Struggle in the Sea

we could not stay on top with that
man clinging to us, and ! begged Of
him TO let loose, but he paid no ct
tentioh, but at last we succeeded in
getting away. There we're about 100
people floating around all close to-
gether, then the timber from the ship
began to come out--of course, the
wreckage, people and all went With
The waves. You could do nothing
but try to keep on top Of the wave.
My! 1t was just terrible to hear
the shrieks and prayers Of men and
women as we driited in the water,
with no hopes whatever Of being
saved. The ship had. suDk-thdre
was mot even . liieboat in sight,
nothing to build up your hopes, and
miles and miles from land. We could
hear people begging others to help
them and telling each other goodbye
1t was terrible. Nothing could
have been worse.
After about three. hours Of floating
In the water lifeboat came near and
asked il there we're any more v -lneni
then he called for them to come but
they bad no oars. Al last we sue
ceeded in getting over to them and
were dragged IN.
Oscar didn't know when we were
taken in to the boat. Something had
struck him on the temple, and had ]
known his condition suppose | could
never have had the courage to keep
up. We had just got en- into this
lifeboat when we saw ship coming,
and in very few minutes they we're
carrying me down to the lower deck,
trying to keep me from freezing. We
we're both nearly gone when we
reached here. We supposed this ship
was not damaged, but in a few min
,utes it was the same horrible cry for
life preservers. This was the first
time we we're separated. They took
me on the ship, and don't know
when they took Oscar on. But for
two hours we didn't know each other
as they had cut my preserver Oh me,
and l didn't know what to do, with
no one to help me, and was SO sick
ICould hardly hold my head up and
was almost frozen from being in the
water SO long.
The ship'was freight boat, the one
that ran into US. On this freight
boat is where we all suffered. Itsank
as far as it could, being all wooden.
and of course IL looked every minute
as II it was going to sink. The
whistle grew fainter and fainter and
the lights went oit. Oh, 1t was
sickening when the second ship be-
gan to go under.
Oscar and met about half an hour
before we were rescued by the Elder,
safe ship that took us to Eureka.
People here that have only read
about this shipwreck and have gone
through the earthquake say they
would take the quake ten times over.
1t was horrible. ] have nothing but
my shoes, not thread Of clothing,
but we are SO thankful TO both get
out alive we think nothing Of what
we lost.
There is lots more to tell, but |
can't tell It now. l am feeling much
better; Of course we are both bruised
and sore. but wen both be all right
in a few days, and then start home.

1t Is the First Trip He Has
Made to Wayne County
In Fourteen Years.
AN OLD TIME BALL PLAYER.
WAS A MEMBER OF THE BIG
LEAGUES IN THE PALMY DAYS
AND WAS WISE ENOUGH TO
SAVE MONEY.

Charley Reynolds, OF Denver, Col
has been visiting relatives at Will
liamsburg during the past week, his
first return to his old home in four
teen years. Reynolds undoubtedly
was the best known base ball player
that Wayne county ever produced. He
was graduated from the rural diamond
behind the meeting house" at Will
liamsburg and after career with sew
eral amateur and semiprofesslonal
teams in this section of Indiana his
wonderful hackstop work attracted
the attention of the big magnates.
Reynolds entered the National league
and played three seasons with Brook
Ign and two or three years with other
National league teams. He was in the
game in the days when salaries for
Catchers We're somewhat higher than
now and he saved his money. He
quit the game Well heeled and went to
Denver. For some years past he has
been connected with the Offices of the
Pullman Car company in that city.
While at Williamsburg last week he

base ball seemed to end with his &C
tive career in the game. In twelve
years" he said. Il have not seen a

Some Contest That Amuse-

SUGGEST SUNDAY GAMES.
NIFTY FOR MANY TO ATTEND
WHO CANNOT SEE A GAME

Although the Richmond Amusement
association has given but little consid-

the organization OF a professional
football team in this city. to play at
the Athletic park, following the base
ball seasons each year, would be Il
profitable venture. 1t is asserted by
some that since Earlham plays the
majority of its games in this city that
the public appetite for the great grid
iron game is in way appeased 9th
ers think not.
There are hundreds Of people in the
city, who would attend a Sunday foot
ball game and who would be glad to

Eariham games on account of bust

venture might be profitable.

says that the venture might pay. The

may give the project some consider

The "Howling Host" was organized

the most desperate struggle ever wag-
