Miss Marion HoIway, Machias, Should
Christen Destroyer O'Brien.

Had the navy department at Wash
ington made much of an effort to 20
cate a descendant of Commodore Jerc-
miah O'Brien of Revolutionary war
fame it would undoubtedly succeeded.
The department greatly desired that
the torpedo destroyer O'Brien of Ma
chias be chrstened by one OF it's kin
of the naval hero. whose fame the boat
is To commemorate. Miss Marion y.
Holway of MachiaS, who was the sic
nographer at the cfiiee of Secretary
w. f.. Lawry of the Senate, during the
past Legislature. has been discovered
as such descendant. The sister %
Commodore Jeremiah 0'Bfien was net
f ather' great great GRANDMOTHER,
which makes her as direct descend
ant of the Revolutionary yea tighter as
il il; possible to secure. The commo-
dore married in the later years of bis
wife. but had no children. While ste
nographer at the Office of secretary OF
the Senate, Miss Holway made Il host
of friends by her courtesy and kindly
manners. 1t is understood that Sena
tor Burleieh. Congressman MeGilll-
cuddy. Senator Johnson, Congress
men Guernsey and Kinds and Mr..
O'Brien of the navy department have
already selected her to christen the
new destroyer.

PERIL AT SEA

From the London Telegraph.
A stirring tale of the sea was told by
the officers of the Pennsular and Orien-
tai steamer Banca on the arrival of that
vessel at Bombay last month"; after a
voyage from Japan. They had on board
swarthy Dutch Malay. who was res
cued under extraordinary circumstances.
The Banca left Aroji. Japan. with car
go of coal bound for Bombay. During
the passage of the Straits of Malacea an
object was deserted floating in the sea,
The course of the vessel was altered aud
as the Banca steamed nearer the object
a man was made out. seated on a tree
trunk and waving his trousers as dis
tress signal The castaway was picked
up and taken aboard in a state of extreme
exhaustion.
When he had recovered the man told on
amazing story. He declared that he and
four companions set out in small boat,
when they were overtaken by a gale
Their frail craft was unable to withstand
the storm and eventually capsized They
were thrown into the water, but finding
tree trunk close by they clung to it and
thus rode out the gale. They remained in
this awful predcament for days accord
ing to the Malay, tortured by the panss
of hunger and thirst. and in danger from
sharks. There was no possibility II
reaching land, even had they known in
which direction it lay. Their only hope
was being rescued by passing steamers.
Several vessels did, in fact, pass them,
but no notice was taken of their frantic
signals and cries for help. The unfor-
tunates were washed away one by one
until only the Malay remained. Sighting
the Banca he renewed his efforts to at
tract notice. and was eventually success
