FEAR THIRTEEN,
AOR|FT ON LAKE.
DIED IN STORM
Hope Abandoned for Captain Bell
and Members of Crew Who
Took to Lifeboat,
-1-
THINK EXPOSURE TO COLD
WOULD SURELY BE FATAL
Survivors, Rescued by Ship, Tell
Story of Escape from
Burning Boat.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 1~e.-fIope of
rescuing Captain Thomas Bell and the
twelve men of his crew, who escaped
from the burning steamer Clarion
Wednesday night, was abandoned to-
day. Local vesselmen, while admit
ting that the iifeboat had air chambers
and was non-cspsizable Theoretically,
expressed themselves as unable to be-
lieve that the sailors could have with
stood the long exposure in the Icy
spray.
Captain p. ]. Broderick. manager of
the Great Lakes Towing Company, who
yesterday sent the steel tug Alva B. to
look for the lifeboat, said:
THE men have, perhaps. n chance
in a thousand. That chance Is that the
wind may have driven them ashore
somewhere along Point Pelce, and that
they have not yet been able to report
themselves"
The Alva has orders to report from
Kingsville, Ont, as loon as she dis
covers traces of the men or the boat.
She was white with Ice before she
passed the breakwater here going out.

ENGINEER TELLS STORY
OF RESCUE FROM WRECK.

BUFFALO, Dec. 10.-Chfef Engineer
A. e. WEIGH, of the Inflated Anchor
Line steamer Clarion, who arrived here
with the five survivors who were taken
off the burning steamer, at the offices
of the Anchor Line, owner of the boat,
today told a thrilling story of their ex-
perinces. WEIGH was in charge of the
crew aft when the fire broke out. He
saw Mate Thompson run below when
the alarm was given.
He never returned said WEIGH. IL
must have been overcome by the
smoke which soon began to roll out OF
the ~i.atchways in dense volumes. Thu
fire spread so quickly that there was
no time for a ,escue. In an incredit-
ably short time the hold of the vessel
was a seetliing mass of flames, and the
boat. owing to the loss OF her steer
ing gear, was completely out of hand.
I'VE saw Captain Bell and the for
ward crew launching the big metallic
lifeboat, and we turned to the light
wooden boat on the davits aft. Her
lines were coated with ice, and long
before we got them clear Captain Bell
and tile other members of the crew
had succeeded in getting away in tho
larger boat. FL
In trying to launch our iifehoat
poor McCauley missed his footing and
fell into the water. 1t was pitch dark
except for the glare from the hold
and we never saw him again.
Our boat was swarnped by a big
roller the moment it touched the water
There we were with q roaring furnace
beneath our feet and without a boat
ever if one could live in such a sea.
For four hours we fought the flames
to keep the Clarion above the water as
long as possible in the hope of rescue
The intense Heat had driven us to about
the Init OF enduranee when we We're
rescued by the HANNA"
Welch is certain the boat in which
Captain Bell and the twelve men esr
capped capsized, as 1t was not sighted
after it put out. Had the boa kept
afioat WEIGH says he is sure Captain
Bell would have tried to take off the
men still on the steamer.

PLANE
FOR PENN5Y v FORK
| SHOWN TO BOARD
Call for Many Improvements at
Market Street Station and
Saybrook Place.

The, Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany plans extensive Improvement at
the Market street station to provide for
the ligh-spead service between New
ark and New York, In addition to the
rapid-transit trains TO be run from the
proposed Sayhrook place terminal.
Erank /. Shepperd, general superin-
tendefft OF the Pennsylvania, has pre-
sentod fne plans. for the\ contemplated
improvements at tho Market street sta
ton, and also for the Saybrook place
terminal, to the Board of Works.
%While the Market street plans have
all been worked out in detail, yet Mr..
Shcpperd said his company was not
ready to offer them lin ain official man
ner, ais there are some legal matters
that must be attended TO first. and he
asked that city Counsel James n.
Nugent confer with the counsel of his
as to the legality of the de-
sired improvements. This was agreed
to.
There were some objections to the
proposed Saybrook place terminal BY
several of the commissioners, who
thought the railroad company should
construct an underground loop as far
as High street HEAR the Court House,
SO as to provide better service for
people living in that section OF the city.
4Mr. Shepherd said that his company.
81 far as he knew, did not contemplate
any underground system in this city,
but tho running of rapid-transit trains
hetween Newark and New York would
give q direct and quicker service.
1t is expected that in a week on SO
tile railroad company viii present COM
plete ,plans OF its proposed improve
ments. which VIII make considerable
changes at the Market street station
and also in and aroun ~Saybrook place.
1.-THE IMPROVEMENTS at the Market
street station alone. call for two more
tracks, which will be used solely for
h~igh-speed Service trains, which will
run Object from Newark to either Cort-
iandts sThirty-fourth or Forty-sccond
streets. Passengers will have to trans
fer at Harrison for the tunnels trains,
which will not stop in Jersey City.

pletely as though I had never entered

In my friendships, Listen to me- and
her voice grew low and sweet. Let
me appeal to your imagination. This
light adventure shall be a souvenir for
your old age. One night Romance
stepped into your life and out of 1t
Think! There will always be the same
charm. the same mystery, the same en-
chantment. Knowing nothing of me.
there will follow no disillusions, no dis

your fancy Wills. Do you understand
me?"
He nodded.
Nothing" she proceeded, nothing
lasts so long in the recollection as a
pleasant mystery. In other days, in
other times " Well, on my side
I shall recall this night pleasantly.
Without knowing it. you have given me
a new footthold in life. I did not be-

could keep to the lettersof his bargain.
Presently you will forget the chagrin.
Good night! And do not lean out oil

You are right" he said reluctantly

her wineglass. She understood his pur-
pose and essayed to stop him.

said.
She let her hand fall. He took the
glass, held 1t against the light to SET
where her lips had touched it. Care
fully he poured out the wine from the
opposite side and kissed the rim.

"You may kiss my hand, Mr.. Hill

He bent quickly and kissed, not the
hand, but the wrist where the marks of
his fingers still remained family. He
squared himself, and gazed long and
SteduidSlly TITO ner eyes. In tnat mo-
ment he seemed to her positively hand
some; and there was a futter in her
heart that she was unable to define.
On his part he realized the sooner he
was gone the better; there was a limit
to his self-control. He gained
the street somehow. There he stopped
and turned. Did the curtain move?
He wasn't sure; but he raised his hat.
