cold and rigor of winter storms and conditions which render the victims powerless to act for their own salvation, the case is one where most people would prefer death outright to tlie lingering misery of suspense and suffering. For that reason perhaps it is well that men who go down to tho sen in ships arc buoyed up by the simplest form of philosophy and if superstitious are ns quick to see a sign of hope as a warning of disaster in tho incidents
touching their lives.
On the filth of November, 1880, the lumber barges Menrs and Midnight were moving down Lake Huron, towed by the steamer Wilhelm, when they were overtaken by a fierce northeasterly gale and snowstorm, and about tho middle of tho afternoon tho water became so rough that tho tow lino parted under tho strain of the plunging and rolling of tho vessels.

When the party reached within four miles of the point where the^vreeks lay, it was met by Carpenter, returning In breathless haste to speed the rescuers. Ho stated that he had built fires and flashed Coston signals at times during the night and was certain there had been answering shouts from tho Imrgcs at first.

accident took place In Ottawa liay, ono k U ' J mile from land and some distance from Fish Point. The Wilhelm at oirco put about to recover her consorts, hut tho driving snow thickly veiled the boy, and they were soon completely out of sight. Tho people on tho Imrgcs made ready to ; east anchor, Imping to outride tho storm, hut almost immediately lioth vessels were | scraping tho bottom and were driven by the furious gale hard and fust upon tho point. As they were close alongside, tho crew of the Midnight determined to east their fortunes in with tho men on tho Meant, tho latter vessel being a three most- ' er, strongly built, and clambered on Imard | without a mishap. The wrecks were lying 200 yards off a wooded beneh, were | without signals or boats, and darkness i mining on added to the hopelessness of chance discovery. Twelve souls, including 1 two women, the wife of Captain Hnzen of the Meat's and tho cook of the Midnight, were in tho party. One of the younger j men, Daniel Mowatof the Menrs, stripped off his oilskin suit and mounted the rail, 1 Intending to leap overboard and swim ashore for help, but while lie stood watch- | ing for a smooth sea great waves fell upon tho vessel Avith a power that nearly swept all hands overboard. Mowat’s suit was carried beyond reach, and his shipmates prevailed upon him to abandon bis rush purpose of braving that terrible sea. His j light undersuit was drenched through and quickly froze to his person, causing agonies from which there was no relief, and which ended in death after a few hours. A water cask broke loose under the force of tho great waves and plunging across ; the deck struck thematoof the Midnight, fracturing his leg, and added another to the utterly helpless victims, which now, I Including the two women, numbered four. Tho waves continued to bent over the vessel, and tho people, thoroughly drenched with freezing water and incased in scales of snow and ice, crowded into the forecastle, where there was barely room to
Fur-
thermore, he said that the lifelmat couldn't live in the angry sea, and tho only hops lay In pushing on with tho bench apparatus and attempt rescue with the breeches buoy. Accordingly Keeper Ocha abandoned the boat wagon and united its team to that hauling the is-tu-h apparatus. Injhat way progress was more rapid, and thff carriage
reached the destination at noon.
Tho vessels were thickly coated with snow and ice, and tho quarters boro appearance of being the tombs of dead rather than the refuge of living sailors. The horses were promptly sent back to bring up the boat, and the line throwing gnu was made ready. The first shot was the turning point of the rescue, for it aroused the bentitnhed sailors in tho forecastle and brought them on deck and fortunately sent a lino Into the rigging of the Meat’s over their heads. The line was secured, and tho life savors, by walking tho shore end to windward, helped the poor fellows to get the whip and tail block and afterward the buoy hawser on board. All the ropes were quickly coated with ice the moment they touched the water, for tho sailors were so helpless that they were unable to go aloft and hoist the lines up out of tho surf, j Tho breeches buoy traveled to tho barge buried in tho water, and tho first man hauled ashore in it reached there more dead than alive, for his weight kept him completely submerged during the entire journey. Hi* was taken to tho fire and j with some difficulty revived so as to he able to tell tho story of the party Ini-
ties. Possibly this word, though express- irll latitudes ivo enough in itself, does not, because keeping fruit
of its frequent misuse in place of a

TELLING THE STORY.
prisoned In the forecast le of the Mcars—the dead sailor Mowat, who had perished a few hours before from cold, the crippled mato and the helpless women lying in their frozen garments, the water drenching them at every surge of tho sea, their quarters walled with ice and carpeted with snow. Resides, the inizzen mast was toppling, ready to fall, and the ship's stern bad burst open, giving the sea full sweep to tear out the ribs of her hull. Keeper Ocha saw that rescue, if made nt nil, must lie immediate, an ! that the breeches buoy must Is- abandoned, i‘specially for the women and thevounded mate, who could not live to la* hauled all that distance through the water like fish on a line.

When the steamer Wilhelm gave up tho search for her lost consorts, she Ism* away up tho harbor, sounding whistles of distress. She passed on her way the Ottawa Point life saving station and on hearing the signals tho lifeboat, manned by Keeper Ocha and a crew, rowed out into tho lake to find out what was up. After speaking the Wilhelm, Ocha proccodt*d down the lake to Fast Tawas, where there was telegraph connection with Au Sable, a point several miles up the shore and in the vicinity of tho scene of accident.

MOl'NTED THE RAIL TO LEAR,
tion, and two life savers set out on foot along shore to search for signs of the wreck. They were instructed in case the wreck should Im- discovered to build bonfires on tin* bench uid signal the wrecked crews to await rescue. The patrol traveled on through tin* weeds, facing a storm of wind and sleet which blew at the rate of 40 to 50 miles an hour, and at the end of a throe hours’ tedious I ramp reoohed a house nine miles from I lie station. At the house the men learned that two barges bad been seen drifting toward the shore at Fisli Point, nnd one of the occupants volunteered to guiilc tho patrol to the scene*. Ono of the life savers, Sorfmnn Carpenter, went with tho guide toward the wreck, and Hurfman Gill returned to the station, reaching it nt 2 o'clock in tho morning. Keeper Ocha quickly dispatched a fresh messenger to East Tawas for I teams and placed Ids lifeboat and lieach apparatus upon carriages ready for hauling to the scene of the wreck. The horses arrived at daylight, and both carriages startcil down the hooch, the shortest way to the point. Tilt* route by the beach was soon found to lie impassable, for the storm had piled up the driftwood In places to the edge of the timlx'r, and the surf rolled over tho clear places, threatening to swamp tho carriages There was no way left but to
Even that method was attended with dan ger, for a huge wave lifted the boat and dashed It aside with a force that tore the hands of tho surfmen loose from the ropes and nearly smashed their ark of safety to pieces against tho ship's side. With a marvelous alertness the men seized the ready oars and broke the ilangcrous speed just in thin. With a grapnel thrown into tho fore rigging of the Meats the Imnt was held alongside by several hands, and one surfmnn climbed Into the forecastle, where all the survivors lay in a terrible plight. Ono by one they were lifted and c’arricil to the rail, where tho lifetMWit crew, w atching their oppportunity, would sheer alongside to receive tho freight. The captain was delirious from anxiety and hardship and tho two women wholly powerless, so that tho work of transferring them to the boat was dlilicult and perilous. Already a plank of the Isiat had been stove by dashing against the ship's side. The keeper would not risk tho delay and danger of a double trip, and the entire party of castaways was taken on Isuird and fortunate ly landed on the beach. The more needy sufferers were hurriial to a neighboring farmhouse in a sleigh, nnd the lifo savers made the best of their way back to tho station on foot. Before they left the lieach all three masts of tho Mcars hail gone by the ixiard, and the vessel rolled over on her slih-, the sport of t hi* seas, and showing that rescue, though long delayed, had
been effected in tho nick of time.
George L. Kilmer. The “Lost” Umbrella.
“There,” said a man who was standing on tlio postotfioo steps to a friend, “Tvo an umbrella that doesn’t belong to me. It's the first time in my lifo that such a
thing ever happened.”
‘‘It's a pretty good umbrella,” said his friend, “and will keep off tho rain for a
season or two. ”
'■ Hut 1 don't want it, nnd it’s too had that such a thing should happen. 1 must have set ui> umbrello tlowu and picked this up in a moment of abstraction.” •‘That is what they call it,” remarked tin* friend, with a sly laugh. 1 Hut some other man has taken mine.” “Then it's all right. A fair exchange is no robbery. I wouldn’t worry.” "But, man alive, nty umbrella was a silk one, with a silver handle, and this is alpaca, and tho handle is of wood. Don't you see It Is the other man who has the
host of tho bargain?”
And as he walked off he viciously dug the ferrule of the umbrella Into tho cracks

They did not hesitate to attack the most defenseless and inoffensive of persons. They were as willing to kill women and children as men, and they never failed, 'JF, when prisoners'fy were captured, to f* subject them to w tho worst cruel- ” ties and indignities imaginable. One of their most cheerful practices was to bury their victims to tho neck over ant hills, where they would bo slowly tortured to deatli by the insects eat-
ing the live and geronimo. quivering flesh from the bones. This may sound like an exaggerated story, ! but it is given on tho authority of Ge ral Miles, tho stern old Indian figl r to whom the nation is indebted for tho termination of the Apacho troubles. Ho was in command of thodopavtI ment of the Missouri when he received an order from the secretary rtf war to go to Arizona and relievo General Crook. Miles’ campaign against the Apaches lasted about four months and extended into Mexico. He had a very lively experience with tho savages, and ho came to have a supreme contempt and disliko for them. Ho found that they wore not only cruel to men whom they defeated .in battle, but also to animals and birds. They were in the habit of dismembering squirrels and rebins while the latter were still alive and even of roasting them before a slow fire
without first killing them.
When Geronimo surrendered, General Miles made one condition, and that was that tho Indian chief and his braves should he removed from that part of the country. He did not favor their transportation to Florida particularly— in fact, lie thought that state not a good place for them, inasmuch as they had always been used to a mountainous country, and tho lowlands of Florida, with their marshes and malarious exhalations, would not, in his judgment, prove to he conducive to the health of persons born and reared in high lati-
tudes.
During tho stay of the Apaches in Florida they were confined within old Fort Marion, at 8t. Augustine, and were constantly guarded there by United States soldiers. After a time they were transferred to Mount Vernon barracks, in Alabama During the first year or two of their life in captivity there was great mortality among them, hut their health improved as they became acclimated, and as the Mount Vernon bar racks are on higher ground than is Fort Marion they have been much healthier since the removal than they were before. Each family at Mount Vernon is supplied with a framehouse furnished with range, tables, dishes etc. They have adopted civilized dress and to some extent habits of industry. All are compelled to bathe once a week, and some from choice wash themselves thoroughly oftener. Geronimo has been chosen justice of the peace by his fellow prisI oners, and his decisions are generally respected and applauded. Philip R. Rankin.
