by the mass of barnacles and other
marine growth on the ships bottom. the
crew of the Norwegian bark Fortuna
suffered the preliminary pangs of star
walton in mid-ocean until relieved by
the British steamship Snowflake, which
has arrived here from Shields in ball
last.
Bound from Port Elizabeth to Hali-
fax, a fifty-day trip for a sailing vessel,
the Fortuna found herself but half way
across the Atlantic on the seventy-dfth
day. Her stores, calculated on the
basis of an ordinary duration for the
voyage, ran out, and all food on board
except a few hard biscuits, had been
consumed before aid came.
Distress signals were run up to the
masthead, and the hungry seamen lined
along the vessels rails, straining their
eyes in search of the horizon for signs
of relief. and frantically waved their
arms for help when any ship, real or
imag aginary, came into range of vision.
Early that morning the Snowflake's
lookout saw the distress signals and
reported that the bark seemed to be
shipping heavy seas. He could see the
sailors waving their arms, and the Brit
ish tanker was soon run alongside. A
boat loaded with water and provisions,
on order of Captain Kell, was lowered
and the cargo transferred to the bark.
Their distress relieved, the bark's
crew thought the supplies sufficient to
see them through, and their voyage was
resumed. The ships met in latitude
1905. longitude 50.17.

KENTUCKY COLONEL Is
VICTIMIZED BY A GIRL

louisville Man Finds GaIIantry ar
Expensive Luxury In Gotham
Town--Pays $275 for His
Experience

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Briscoe Hind
man of Louisville, KY, had to come to
New York to learn a new trick in the
gentle art of separating man from his
''wad," as they call any considerable
collection currency down there. His ma
tive southern chivalry helped the way,
but he will have to charge up $275 to
profit and loss when he gets back home,
while one of the more or less attractive
young women who hover in the vicinity
much the weather..
Mr.. Hindman, who is fifty years old
and of distinguished appearance. is "up
Moth" on a little pleasure jaunt and he
is staying at that hotel. After a hearty
dinner Saturday evening he took stroll
and then returned to the Waldorf. AS
he was about to enter he was accosted
by a demure looki..g young woman, ex-
ceedingly comely and we'll dressed, who
was accompanied by an older person who
might easily have been chaperon but
who wasen't
In hesitating tones, which indicated
that she was awfully llmid of strangers,
the young woman asked Mr.. Hindman
how they could get a view of the Wal
DORIS roof garden, as they had heard
women were not admitted there without
male escort. Mr.. Hindman wasn't quite
sure about this and Il 7 had little con-
versation. Then he said he would find
out and went into the hotel. When he
returned the women had disappeared,
and so had his pocketbook containing
$275. The trick was done deftly, for he
did not discover his loss until a few
minutes afterward when he ordered one
of those vernal-looling affairs in tall
glass whose habitat is in old Kentucky,
and found he had no money to pay for 1t.
''Well, sub, it's one on me, 1 reckon
Mr.. Hindman to a companion,
and he made out a draft on his south
ern bankers to tide him over Sunday
Incidentally, he reported the case to the
West Thirtieth street station, but the
police have little hope of finding the de-
mure young person.

BOY MAKES NEW RECORD
EATING BLUEBERRY PIE
SAUERKRAUT APPETITE WINS
QUEER CONTEST
"Red" Matters and His Gang Are De-
posed and Frtzie sauer Is
the Hero of the
Hour

CHICAGO, Sept. 9-Fritz Sauer is the
new idol of West Pullman. He won the
annual pie eating contest at the third
yearly home" day of the suburb. there
by scoring a few on the town gang, and
especially on RED" Matters. chieftain OF
the Squads as Fritzie's pals call them
Fritzie, who still is In knickerbockers. ate
blueberry pie in 1:S5 fiat.
Red Matters has lorded it over the
extremely younger element of the town
for a year, due not so much. of course,
to his rough ard ready ability as to his
appetite. He was the pie eating cham
pion of the town last year. Fritzie, with
a eauerkraut ancestry. was determined
to win this time.
He believed the gang should be made
to understand few, to assume its proper
unimportance, etc, and so he went in to
topple Red from his enviable position.
Red however. to all appearances,
seemed the real Huck Finn before the
contest began, and his pals wagered their
last on him.
Fritzie had tasted for one meal and his
appetite was of the German kind. With
the drop of the handkerchief he went to
the pie and never once looked up. He
finished nearly a whole wedge ahead of
Red" who threw what he had not con-
sumed under the table, when the judges
started to award the baseball mask em-
hlematic of victory, to Fritzie.
Reds" pals Immediately protested,
saying that he had won and pointing to
the empty plate. The judges were per-
picked, but one OF F'ritzie's friends, who
had seen ''Red" duck" his uneaten pie'
begged them to look under Reds" table
and behold the remains. OF course, Red
finally admitted his guilt. after con-
sistent denials.
His only explanation was: "Well, ate
my pie-I didn't inhale It,"

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 9.-Swingine
on a rope ladder in midair, John Hutch

CRACKSMAN SHOWS SAFE
TO BE FLIMSY AFFAIR
GERMAN MANUFACTURERS ARE
STARTLED
Remarkable Success of Unidentified
Burglar Proves That All Their
Precautions Have Been
In Vain

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-United States
Consul Thomas H. Norton, writing from
| Chemnitz, says that the confidence OF
| German manufacturers of safes in the re-
sistance of their wares against ordinary
| safe blowing operations has been rudely
shaken by the recent achievements OF
single unaided robber in Dresden and
other cities.
| In an operation he leased a room in q
hotel, which was Immediately above the
office of a money changer. At night a
hole was pierced In the ceiling of this Of
flee BY the use of drill and saw
circular piece of the flooring was easily
raised. Beneath lay a thick layer of ce-
ment. A small orifice was made in this,
and an umbrella showed down into the
space below. The umbrella was attached
firmly from above, and when opened re-
ceived without noise all the fragments OF
cement which were dislodged as the hole
was enlarged so as to allow Of the easy
passage of a person. BY means of rope
ladder the descent was readily made intoj
the office below. Curtains were drawn,
and with heavy blankets tent was con-
structed around the safe, so thick that no
ray of light could pass through.
Next the robber brought down two CYL
inders of compressed oxygen and an ace
tylene generator charged with calcium
able to produce a blowpipe fame of such
intensity that steel fuses in it like lead Mn
an ordinary gas jet 1t required but
brief space of time to melt away so much
of the door that the contents of the saIe
were accessible. They were carried to
the room above. At an early hour the
robber left his lodgings and disappeared
without trace.
1t is evident from this experience that
the builders of safes much provide for
new contingencies in their construction.
In somewhat the same fashion by which
time locks prevent the opening of the
lock of a safe during certain hours it will
be comparatively easy to introduce into
safe construction chemico-mechanical de-
vices which, during limited time, would
render it either fatal or physically i'm
possible to remain in the vicinity of safe
or vault were the walls or doors tampered
with to such an extent as to allow access
to the interior. BY the use of a very SIM
pie form of apparatus containing potas-
SUM cyanide and snpnuric acid a robber
would expose himself to the deadly fumes
of prussic acid.
Less dangerous, through possibilities of
accident to those regulrarly using a safe,
would be the employment of substances
Gripping a safe blower or forcing him
TO an instantaneous retreat The vola-
tilization OF few drops of ethyl-dichlor-
acetate would cause such proftrse and
weeping that one in the imme-
date neighborhood would be temporarily |
blinded If he persisted in remaining. The |
breaking of a tube of liquid ammonia |
would render immediate withdrawal i'm |
under peril Of suffocation. Sew
eral similar compounds are at the service |

CRABS, 20 YEARS GONE,
RETURN TO THE RIVER
DELAWARE FISHERMEN CANNOT
UNDERSTAND 1T
Decapod crustaceans Again Are PIen.
tiful In the Stream All the Way
from Marcus Hook to
Gloucester

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. o. Fisher
men along the Delaware river. from
Marcus Hook to Gloucester. are mar.
yelling at the mysterious return tc
those waters in great numbers of the
short-t tailed division of the decapot
crustaceans, known along shore as
crabs, which have been growing scarcei
each year for the last two decades
These succulent shell-fish have beer
almost as scarce as hens teeth in the
Delaware. for twenty years. but have
again appeared in vast numbers in all
the streams and estuaries tributary to
the river.
"Wfere are all of the crabs coming
from?"s one of the oldest Gloucester
fishermen was asked yesterday.
Nobody knows, boss" was the re-
ply. "Tve been around here for nigh
on to fifty years, and I've seen 'em
come and go all that time, but 1 never
knowed where they come from nor
where they went
1T must be about twenty years,
continued the old fisherman, since
they went away the last time. We
had plenty of 'em then, and thought we
allurs would have; but one day they
swum away like magic, about the end
of the season. >and the next year you
couldn't get enough crab meat around
here to make a cold lunch for a cor
poral's guard. They stayed away, too.
OF course, the boys got 'em now and
then with a bit of meat and string
and a soap net, and the big shad nets
would have a sprinkllng hanging in
the meshes when it was pulled ashore,
but outside of that there was none to
speak of. We often wondered around
here what in the old Harry become of
'em, but twas too much OF puzzle and
we had to give it up.
"Yes, they're back again, sure
enough, but we don't know no more
where they come from than where they
went to, or where they has been all
this time" u
First reports of the return of crabs
in large quantities came from the lower
Delaware as~far down as 'the Hook"
early in the seas on. Fishermen from
the lower bay, quick to grasp the sig-
nificance of the phenomenon passed the
word along, and the predictions then
made that crabs were coming back have
been fulfilled. From one point after
another in the lower waters the crabs
have moved slowly up the river. Last
week their presence was noticed in
great numbers about Chester, and later
at Red Bank and Washington Park.
They had now invaded the cove at
Gloucester and in few days will be
seen in the small streams and guliies
on this side of the river as well as in
Jersey.
Grabs caught at Gloucester yesterday
were small, but there were many of
hem. Fishermen predict that these
will remain for several years at least,
and will be much improved in quality
lext year.
