there appears to be no vestige Of

those same men incoming about the
docks upon many and many a return
"trip, all Of them forever waiting for

"The simple fact that they are on
the waiting list show that they were
guihy of no negligence I'm losing

WHY A SKIPPER
STAYS BY A SHIP

"A good many folks asked when
Captain Sealby OF the Republic stuck
to his ship until the sticks were
submerged and then took a cold
swim for it before he was picked up
why this was necessary, or rather
why it wasn't pltin foolish" said a
New York man who followed the sea
for many years. "It's an old, old
tradition among skipper that they
shall stick by their ships to the
finish, that they shall go down with
their ships Il It comes to that.
-.Now, thcs'e isn't any tino.ure OF
bravado about this point Of view Of
the shippers. They look upon 1t
quite as part of the game. They.
regard the business OF Standing by
their vessels til the finish as quite
as much part of their duty as be-,
ing on the bridge in a fog.
The shippers who feel themselves
directly or indirectly responsible for
the loss of their ships actually want
to go down with their vessels, and
they make the business a sort of
suicide. Not so with the shippers
who feel that they are in no wise
responsible for losing their vessels.
They have no idea or committing
suicide by sticking to their ships
Their one idea is to stick that's all.
%There may be a pretty fine shade
Of difference here, but it's a differ
ence all the same. To put 1t in an
mher way, the captain who has lost
his ship through what he Knows to
be is neglect wants the waters of
the sea to cover his head; whereas
the other captain is aouuated solely
by the tradition which, whe her 1t !
seems sensible to the common view I
or not, absolutely requires the COM
manding officer Of a sinking vessel
ITO remain by her until the very end.
Naming no names, few years
ago a big Pacific liner running be-
tween Sam Francisco and Yokohama
hit a submerged rock while cropping
her way toward the Golden Gate in
a fog. Now, the captain OF this
steamer had no right to try through
the Gate in that heavy fog. He had
passed the Faral!oncs and he knew
pretty we'll where he was--that is TO
say, that he was within only few
miles of the gate and that 1t was his
business to drop his mudhook and
wait for the fog to lift before pro- =,
ceeding amy further,
"But he'd made a swift voyage
from Yokohama, and he wanted TO
break a line record by getting into
San Francisco bay at once, and so
he tried to feel his way through the
fog past the Gate, 1t was a bad bit
of feeling, and he hit the sunken
rock several miles above the Gate. |
Nearly the whole keel was torn from
his ship and whole lot Of lives were
lost, including that of United
States consul general at a Chinese
city and his family,
5'MOst of the passengers were
tucked into the boats and CARRIED to
safety before the steamer went down
in such deep water that they've new
er been aide TO find so much as
the combing Of a hatch OF her since
Just as the last boatload OF passen-
gers was pulling away from the
steamer the skipper, man who had
sailed all of the seven seas nearly
all of his life without ever making a
mistake before, was seen 10 place a
revolver to his temple and put bu!-
let in his brain, and he wal dead
when the steamer CARRIED him to the,
bottom with her.

KENOSHA'S STRIKE IS OVER,
Men Return to Work in Allen Tannery
and the Trouble Seems to Be
at an End.

Kenosha, Wis, July 25.-The strike
at the N. r. Allen Leather Company's
plant is practically over, the men re-
turning to work to-day after their
committee had accepted the terms of
the company.
It's all of; the men have all gone
back to work. said Mayor Scholey.
With the coming of the end the men
who had been striking fought with
each other in order to get back to
their old places in the plant, and an
hour after work was resumed in all
departments the authorities declared
that 1000 men were at work and
others were awaiting to get in and at
work again. There was no question
offered at the parley between the two
factions save the suggestion that the
tannery officials pay the few men still
out for the time lost in the strike.
This was promptly refused and the
men announced that they would re-.
turn to work at once in any way.
A big sensation of the strike was
the becoming public of an order issued
by the police and fire commission by
which the mayor was practically shorn
of all power in handling the police
force. .+ ....
