FAITH HURLS BACK WAVES
Wife Of Master Of Little Brig
Calm in 21-Day Hurricane.

Mrs. Adde Edwardss faith overcame
mountainous seas. The young woman,
whose husband IS still master of the little
brig Motley. thanks TO her smiling bravery,
stepped off the Hamburg American liner
Allemsnia yesterday. twenty-four hours late
for a Christmas celebration with relatives
in Brooklyn. after spending twenty-one
days in a Gulf hurricane. which nearly
wiped out her husbands boat and his little
family
1T was the worst storm ! ever enCoun-
te,ed 80 said Mrs Edwards. who since her
six-year-old son was born, has spent the
larger part Of her time on the Motley. II
thought every minute the ship would be
turned over in the hurricane. I prayed for
hours that We might be saved and when the
men were working at the pumps I'stood
among them giving encouragement
The Motley was bound from Mobile for
Mayaguez. Porto Rico. with lumber, trip
that normally would have taken her a week
The storm began the day she left port and
increased i'm intensity until the wind had
ripped off every ward Of canvas Under
bare poles the brig drifted helplessly, while
Mrs. Edwards and her little boy. calm and
cheerful. encouraged the tired and disheart-
ened crew Of eight including skipper and
mate. to keep up their efforts a. the pumps.
And when hope had almost fed the gale
blew them into Little Inagua. in the Ba-
lamas. where they were safe.

from the home Of HIS daughter, Mrs
.erov n. Gates. here last Sunday morning.

on the Watching Mountains this after
noon. He had committed suicide by cut
ting his throat with razor. The body
was found by an Italian employed at
the quarry about one hundred feet from

Mr.. Patterson had recently come from

here. lie was a neghbor and personal
friend Of William J. Bryan and in the
Presidential campaign Of 1895 managed

son came east month ago suffering from
nervous prostration, and he planned 10
spend some time with his daughter. he
had been engaged in the wholesale hard
ware business az Lincoln for many years
and recently retired because OF III health.
The change seemed to benefit him and
he had been persuaded 10 remain here,
although several times he expressed regret
that ne could not spend the holidays with
his wife i'm Lincoln. This seemed to
worry him. and with his general nervous
condition IS believed 10 have been the cause
Of his suicide He left no message eX-
planning his act
An investigation showed that Mr.. Pat
tcrson had crawled at least seventy-five
feet from the spot where he had cut him
self, for trail Of blood was found lead
ing from pool, indicating that he had
tried to reach a dense spot I'm the woods
away from the main road. Near the pool
of blood was A razor.
Mr.. Patterson left his daughters home
II o'clock Sunday morning 10 60 TO
church, but apparently he did not carry
out his expressed purpose. When he
failed to return home for dinner the fam
lily became alarmed and before night the
police were requested to search for him.
For several years prior to engaging in
the hardware business Mr.. Patterson was
a travelling salesman, and AT one time was
president Of the Travelling Mems Asso-
citation of Nebraska He was president
of the Nebraska Bryan club and a vet
