Mrs. George L. Jarvis, of Wood

Mrs. Harvey w. FAIRIES. Mrs. Jarvis,

practically abandoned all hope of
ever seeing her husband, Captain
Jarvis, who with his crew of the
Margaret A. May" were wrecked
off the Carolina coast during the
hurricane last August. The stern of
the boat, it will be remembered, was
washed ashore, but no tidings have
since been received of any of the

picked cp by some outgoing steamer
bound FOR some foreign part, but this
hope now seems abandoned.
