Carmania, which arrived recently from
Liverpool, as it was plunging through
the waves three hours after dawn two
days before her landing. Capt. r. c.
War;, who was on the bridge, got his
glasses on the speck and made it out
when it bobbed up on top of a wave
to be tisherman's dory with man

The big ship slowed down and
headed for the castaway. 1t was too
rough to launch boat and Capt,
War; decided TO try the trick, seldom
attempted, Of picking up the man
from his ship.
1t was early for passengers to get
up, but when the liner stopped the
port rails were soon swarming with
folk from the first and second cabin
and steerage. 1t was a case for a vol
unteer on the life line, and several
men, including some passengers
wanted TO undertake the job The
man chosen was Able Seaman James
Breen, a stocky, blonde Briton. He
was lowered over the side by his ship
mates after Capt. War; had brought
the ship carefully near the tiny dory.
Breen tried to step aboard just as the
dory sweryed from the ships side, but
his left foot struck the gunwale and
he tumbled into the sea. His ship
mates then yanked him up and he
climbed into the dory.
He shook the French fisherman,
who moved Just enough to show he
still was alive. Then Breen passed a
line under his arms and made it fast
In a jitfy the Frenchman was hauled
aboard the liner. Breen was dragged
aboard by the same line.
Next day the passengers learned
through a special edition of the ships

chewed up about six inches OF tarred
rope to keep his tongue from stiffen-

water soak into him to supply the
demand of his body for moisture.

to excite Mr.. Cookers interest most
was an old and quaint engraving Of q

of the kind, in a passage leading to

There are few buildings in Ireland
like Glencairne. Most Of the great
residential houses in this country
were erected in the eighteenth cen
fury, when domestic architecture was
conceived in somewhat commonplace
vein. Glencairne Is rot unique, but
is certainly exceptional in Ireland. 1t
Is a noble pile, crowned with an Irish
tower in the center and beautifully
chaste Italian porticO running from
the hall door on the west, round the
building to the south, and Sc to the
gardens. The house is built of cut
granite, and part Of the wall of the

the other side of the hall is Mr.
Cookers own study. Here OH the wall
