graveyard at Ecluelet, a village a few
miles distant from the scene of the
disaster which involved the lives OF
six men and one woman.

An Indian is said to have seen the

as a small box marked rockets was
washed ashore. The Indians went to

informed that wreck had occurred
and both white men and Indians re.

The steel bark had gone on the
reef to the eastward of Amphitrite
Point. about so yards from the shore,
and the wreckage was washed ashore
in small bay, 20 yards wide, with
steep jagged rocks at the mouth, on
both sides, and fully exposed to the
terrific southwest gale which still
swept monstrous seas on the rocks.
While the settlers were searching
among the wreckage they saw two
bodies, both of which were recovered
with boathooks found among the
wreckage. Two other bodies, which
were beaten against the rocks, could
not be recovered, but it is reported
they have since come ashore. It is
considered impossible for man to
land alive, so rocky is the vicinity
where the wreck occurred.
On the rocks handkerchief and
socks marked with the name of
"Wormwell' and a handkerchief and
collar with the name "A. 8. Laurie

a really important and interesting dec

his observations are a startling con-
tribution on a subject which always
has keenly interested scientists, cler-
gymen and physicians, and is certain
to provoke general discussion. DR..

the modes of death and the sensations
OF the dying. Ninety suffered bodily
pain and distress of some sort or an
other; eleven showed mental appre-
hension: two were in positive terror;
one expressed spiritual exaltation,
and one bitter remorse. The great
majority gave no sign one way or II e,
other; like their birth, their death
was sleep and forgetting. The preach
er is right; in this matter man hath

Dr. Osler still is camped on the
