To "S|eep in The Yukon'' Was His Desire Ruby Paper Tells Story of 1anana "Hero"

Ruby Record-Citizen: Some little excitement was caused in that peace ful village of Panama not long since when one of it's young men made a second unsuccessful attempt to sleep the sleep that knows no waking;' "perChanCe to dream: but any night mare to him was better than Tana- na which had treated him so cruel ly and left him disappointed, spirit ually torn and bleeding alone in the arms of fate An eyewitness to the near-tragedy gives the following facts:
 It was about f o'clock in the morning just as the sun was lookinS down from Mission Hill when, amid tears for those who would miss him when he was gone, he tore himself asunder from his weeping friends at the bar and rushed madly to tine river brink. Looking over his shoul- der and seeing his friends following he plunged bravely in and. with a slow. easy stroke. as though he was prepared to swim the English chan the meantime his friends, who neith CT wanted to go along nor yet be left behind, hurriedly launched d boat. About this time the watch man on the mail launch who was sleeping aboard, hearing the pandc- monium, sprung from his hammock and leaped to the deck in swimming attire, just in time to hear the hero of the hour call to his friends, Boys 1 want to die; let me sleep in the arms of the Yukon" At this the shivering watchman made the sar- castle remark, with trimmings, that it might be all right for him to sleep in the arms of the Yukon, but no one else could sleep when he stirred up such hubbub. This and seeing the boat close at hand he gave one heavenly look and sank be- meath the waves. There is a swift undercurrent in the channel at that place which he had failed to figure on. This with the sediment gather ing in his clothes refused to allow him to rise again.

His friends in the boat became excited and not being in racing condition were a little slower than expected in handling the boat. Finally they saw something on the water that looked like struggling strands of manila rope. They seized it; it proved to be his hair. Pick me up tenderly; handle with care" He slowly be-

Master of Sunken Ship
Praises Emden's Captain
as Brave and Daring Man

! NEWARK, ~. j., November 12-"A
brave and daring man" was the com
mander of the cruiser Emden, terror OF

captain of the British transport steam
er Lovat, one of the vessels sunk by the
German warship which now has been
nut out of action The views of Capt
Glegg are set forth in letter written
to his friend, William H. Tweeddeil' OF
South Orange.
What can we think, wrote the
British captain. of daring man cap
turing and sinking ships at his will
while our own men slept? He was a
brave man. When we left them they
were only seventy-two miles from Cal
cutta, and it was his intention to go
up and sink the pilot cutter. but he
had to abandon that ironical job. l

have awakened the authorities"
Capt. Glegg. whose ship was engaged
for two years in carrying coolies from
Calcutta to embark Indian troops. when
he was stopped by the Emden and his
steamer sent to the bottom within
forty minutes after being boarded.
The crew of the Lovat was put
aboard the Hamburg American liner
Markomannia, which had accompanied
the Emden from Tsingtau as a collier.
TT was.not war;" writes the captain.
TT was ruthless destruction, but, of
course, they were quite within their
rights in sinking transport.

ELECTROMAGNETIC, where we received every
courtesy and kindness we could ask
for, during which time we saw three
more steamers sunk.
"On the night of tie 18th the KILN
