To wind up the month in harmony
with what had gone before, came the
loss of the French cruiser Jean
Bart" which sank off the coast of
Morocco.
By way of getting a good start in
March, the Dakota" was dispatched
to Davy Jones' locker. This was one
of the Great Northern railroad's
steamships to Oriental ports, and was
one of the two finest steamships car
rying the American flag.
The wreck took place off the coast
of Shiba province, some eighty miles
from Yokohama, at 5 o'clock on the
afternoon of March 8. It was broad
daylight, and the passengers were on
deck taking snapshots of the coast,
without a thought that disaster i'm
pended. There was no apparent ex-
cuse for the wreck save that the ship
had gone in too close to a treacherous
rock-bound reef. The Dakota" was
within a mile Of the shore at a point
where five miles is not thought too
wide a. berth.
The fishermen of this section stand
in such dread of the dangers Of navi-
CATION that they call the place Devils
Sea-" Even before the Dakota struck,
these sailors knew that an accident
was certain, and fishing boats went
out to her, and took off many of the

SO much fog along the Atlantic sea.
board as was in the past few months,
when she came into collision with a
schooner. The accident happened off
Watch Hill, Rhode Island, far from
any chance of succor. Counting those
drowned, or frozen to death in horri-
BILE anguish, the death list amounted
to 1873.
The "Knowlton," the schooner that
did the damage, picked up. only few
of the victims of this frightful crash,
and most of the small boats that
strove to make shore, either
swamped or brought in their cargo of
passengers frozen stiff in their night
clothes.
Equally shocking was the loss of
the "City of Berlin which came only
a few days later. This ship left Hor-
wich, Eng, for Rotterdam, Holland,
and had almost made harbor, in Hook
of Holland, during freezing gale,
when she foundered.
L1IeSaV1ng crews, pOWerlesS TO OHer
any aid, unable to make Roadway in
the face Of the terrible sea, saw 200
unfortunates drown.
Right atop of this the French cruis-
err "Kleber" crashed into the Ameri-
can steamship "Hugonia" at New Or
leans, and sent her to the bottom.
Crew and passengers were saved, but
the loss of the ship amounted to a
sacrifice of quarter of a million
dollars. The same amount was sent
to the bottom of the Mediterranean a
few days later when the "Imperatrix, ~
an Austrian steamship, sank off the
Isle of Crete,

passengers. The Dakota struck the
reef, listed to. one side, and her bow
was, completely submerged. The pas
sengers all got ashore and rescued
what luggage was in their staterooms.
Then the ship was deserted. Looters
finished up the work of the rocks, and
by the time rescuers went out to 60
over the shipit was found that every
thing had been rifled.
The Congo" and the "Narrissa,"
two steamships, the latter German,
came together in the mouth of the
Ems river, and the Congo" went to
the bottom. Seven lives were lost, as
well as the ship.
Then came the fearful blowing up of
the Jena" at Tou1on, an accident that
much resembled that. incident in Ha-
vana harbor Feb. Is, 1898, when the
Maine" was blown up. One hundred
and twenty sailors, officers and ma
rines were either blown to bits or died
later from their injuries.
This wretched list brough March to
close, and April was ushered in. Not
w oO ouIuOAS, CA0 u1Outu VI VdfAdUl0
weather provided its quota of disas-
tiers.
The money loss of the Dakota" had
been estimated by the insurance com.
panies as meaning matter of five
million dollars. Another million was
added to the list when the "Suevic, -
of the White Star Line, ran on the
rocks near the Lizard lighthouse, in
Southern England. Every passenger
got ashore.
Somewhat better luck favored the
Trafalgar," British battleship of
11,400 tons, which went aground to
ward the end of April at Devils Point
spit of land between Davenport Har-
Dor and Plymouth. She looked for a
time hopeless wreck, but an unprec-
edented tide set in, and on the rise OF
the water, tugs succeeded in hauling
the big warrior off, though it will cost
not less than 100000 to put her back
in the shape she was before the cat
astropke.
April closed with the grounding Of
the mongolia" a steamship of the
Pacific Mail Line, in the inland sea
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1907-07-27

took place three weeks before the
opening of 1907, and the superstitious-
ly inclined might ascribe the saving Of
all the passengers and crew without
loss of life to the fact that the baneful
year had not yet started.
From German shipping to that of
England, misfortune shifted back
again, and the next ship to suf-
fer the hoodoo was the "Naworth
CASTLE" an English steamer Of LOO
tons, which sank off Goodwin Sands
in collision with the Red Star steam
ship "Vaterland." The loss exceeded
half million dollars, and seven lives
were sacrificed In the closing days of
the month the "Seydlitz,' a North Ger
man Lloyd steamship, got in bad
traits, and had to be abandoned with
all its. crew. The sailors and passen-
gers were taken off by the British
cruiser ''Diadem,' and carried to Co.
lqlnbo, Ceylon.
This was serious start for the new
year, but it was trivial compared to
the terrible crop of marine death that
February brought, forth. T.

What Bryce Would Reform.

Mr.. James Bryce, the new ambas-
sador to the United States from Great
Britain, is not reformer, but he says
that should he at any time be in
clined to embark upon a reform move
ment it would be in the direction of
a revision of names for American and
Canadian cities. He especially alb
hors Implications for the reason that
they lead to confusion in the mails and
telegraph. AS an illustration he said
that while in Canada recently he had
occasion to write number of dis
patches to his government, and ad-
dressed them London The dis
patches went to London, Ontario, Can
ada. Now he is convinced that there
should be but one London in the
world. Likewise he believes there
should be but one Washington, and he
was surprised to learn that there are
a dozen states in this country that
have Washingtons. A lover of In
dian names, the. ambassador is of the
opinion that there is no occasion for
duplication in the United States and
Canada, for the Indians have provided
an unlimited supply Of ripping mu-
steal names that may be given to cit
les, rivers and other geographical
points. The wisest thing the people
Of Toronto; Canada, ever did, said Mr..
Bryce, was to adopt the present name
of the city of York, by which the set.

ENORMOUS SACRIFICE :> Ill.,.
( TO NEPTUNE's WRATH
Fiue Hundred and Thirty seven Lives and Ten Million
Dollars Worth of Ships Lost in Four Months

r.
Old Neptune is in a, rage without
precedent in modern times
Since the first of the year 1907 ship
wrecks have. succeeded each other in
such rapid succession that it has been
almost impossible to keep track of
them.
In the brief space of four months no
less than 537 lives and a money loss
in excess of $10,000,000 has been the
terrible price paid to sea navigation.
Right at the very start of the year,
as soon as January got under way, the
list of accidents. began. First the
"Pengworm,' a British steamship of
1900 tons, foundered in the North sea,
and the crew of twenty-four were all
drowned. Immediately after this the
Prince Waldemar," of the Hamburg
American line, went aground off Plum
Point, Kingston.
This misfortune was ascribed indi-
rectly to the earthquake, which re-
moved a lighthouse that would have
warned the captain of danger that
threatened from his closeness to the
shore. Not seeing the signal light, he
assumed that everything was all right,
and the result was the grounding.
Fortunately the loss of life was not
great in this instance, only three being
sacrificed. The property loss, how
ever, was $4,000. Not far from
where the prince Waldemar" went
ashore, within easy gunshot, lies the
wreck of the princess Victoria
Louise" which went ashore last De-
cember. In his anguish at discovering
that he had lost his craft, the captain,
H. Brunswick, licked himself in his
cabin and blew out his brains.
The loss of the t'Victoria Louise"

for only a short time before it was
found that Barring was too complete
Britisher to discharge any Office where
his authority was divided. He was
withdrawn from Cairo and sent to
India.
But the instant his restraining in
f1uence was withdrawn, trouble arose
in Egypt, and forced him to return.
A spirit of hostility to foreigners,
fostered by mobiles out of sympathy
with the ruling regime, eliminated in
a number of riots, and then Arab
Pasha, originally a peasant, headed a
mighty revolt, and in spite of the khe-
dives opposition, seized the city of
Alexandria, with the idea of defending
it against any French or English
troops.
Barring was sent for in haste, and
a British fleet under Admiral Seymour
bombarded Alexandria, which Arab
fired. France had no part in the
prompt steps which England took to
restore order, and in the campaign
that followed under. Lord Wolseley,
English troops did all the fighting.
Hence when the revolt was downed,
the government of Great Britain i'll
sisted that the khedive sign a paper
ending the joint control of England
and France. Then the former nation
assumed the reins of power.
Barring began by breaking up situa-
ton of virtual slavery, and ended the
horrible tortues by which the lower
classes had formerly been kept in sub
lection. He introduced methods Of
sanitation which curtailed the ravages
of disease. Then he attempted that
wonderful system Of irrigation which
has turned wilderness and desert
into blooming garden Of agriculture,
whose residents are prosperous farm

Egypt's virtual maker, Lord Cromer
held for twenty-five years in the
khedive's land.
His is the credit of having created
and revived modern Egypt, a coun'
try SO different from the old land OF
the Nile. that only the surviving monu'
ments recall bygone centuries.
He went to the country when it was
as dead as the mummies Of the ancient
Pharoahs. He leaves today pro

is almost as good as that of Great
Britain, and whose ruler, the progress
i've khedive, is planning to aid the sue
cessor of Lord Cromer to carry the
work of advance to an Infinitely great
er future.
This mighty empire builder, retiring
to rest after almost half a century of
service to the crown, is succeeded by
Sir Eldon Gorst Officially Sir Eldon
will wear the title of British Agent to
Egypt" but the place is one of in
finitely more Importance than this
somewhat modest term would Indicate.
Lord Cromer, during his term of Of
Ace was virtually the ruler of the
land of the Pharoah. The power of the
khedive is dependent entirely on the
good will of England. 1t was the sui
tan of Turkey, who, in 1867 when the
power of Constantinople was hardly
questioned in Cairo, granted to the
hereditary ruler of the country the
right to call himself khedive. Success
i've rulers have maintained the term.
In the curiously mixed distribution
of power that is the khedives portion,
it requires a strong hand back of the
throne This place was filled by Lord
Cromer with amazing skill, for al
though he never yielded a jot Of his
authority, he was nevertheless so dip
lomatic that the khedive seldom had
occasion to complain that his functions
were being usurped.
The outgoing agent and the incom-
ing one are very different in appear
ance and their careers have been along
far different lines.
Cromer looks like President Roose-
welt somewhat, though he is a much
older man. He has the same bulldog

brilliant record. His writing on mill
