Board Are
Saved

Boston, March 14.--The Phoenix line

Sunday with 56 persons on board, %
OF whom are known to be saved.

Mannheim. bound from Hamburg for
New York
Among the rescued are Captain
James O'Hagan OF the British King,
but who cied on board the Bostonian,
of injuries.
The rescue work by the crews of the
Bostonian and the Mannheim was ef-
fected at great risk to the lives OF the
rescuers.
The first boat launched by the Bos-
tonian was crushed to pieces and the
crew saved with difficulty. The Sec
ond boat was also smashed, but the
crew and those rescued were saved
with a rope apparatus.
Five others were rescued from the
wreckage by the Bostonian.
The loss Of the British King was
caused by barrels and other wreckage
being washed overheard during the
storm and pounding against the sides,
eventually making a hole through
which the water poured.

deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that | was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough exami
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin
ally my husband purchased a set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped.
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
