monster shark was lurking that was to taste of my flesh ere the night had passed. and could I have known what the future held for lne l would hardly have been in the mood t9 enjoy na lures beauties.
 We divcsted ourselves of our it tire, dOnned bathing suits and, with d shout of delight. dashed into the surf, which rolled up the beach to meet us. We lay in the shallow water as the waves splashed over Us, but finally we wandered out until the flood subl.ierG- ed Us nearly to the chin. My compan- ions were content with this venture, but l. being good swimmer. was bent on a further risk, and with lusty buf- fets l Swam against the oncomng walls of foam until 1 was out in the depths.
 The sport was the finest I had ever enjoyed, and l swam around all ul- conscious of danger until l heard the voice of one of my mates calling over the waters: For Gods sake. Reese come in. There's shark moving near you.

 'For an instant my course toward shore was stayed.

 Il knew then that the shark had snapped at me and bitten off a portion of my heel. and as I called forth all my reserve strength in the race for life there was despair tugging at my heart for I felt the race hopeless one.
 Tt was then that I felt something brush my kicking leg, ana the sense that the contact was with an object clammy and pulpy readily possessed me. The monster had made another try for me and, miscalculating, grazed me in his dash.
 "A deluge of water more powerful than any I had yet encountered lifted me bodily up on it's crest, and when came down and started to swim again the points of my toes were touching sand. Another effort and my feet were

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
AND HIS HISTORY
HE HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO
THE LIMELlGHT BY RooSE-
VELT-sToRER CONTROVERSY.


1--WE have the right to view with
no slight joy the future that
opens up before America, for we
are its sons, and sons who give
way to no one in our fidelity to
America. In the present war
there has not been a single bat
tie fought on land or sea in which
our Catholic soldiers and sailors
have not exposed their lives for
America. And in the greatest
number of our States statistics
show that in proportion to their
number the Catholics have fur
nished more than their contingent
for the defense of America. And
for truth, the sincerity of ones
religious convictions has never
lessened the warmth of his pa
triotism, nor the warmth of his
patriotism the sincerity of his re-
ligious convictions. Sample of
the public utterances of Arch
bishop ireland, which have won
for him the esteem and admira-
ton not only of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley, and President
Roosevelt, but of all patriotic =
citizens of the United States.

STEAMER BROKE A SHAFT.
800 Passengers Transferred From the
Puritan Today

NEW LONDON, Conn. August 8.-The
steamer Puritan of the Fall River line
broke shaft off New London harbor early
today. The steamer came TO anchor In the
fog off Sarahs Ledge The 500 passengers
bound from New York to Fall River were
transferred &c the railroad station here by
tugs.
a train will be made up here before noon
TO carry the passengers to their destination
The fog on the sound was unusually thick
this morning
The breakage of the shaft was due to
the shock caused by the steamer striking
q heavy obstruction in the sound about
Midnight last night. Very few of the pas
sengers were aware of the accident until
daylight. The steamer came to anchor
and word was sent ashore for assistance
tug was sent out TO find the vessel. which
was difficult matter owing to the fog.
1t was rearly daylight before the tug
reached the steamer, and soon afterward
took her in town to an anchorage off Sa-
rahs Ledge, about three miles from shore.
Two other tugs were sent out to assist in
taking OFF passengers This task was prac-
tically completed at II 80. when nearly all
the passengers were landed at union sta
tion.
y special train had been made up, and
shorty after the noon hour IL stared east
with the Puritan's passengers who were
bound for Boston. The Puritan will be

Captain Reported Saved.
EXCITEMENT AT GENOA.
The Ships Office Besieged by Agoniz-
ed Throngs.

GENOA, Italy. August 6.-The loss of the
Italian steamer Sirio causes intense excite
ment among the relatives and friends of the
Italian passengers and crew, most of whom
lived here or in this vicinity. The Offices of
the captain of the port and of the Italian
General Navigation Company, to which the
Sirio belonged. were so besieged today by
agonized throngs seeking information that
the police Were compelled to establish bar
riers to hold back the crowd. Some of the
people assumed a threatening aspect, de-
claring that facts were being withheld.
The Sirio had seen twenty-three years of
service, but she was considered to be In
seaworthy condition. She was built Of iron
and wood; had a single screw, was of 1900
tons gross register and had a speed of fif-
teen knots per hour. Her captain, Giuseppe
Paradi was a native Of Genoa and vet
eran seaman.
This disposition to be made of the impov-
erished immigrants who were saved from
the Sirio causes special anxiety. The situa-
tion recalls similar wreck of a Genoese
ship near the Rock of Gibraltar, when the
survivors were unable to proceed to Amer
lea or return to Italy and therefore estab-
lished a fishing colony near Gibraltar, where
they still remain
