BOAT REACHES SHORE
Survivors of the Wrecked Demara
Reach the Coast in an Open Boat
Today-DetaiIs of the Wreck.

Halifax, N. S., Feb. S.-The Furness
| line office here has just been advised
of the arrival at Pleasant Point of a
missing boat from the steamer Dam
ara.
Fifteen persons in the boat, including
Capt. Gorst and two women, suffered
little from their experience. Tse
steamer Damara sank in ten fathoms
OF water.
Halifax, N. T., Feb s.-During a
raging snow storm which has swept
the Nova Scotia coast for the past
twenty-four hours, the ocean steamer
Damara of the Furness line, ran on
the rocks at Musquoloboit, thirty miles
east of Halifax and is believed to have
foundered with the loss of many lives.
The first officer Of the ship, with
eighteen of the crew, escaped in one Of
the life boats, and landed at Pleas
ant Point, after terrific struggle
with wind and sea. Captain Gorst,
| master of the Damara, four passen-
gers and the rest Of the steamers
crew, left the vessel in another life
boat. They have not been heard of
since and it is feared that they have
perished. The occupants of the boat
which reached the shore We're utterly
exhausted and many of them were
badly frozen.
They had q narrowing experience,
battling in the darkness for hours i'll
the open boat against the tempestuous
seas on a treacherous coast, with the
temperature 10 degrees below zero and
an Arctic blizzard raging They land
ed on shore some time during the day
and reached the telegraph office at
Musquodoboit harbor last evening"
whence they wired the first news of the
disaster to the agents of the Furness
line at Halifax to which port the Da-
mara was bound.
The survivors say that the steamer
struck about 2 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, when the blizzard was so thick
that it was impossible to see ships
length ahead, on what proved to be
Musquodoboit ledge, five miles from
the mainland.
An immense hole, thru which the
sea poured in torrents, was smashed in
the bow of the steamer. The shock of
the impact awakened everyone on
board and huge breakers swept the
vessel fore and aft. Lifeboats immed-
lately were ordered over. the side, and
all hands left the ship
1t is believed that the steamer must
have foundered quickly and small hope
is entertained by the survivors of the
wreck that the captain and other oc-
cupants of the missing lifeboat could
have successfully withstood the ex-
treme rigor Of the weather prevailing
on this coast for the many hours which
have passed.
The wind last night was off shore
and if the missing boat has not all
ready been swamped it has been driven
seaward many miles and is now prob
ably adrift on the Atlantic in the worst
weather of the season.
Tugs were dispatched from this har-
Dor last night to search for the boat
and to locate the hull of the Damara.

Young America in British Eyes.

Whatever may be said of the man.
ners and customs of our English
schools and colleges, in the way of de-
probation, we can at least c0ngratu-
late ourselves, even at the risk of being
Pharisaical, that they are not ike
those in vogue at similar institutions
in America. One cannot say, of
course, how far the stories which reach
us through the columns Of the morn
ing papers are to be relied on. We
instinctively mistrust any eXtravagapt
tale that comes from the States. But
If only a 1.-THE of the stories are true
there is need for very substantial
reform in American colleges. We are
accustomed to look on bullying as an
obsolete practice, and the writer who
introduces it into school story does
so at the risk of being laughed at. But
in the States it is very genuine and
active evil. We read of doings which
seem almost incredible. AS, for in
stance, the case of the young man who
was taken to an abandoned coal mine,
logged, thrown into a deep pool of
water, and dragged through the mud
for quarter of mile-all this by way
Of sportive practical joke. In another
case an electric chair was used on the
victim, with the result that he was
crippled. We repeat that we take
these stories with a very large grain
of salt. But there is no doubt that
life at American colleges is decidedly
rough and calls for reform. There is
something of the Red Indian in Young
America. Globe.

Followed by a Lloness.

While lady and gentleman were
proceeding by ricksha from Salisbury
to Ardbennie on recent Sunday
evening they were considerably
alarmed by seeing, soon after cross
ing the railway, lioness cross their
path some twenty-five yards ahead Of
them.
Being taken so much by surprise,
they failed to check the boys, and pro-
ceeded on their journey. Shortly >af
terward they found the beast about
ten yards in the bush on one side of
them, and she proceeded thus for over
a mile and half Fortunately, owing
to the dirty and slippery condition of
the roads, the boys attention was
confined to their work of impelling
the vehicle In their charge, and they
did not perceive the lioness.
1t was thought that the very bright
light which the boys were carrying
kept the animal at safe dist-nce.-

It Is unusual to see a woodchuck
drive a dog; it is usually reversed, and
the chuck takes to his hole, to be dug
out by the dog.
A Phillips canine followed his mis-
tress, who was on drive through the
back towns of Phillips the other day,
and after driving off all the hens from
the farms along the road, he came upon
a woodchuck near the road. He barked
with JOY at the sight of that strange
animal, and with one leap he landed in
front of the woodchuck.
Then he stopped-there was some
thing in the woodchuek's eye that in
tiicated there might be serious trouble.
The dog discovered it, and backed
away to safety. and, strange to state,
the woodchuck followed him; followed
him until the poetry was all out of the
experience and the fun was all gone.
Finally, the dog acknowledged his de-
feat by dropping his tail and starting
for Phillips at very fast pace.-Ban-

"IdeaIu Wives of India,

The Mahratti women of western In.
dia have the reputation of being mod
Ell wives. They have solved the prob
lem of domestic peace. There are
three things in the world that they
have thought for. Because of this
necessarily simple life they find them

First a Mahratti woman thinks of her
husband She worships him. He is
her god, her priest. her religion. Sec

she takes an interest in her jewelry.
These three and no more. This Is
her life. No wonder she is sufficiently
amiable to be called ideal.
