That none OF the vast reduction Of
more than eleven and q half million dol
lars In the postal deficit for the past

the efficiency of the postal service, or
is due TO curtailment of anything neces-
sary to keep the service up to its highest
state of efficiency. is declared in an
official statement issued last night by
Postmaster General Hitchcock
He points out that the reficit of the
preceding year amounted to approximate
~ $4,000, 600 At the close OF the last
fiscal year. June 30. 1910. the deficit was
less than 100000. The reduction was

Twelve Days Without Mishap.

Few of the sailors had ever shipped be-
fore on a sailing vessel. and when they
left the Louisiana port it was after
night spent largely in the cafes of that
city. The vessel ran along for twelve
days without mishap. The advance winds
of a gale made no impression on her. but
on the afternoon of October ID. when the
Holliswood was about 80 miles south
west of Tortugas, she was struck by heavy
seas and terrific winds.
First the .headsails were carried away.
and then the raging waters tore open
holes in the forward part of the ship
Capt. Walls set his men to tossing over
some of the lumber to make the schooner
ride higher in the water. but the water
came in faster than ever and filled the
hold.
The ships stores gave way under the
salt by the morning of the 18th. Safe
from the sea was small lot OF bareback
and rice. and on this the crew lived.
All hands were at the pumps and were
keeping pace with the incoming water
when a hurricane hit the vessel. The
ship rolled and tossed, and the sailors.

STORY OF HORRIBLE STORM
Sailors Say Their Commander Per-

NEW YORK, October 25.-The story of
sea captains sacrifice of his life to
stand by his ship until the raging waters
had broken her up was brought into
Perth Amboy yesterday by seven sailors
who were rescued from the fourmasted
schooner Holliswood October II, when
nothing but death. either by drowning or
starvation, seemed to face them.
AS this little crew clambered over the
sides OF the schooner. storm tossed and
battered in the gulf Of Mexico, Capt E.
A. Walls grimly wrote out his dutiful re-
port as the farewell message to his en-
ployers: f~-.--t
Please report that the schooner Hol-
,lswood is half filed with water and Is
sinking. Kindly notify Pendleton & Pen
dleton of No. $50 Pearl street, New York.
He couldn't have lived with that ship
because the ship couldn't have lived said
the first mate, Paul Mangold, yesterday,
but he died rather than bring no ship
into port
The sailors who came back from the
terrible experience were brought into
Perth Amboy yesterday morning by Capt.
Z. A. Berg on the steamer Harold after
a terrible battle with storm and sea and
the loss of lifeboat that was smashed
as soon as the men had been lifted
aboard.

No Necessity for Questioning

I'VE didn't wait to ask any questions
about needing help. We saw she needed
it. so Capt. Berg lowered a lifeboat over
the side. There wasn't any on the Hol-
liswood-carried away in the storm.
Jump In said Berg, as he and two
Of our crew rowed to within six feet OF
the schooner. Some OF the men started
to move toward the rail, but Walls never
budged.
Go ahead. get saved" he said to six
Of his men. Then he turned to Mangold
and said:
"'Ain't you going to stick with me-
Mangold?
Yes, sir said Mansold. If they'll
leave US a lifeboat.'
But We didn't have an extra Nfeboai
and we couldn't do it,
"Mangold hesitated a minute. looked at
Walls and then watched the other men
go over the side Then he followed them.
He had gone a few feet down the storm
ladder when he turned and yelled at
Walls:
Come on. captain, don't be foolish.
The old ships busted to pieces
No he said, hut ii you're going take
this note and he scrubbed a note to the
