When Fogs Obscure the Wafer

THUS It is that when fogs obscure the water vigil
ance IS relaxed by the toil-worn lookout TO whom
IS 1ntrusted the lives of score of comrades tiredv
sleeping below. Though the fog-horn each vessel
carries IS sounded regularly still many a horror is
enacted amid this curtain of gloom when a mighty
steamship splits IN twain hapless tisher-boat and

age and bodies she sends to bottom by the stroke
OF her steel-clad Prov. Often at night a sudden
crash rends the stiffness. and a shrek of despair
rises from the stricken schooner's crew; but the
Ievlathan races by unheedIng, a swirl of spntered
wood IN her wake to mark the eddies for awhile and
then vanish, tomb for fifteen or twenty men.
Last summer one of the German liners cut down
trawler on the banks; but 1t in daytime, and
the crew fortunately escaped. The previous wear

harmless results. The freighter Endvmion, how
