The possibility. which has been sug-

Hestia, a number of tugs and other craft
put out from this port early today for
Seal cove, Grand Manan island, where
the Hestia struck on ledge early yes
terday morning and where probably more
than a score of persons persisted. The eff
forts of the volunteer rescuers were CEN
tered on the locating of the little boat
which. overcrowded with men. was the
last to leave the side of the Hestia.
The actual time of the striking of the
steamer on the shoal was 10 yesterday
morning, according to Information receiv-
ed here early this morning from Grand
Manan. This fact was given by Third
Mate Stewart, one of the men rescued
now at the station
| The condition of the six men rescued
by the life savers was ptiable. Left on
the wrecked vessel, with the last boat
gone. and with no apparent chance of res
cue. the mems nerves gave way under the
strain. and when taken off by the life
savers We're in an exhausted condition.
Third Mate Stewart broke down and
cried when taken into the lifeboat and it
was a long time before any information
could be obtained from him.
Although concedng the important ee-
ment of danger from the strong and
treacherous tides for which the Bay of
Fundy is famed, the mariners of the port
were optimistic today regarding the prob
ability of the survival of the little boat,
and expected that one of the rescuing
fleet would pick it up.
That the vessel would be a total loss
was the belief among st, John seafaring
men today.

They Grow Hair
Certain Ingredients if Properly

Resorcin is one of the most eff

cred. Beta-napthol is a most power
full, yet absolutely safe germicide and
antiseptic, which prevents develop
ment of germ matter, and creates a
clean, healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a color
ing matter or dye. is an ingredient
well established for it's power to re-
store natural color to human hair.
Borax, because of it's well-defined
Softening and cleansing properties.
is most useful in the treatment of
scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine
acts as q stimulant to the hair bulbs,
and has nourishing influence. Alco-
hol is indispensable in medicine be-
cause of its antiseptic, stimulating
and preservative qualities.
