AN OLD TIME MARINERS TALES OF
BRAVERY IN WRECKS
The Case of Gnllant Captain Nntman
Who Wouldnt Desert a Common
Sailor Pathetic Fate of Prince a
Koble Acvrfonndland Dor
Bah said the old and crippled
mariner of the days of long ago to the
young man who knew all about mod
ern ships of steel and steam You
have a lot to learn young man Tou
have as much sentiment in your con
struction as this stick I carry
The idea of a youth like you trying
to tell me that there is as much brav
ery and pathos attached to seafaring
now as there was when I was master
of a wind jammer You probably be
lieve that you are correct in your state
ment but man alive you are making
a fool of yourself Here in these days
you have lifeboats big and stout
enough to carry an army of men You
have steam to manipulate the falls
patent davits to swing clear No low
ering away by hands and not getting
them back over the side with every
pound of flesh a pulling New fangled
guns for throwing a life line rafts that
wont go to pieces in the first chop of
a sea cork jackets that need no in
struction cards but which go on like
a mans vest pumps that are rusty for
want of use seamless plates and doz
ens of other inventions in these days
Where were they in the old times
Let me tell you something I dont
say but that there are many brave and
gallant mariners in the business now
But the old shipwreck meant more in
the matter of life taking than the ship
wreck of today does Did you ever
hear tell of a sailor of the old school
trying to get Into a boat before the
passengers were out of danger You
neednt say you have because you
have not Why the only ones who
ever attempt anything of that kind are
stokers and firemen and rowdies who
have the impudence to call themselves
sailors
I remember the case of a shore loaf
er named Holmes who tried a trick like
that He was afterward tried in tho
United States circuit court at Philadel
phia and was convicted of manslaugh
ter He was one of thirty shipwrecked
persons who took to the long boat
which was greatly overloaded and con
stantly in danger of sinking Well this
beach rat Holmes and some more of
Abrahams men threw overboard six
teen passengers two of whom were
women to lighten the boat The court
held that a sailor is bound by law if
necessary to sacrifice his life to save
the life of passengers Furthermore
the court held that while two sailors
might struggle with each other for the
possession of the same plank which
could save but one if a passenger
were on the plank even the law of ne
cessity would not justify the sailors in
taking it from him You do not think
much of that law Well It is the law
of God It Is also the law of duty
Did you ever hear of the case of
Captain Nutman of the ship Aidar
He was a good sailor and a gallant
master and no matter what many
may think it is possible to be both
His ship foundered but he refused to
be taken off Do you know why he re
fused to be taken off There was an in
jured man on board and while the old
timbers were going to pieces under his
very feet he knelt down and said to the
man
I wont leave you lad On my
honor as a sailor I wont
On his honor as a sailor he would
not leave him Have you ever heard
of anything more touchingly honest
Captain Nutman went down with his
ship but managed to hold on to his
man and to get to the bottom of an up
turned boat from which they were
afterward rescued It was a month or
so after that when a townsman asked
Captain Nutman what the name of the
rescued man was
Why I never inquired he said
He just signed articles in the regular
way I may have heard it then but I
do not know it now He was a Swede
thats all I know of him
The friend shook his head in aston
ishment as he Inquired
What A Swede Take all that
chance for a Swede
Why yes even for a Swede I
didnt care whether he was a Swede or
a Laplander He was a good sailor
and would have done the same for me
had things been reversed
Nor Is that all young man There
was another shipwreck I know about
but the name of the craft has escaped
my memory The crew took to one
boat which was overcrowded A no
ble Newfoundland the pet of the ship
swam alongside the boat AH the men
turned their eyes sadly upon him but
they knew there was no room for him
in that hoat The captain loved the
dog better than he loved his life and
he stood up in the boat as he took off
his coat and said
I cannot see him die like this
Give him my place in the boat I can
hold on to the plank and he cannot
There was a chorus of dissent and
one of the sailors struck the brute over
the head with the blade of an oar
while another pulled his sheath knife
Dont hurt him said the captain
kindly but firmly
Order him away then growled
several of the men He will swamp
us alL
The captain hesitated a minute
waved his arm in the air and said
Back Prince and the faithful brute
swam back in the direction in which
the vessel had disappeared beneath
the surface Where do you find such
pathos in the sea business now Give
me the old sailor every time
The Widow of the Noted Club Man
Who Died Recently at Sea
Mrs Hermann Oelrichs who may con
test the will of her late husband the
famous clubman and athlete was Miss
Theresa Alice Fair daughter of tho
late Senator Fair of California and
she married Mr Oelrichs about fifteen
years ago She is a sister of Mrs Wil
liam K Vanderbilt Jr and Charles
G Fair who with his wife was kill
ed in an automobile accident in France
some time ago was her brother Mr
Oelrichs was In the steamship business
and at the time of his marriage was
supposed to enjoy an income of about
100000 a year His wife inherited
some 0000000 and Mr Oelrichs de
voted a good deal of his time to the
management of her estate Of late
years they had not spent much time
together Mrs Oelrichs living In New
York Newport and Europe and Mr
Oelrichs being especially fond of the
MBS HEBMANN OELBICHS
Pacific coast as a place of residence
He was in San Francisco at the time
of the earthquake and went to New
York afterward on a scrap of paper
signed by B H Harriman The Fair
mount hotel which was damaged in
the fire following the earthquake was
built with Mrs Oelrichs money Mr
Oelrichs made a will in 1902 leaving
his wife his estate but in 1006 made
another giving It mostly to his broth
er Charles May Oelrichs It was said
he did this because his wife did not
need his estate and because his son
Hermann Oelrichs Jr was already pro
vided for However it has been stat
ed that Mrs Oelrichs might contest the
will in the interest of her son if she
found that property was included in
his fathers estate which came from
her fortune rather than from Mr Oel
richs own business enterprises
Mrs Oelrichs is a leader in society
and noted for her Interest in automobil
ing and motor boating and since the
death of her brother in a motor car ac
cident she has given much attention to
the possibility of constructing a safe

AN ARCTIC CREVASSE
Narrow Escape From Death In Ita
Fathomless Cavern
Anthony Fiala in his records of
Two Years In the Arctic in Mc
Clures Magazine tells of his rescue
from a deep crevasse on Hooker island
He was crossing an ice cap when the
snow gave way beneath him He be
gan a frightful descent and then lost
consciousness
On recovering consciousness ho
writes I found myself wedged between
two curves in the walls of the crevasse
the convex surfaces of which narrow
ed sufficiently to hold me between tho
breast and back My left arm was
bent over my breast and had prevent
ed me from falling through the neck
of the funnel Beneath was a great
cavern in which I could move my legs
without finding the walls Had I step
ped three feet farther to the right I
should have dropped in depths un
fathomable
The darkness was Intense but far
above me shone a faint halo of blue
with rays of light that came part way
along a face of black glassy Ice This
told me where the men were They
asked how deep I had fallen I shout
ed that I was about lr0 feet down for
so it seemed to me Just then I heard
an awful sound In the crevasse It
appeared to come from below My
first thought was that a pack of dogs
had fallen in with me Soon the noise
turned into articulate speech and I
learned that Steward Spencer who
had tried to save me had fallen In too
At last I saw above me the end of
a rope which gradually neared My
right arm was free and at last the
precious line was In my hand I pain
fully made a bowline in the end of the
rope the fingers of my left hand being
fortunately free Slipping the noose
over my right foot I called to thoso
above to haul away I called to them
to move the rope to the right and then
to lower me and after considerable
difficulty in the dense darkness I dis
covered the steward but could not
rescue him on account of a projection
of ice that Interfered I told him It
would be best for the men to haul me
up and then send the rope down again
for him to which he agreed I was
drawn to the surface just in time I
fainted on reaching the top The
steward was hauled up next No bones
were broken but a cut on the stew
ards face required stitching
On measuring the rope Seaman Duffy
found we had fallen to the depth of
seventy feet into the crevasse a prov
idential escape for if we had fallen a
short distance farther to the north
where the crevasse widened wo
should have descended beyond the
reach of help
The Austrian National Hymn
Hie Austrian national anthem is one
of the most beautiful of Haydns melo
dies and of national hymns The words
of the Emperors Hymn were
ten by the Jesuit priest L L naschka
and were set to music by Haydn On
Jan 2S 1707 Count von Saurau gov
ernor of Vienna issued a decree that
Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser should
be the Austrian national hymn and on
Feb 12 it was by order sung in all
the theaters of Vienna In England
it is familiar as the hymn tune Aus
tria It is often sung to Newtons
lines Glorious things of thee are
spoken and sometimes also to Kenip
thornes Praise the Lord ye heavens
adore him
Haydns affection for this beautiful
melody is well known He afterward
employed It for the variations in the
Kalserquartet op 7G No 3 and
when he was near death and too weak
to stand he was carried across the
room to the clavier and solemnly play
ed the tune three times according to
Herr Pohl as his farewell to art Wil
liam Gardiner the Leicestershire stock
ing maker and musical amateur sent
Haydn six pairs of stockings woven
with the air of Gott erhalte and oth
er melodies
The Pickwick Papers
In 1S3G William Hall of the London
firm of Chapman Hall publishers
had in mind an idea for a new monthly
publication in which were to be pro
duced some humorous cockney sport
ing plates by Robert Seymour an art
ist then in much repute Hall called
upon Dickens to talk the matter over
and suggested that the latter should
supply the letterpress recounting the
comic adventures and misadventures
of the imaginary Nimrod club As
Dickens knew nothing of sport he felt
such a scheme would hamper him too
much to allow of his doing justice
either to himself or his publisher To
secure the unshackled freedom which
he desired for his pen he said it would
be better if the plates were to arise
out of the text This view being
agreed to Dickens says I thought of
Mr Pickwick and wrote the first num
ber of the series now comprehensively
known as The Pickwick Papers
Skeptical
There was elected to the city council
of Chicago once a politician of local
note by reason of his frank and ab
solute cynicism frequently expressed
with reference to reform in politics
For reformers as a class the cynical
Chicagoan had only a contemptuous but
good natured jest It is said that on
the occasion of the retirement of a
federal officeholder an Illinois man
who had long fed at the public crib
some one had observed to the council
man that the officeholder in question
was reported to have resigned for the
reason that he had tired of politics and
of office After all said the friend
Blanks a pretty fine sort Great
church member He says that he will
devote the remainder of his life to do
ing good
That so lazily asked the council
man Whos this fellow Good
