Notwithstanding the fact that foodstuff

inexcusable for the woman who dictates

books have materially lightened this task
OF planning. Scores OF practical receipts

in pride or something else who cannot sup
ply her table with variety Of inexpensive

bilities Of the fruits canned during the
summer, combined with u bit Of cream or

Gloucester Mass, April l0.-The three
masted scvooner ID. Clifford went ashore
on Field Rock off Long Beach in this
harbor this morning and Captain A. A.
Greenleaf and his crew OF FIVE men were
rescued by the Gloucester life savers
after n perious voyage In treacherous
sea,
The Clifford is hard and fast In bed
OF rocks with the seas washing from her
stem 10 her stern, and her destruction is
only a question OF hours.
The schooner was bound from Sullivan,
Me-, for New York with cargo OF "a
600 paving stones. She came down the
coast yesterday and ran into bad weather

run for shelter and he came into this
harbor and dropped anchor at o'clock
last night. Everything went we'll untn

creased greatly the skper set an extra
watch on deck, put out his second an
chor and made things as trim and snug
as possible.
At o'clock this morning the wind had
increased TO hurricane proportions and the
Clifford began dragging her anchors. Cap
tain Greenleaf endeavored 10 kedge sew
eral times, but was unsuccessful and In
two hours he was dangerously close TO
the rocks. The predlcament OF the
schooner was observed by Captain King
OF the Gloucester Life Saving station and
he and his crew launched their lifeboat
and made a tiresome Journey to the Gif
ford
Capt Greenleaf was unwilling TO aban-
don his vessel without one last effort TO
save her from destruction on the Jagged
rocks. He communicated his desire 20

she struck Capt. Greendeaf realizing that
further efforts were useless ordered his
men into the lifeboat.
The situation which now confronted the
rescuers and rescued was more dangerous
than when all hands were on board tho
unmanageable schooner. The sea was ter

the life boat was tossed about like chin.
