Accidents to S3 Vessels, 225 Lives Lost.
Two hundred and twenty-five persons
persisted by shipwreck and SO vessels met
with disaster off the New England and
British North American coasts, or while
engaged in the New England Canadian
or Newfoundland trade. during the fall
and winter season of 19091910.
Of the SO vessels cast ashore, sunk,
burned or involved in other mlshaps, Is
were steamers or tugs, one was full
rugged ship, four were barks, three bark
entines and 81 schooners. A number of
barges were lost, but they were not in
cluded in the list. The financial loss ex-
ceeds 81 ,000,O G0.
A feature of the casualties was the
large number of ''big stickers -four,
five and siX-masted schooners- which
deposited their bones in the recesses Of
the Atlantic. These included the six
master Mertie B. Crowley of Boston,
fve-masters Davis Palmer of Boston,
and Gov. Ames of Providence and four
masted schooners Henry B. Fiske of
Boston, George A. McFadden Of Bath,
Me-, Eleazer W. Clark of Portland and
Marie Palmer of Boston.
In the wreck of the Davis Palmer off
Boston II persisted, IA on the Gov. Ames
and 10 on the Henry B. F'iske. The larg-
est vessel lost was the Mertie B. Crow
ley, which registered 24l0 tons net.
Ihirty-tive lives were lost on October
Is, when the steamer Hestia, Glasgow
for St John. was wrecked off Grand Ma
nan. The barkentine John S. Bennett
and the Thomaston schooner Merrill j.
Hart were sunk in collision November
8th off Block island, II perishing.
The loss of many vessels during the
latter part of December was due to a
great storm which struck New England
December 25th. AS usual the Newfound-
land fishing fleet suffered heavily.
The destruction of many New England
craft was severe blow to the shipping
industry of this section, inasmuch as the
yards are turning out few vessels to re-
place them. If the record of the past
season is maintained the American flag
will gradually disappear from the At
lantic, but fortunately the season was an
exceptional one.
The most northerly wreck of the sea-
son occurred at Dead island, Labrador,
where the British schooner Quickstep
was lost, the crew escaping.

Back to the Land For q Living.
In some cases the new census fig
ures indicate that the tendency toward
o~vercrowding in cities is greater than
eve before. The increased misery.
suffering and personal failure which
must result are certain to give impetus
to hack to the land" preaching and
longing. 1t seems to be an easy solu-
ton of a grave social problem and.
moreover. to be the only one.
But going back to the land in search
of what has been missed in the city
that is to say, prosperity-is not easy.
A living can be made at the cost OF
toll and self denial. On the whole. too.
it will be a better living than the
struggling poor family gains in the
crowded city. But for the boys and
girls of the family tr%ansplanted from
the city tenelnents to the farm the out
look is bright. A surer foothold awaits
them on the land than in town. They
can adapt themselves to country life.
and where their city spoiled parents
can make only a bare living on the
land they may win prosperity. The
hard struggle of the city bred man to
make Il living on the land is surely
worth while If at the same time he is
starting his children On the road to
prosperity.
