the bridge, and the rails bent under
the weight.
A cry arose. The carpenter rushed
to Capt. Fitzgerald. His face was
white. In quick, shouted words he told
of an awful discovery The ship had
sprung leak!
The pumps were quickly manned
All night the men labored.
Morning brought no hope. There
were now four feet of water in the

On board the ice now weighed many
tons. All form Of ship had vanished.
1t 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 lightened. Anchors were cast
overheard, cables, even the cargo, in
the effort to raise her a 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
its 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 the
frost-bound schooner saw she was the
Atlantic Transport companys liner
Mesaba. From her bridge her captain
stared with amazement at the strange
sight of what at first looked like an
iceberg, then resolved into a little
ship embedded in ice, and flying sig
nails of distress.
A boat shot from the Mesaba's side,
and made rapidly towards the sman-
da. At the sight of it the wearied
men raised feeble cheer, then rushed
off to collect the more precious of .noir
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-
tated. 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.

number of criminals at the state peni-
tentiary is increasing more than four
times as fast as the population of the
state. The population of the prison
has increased 4O.2 per cent since 1900,
while the census bureau officials will
be highly pleased If there lis an in
crease of 10 per cent in the population
of the state.
There are 702 prisoners at Stillwa-

history of the institution. The num-

Grave Charges.

Portland, Ore, July 5.-The jury in
the case of the United States against
United States Senator John H. Mitchell

statutes constitutes a crime It is ex-
pected that the other indictments
pending against Senator Mitchell,
