Work of Saving Distressed Vessels.

The United States revenue cutter William
Window, which, as stated in The Star, has
just completed her period of winter cruising
on Chesapeake bay, in compliance with the
orders of the President did not have many
calls made upon her for aid during the
cruising period, in consequence of the mild
winter and the absence OF ice. During the
entire period from December / until April
1 she found but three vessels that needed
her aid These were the schooner Carrie
of Seaford. Del; the schooner Thomas and
Henry of Baltimore and the Henry r.
Travers of Crisseld. Md. The total value
of the vessels saved and of their cargoes
was S10,90o During the four months just
closed the Window has cruised over 5000
miles on Chesapeake bay and its tributaries.
In 1905 she aided thirty-seven vessels val
ued at S325.oo0 and having aboard cargoes
valued at s5e300 Much of the time of the
Window during the past season was taken
up In cruising among the oyster fleet aiding
the government authorities to investigate
allegations of cruelty among the oyster
fleet on Chesapeake bay and the lower Po-
tomac.

black Image of the Savior in the Church Of

body could tell me its history, but it has
been worshiped for more than three centu-

the Catholic Church, and 1t is held in great
reverence by the Indians. Another black

Is found at Esquibulas, a little town near

miraculous powers, and thousands of sick

ney for relief every year. There is a third

celebrated and the negroes there do not
