It was not the fact Of the brig being
Invisible that caused me uneasiness,
but the startling knowledge that a
great convulsion of the elements was
about to burst upon us.
The dark bank I had at first noticed
low down on the horizon had risen
rapidly until the entire heavens were
obscured. The atmosphere had grown
dense, and the darkness was simply
intense, relieved only by the now dis
mantled hulk, which occasionally
threw out a CLEAN of light.
A strange, indefnable, rushing sound
pervaded the air, a slight ripple rufied
the stagnant waters, a cold breath Of
air famed my cheek, while under the
black, frowning clouds I saw a white
line rapidly rushing upon us. 4
Louder and louder grew the sounds.
The men gazed at one another aghast.

turning abruptly, / walked aft, having

the longboat out If you like and take
four of the boys for a crew to pull you

Well, come out on the piazza. We

love to listen to the roar Of the surf.

Light a fresh cigar. You have nothing
like them in the states, I can assure
you of that. And now for my yarn.
Many years ago I was chief mate
on board Of a down east brig engaged
in the South American trade. The
captain was good enough at heart, but
he did love a gold dollar SO much that
the passion of avarice at times warped
the better and prevailing instincts Of
his nature.
I was young, careless and free, with
out a soul living I could claim as kin,
and as happy in my lone state as you
can well imagine. I had but little
responsibility on my shoulders, the
skipper taking entire control, even to
details.

line, outward bound, and upon the
%eventful night in question, which was
truly an era in my life, I had the first
watch. The wind was light and the
ocean as calm as though asleep.
We had all our light kites set to WOO
the gentle breeze, running through the
water not over three knots an hour.
Absorbed in my own thoughts and re-
Elections, I was leaning idly over the
taffrail watching the bubbles. and phos-
phorescent light playing about the rest

from the man at the wheel brought
me to myself.

Quired, pointing over the quarter.
I gazed in the direction pointed out
by the man and, to my intense sur
prise, saw a bright light, not unlike a
ball Of fire, which threw a lurid, tremu-
lous light across the dark waters.
ut can't be the moon, sir?" said the
seaman, with an inquiring look.

THE HURRICANE BURST UPON Us IN L

as to bear before it, and the next in
slant the hurricane burst upon us in
all its fury.
The shrek of the tempest drowned
my voice. The oars were dashed from
the sailors hands, while they in ter
ror threw themselves down in the bot
tom Of the boat.
In an agony Of terror Marie chung
to me, while 1 with all my strength
and skill managed to keep the boat
dead before the gale.
On rushed the frail structure through
the murky darkness, enveloped in n
whirl of foam which half blinded me
as the salt spray filed my eyes. The
water was torn up by barrelfuls and
hurled with cutting force and violence
through the air.
Drenched to the skin, with the deli
cate girl crouching by my side wrap
ped up in all the spare coats I could
muster, 1 kept watch during the long
hours of that eventful night.
How we ever escaped destruction a
merciful Providence alone can tell, but
with daylight the fierce gale showed
signs of abating, and by noon we were
sailing upon a summer sea. A rough
temporary sail had been rugged and
the boats head directed toward the
land. for, of course. we had given up
all hope of seeing the brig, for awhile
at least. If we would be saved we
had got to rely upon our own re-
sources. Carefully l dealt out a slim
allowance of. bread and water from
the scanty supplies which were in
the stern sheets, c%autioning the men
to make the precious fluid go as far
as possible.
I could enlarge upon the sufferings
we endured, tell you about the calm
days which succeeded, how the scorch-
our heads and how the men with noble
generosity surrendered their few drops
Of water to the pale, suffering woman,
who v murmured once, though her
brain was all but On fire and her
tongue parched and swollen in her
mouth.
You can imagine my feelings when
the last crumb of bread was exhausted
and the beaker had been drained dry.
Death in it's most terrible form, with
the attending horrors Of hunger and
thirst, stared us in the face, and !
groaned in anguish as 1 gazed upon
the now inanimate form of the poor
girl. She was dying-perhaps dead
already-and 1 stretched myself by
her side to meet the fate l was power
less to avert.
Well, We were picked up shortly
after by a Brazilian fishing boat,
placed aboard a man-of-war cruising
IN the coast, and the surgeon soon
had us under his care. Strange to
say, none of us succumbed to the
%privations we had undergone, but we
all recovered to congratulate n an
other upon our escape. The Senior
Jose Gonzales fairly Rugged me in his
delight at the escape Of his daughter
and insisted upon my making his resi-
dence my home. The men were re-
warded by him beyond their most san
guine hopes, and well, I rewarded
myself by marrying the fair heiress,
and when her father died a few years
ago 1 assumed full control of the es-
tates.
As for the old brig and Captain
Thompson, neither was ever seen or
heard from after the terrible storm
which swept the coast Of South Amer
lea, strewing its shores with the wreck
Of many a noble craft.

TO BUILD A LINE
DIRECT TO RUSK

Definite announcement is made
from official sources that the Texas
and New Orleans railway will build to
the state peniteniary at Rusk from
some point on it's Beaumont-Dallas
line, probably from Reklaw or an ad.
jacent station. For more than a year
rumors have been rife that such would
be done to forestall the extension of
the state railroad, but now the an
nouncement comes authoritatively.
Within the coming month actual
construction work will be started. In
Houston and elsewhere the railroad
company is now forming its corps of
road builders and these are TO be sent
to the place as soon as the last and
conclusive survey of route is made.
This is now being done and is expect
ed to be finished within two weeks or
such matter of time. The distance to
be built is hardly more than ten
miles, but it will afford a direct out
let to the east for the products of the
Rusk penitentiary, instead of via
Jacksonville to make connection there
with the Texas and New Orleans
Houston Chronicle.

Died at go Royal street, Palestine
Texas, September II, 1907, Matte
Waters Moore, aged years and 8
days, beloved daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. o. Moore.
Again we are called upon to mourn
the death of one of a large connection,
and many hearts will grieve with the
bereaved parents over this cherished
little one In her death the household
has sustained a heavy blow. She was
beloved of all. both old and young, and
was the darling pet of the household.
Her beauty, her loneliness of charac-
ter, and her winning smile, made her
adored by all who knew her. She was
only i'll for a few days, and at times
suffered very much, but was always
4 gentle patient. While missing her
bright presence here, another little
angel is added to the heavenly hearts,
another little voice to the celestial
choir.
Some sweet angel voice hath called
her away, and passing on beam Of
light through the everlasting doors
she has entered the realm OF peace,
where resting among the holy limo
cents, in supreme and perfect love,
she will know sin nor sorrow never
more.
Love that draws the heart 80 ire
sistibly will forge chain from earth
10 heaven, a golden chain that will
never be broken, and love viii draw
after her the hearts that loved her
even TO heaven.
Dread no more the king Of terrors,
for Jesus, the strongest, noblest friend
If all, has conquered death, and open
ed unto us the doors Of everlasting
life. Her feet have passed that way
and illumined the path we all must
tread, and looking with this faith. on
he face Of death, we find her an an
gel of light, come only TO guide US
Home" into realms of endless day
Is it not lifting the priceless jewel
from the casket, for they shall be
mine in the day that l make up my
Jewels" said God?
AS the sweet flower that paints the
morn,
But withers in the rising day,
Thus lovely was this infant drawn,
Thus swiftly fled its life away.
It died ere its expanding soul
Had ever burst with wrong desire;
Had ever spurned at heavens control,
Or even quenched it's sacred fire.
It died to sin, it died to cares,
But for a moment felt the rod;
0, mourner, such the Lord declares,
D, such are the children Of our God"

Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix.
Houston.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Nov. 1.-The week be.
ginning today contains a series of no.
table anniversaries for the Rev. DR..
Morgan Dix, the venerable rector of
historic Trinity church. Today was
the eightieth birthday of DR.. Dix and
almost simultaneously comes the fifty
fifth anniversary of his ordination and
his forty-fifth anniversary as rector of
Trinity. That the trip anniversary is
to be made the occasion for notable
celebration goes without saying
among all those who know in what
high esteem DR.. Dix is held by the
members of his immensely wealthy
parish. Practically all DR.. Dix's min
isterial life has been spent in Trinity
parish, and nearly half century of ii
has been as rector of Trinity church.
He was born in this city on November
l, 1927, the son of General John A.
Dix, governor of New York state. He
was graduated from Columbia Col
lege in 1S4S, and in 1852 he was or
dained. He at once began the work in
Trinity parish, which has since be-
come his LIES work, by becoming
clergyman at st. Johns Chapel, part
of Trinity parish.
There was one year he spent in
Philadelphia, but he was soon back at
his old post. In 1862 he was made
Rector of Trinity, which position he
has held ever since. Prosperity be-
gan to shine on Trinity from that
year. Before that there were half
dozen New York parishes equally
1sIExs "a kancially Today It owns
&c cffice buildings, numerous tene-
ments ard church property Of great
value In all. Trinity's wealth is esti-
mated at more than $100,000,000.
DR.. Dix is wealthy in his own right
He gives much to charity and is inter
ested in many philanthropic under
taldngs. 1t is said that he has Off
ciated at more notable weddings than
any other clergyman in New York.
More than once he has declined
bishopric that would take him away
from Trinity.
