UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRr.l

Montreal, Nov. 2.-Slxteen men, wo-
men and children perlshed in Lake
st, Louis, at Isle Herrott, 10 miles
west of here, when the steamer Ce-
celie, a little vessel plying between
Montreal and Vallyfield, sank early
today in a terrific storm, Four pas
sengers-all men-were saved.
The storm struck the vessel just as
it was entering the lake, the crew los
ing all control of the craft. The Ce-
celie was quickly driven on the rocks
by a 45-mile gale, her wooden hull
being smashed to fragments and the
passengers thrown into the water.
The shrieks Of the drowning pas
sengers attracted Alexander Leonard,
who rowed out to the scene and res
cued Lionel Leduc, A. Gosslin, E. H.
Baillargeson and Felix Cousinau, who
were clinging to the wreckage.
At daylight sections of the debris
had drifted ashore. The names of
those lost are not yet known.

ter by reading the newspapers.
On account of the unfavorable COM
ment caused by these publications,
have made an investigation as to their
origin and as a result have become
convinced that they emanated from
some unknown person with the sole
object of injuring me at the coming
primary election. | am strong ad-
rocate of union organization as long
as they obey the law; when so doing
they are entitled to consideration Of
every law-abiding American citizen,
and l cannot believe that any member
of that worthy organization would
stoop so low or so degrade its mem
beTs as to be guilty of the act of post
ing such notice on the door Of this
bank
| abhor the act and would do as
much as any citizen of this town to
alleviate the suffering of the members
of the families of the deceased officials
of the bank in their hour of bereave-
ment. l feel that it is unjust to DR.,
Sleeves, as we'll as to myself, to have
our candidates. coupled with such an
Indecent act as the one mentioned in
these articles l have made my cam
paign solely upon my record as one of
your city officials and have tried in ey-
cry possible way to protect the inter-
ests of the taxpayers and hope the
voters Of this city will judge DR..
Sleeves and myself upon our merits,
without coupling us with the disrepu-
table act which l have herein mem
tened.
In conclusion | will say that these
articles were published for political
purposes by parties who are inter-
ested in the outcome of the election
and not by any member or friend of
organized labor,

mon thing is to patch the shell OF a
ship. The great, Jagged rent in her
side. it may be, where the bow OF
another vessel has cut into her, or
which has been gashed open by a
sharp rock, has to be prepared for
the patch which is to keep the water
out
Wonderful Feats In Salvage.
Measurements have to be taken,
from which the patch can be made,
shaped so that It will At nicely. Prob
ably holes have to be drilled in the
ships skin--all be it remembered, un-
der the water-and finally the patch
has to be put in place and secured
with bolts. Then, when the diver has
done all that the water is pumped out
and the ship fioated.
OF course in some cases the, diver
work may only be to fix or run ropes
by which the vessel may be lifted,
but often he has much skillful work
to perform under the difficult condi-
lions of complete immersion in water
in a thick, clumsy dress and under
an abnormal pressure of air. 1t Is.
indeed, wonderful what salvage divers
can do.
There are, however. instances in
which ships have been literally fish
ed up" from the depths to which
divers could not descend One which
occurs to the writer was that of a
small naval vessel sunk in collision
off the south coast. Two steam tugs
held the ends of long cable, and by
slowly dragging 1t along the sea floor
they caught the wreck and drew the
cable under 1t.
Several cables were thus got In
place, and then, being pulled tight at
low water. the tide lifted the ships
above and so lifted the wreck as we'll,
whereupon it was towed into shallow
er water This operation being re-
peated at every tide, the wreck was at
last beached
In one we'll known instance OF
salvage a ship was literally cut in
two, but the two halves were in good
condition, and it was resolved to save
them both The divers put in a tenn
porary end OF timber to each and so
they were raised, taken to the near
est shipyard and there joined togeth-
er again.
The salvage OF wrecks is a very diff
ficult and daring business, but there
are men who are expert at it and
whose experience is so extensive that
they seldom fail at a job which they
once undertake, II is only fair to
say. however, that they are much in
debted to the splendid divers equip
ment which is now procurable with
out which much that they do would
be quite impossible.

thing every morning for Wagstaff to
watch for the girl and then to steal
chances at her all the way to his sta
ton. She looked at him so calmly in
gazing around the car day after day
that he thought despairingly that she
didn't know he was on earth
Just when he was losing hope Of
ever getting acquainted with her
something happened. One morning
she got off at station which the
train reached before it arrived at
Wagstaffs More than that, Wag-
staff saw long handled umbrella
resting against the window frame Of
the seat that she had just left.
What shall l do?" the young man
asked himself Shall take her UNI
brella with me for safe keeping, or
shall turn it in at the lost and found
Office? In either case"
With a fast beating heart he pos
sessed himself of the forgotten UNI
brella On mature consideration he
decided that it would be best to turn
it in to the company in the usual way
and take a chance on future favorable
developments,
A week later the developments
came. On a wind-swept elevated
platform one evening, several stations
distant from the one nearest his Of
fee, Wagstaff found himself alone
with the girl.
For an instant her glance fingered,
and there was a sort of recognition in
it as their eyes met. Wagstaff acted
on the moments impulse, all the hero
in his makeup coming to the front.
Il beg your pardon" he said ad-
vancing a step, hat in hand. but did
you recover the umbrella you left on
the train few days ago? I turned
it in at the lost and found depart

She started little with surprise as
