fought on. though how they found their way Nofe, who was watching them, could not guess, since no land fought on, blinded, chofed with the salt sand that drove into their eyes and lungs, till man after man, they fell down and perished. Others took their places, and yet they fought on. It must have been near to midnight when the company, or those who were left of them. staggered to the edge of that dreadful wilderness which was but vast plain of stone and sand, border-s ed on the west as on the east by slopes of fertile soil For a while the fierce tempest lifted a little, and the light of the stars whfch struggled through breaks in the clouds showed that they were marching down a steep descent of grassland. Thus they went on for several more hours, till at length the bearers of the litter in which were Rachel and Noie, who for a long time had been staggering to and fro like drunken men, came, to halt, and litter and all, sank to the ground ut-l teriy exhausted.
 Rachel and ,Noie disentangled them selves from the litter, for they were un- hurt, and stood by it, not knowing where to go, till presently two other filters containing the priests came up, for the third had been abandoned. and it's occupant crowded in with Eddo. Now a great clannor arose in the dark ness the priests missing commands to the Surv1v1nE Bearers to take up the
 litter and proceed. But great as was ,their strength. this the poor men could not do. There they lay upon the ground, answering that Eddo might curse them if he wished, or even XII them as their brothers had been kiIl2f { ed but they were unable to stir>A4f- otehr step until they had rested and drunk Where they were, there they. must lie until rain fell. Then the priests wished Rachel to enter one of their litters, leaving Noie to walk, which they were afraid to do them- selves. Butt when she understood, Rachel cut the matter short by ans- wering.
 Not so, I will waIlk,'' and picking up the spear of one of the fallen Um1xu1u to serve as a stah, she took Npie by the hand and started forward down the hill.
 One of the priests clasped her rope to draw her back, but she turned on him into his litter like snail into his shell steep path they marched on. and after them came the two Htters with the priests. carried by all the bearers who could still stand. for these old men weighed no more than children From far below them rose mighty sound as Of an angry sea.
 What is that noise?'' called Rachel into the ear of Noie.

When two tugs went up the Pequon- nook river this morning. one towing and the other pushing the Augusta w. Snow. a four-masted schooner with esO.O00 feet of Georgia pine aboard, she drew r 1-2 feet of water. and tow boatmen are of the opinion that she will be about the last of the heavy draught boats to get north of the East Washington avenue bridge until the channel Is dredged out.
 Although the start up the river with the big craft, with one of the largest careoes ever brought was not made until dead high tide. there were times that the craft slid on the bottom of the river and going through the East Washington avenue bridge the men on the tow boats were fearful that she would stick and become immovable in the draw.
 Although there Is supposed to be 20 feet or more of water at the bridge and IS feet in the channel at high water. the indications are that sew age is filling up the river The load of 69O 900 feet of lumber Is a big one and the schooner herself Is a buster hailing from Bangor. Me. so that the tugs John Glenn and Stephen Babcock had no small job to skid her over the mud The cargo Is for the Frank Miller Lumber Co.
