tons. All form of ship had vanished. It looked almost like an iceberg.
 Hopelessness marked every coun- tenance. With the water in her hold dragging her down, and the ever growing ice pressing heavily on the deck, the ship lay on the verge of laundering.
 Realizing the desperateness of their plight, the captain ordered the vessel to be frightened Anchors were cast overheard, cables, even the cargo, in the effort to raise her few inches higher in the water.
 On the fifth day of the storm, when the crew were almost ready to throw themselves down and let Fate work it's way, a long black cloud appeared on the horizon A ship was in sight.
 A large vessel approached, moving rapidly through the waves. As she drew near. the watch on board tlie frost t-bound schooner saw she was the Atlantic Transport company's liner Mesaba. From her bridge her captain stared with amazement at the strange sight of what at first looked like an iceberg. chen resolved into little ship embedded in ice, and flying sig nals of distress.
 A boat shot, from the Mesaba's side, and made rapidly towards the Aman- da. At the sight of it the wearied men raised a feeble cheer. then rushed of to collect the more precious of .neir belongings.
 One by one they climbed over the ice-covered bulwarks and slid down to the little boat that lay tossing at the stern. Only Capt. Fitzgerald hesi- tatsd. A thought was in his mind. He dare not leave his ship-a derelict, drifting in the track of many ocean liners. The schooner must be de- stroyed.
 Without a word he turned on his heels. and descended to his cabin. In a few minutes dense volumes of smoke poured from the matches.
 Then the captain joined his com- rades.

night at the close of one of the best d.ys he has had since his illness. The local trouble was clearing up satisfac- torily, according to Dr. Scudder The secretary suffered none of the old pains in his chest which character ized his earlier illness. He had been perfectly comfortable all day and hap lS' in the anticipation of leaving his bed for the greater freedom and com fort of a couch. At II o'clock he was sleeping quietly.
 A few minutes after 12 he called the nurse, who at once summoned Dr. Scudder.
 Both Dr. Scudder and Dr. Murphy hastened to his bedside The secretary was breathing with difficulty and ex- pired almost immediately afterward at 1925.
 By the death of John Hay this coun- try loses one of it's greatest sons and President Roosevelt one of the most capable if not the most capable and astute of his cabinet officers, his veri table right hand man.

They came by special train, reaching the secretary's bedside about midnight. If was then stated that Mir. Hays trouble was uraemla. caused by cold contracted in his journey from Washington to Lake Sunapee IT..
 Dr. Scudder gave out the following bulletin at the time: .-.
 "Mr. Hay is suffering from the ef- fleets of chill caught on the journey from Washington. The attack is simi- lar to one which he had four years ago. Mir Hay is resting comfortably and ex- poets to be about in few days"
 Yesterday report from the bedside said that the improvement in Secretary Hays condition was even more marked than for several days.
 Professor Groedel, who was Mir. Hays physician while the secretary was at the Bad Nauheim baths in Ger. many. said only lately that it was i'm possible for MT. Hay to have uraemia and that Mir. Hays kidneys were alto gether healthy.
 Mir. Hay. replying yesterday to ca- bled inquiry from Professor Groedel. said:
