Previous to the war the National In

large number of physicians to inspect

Miss Mary Curtis Lee, daughter of
the famous Confederate general, Rob-

the White House recently after a call
on President Wilson. Miss Lee told
the president it was the first time she
had ever shaken hands with Demo

much of her time abroad. The presi-

her and Secretary Tumulty presented
her with two beautiful bouquets of
flowers.

I3 ADRIFT On
RAFT FOR WEEK.;
BATTLE SHARKS
Two Women Among CastaWayS
From Barkentine Wrecked Off
Georgia Coast.
SHIP HIT BY TIDAL WAVE
Women Act az If Shipwrecks Were
Natural Part Of Sea Voyage-Hope
Almost Abandoned When Steam
ship ManzanIIo Comes
to Rescue.

New York--Mate Charles E. Olsen
of the American barkentine Ethel V.
Boynton, a bronze six-footer of Vik-
ing aspect and ancestry, recently ar
rived from Cuba with vivid yarn Of
the wreck of his ship in hurricane
blasts and ponderous seas off the Geor-
gia coast.
The wife of the skipper, Capt. G. W.
Waldemar, and his niece, Gladys Lar
rock of Boston, were in a ships COM
.pany of 13 all told that drifted six
days dashed or grasping life lines on
a raft and the detached deck house
of the barkentine. Sharks swarmed
around them at times and the more
vigorous of the castaways, for diver
sion batted the big fellows over the
snout whenever they came near
enough to disturb the serenity of the
women.
The stalwart mate says the shippers
niece and his wife acted as if ship
wrecks were a natural part of sea
voyage and did not do any praying, as
shipwrecked women are supposed to
do in moments of unusual stress. Per-
haps one thing that interfered with
prayer except of a mental sort, was
the unremitting exertion of holding on
and lodging wreckage and the crests
of combers.
Girl Almost Loses Hope.
On the morning of Monday, January
IS, a few hours before succor came
with the steamship Manzanillo, Miss
Gladys had almost abandoned hope,
and said to the mate: 1--WE never shall
see Boston" He laughed and, patting
her on the shoulder, remarked: Don't
give up" She answered his laugh
with smile, and said: 'We will die
with stout hearts" She went to
hospital at Santiago with the rest,
badly bruised and suffering from salt
water boils, but she did not die.
The Boynton sailed from Mobile for
Genoa on December &c with a full
cargo of lumber, large part dashed
on deck. Off the Florida coast on
January II heavy southeasterly gale
dashed up tall seas and forced the lum-
Der ship to heave to under storm try
sail. The gale increased to a hurri-
cane, and fearing she might pound out
her bow in the crushing combers, the
skipper turned tail to the blast and
ran miles to the northwest under bare
poles.
The deck load shifted in the fight
down the wind and the old ship began
to leak. All hands were on deck, the
starboard watch at the pumps and the
port watch trying to jettison the
deck load, which imperiled the lives
of all hands. The women were safe
from the tumult in the after deck
house.
The deck cargo, relieved of its lash
ings, went by the board on the morn
ing of January 10. The Boynton was
then waterlogged, her main deck al
most awash, and fioundering in the
trough Of the waves.

Hit by Huge Wave.


A monster sea, which the mate
called a tidal wave" but which
DOUBTLESS was a cumulative wave, or
two or more waves rolled into one,
rose 40 feet above the vessel and de-
scended on the deck thunderously. 1t
arched over some of the seamen. None
was in it's almost resistless course. 1t
tore off 40 feet of the quarter deck.
At $3.50 o'clock the next morning a
wave almost as big as the giant board
house into the tumult. The men cut
away the main and mizzen masts at
daylight. The foremost later jammed
itself through the bottom of the ship.
The yawl had escaped the smash
ing seas and an effort was made to
launch it. The drifting lumber stove
1t in and finally it was broken to
matchwood. The cargo below the
main deck, forced up by the water,
lifted the deck from the after house
to the place where the forward house
had been and the big section went
sailing off by itself and was soon out
of view to leeward The released
beams and boards leaped and rolled
out of the barkentine from both sides.
The skipper and the lusty mate,
with the crew, attacked the after deck
house and with axes and naked hands
&c. off the top to use as raft. All
hands got aboard and the seas
launched it.
The next morning, the mate says,
he did something that no castaway in
his memory Of wrecks ever did; that
is, as he said smilingly, 1--WE sighted
the main deck" which had drifted
back in shift of the gale.
Rats Lashed Together.
The smaller raft felt as if it might
soon go to pieces and it was decided
to board the main deck. Two hours
of hard padding with broken oars
brought the little raft to the big one,
and after flashing the two, the sea
having gone down somewhat, all hands
made the transfer, the men assisting

THE HOME MERCHANT
The home merchant. Who is he?

The home merchant. VINO Is ne!
He is the chap who gives yoi
credit when you are financially
broke, and carries your account until
you are able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back
your money or makes exchanges
when you are not satisfied will
what you have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind
his guaranty, and makes restoration
of all losses that you may sustain
on the goods you buy
He is the chap who meets you at
the door with a handshake, and lets
you out with message to the kids
and a real come-again goodby.
He is the chap who meets and
greets you on the street every day
in the year, and takes a nelghborly
interest in your family and your af-
fairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
bockkeepers and other employees
live in Ladysmith and spend their
money with you and with other La
dysmith people.
He is the chap who pays heavy
taxes to help support Ladysm1th
schools and build streets, maintain
fire and police departments, parks,
and lightning and water service.
He is the chap who helps support
Ladysmith churches and hospitals
and charity organizations, and Lady
smith lodges and commercial clubs,
and talks for Ladysmith and boosts
for Ladysmith every day in the
year.
He is the chap who visits you
when you are sick, sends flowers to
your family when you die, and fol-
lows your body out among the trees
and tombs, as far as human feet may
travel with the dead
He is the home merchant, your
neighbor, your friend, your helper in
times of need.
Don't you think that you ought TO
trade with him, and be his friend
and his helper in the time Of his
need?
Don't you know that every dollar
that you send out of town for mer-
chandiSe is sent to StrangerS-tO
men who never spend dollar in La
dysmith to men who would not trust
you for box of matches, to men
who would turn you over to the
police if you should enter their Of
fees?
You don't save much, frequently
nothing; when you send your mon
ey out of town and you take all the
risk yourself of short weight or meas
ure and of getting damaged or in
ferior goods. And don't you know
that the growth and prosperity of
Ladysmith depends very largely upon
the success and prosperity of the
home merchants? Out-of-town people
judge our city by the appearance OF
our stores and the degree of enter
prise shown by our merchants. And
our home merchants can not succeed
unless home folks give them loyal
support.
