TWO WEEKS OF TORMENT
Dreadful Suffering of Survivors of
Columbian in an Open Boat
for Fourteen Days

Halifax. y. s., May 19.-The four
survivors of the steamer Columbia
brought here Monday evening by the
revenue cutter Senaca, tell the fol-
lowing story of their experiences, of
open boat:
Eleven others of the boats crew
which left the Columbian when she
was burned south of Sable Island,
and privations when the Senaca
found them, and their bodies had
been thrown overheard. The death
roll of the lost freighter now stands
at fifteen.
Twenty-seven other members of
the crew were saved by the Cunard
liner Franconia and the steamer
Manhattan after two days of expos
ure.
The survivors had lived on a few
ships biscuit and cask of water,
which long since had been exhausted.
They had gone the limit of human
endurance. Hope for this missing
third boat had been abandoned after
a dozen transatlantic liners searched
for five days within a wide radius
of the spot where the Columbian
burst into flames. To seafaring men
it seemed impossible that a small
boat could pass thru the series of
gales that heve swept the waters in
which the boat had drifted and the
news that the Seneca had picked up
survivors was received almost in
credulously here.
Although the survivors were too
weak from their suffering to tell the
story completely. the revenue cut
ter's officers gathered that some of
the sixteen who had been so badly
days. 1t was decided to tighten the
boat by casting the bodies overheard,
Some who had tumbled from their
hunks at the first explosion and had
uSucu vi ucCh HAIL ClOluSu, sue
cumbed to the cold; others weakened
by hunger and thirst, gradually sank
into lethargy that was scarcely to be
distinguished from death.
Dwindled Day by Day
Somehow the survivors managed
to keep the boat headed to the seas
when the weather became rough,
but for the past few days little or
no effort was made to guide the
craft. Day by day the number dwin-
died until the four who were left
sank implies in the bottom of the
boat and awaited the end.
When the lookout of the Seneca,
scanning the horizon for bergs on
the ice patrol. sighted the small boat
thru his glasses, not sign of life
was seen. The Seneca put on all
speed and racing to the life boat
alongside. The emaciated survivors
were quickly transferred to the deck
of the cutter and brandy forced be-
tween their lips.
AS all the men were in apparent
need of hospital attention the Seneca
| was pushed under forced draught to
Halifax, the nearest port.

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
 By John Sorrells
: +++ < < ! + ++ t < !

The date. of the Camden meet is drawing near and the local track team under the direction of Coach Shepp is rapidly rounding into form. Under the blistering rays of the
 afternoon sun they may be seen speeding along the cinder track or heaving the shot and hammer. The prospects for winning team, which were rather gloomy several days ago, are exceedingly good and if the work Is continued with the same zest that characterizes It at the present, the locals will have little trouble in winning the Camden meet.
 In the past the invariably weak feature of the track team was on the cinder path. The field men, showed strength but the runners failed to produce. This year however the run ners are numbered among the strong est on the team. In fact the reverse is true and the runners are showing up we'll where the field men are woefully weak. a
 Of the runners there are several who are expected to shatter some state records. This year Smizer who has had world of experience will represent the locals in the hundred yard dash and the 220 yard dash. He runs both of these in good time and will before the state meet cut a second or two off his presen: tlme. Dansby and Lee are close seconds to Smizer. They are the 44G yard artists and are cutting seconds off their time daily.
 tatives, Christopher and Mccain, both of whom are exceptionally suited to run this race. They both dash this off in good time, and Christopher especially, his time being nearly that of the state record. Pink Burk is also runLing it in fast clip.
 In the field events there is for the pole vault only one man who shows any class, Felix Smart. He is soar in gto the altitude of about ten feet now and expects to go higher. Nc Cain and Burke are the men of highest calibre in the high jump: They are jumping fairly wei but their record DHar improvement.

"There's an appetite that Stuart's
 Dyspepsia Tablets gave me-,

Dyspepsia Tablets gave me-
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets very quickly restore appetite by making the stomach want food. The stomach readily recovers from indigestion dyspepsia, etc., as soon as it is en- abled to digest food. Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets taken after each mea quickly digest that meal and thus wonderfully rest the stomach.
 In a short time the digestion as sumes it's normal condition and then appetite-and a good appetite too is the natural consequence. One may actually fluidize a few Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, place them in glass tube with meat, grains, vegetables eac., and these tablets will digest the contents of the tube without aid.
 Just think then how quickly and eff ficiently then act when they are mix ed with the food in ones system and what great relief it is to the diges- tive apparatus to have it's fluids so en- riched. ,1A&.

LOCAL TALENT AGAIN
 ENTERTAIN PLEASINGLY
LAST NIGHTS PERFORMANCE OF BUSINESS NEWS CARNIVAL
 CARRIED OUT WITH VIM.
Audience Disapp0intingIy Small-T0- nights Will Be the Last of Three
 Good Performances.

A gallant Kentuckian once remark ed that "all ladies are pretty, some prettier than others, but all are pret- ty." And this applies to the numbers of the Business Mems carnival public ly presented for the second time last night at the Elks' theatre: All were good; some better than others, but all good.
 Of course, the numbers in which the 'kiddies'' took part proved again very popular, indicating once more the paternal instinct of every one. But the several features presented by young ladies and gentlemen, giving touches of the opera and musical comedy were we'll rendered and prop erly appreciated
 Very pretty was "The Rose Garden of the Harper Floral company, and in the ensemble "1he Flowery King dom" of the Baer Grocery Company
 
 Girls" of the Peoples Savings Bank & Trust Company; "The Reception" of the Citizens Bank, "The Auto Party" of the Smart Auto Company; "The Gypsy Carnival" of the Riley Commission Company, and "The "Squaw's Lullaby" of the Cleveland Matthews Hardware Company were each worthy of the generous applause accorded It would be difficult to say which of the sketches was best. Each would have reflected credit up- on more seasoned stage workers. "The Parasol Chorus" of the Claud Clegg Company was excellent and gave Miss Anna Maui opportunity to display talent as monologuist.
 The numbers were re-arranged last night, giving the bill a new aspect The audience was disappOintingly small, considering the purpose of the performances and the efforts devoted to preparing the entertainment. Prob ably few in the audience realized the hours of work and practice required for each one of the features put on to entertain for few minutes. There was more snap to last nights per formance, and it may be expected that tonight's will be better.
 "The Parisian Chorus," represent ing the Coca-Cola Bottling Co.,, was very good. Miss Floy Herring, as the soloist, was especially good, winning applause by her acting and singing.
 Miss Frances Howell and Willis Adams were awarded the cake dnoat- ed by Yauch's. Bakery in the cake walk contest.
 Owing to the poor attenadnce last night, the ladies m charge of the Carnival decided to make the price of admission for tonight fifty cents to all parts, of the house, and give the public a chance to see the perform ance at a 1ominal cost.

 Mir. Aliens office presented the ap- pearance of a family reunion yester- day morning when scores of students congregated to welcome Coach Bas- sett back to the High School. After an illness of several months duration, number of tines when his life being in the balance, he has at last convalesced to a sufficient degree to leave the Davis hospital. He spent the morning at the school where he was warmly welcomed by his student friends.
 Although he has regained his strength sufficiently to shave himself and eat alone, the Coach says that he will not be ready to begin teaching for some time yet. He is contemplat- ng visit of several days duration to Hot Springs to recouperate. He is confident however that he will bel able to take charge of his baseball team in two weeks and until thatl time the squad will merely keep Tn condition by light practice.
