a Personal EXPERIENCE.


One day girl and decided totake
a walk There were a few clouds In
the sky. but we did not think it would
rain. because the sun was shining very
brightly.
{ We had gotten away out In the coun-
try when the sun went behind a large
cloud We had only ono umbrella be-
tween us, and would not have had that
had the sun not been shining SO bright
~ When VIC started. The sky got
darker and darker, and soon very
largo drops of rain came down. They
came down harder and harder and soon
we were very wet. as the one umbrella
did not shelter us very we'll.
Alter walking quito n distance we
.camo to o cottage. where an old lady
lived. She saw us from her window
and called US In. She made fire for
.us TO dry oursclvcs and when tho rain
slackencd, sho gave US another unl-
brclla to go home undcr.

LAST HOPE IS GONE
FOR VESSELS SAFETY
Bluefields, Caught in Gulf Hurricane,
Reported Destroyed With All
on Board.

New Orleans. La, oct. 23.-The last
hope for the survival OF the Norwegian
steamer Bluefields OF the VaccarO COM
pany, caught in the gulf hurricane in
or near the Yucatan channel more than
a week ago, disappeared tonight when
the steamer COrinto, in the same serv-
ice. reached New Orleans without It'd
ings of the missing vessel.
The COrintO sailed from Ceiba, Span
ish Honduras, last Wednesday, follow
ing the same course always taken by
the Bluefields, which left Ceiba six
days before. That the Bluefields was
lost with the tWenty-nine persons
aboard including besides the crew, the
wife OF Captain LANCE, is the general
belief.
The belief that the British steamer
Crown Prince. Captain r. KirkWoOd,
with a crew OF thirty-five, bound from
Santos, and last reported al Barbados
October Z, went down in the storm,
was further strengthened by the con-
tinued absence of any tidings of her
