" abandoned the effort, thinking that
the water inside was so high as to
preclude the possibility of any one
still living.
Worn out by his efforts and I'M
nerved by the sound of the retreating
footsteps of his companions, Wiley
slipped from the table and went I'M
der. With a great effort, however, he
succeeded in holding to ledge and
pulling his head above water in the
svlight again But the hold was a pre-
carious and difficult one, and he knew
that ne could not last long. Just as he
was about to give up hope he noticed
that the water was slowly receding.
At first he did not believe his senses,
but as he watched the shifting mark
of the water on the side of the sky
light his first impression was con-
hImed After a time, which to the
exhausted man seemed almost an
eternity, he was able to abandon his
uneasy perch and try the door again.
It yielded to his efforts, and as it
swung open the rush of water carried
him in safety on the deck. He lay
there exhausted until the crew of the
| Dynamo saw him and came to his
rescue.

rapidly rising about him, Harry VIII

escaped death the other morning by
remarkable intervention Of the fates

standing on tip-toe on table, he was
able to raise his nose and mouth

breathing space that still remained IN

don the fight and resign himself to the
| inevitable, the water began receding
with the ebbing tide, and in a short
time he was able to force the cabin
door and reach the upper deck. The
| boat had sunk in shallow water.
The Quail was run down by the
liner Dynamo, while Wiley and the
rest OF the crew were asleep in the
cabin. With the exception OF the
mate, the men were able to escape,
and were taken off later by the boats
of the Dynamo. Wiley awoke, how
ever to find the water rushing into
the cabin through the windows. He
jumped out of his bunk and made for
the door as fast as he could, but the
water, which already filled the cabin
up to Willey's waist, held 1t tight. He
struggled fiercely, desperately, to pull
1t open, but in vain. The rapidly ris'

The School in the New Forest.

for the purpose OF establishing the

had maligned.

society.

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION

The panicky condition through
Twhich the country is passing has IN
sEugurated a campaign of education

financial question viewed from its
Spanking side. The comments OF the
Eyub1ic press, current magazine dis
s-srssion and the presidents message,
AOlIUwed by the flood of bills thrust
xHpon congress, shows that this is the
s8ne question actively considered by
szne public mind today.
The message covered a multitude
on important topics, but the country
~wffI thrust them all aside to consider
AShe one thing needful to act as a
xremedy for our present ills. The
dEar1n and state rights, the corpora
G1ons and the big stock are subjects

ssER why public men can predict that
tEhere will be no tariff revision az

ufe opinion.
The people are alive to the ques-
zion of banking as it affects COM
mercial life, and they will follow
with interest the development OF
remedial legislation. This education

a remedy for the removal of wildcat
