IN A
PRAYERFUL MOOD
As GALE PASSES
Steamship Comus Weathers
Fierce Tropical Hurricane and
Arrives Safe in New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-With her thir-
ty or more passengers heartily thank
full that they were able to set foot on
land once more after passing safely
through the thick of the tropical hur-
ricane which swept the gulf and the
Caribbean with almost record fury, the
Southern Pacific steamer Comus
reached port today from New Orleans
four days late.
The Comus left New Orleans Wednes-
day, October 12, and had hardly got
out into the gulf when the storm
broke. C. de F. Molyneaux. secretary
to G. w Luce, general freight agent of
the Southern Pacific Company, who
was on his way here from San Fran
cisco on board the Comus, told the
story today of the exciting experiences
of the steamer in the terrible blow.
"Things began to look alarming
Thursday" said Molyneaux, land on
Friday conditions grew rapidly worse
BY Friday night we were in the thick
of the hurricane, which Captain Maxon
said was the worst he had experienced
in seventeen years of sailing in these
waters. Altnougn lne natcneS were
battered down and everything was
locked tight, water forced its way into
some of the staterooms
All Abandon Hope.
''The decks were continually swept,
the steamer pitched and rolled fright
fully and everybody, even Captain
Maxon, gave up the ship for lost
Conditions improved the next day,
however, but both sea and wind con-
tinued phenomenally high and there
was not enough sun for an observation.
An effort was made to find the vessels
location by soundings, but without re-
suit. BY Monday things were improved
enogh to give US some confidence, and
Tuesday, when the captain was able to
get an observation and at the head of
the Florida straits, we all felt that we
had weathered the worst experience in
our lives"
The Comus was in wireless touch with
the shore, except for periods Friday and
Monday when the receiving apparatus
was damaged by the storm and had to
be repaired.

Virginia Mountaineefs Rescue
Friend They Believe Inno-'

WILL RELEASE MAN AND

Seventy=five Armed Men Cut
Phone Wires and Escape
to Virginia Hills.

LOVINGSTON, Va, Oct. N.-Moun-
taineer friends of John Moore, under
sentence to be electrocuted for the
murd CT of Frank Howl, descended upon
the Nelson county jail here at l o'clock
this morning, stormed the building and
rescued the prisoner. It>is supposed he
will be taken to the mountains and
liberated.
At that early hour OF the morning.
when the people of the county seat
were asleep. a crowd of seventy-five
fully armed men from the mountain
section of the county, where the crime
was committed, proceeded quietly
through the town to the county Jail.
Admission was gained to the building
and the guards awed into comparative
non-resistance The cell where Moore
was locked up soon was found and he
was taken out.
Precautions Against Alarm.
Precautions had been taken by the
determined mob to prevent an alarm
being spread. Almost as quietly as
they had entered the town they left 1t
and started back to the mountains. 1t
was not until some hours after the
rescue that the news spread and soon
several deputy sheriffs were on their
way into the mountains to try to re-
arrest the murderer, II is feared that
bloodshed will result from any attempt
of the authorities to recapture the
murderer.
Moore was condemned to pay the
death penalty by electrocution at Rich
mond on November rs. He had been
convicted of having murdered Frank
Howl, in Nelson county last May.
Many of the mountaineer friends OF
the condemned man believed him inno-
cent of the crime
The only telephone wire leading into
the section of the country where the
crime was committed, and where
Moore's friends live. was cut before
the rescue operations were begun. This
leads to the belief that Moore has been
| carried there to be liberated, and that
any effort to regain the murderer will
be resisted.
