I IIUIII UUUUUIU
Most Notable Rescue of History It
Made When Passengers and
Crew Are Saved
YARMOUTH. N. 8., Jan. IS. The
passengers and crew of the wrecked
Royal Mail packet Cobequld are slow
ly recovering In local hotels and hos
pitals from theVr terrible experience.
The wireless appeal for assistance
brought help to the perishing people
late Wednesday afternoon as the
doomed steamer 'was being dashed to
pieices on Trinity rock, six miles off
Port MalUand. The rescue will g i
down in shipping wnnnls as one of
the most notable ever accomplishtMl
on the Atlantic coast.
The Cobeouid had begun, to break
up under the In1terin of the terrific,
seas that had beem. niercilesa from
the tiniie the vessel stnick enrly yes
terday. Quantities of cargo covered
the waters as the lifeboats raniwd a-
longwide. The rastal steamers Jno.
L. Cana and West port were first to
get boo-ts into the water, and th
were followed soon by the boata of
the government steamer Lan4downe
and the Rappt.haimock. As the woii.
of rescue progressed tlie sea subsid
ed considerably and no mlshmp niarr-
ed the triumph over the waves.
All of the rescued had suffered
from the intense cold. Most of them
were frost bitten1, and every on
eliowcd the efforts of exposure to
zero weatlu-r. When, the roscuo
ships reached docks here many of
their, passengers had to be carried to
the hotel. Kor'the thirty-six liours
n'ter flie vessel struck setus lroke ov
er her continuously, and he was
coated with ice.
Captain . Hawson of the Cobequld
rematnod with his ship and refused
to leave. - He will undoubtedly lose
his life. The crew left with the pas
sengers. The ship is now breaking
In pieces. Other shlips are ntunl1ii

HOW TO EAT PORK SAFELY
Great risk always attend the use
of raw or undercooked pork. The 01
ms which may result from eating
raw pork, known as trichinosis, is
roused by a parasite or a worm, nil
croHcoHc in sire, which ocelli's m the
flesh of hogs. Thnre is no known
effective method lf treating the dis
ease. The patKxnt drten or recovww,
niparwitly irresiiive of the nature
of the treatment. Many who do not
die have their hen Kb impaired.
Statistics based m mtoroscoiidc la-
spection of over 8,000.000 hogs during
a period of nine years in this coun-
trv have shown, that t.41 per cent.
of the hogs were Infested with lire
trichinae. Thte fat alone make it
Important that everyone who oats
pork should for the protection of
health cat it only when thoroughly
cooked.
The trichina parasiMes die and be
come harmless When exposed to n
te.inpcrat.ure of 140 degrees P. for a
ahort time. In the case of uncurcd
pork the thoroughness of the cook
ing can, be Judged by whether the
