OVER 800 SAVED
BY HUMAN CHAIN
Eight Daring Jackies Fight
Fire Aboard Steamer
Maryland.

NORFOLK Va. Dec 16-Praise for
the valor and heroism OF eight United
States sailors who probably saved the
lives OF over 800 pasfe engers on the
steamship Maryland. is being heard on
all sides today
PanGsmonium reigred among the
panic-stricken passengers on the burn
ing boat when the eight jackies coOIly
came on the scene and quickly grasped
the pe-ii. Smoke and flames were issu-
ing from the hold and men and women
were running hither and yon in their
freEzied fright.
Making a literal human chain, with
one Of the sailors, a youth named Stone,
at the end, the jackies lowered each
other headlong down the side Of the
burning vessel with his hands Stone
broke a window leading to the freight
hold and was then able 20 turn water
onto the flames.
For fifteen minutes the sailors hung
headIong over the side OF the steam
ship battling with the Threatening
flames Great tongues of fire and
clouds OF dense smoke rushed from the
hold. but the eight men remained vail
antiy at their post while the Maryland
raced toward short at top speed.
Distress signals went out from the
burning vessel and a dozen tugs hur-
ned toward the hoating mass Of
flames Before the passengers were
taken aboard by the steamer PennsyI-
vania- which was rushed from Nor
folk, the flames had reached the upper
cabin aud the walls OF the state r0ons
were badly damaged
One Of the most thrilling escapes was
made BY Mate Foster, who was hauled
TO safety from the hold through q mass
Of flames. He had attempted to fight
the fire single handed, and all avenues
OF escape were. apparently. cut on
when he discovered that his efforts
were to no avail
Most OF the passengers were at sup
per when the fire was discovered among
some bales OF cotton in the freight
hold The steamship had left Norfolk
only thirty minutes before. and was
between Bush Bluff and SewafPs Point
en- route to Cape Charles
Estimates Of the damage done have
not yet been made by the New York

A Vision

Last evening l was talking
With a merchant aged and gray.
When he told me OF a vision he had
| think twas Christmas Day.
While snoozing in his office
This vision came to view,
For he saw an Angel enter
Dressed in garments white and new
Said the Angel. I'm from Heaven
The Lord just sent me down;
To bring you up to glory,
And put on your Golden Crown.
you've been a friend to every one,
And worked hard night and day.
You've supported many thousand
And from few received your pay.
so we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
For your eternal just reward"
Then the Angel and the merchant
Started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close to Hades,
The Angel ACKNOWLEDGEMENT"
"I've a place l wish to show you;
It's the hottest place i'm He'll,
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment forever dwell"
And behold the merchant saw them.
His old patrons by the score.
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more.
He desired to sit and watch them
AS they'd sizzle. SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on debtors
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the Angel, Come on Merchant
There are Pearly Gates to see"
But the merchant only muttered,
This is Heaven enough for me-"
