Norfolk, Va. Nov. 3.-Clinging to a
davit projecting from the stern Of his
vessel, Captain Frederick Godfrey
of the three-masted schooner John
Maxwell, survived a half-mile Journey
through breakers at New Inlet, N. c.,
early to-day. and is the only one OF
eight alive who put to sea in the craft.
The surfmen dashed into the water
I'D to their armpits and threw him q
life line. Half drowned and scarcely
knowing what he did, the captain
grasped this with one hand and was
pulled through the breakers.
He had left the tottering vessel just
as 1t broke in two at j o'clock this
morning, after being lashed to the
rigging for twenty-four hours. When
he had been revived he told how the
other men on the Maxwell died. The

Results Show Fluctuations.

A study OF these tables, covering a full
twenty year period, 1883 10 1908, presents
many facts especially interesting at this
moment. The total vote cast for Presi-
dental electors has grown from n,SSl, ,iOS
in 1883 to l4.SS7,lS3 In 1903. This indicates
that the vote of 1908 was about 80 per
cent greater than that Of 1883. An exam
ination OF the totals in each OF the cleo
tlons during that twenty year period,
however shows marked fluctuations In
the number of votes cast and in the In
creases during the four year periods from
one election TO another.
The total vote OF 1892. for example, T.
Oi5,6O9 is a gain OF about 6 per cent over
that of 1883, and the vote OF 1886, lS,Sl5'10'
is nearly Is per cent larger than that OF
1892 The vote of 1900, 13eo4.5lS, is about
per cent in excess Of that of 1856, and
that OF 1904, l3,5235ls, is actually less than
that of 1900 while that Of 1905, A,SS"lS5,
Is about 10 per cent in excess OF that OF
1904. Should the percentage of gain In
1912 be as great as that shown by the
vote OF 1905, the total number Of votes
cast would considerably exceed l6,W0Wo'
