sinking
ship. So he dived down, down and out
ward. with all the force of an athletic
and practiced swimmer, until his temples
were bursting with the effort of retain
ing his breath.
Then he struck out upward.
However, he had dived so deep that 1t
seemed to him he would never reach the
surface; but at last the light came and
he reached the air. While he filled his
lungs he supported himself on piece of
floating wreckage which he seized, and
to which he assisted another struggling
swimmer.
Then the grand duke looked around for
the Petropavlovsk. She was not to be
seen.

great majority of readers enjoy a banquet,
and one Of the next best things to par
ticipating in a banquet ones self is to
read the details of feasts in fiction. This
maxim applies with even greater force to
the younger generation. Sir Conan Doyle
has given it as his opinion that an author

profession, and in the recipe for interest,"
ing boys is included the rule Never scamp
the description of a meal-give IT in detail.
The thousands of young readers who have
devoured Harrison Ainsworth's Tower of
London" probably remember the little sup
pers In the stone kitchen with greater
pleasure than almost any other portion of
the romance. There was magnicent
spaci0usness about those meals which could
not fail to appeal to the reader. The very
word pasty is q poem. and the mention
of ''chines of beer and the like convince
him that this time he has really got hold
OF classic. -.
