Macllias, Me, November 2z-To the he- roc fortituae of the captains wife, Mrs. Frank Mcclure, who stood lashed to the wheel during the severe gale that swept the New England coast from Sunday, November II, to the following Wednes- day, is due largely the safety of the schooner Gold Hunter of Blue Hill, Me, which worked her way into this harbor yesterday eleven days overdue, from Portland The little vessel showed plain, ly the marks of the storm. Her deck was swept clean and her sails were in tatters, but the hull withstood the terrific pounding it received.
 The Gold Hunter, with Captain Me Guire, his wife and one man for an as- sistant, left Portland November 10 with a general cargo for this port. November Il the Gold Hunter made good progress with clear weather until the afternoon. when the wind breezed up from the northeast, while the vessel was four miles off Peter Manan light.
 A sudden gust of wind split the main sail of the vessel and carried away the ibs. Without her head sails the little schooner became manageable. The sea made up rapidly and the vessel was con tinually smothered in the wash of the conlbers. Mrs. Mcclure was below at the time the storm broke, preparing dinner, but rushed on deck and took the wheel while her husband and his assistant went | to work to bend on a foresail so as to l bring the vessel up to the wind.
 l With the craft walowing wildly in the | trough of the sea this task was most difficult. With great patience and con
 summate seamanship the two men la- bored for hours to get their little rag of sail set while Mrs. Mcclure, lashed to the wheel, aided as well as she could by what little steering was possible on the almost helpless craft.
 Finally the foresail was rigged, double reefed, and while the two men clung ex- hausted to the mast, Mrs. Mcclure brought the vessel around headup to the wind and held her there for forty-eight hours. Before the fury of the gale the vessel driftel out to sea for nlnety-slx miles off Mount Desert Rock. In all this time it was impossible to cook food or even to heat up any coffee.
 Kept up only by excitement and pluck Mrs Mcclure chung to her post through the height of the gale, while Captain Mcclure and his men attended to their little storm sail which continually broke from it's insecure fastenings. It was mans work at the wheel. with the helm kicking strongly to the wild plunges of

President E. P. Ripley, of the

in a speech delivered at the Los

many railroad men when he said:

more power, with the aid OF one
man from Milwaukee with a griev-
auce, started the agitation, and
having started it, enlisting the
powerful aid of the President has
stampeded the country and at least
one branch of Congress. The charge
has been made that the railway
mileage Of the country is III few
hands; that a few men can get to-
gether, in New York and by
stroke of the pen, or a general or
der, impose enormous burdens on
the country by advancing rates. 1
