mediately.
'"The boat returned at $50 half full

Terrible Experience.
"The ST. Cuthberts officers and crew
had a terrible story to relate At mid
night Saturday smoke issued from the
ventilators. The second officer rushed
to theb ridge to warn the captain, and
at this instant an explosion blew all
the forward hatchzs into the air, de-
stroyed half the bridge and set the
bridge atlre.
The poisonous fumes Of burning oil
drove the helmsman from the wheel
and he put the vessel about, heading it
into the wind. Captain Hawke fell To
the deck. frightfully burned and blind
ed temporarily.
"The Cosmopolitan crew. maddened
With fear. tugged at the life boats
without unchecking theb races. The
first launched smashed in lowering and
all but one or two of the inmates were
drowned, including the third officer.
Another small boat. however, was
lowered successfully at o'clock. and
the nine passengers remained in 1t until
the following afternoon at 4.
"The crew finally rallied and fought
the flames desperately for thirty-six
hours.
"Ships must have passed close dur
ing the gale which ragged uniterruptedly
yet none could be seen from the St
Cuthbert.
"The progress of the fire could not
be checked. The foremast melted and
crashed across the forerai precipitat-
ing man from the crews nest into tile
seething flames beneath. Nine Stow
aways were aboard and several were
cut off from the stern and burned rc
death helplessly.
"The cargo was composed of matches
rags, fusil oil, parahne, willow war,
and other inhamables. It was badly
slowed. which caused the vessel to lis
dreadfully. whereby the lowering o.
boats was hazardous and the live.
were lost.
"The officers believe the derelic
wherefrom smoke was pouring in dens,

"The crew and stowaways both re-

RHEUMATISM IS
OVERCOME NOW
Science Proves It On.y a
Symptom Of Inactive
Feeble Kidneys

Recent hospital reports show that the
dread disease, rheumatism, is sieadily in
creasing throughout the country. All
known means Of relief are being sug-
gested to save the great amount Of suffer-
ing this winter, especially among those
who are not in a position to pack up and
visit the noted health resorts to be treat
ed Recent tests prove rheumatism not ex-
actly a disease in itself but a severe
symptom Of kidney trouble a condition
caused by clogged up pores Of the enmin-
ative tissues in the kidneys which fail to
filter the poisonous waste matter and uric
acid from the blood, permitting these
substances to remain in the veins and de-
compose, usually settling about the joints
and muscles, causing the intense pain,
swelling and stiffness of rheumatism.
A well-known specialist, who has prob
ably treated more cases of rheumatism
than anyone else. and who is also the
most successful, gives the following Sim
pie treatment. which is harmless and in
expensive. and so simple that anybody
can mix it at home.
The ingredients are: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparlla, three ounces. Go to any
good prescription pharmacy and get these
three vegetable ingredients and mix them
by shaking in a bottle, taking as a dose
a teaspoonful after each meal and again
at bedtime
There is nothing better in the world for
bacSache, kidney and bladder trouble
too. Such symptoms as frequent and pain
ful urination, soreness. weakness, gem
eral and nervous debility are caused by
certain acids and poisonous waste matter,
decayed tissue. etc, in the blood. which
the kidneys will clear and purify after a
few doses q this prescription.
