FILLED SHIP WiTH chEARIEs.
Remarkable Experience OF Liner In .
Tropical Storm.

1t happened In the night, and, &C.
cording to the yarn spun by Capt.
Sandberg of the Panama liner City Of
Para, it mast have been 4 night Of
terror.
The ship was midway between AGA
Julia and San Jose de Guatemala,
which is latitude in which the un.
usual is expected. The time was be.
tween one and two o'clock in the
morning and ii was very dark. Sud.
denly an electric storm of great feroc-
lty came up from revolutionary re-
pubic on the starboard quarter. nc.
companied by waterspouts, ST. Elmo's
nre, and a great flock of canary birds
Everyone knows that st. Elmo's fire
and waterspouts are common off the
coast of Acajutla, but the canary birds
are novelty
AT the first stroke the lightning blew
out the fuse in the ships dynamo and
she became as dark as an abandoned
trolley car. Then the ST. Elmo's fire lit
on the fore-topmast and split the gilt
oall at the top Of the topmast exactly
into two hemispheres One of these
fell into the water; the other struck
the bridge and almost hit Second OFF,
Ger Heckert.
Third Officer Zual, who had been OF
watch below, ran on deck. Ali the pas
sengers followed Zual to the deck. and
the captain says that the passengers
tnought the end Of the world had
come. The storm was bad enough. but
1t was the birds that flew in the faces
OF the startled passengers that caused
indescribable terror. ~
1t lasted for an hour, and in the
morning, when the storm had rassed
and the sun rose, there on .thc: .>eks,
covering the awnings and almost fill
ing the boats dashed on the upper
deck, were thousands of, dead. and dy-
Ing canary birds. Capt. Sandberg says
there were thousands OF them. Some
OF them had blundered into the state.
rooms In the darkness after the. cleo.
trio lights were out.
So the City of Para came safely
through: the storm when it rained
canary birds, all save the gilt bali at
the top OF the foretopmast, half OF
which was lost overboard.-SanF Fran.
