CARGO CAST OVERHEARD

along to be gathered up by those who
cared TO take the trouble.
Farming and fishing were aban-
doncd: school even was dismissed and
most of the population of the nearby
islands. men. women and children. de-
voted themselves to obtaining treas
ures from the waves. The salvagers
decided to try to rescue the Mime
haha by cutting her In half. Every
effort to lightsl tho ship is now Inn
perative
Tonight the waves beat up too
high and strong for the tugs to go
alongside. Consequently goods were
thrown overheard from the forward
hold as fast as the stevedores and a
large crew could rase them to deck.
Huge cases containing automobiles
and pianolas followed one another
over the side. striking the water with
a great splash. Sewing machines and
clocks went with them, while Atichi-
gan furniture uOaleQ everywhere.
Many bales of cigarettes covered the
face of the water, and tons of cheap
American novels drifted to the nearby
shore of Bryher, wherc they were
piled like seaweed.
Tidings of this icttisoning of wealth
spred early and a fleet of fishing craft,
luggers and rowboats RcurrIed to the
scene. AS fast as the cargo hit the
water the enterprisin&. boatmen pulled
up the smaller cases, while they took
the larger ones in tow.
The aIinnehaha lies pointing south
west with Long Rock in parallel di-
rcction. She appears as though she
were at anchor and smoke still curl
ing from her funnel adds to the illu-
sion.
In the half mile channel between
her and the little island where the
passengers first landed and the cattle
are now huddled, are assembled sever
al tugs. comparatively small boats,
which are unable to approach closer,
but are standing by in case of an
emergency.
The seamen here think that 1t Will
be Impossible to save the Minnehaha
and they look for the first strong wind
to break her to pieces.

to press but two of the eight charges
against the young man, and Runyon
to-day was sentenced to serve a year
on the Industrial farm on sentences
of sin months each on two charges of
burglary. The boy pleaded guilty to
indictments charging that he entered
the Weed and Calhoun homes here.
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown will be
interested in the case and an effort
Will be made to have the boy removed
to the National Junior Republic Judge
Charlton, who sentenced Runyon, re-
minded the boy that the limit of pun
ishment was twenty years in each case
against him.
DR.. Emily Runyon. of Richmond,
mother of the young prisoner, made a
plea In court in which she told OF
three falls of a severe character he
had while young, and sought to inn
press the court that this may have been
a potent factor in his erroneous devel~
opment She also referred to the opin,
ion of a brain specialist, who thought
the boy was ahnormally developed
The plight of the boy has aroused
much interest in Savannah, and appar-
entity there has been no disposition to
make him suffer severely for his series
of crimes, to which he frankly con-
fesscs. IT tWas impossible under the
law to send him to the reformatory.
and there was no alternative except
to send him to the farm.

While many are from friends and ac.

tie majority are received from persons
