Raft, One Jumps Overheard and
Five Are Rescued.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 26.-Counting the
minutes, which seemed to them to be
but few, intervening between them
and death, bruised, bleeding, hunger
ing and athirst, five men adrift on a
bit Of wreckage, off the Florida coast,
saw one of their companions, whose
sufferings had driven him mad, throw
himself into the sea to death and not
long afterward the ship which was
coming that saved their lives.
The five survivors of one of the
greatest tragedies which has ever
occurred on this coast were landed
here by the British steamer Heather
pool, which arrived yesterday.
These survivors with about 145
others were constructing viaduct
for the Florida East Coast railway,
through Florida Keys, and were
aboard houseboat No. 4, anchored OF
the coast the night of October H.
The hurricane which swept the coast
strucks the houseboat about l o'clock
in the morning of October 10, and it
broke adrift. The hOuseboat soon
afterward foundered and all the $50
men aboard were thrown into the
sea. The houseboat was dashed to
pieces by the waves.
Many of the men were killed by
heavy timbers which struck them as
they were struggling to escape. Six
men dashed together two timbers and
lived on this raft until on became
mad from suffering and injury and
threw himself into the sea.
On the morning of October 10, Cap
tain Grieves heard cries for help and
discovered the raft. He launched
the lifeboat and took the perishing
men aboard and brought them here.

banquet last night. The principal ad-
dress was made by Charles G. Dawes
of Chicago formerly comptroller Of
the currency.
The prize essayist, speaking of the
harsh treatment of insurance men and
methods by the press says:
1.-The insurance man should be phil
osopher enough to see clearly one
significant fact-the press did not
originate the insurance scandals. II
there had been nothing to criticise,
there would have been no criticism.
My experience and observation has
been that. with all it's shortcomings,
no institution in the country stands
SO ready unselfishly to promote the
welfare of the public as the press,
and that man or that institution which
is blameless need have no fear of in
justice or criticism at it's hands. The
press is right in insisting that life
insurance shall remain true to it's
ideals; but it must ont forget that it
is easier to tear down than to build:
that life insurance as a force not only
must be kept pure, but must be active
in the service of humanity. On the
other hand, if our life insurance in
situations hew to the line, if they re-
main true to the principles of altru-
ism which gave them birth, their re-
lationsnip with the press cannot be
too close. The press is too potent a
a factor in the worlds progress to be
ignored. 1t is a power which should
be utilized to the utmost in insurance
work"
