A frtghtful scene followed. The life saw

wreck The very last ball managed TO land
the line across the main topsail brace. but
no one could reach II. There hung the
slender thread upon which hundreds OF
lives depended and not man stirred to-

the encouraging shouts of the wreckers on
shore mingled In the roar and swish of the
mountainous waves that shook the vessel
and drove the hundreds OF terror stricken
men and women higher and higher into the
rore, main and mizzin rigging.
Slowly the useless line was drawn hack
to the beach. The ship and it's passengers
were beyond all earthly assistance and
were abandoned through the following
night. In the morning all who were alive
were rescued, but 2s1 lives were lost.

gers and crew. 30 miles northeast of the
Matanila reef. on October s. 1885 The
Evening Star was on her way from New
York to New Orleans, and was rolled about
for a long time in a constantly increasing
storm. At ono o'clock on the morning OF
October vast mountain OF water fell
on the deck and stove in the starboard for.

erected to keep the water out. but IT was
swept away. Four times the crew rebuilt
the bulkhead. only to see the waves tear

How many people are there who know

what the old gray Scotland Lightship stands
Tor at the entrance to New York harbor
How many know that 1t is a floating mon
ument OF great ocean tragedy On De-
cember /, 1856, the steamship Scotland, OF
the National Navigation company, col
lided with the ship Kate Deyer and sank
her with many OF her crew. Thanks to
her immense strength, the Scotland waA
not sunk, but her bow was smashed and
she leaked badly. The water gained in
her until the men at the engines were sub
merged to their waists.
Captain Hall, of the Scotland, headed the
ship under a full head OF steam for the
Sandy Hook shore There was nothing to
do but to beach her. Meanwhile the pilot
Of the lost Kate Deyer staggered up and
down the deck saying that he did not care
d-n 80 long as his own life was saved
|, Well the Scotland managed to strike
the beach Just as the water reached her
furnace fires, and all on board were saved
To mark the site of the wreck a light
ship was anchored there. 1t was called the
Scotland Wreck Lghtship But gradually
the wreck worked itself down into the sand
and disappeared. The name of the light
ship was then changed to the Scotland
Lightship. And that is the almost forgot
ten story of how II came TO be-
OF course everybody has heard how sweet
Margaret Fuller, the American authoress
who became the Countess Ossill, was
drowned within sight 70 her native land
with her child in her arms. That was a
famous wreck. The ship Elizabeth, bound
from L'eghorn and Gibraltar to New York,
had lost its captain by smallpox. The
little daughter of Countess Ossili was also
seized with the diseaes. but recovered, to
perish presently on her dying mothers
bosom.
The Elizabeth went ashore about five
miles east Of the Fire Island lighthouse on
July r. 1850, in tremendous storm. Among
those who were lost was a brother OF
Charles Sumner. The shore was strewn
for miles with wreckage, the wind and
waves having literally torn the ship to
pieces. The statue OF John c. Calhoun was
washed ashore. Many Of the passengers
managed to cling to plsnks until they were
picked up. Charles Sumner wandered up
and down the shore for days vainly search
ing for the body OF his brother
Two FrishtfuI Disasters.
Perhaps the most frightful wreck on the
American coast was that OF the White Star
steamship Atlantic at Marrs island, near
Halifax, at o'clock in the morning OF
March 81, 1s7S Five hundred and sixty
persisted out of a total OF sTs persons.
The disaster was 50 tremendous that the
newspapers at first regarded the news as an
attempt TO perpetrate cruel April fool
hoax.
Without the slightest warning the
steamer struck on the rock The sea car
ried away all the port boats. Before the
weather boats could be cleared the shin
rolled over. The sounds that arose from
below decks were soul stirring Most OF
the women and children were down there
in the darkness wailing pitifuily.
The captain ordered the passengers TO
climb into the rigging and TO crowd for
ward. where the wreck was highest and
out OF reach of the waves. The officers OF
the ship got a line TO a rock about forty
yards distant and then managed 10 get
| four other lines across. About 800 people
