For Twelve Hours Liner Hits the High and Low Places Off
 Cape Spencer.
PASSENGERS FED FISH

With a very light cargo and rid ing high out of the water, the steam CT Northwestern rode for nearly twelve hours off Cape Spencer in what the officers say was the worst storm they have ever seen. To add to the troubles of the Northwestern, while in the midst of the storm, her engines suddenly stopped and for four months the steamer lay in the trough of the sea, rolling from side to side and threatening to shake her masts and funnel loose at every roll.
 The Northwestern officers report the finest kind of weather all the way across until within a few hours of Cape Spencer, when the storm suddenly struck them. For twelve hours they bucked the raging seas, sengers escaped sea sickness and some of them are still in bed suffer ing from the effects.
 The arrivals from the westward on the Northwestern were k. w, Smith, Al. Shyman. c. l.. Crider, D. c. Allen, w. c. Wharf, C. H. Free grove, E. L. Vogel, L. Switzer, F. E. Parsons, D. Zareli, Mrs. J. P. Con way, and P. Caput.

Ryan has managed many clubs. He
was boss Of the Richmond club in the
Virginia League.
The new Bunny boss will take
charge in short time, probably join.
ing the club at Waterloo, and the new
boss is expected to put new life and
zip into the Rabbits. Ryan Is
catcher. and will probably act as
relief TO McGlade, the regular receiver.
Ryan has been up in the woods
around WEIGH. ". Va, for some time,
and Belden Hills wires had not
reached him, but when he got back
from his little trip and saw the mes
sage from Hill he answered double
haste and should now be on his way to
Cedar Rapids.
The Bunnies have been unfortunate
this season in their managers. Ryan
being the third boss to take UP the
reins of the local club. but the Bun
nes are real ball club, and with a
manager at their head who knows
baseball and knows his business. other
clubs in the little old Central Associa-
ton should have their orbs opened a
little in the not far distant future.
