On June 8 in a calm sea the Limari went aground off Santa Rose, on the north shore of Peru. Passengers and crew took to the boats and a few hours later encountered a violent stor® which Mr*.

waves to a height of 30 feet and tossed the lifeboats about like cockleshells. The refugees were finally rescued by the Peruvian ship Mantaro, but only to be confronted with a new peril. The Mantaro carried a traveling menagerie and the lions, tigers *and monkeys were driven frantic by the storm. The larger animals made desperate efforts to break from and their howls added to the terrors of the storm, while the monkeys actually did escape, and fled, chattering wildly, to all parts of the ship. Mrs. Hayes arrived here on the Santa Luise from Valparaiso Qapt. W. T. Crossely comrnander of the ship, said that 300 persons lost .44^4p l the port of Valparaiso July 18.
