Inexhaustible In its mystic signiii-
canoe, the Holy Week in Rome, how
ever familiar to the memory or Inn
agination, stirs always a renewed
wonder in those who witness it.
Above all else Rome is city OF
memories. The walls and arches of
imperial days, the Renaissance pal
aces, and the churches which mark
every step in the long march from
primitive Christianity to papai SUI
premacy-these stamp themselves on
the mind. The incongruous modern
elements are as transitory in their
impression as is the whirling dust
from a motor car blown past the
tombs on the Appian Way.
The walls of Aurelian, the statue Of
Marcus Aurelius, benignant on the
capitol, the august disarray OF the
Forum-these are actual and imperish-
able. So. too, is the spacious splen-
dor of St. Peters, with its solemn
sequence of ritual. in which, as the
Holy Week advances, so mystic and
superb a drama of divinity is en-
acted.
There are many moods In which
to approach the great Easter services
in the great papal city. from that of
the devote to whom the ever-burnins
lamps round the apostles tomb marx
a spot only less sacred than that OF
the holy sepulcher itself, to that oil
the casual sight-seer, who f1utters his
Baedeker unabashed through the aw-
full mystery of the mass. Perhaps
those do not see least of the signifi-
canoe who look on the magnificent
ceremonies with haunting conscious
ness of Romes twofold greatness, and
who never quite lose sight of the city
of the Caesars In the city of the
saints
It is impossible even to approach
St Peters, where most of us choose
to see the services, in spite of the RI
val claims of the Lateran. mother OF

take to the little boats and trust to

vessel.
A full thousand miles separated
them from the nearest shore, that Of
South America. AS the last man left

torch was applied to her that she
might not continue to float aimlessly
about, menace to other ships. For
a time after the start the occupants
of the two boats kept each other in
sight, but eventually became separat-

Day and night, week after week, the
occupants of Kuhlmann's boat main
tanned constant watch for the sail

life to them.
At last, after eight weeks of the
most terrible mental and physical
suffering, the Cambuskeneth hove in

had been set at the first warning, was
answered and few minutes later the
half-famished, shipwrecked waits were
safe on board the big vessel.
There they were cared for as ten
derly and carefully as the facilities al
hand would permit, but so serious was
the condition of all the men that II

ing in horror and hardship any trag-
edy Of the deep ever told, was brought
here the other day by William Kuhi-
mann, a seaman, who was passenger
on the steamer yoltaire from South
American ports.
Kuhlmann is one Of six survivors OF
the crew of the American ship Title
z. Starbuck, which was abandoned
last August more than a thousand
miles of the Pacific coast of South
America. He and his companions
were rescued by British ship after
drifting about on the ocean for eight
weeks in an open boat.
Two of the six men who had lived
so long in the little craft died after
succor had come to them, and Kuhl
mann spent many weeks in a hospital
at Valparaiso recovering from the eff
fects of his terrible experience.
No word ever has been received
from another boat which put OF from
the Starbuck when she was aban
