mark that "most books in library
ought to he burned,' told of lively
exchange of compliments he once had
with publisher,
Sir Gilbert had been pointing out
that in many cases, owing 10 the in
ability Of literary men to look after
themselves, publishers made far more
money out of books than their authors
did.
The publisher remarked that what
Lord Rosebery should have said was
that; 'tlt was not most books, but
most authors that should be burned -
''That may be true.'' retorted Sir
Gilbert, ''but Judging from the pub.

Ing ncets last Tuesday. Tho steamer
Newfoundland lost more than sixty OF
her crew, while as many more. It is
feared, VIII be manned as a result OF
exposure.
Alarm is felt for the steamer South
which has not been reported since she
passed Cape Pine, bound In Tuesday
morning
Tile men lost were far from their
ships, killing seals, when the storm
with binding snow, swooped down.
They were exposed for forty-eight
hours before assistance arrived, and
in that time many succumbed
The Newfoundland was one OF n fleet
OF nfteen ships. carrying more than
1000 men, scattered among the ice
foes near Belle Isle Strait The
crews were on the foes hunting seals,
and the hunt had taken them from
four to six miles from their ships.
When the blizzard came the crews
of other steamers managed to regain
their vessels. but the foes on
which tho Newfoundland's men were
hunting. drifted away from the main
body of ice. and when darkness fell

and powerful. smashed their way into
the foes. In search OF TIE missing
men. Late to-day the captain of the
Eellaventura sent wireless messages
here saying he had picked up thirty
estimated that forty men had perished
and sad that thirty were unaccounted
for.
y message from the Stephano to-
night said thirty-five survivors and
three bodies had been found. but there
is doubt az to whether she referred
only to those picked up by her.
The wireless OF the Bellaventura was
working poorly, and her messages were
confused. The number of fatalities
vii be in doubt at least until she
reaches here, probably tomorrow noon.
AT dusk another blizzard had sprung
up. and there was little hope for any
OF the hunters who already had not
been saved
Added to the known disaster was a
growing suspense regarding the
Southern Cross. First reports Of the
loss OF the men OF the Newfoundland
were confused and generally were ac-
ccpted "s referring to the Southern
'cross. and it was not until late in the
day that the identity of the crew was
determined Early information that
the Newfoundland had been sunk by
the ice proved untrue. Wireless mes
sages describing the loss OF her hunt
ers were read as referring to the ship
itself.
There still is some doubt as to how,
the vessels survived the storm, but as
The latest messages from the Bellaven-
tura and the Stephano make no mention

ship still floats.
