when within hundred yards he dropped all
but his head below water, and, fearing TO lose
him altogether. | so snapped him.
Meantime, the canoe having probably dritted
to within eighty yards, the fancy struck me to
have a try at him with my pistol the upper
third of his head being in full view. The first
shot trife too high; but at the second

any of them were concerned until one
of the passengers from Messina asked
whether the earthquake had damaged

Sicihan threw himself on the deck

deavored to comfort him he continued
to bewail his fate.
Others thronged about the interpre-

about the disaster and as each new
detail showing the great loss OF life
was related those coming from the
earthquake region wept and wrung
their hands or ran shrieking about the
deck. So distressing did the scene be-
