A PERILoUs EXPERIENCE.

Ben Benson and Ben Oleson, Glou-
cester fishermen. missing since Septem-
Der 0 from the Gloucester fisherman
Arbutus, turned up sound and well OIL
the Scandinavian American liner Hellg
Olav. The two Bens were assigned
one day by Captain Pfuger of the Ar
butus to set out the travis off the
Grand Banks. They rowed away in
the dory to do it. and that was the
last the men of the Arbutus saw of
them. A thick fog settled off the
Banks about that time, and the trawi
settlers were unable to find their way
back to the vessel.
Then they began to drift. and the
seas got chop2y and they had all
they could do to keep the sixteen-foot
hours they bailed out the water that
poured with relentless regularity into
their frail craft They had neither
food nor fresh water, and matters soon
became serious. The second day big
tramp steamship was sighted and the
cutwater caused the little dory to do
all kinds of stunts, but the lookout OH
the tramp did not see them. and the
steamer was soon lost to view.
The next day they sighted another
steamship. This time it was an ocean
liner heading at full speed for New
York. 1t was several miles away. and
the man on the lookout again failed
TO see them. The great ocean grey
hound went her way. Benson and
Oleson continued to drift.
The Gloucester men were almost
crazed for water and food, but they
kept on balling and hoping. For three
days they hoped. The sky was clear
and blue all these last three days.
but neither sail nor smoke from pass
ing craft did they sight. They knew
that unless somebody sighted them
within day 1t was thousand to one
that they would die.
Almost exhausted, but still bailing
when the sun came up on the morning
of the seventh day, their hearts al
most leaped into their throats, for only
few hundred yards away was the
steamship Nicolal H., bound for Copen-
hagen. The lookout saw them. and
ten minutes later the Nicolai had
stopped and lifeboat was on the way
to rescue them. In an hour they We're
safe OH board the Nicolai II. and on
the way to Copenhagen.
When the Nicolai ii. reached Copen-
hagen the American Consul took the
Gloucester men in charge and sent
them home.-New York Times.

HUNT FOR WILD BEASTS.

Hunting big game to capture it,"
says a writer in the London Magazine,
'is far more dangerous business than
hunting merely to kill. and when on
the trail one cannot be too cautious
One of the closest shaves 1 ever had
was in the pursuit of couple of rhin-
oceroses. l had news that couple
We're in the vicinity; and, as l had an
order for a pair. started out with
eighteen Malay coolies to track and
trap them.
"We had arrived. after a two days
Journey, at a spot where it seemed
possible to trap them. and were pros
pecting around. when suddenly my
gun-bearer, who always walked just
behind me, cried out. dropped the rife,
and, followed by the others, bolted for
the nearest tree. Now the Malays are
among the bravest of the earth, and
will face any animal except the wild
buffalo: and certainly their fear of this
creature is well founded, for IL is the
most ferocious brute I have ever en-
ccuntered. Not only will it attack on
sight, but it will pick up a scent and
track its quarry: while IL it trees it.
it will wait around the tree till its
